This is getting confusing. Is the Iran war a distraction from Epstein? Or is Epstein now a distraction from the Iran war?

Meanwhile on Truth Social... A completely clear and intelligible post from the the president.

We have never looked more feckless and ridiculous to the entire world.

And over on Twitter, the White House got community noted. lol

I really don’t believe her, do u?

My speculation: Michael Wolff has said Epstein told him the first time Trump and Melania had sex was on Epstein's Lolita Express Jet. He might release the audio of their interview or a similar story might confirm some of the sordid details. Melania is trying to get ahead of it.

To bury the Epstein files, he launched a war with Iran. Now that it’s unraveling, they’re scrambling back to the Epstein files like none of it ever happened. Almost like the chaos was the point.

Republican support is slipping. Democrats are winning, but without enthusiasm.

Oh, just @fetterman.senate.gov taking yet another Republican position.

These huge cars don’t belong on our streets. Wish we would have the same strategy here. www.ft.com/content/3eb7...

If the petrodollar dies, America's economy crashes.

It was nice of Melania to get everyone talking about the Epstein Files again.

US capitalist democracy is fascism, and has been for a long time.

I am not sure why Melania Trump decided to make a statement about Jeffrey Epstein seemingly out of nowhere today, but if the idea was to put the ongoing coverup in the rearview mirror it will backfire spectacularly

The People always lose under fascism. Always.

Happy 50th anniversary to “All the President’s Men” — a film that owes its existence to Redford, who bought the film rights, developed the script and cajoled a reluctant Woodward & Bernstein. I thought it was “a great character study,” he said later. But, for months, “they didn’t return my calls.”

The US is technologically inferior. BYD's new 'Blade Battery 2.0' can add 400 km range in 5 minutes (70% charge) or full (97% charge) in 9 minutes. If the US invested in infrastructure for people instead of war, like China does, we could also fill our electric car batteries up at 1500kW stations.

Not interested in anything melania has to say about epstein unless it's under oath.

Wait, this isn't Colin Jost on SNL? Video: bsky.app/profile/atru...

One flew east, one flew west, one flew over the cuckoo’s nest.

So instead of being tried and imprisoned for treason, we’re going to let Vance and/or Rubio run for President. Do I have that right? Where have I seen this play before? 🤔

Why did Melania choose today to suddenly deny any association with Epstein? Is Iran about to publish all of them or something? 😂

Israeli Axios reporter Barak Ravid says Trump gave Netanyahu a “green light” to keep bombing the hell out of Lebanon today (After Pakistan’s PM said Lebanon was included in the ceasefire deal with Iran)

I put on Songs in the Key of Life on Easter and since then have been on a huge Stevie Wonder spree. I’ve said it before but his run from 1972-1976 is just unparalleled

That’s really funny. Melania says there are attempts to ‘defame her reputation’ by linking her to knowing about Epstein crimes. Honey you pulled up into this country with that reputation.

“If they can automatically enroll men into the draft at 18, they can automatically register Americans to vote at 18. Ask yourself why they won’t” Josh H.

Credit where credit is due: Congressional Democrats showed up during recess - they came back early - to introduce a war powers resolution. Republicans blocked it.

There is no such thing as birthright citizenship for illegal aliens. If you are born in the United States, you are a citizen. That's what the Constitution clearly states. And, as usual, Republicans want to ignore the Constitution.

Everybody should watch this insane presser. It's like a bad scene in a Netflix thriller right before shit is about to go down.

I have got nothing … the republicans are either making a shit load of money off of Trump wiping out a whole civilization or they are fuckin nuts 🥜 or both.

The fuck is this shit? What is she getting out ahead of?

In an interesting example of “if Trump says it enough times it becomes true”: I wouldn’t trust anything coming out of the @nytimes.com

My husband spent $117, to fill up his car. Regular gas. In NC. Pre-war it was $70. The elite think they’re going to lie their way through this as if people won’t notice that their gas bill is up $100 a month.

😕

15 people have died in ICE custody JUST THIS YEAR. That is 1 death a week. Under this regime, 2026 is set to be the deadliest year for ICE detention EVER. The need for guardrails and meaningful oversight could not be more urgent.

Nothing says “America first” like building a ballroom with foreign steel.

Because of course. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Personal income fell, inflation held at 3% in February #UPI

Stunning reporting here that shows U.S. troops were left exposed in a known target zone with virtually no drone defenses. Now the soldiers themselves are calling out the Pentagon’s version of events as false. Hegseth and Trump keep lying to the American people about this war.

Approaching the one-year anniversary this weekend: @atrupar.com

Trump has given European allies just days to commit warships to the Strait of Hormuz, effectively threatening them to clean up his mess, per Der Spiegel — with diplomats calling it an “ultimatum” after a closed-door meeting with NATO’s Mark Rutte.

They walk amongst us, and they vote.

Are we about done with Trump's leadership now, or?

The ceasefire lasted a mere 12hrs. Iran is preparing a response to Israel's attacks on Lebanon. They’ve also closed the Strait of Hormuz again. Israel has killed over 250 civilians today with their indiscriminate bombings. They are pathologically incapable of letting ANYONE exist. FUCK ISRAEL

It was a corrupt betrayal of the public trust to give Kristi Noem a $70 million luxury jet for personal use, but they are giving it to Melania instead, so it’s fine.

Observations: Nothing I ever read in my Weekly Reader or saw on School House Rock prepared me for the fact that a president could lose his mind in front of the country and no one would seemingly be able to do anything.
