This was a bribe. UAE royals gave the Trump family $500 million, and Trump, in his presidential capacity, gave them access to tightly guarded American AI chips. The most powerful person on the planet, also happens to be the most shamelessly corrupt.

Here's a gift link for the Thiel-Epstein article 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/b...

“It’s gonna go to numerous, very good charities.”

Trump on his multiple suits against the federal government: "I'm supposed to work out a settlement with myself ... We could make it a substantial amount, nobody would care, because it's gonna go to numerous, very good charities."

Just returned home from the anti-ICE protest in Portland today. A 100% peaceful crowd that the Portland Police Department (PPD) estimated to be "in the thousands" marched past ICE's Portland HQ. ICE, of course, responded with a barrage of tear gas and chemical rounds to suppress free speech.

Weird framing. How about: "A federal judge has rejected claims by a conservative group that Northwestern University's law school discriminates against white men in faculty hiring"?

And ... not to belabor the obvious, but the fact that these X pleas for applicants come from the people who brought you "we only care about MERIT." Good luck getting smart and talented candidates who can pass the "I am Loyal to Dear Leader" litmus test.

"America First... well, *first* is actually a half billion dollars of grift for me and my family, then some special market treatment for the UAE, then sure... America!" www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/u...

Talk about a high crime or misdemeanor. Abusing his sacred public trust, his duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, to openly help himself to billions of the people’s hard-earned tax dollars. (As for the “charity” remark, please.)

Your periodic reminder that end-to-end encryption is no help if the ends are not secure.

FLASHBACK — Trump FBI director Kash Patel to Congress, under oath: “There’s no credible information that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked minors to others individuals.”🤔

if Musk is doing this for London crime, what do you think he is doing for content about American politics, an issue that affects him much more directly?

The thing that shocks me most is that all of this incriminating stuff was sitting at the DOJ for 4 years and Biden & Garland were not cynical or ruthless enough to use it against Trump & Musk in the run up to 2024. If only they were the evil ‘weaponizers of government’ that MAGA claimed they were!

This is at least the third state where GOP has done so in the past decade or two. Bookmark it to reply to the pearl clutching when President AOC expands SCOTUS to 100 justices

We didn’t think the leopards would eat the resale value on our houses.

I find it kinda astonishing all these people who have spent so many years in public life, many of them media/ PR pros, didn’t think to get ahead of these stories. Did they really think it’d never come out? Bowles & Weiss never thought to mention it to ‘Free Press’ subscribers?

No mention of Epstein on Page One. @nytimes.com

i can’t believe the lead nazi is antisemitic

Hard to believe that the guy who dresses like a Nazi and runs a Gestapo would have bad things to say about Jews.

shocked to learn that Ernst Runt over here is an antisemite

In September, Musk tweeted “this is false” in response to a Forbes article based on previously released documents that stated he “planned a trip to Epstein’s private island.” He also wrote “Epstein tried to get me to go to his island and I REFUSED.” Yeah.. okay. Emails here:

I’m sure others have noticed this exchange between Michael Wolff and Epstein about exorbitant price Rybolovlev’ paid to Trump for his the Palm Beach Mansion and suspicious trades with MBS - but how many have twigged that Rybolovlev is part of the current Ukraine negotiating team?

JD Vance’s ‘Crazy’ ICE Story Shredded as Total BS

Indian Restaurant Manager Exposes JD Vance’s “Crazy” Minneapolis Story

Ro Khanna & Thomas Massie write to the deputy AG Todd Blanche: “As the bipartisan lead sponsors of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, we write to formally request access to unredacted documents of the Jeffrey Epstein files…” They outline specific categories of material to review.

History shows a pattern here. When governments begin criminalizing the observation of dissent—using technical oversteps as justification—it’s often a warning sign. We’ve seen similar patterns precede press crackdowns in countries like Turkey, Russia, and Myanmar.

JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”

Total BS undermining everything. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Ahhh. The timing of the bogus arrests all begins to make sense.

Watch the video of the interview, where Lemon "stood in close proximity to the pastor in an attempt to oppress and intimidate him, and physically obstructed his freedom of movement." Yeah, I'm not seeing it either. www.youtube.com/live/v4ctuhv...

Lutnick: “So I was never in the room with him socially, for business, or even philanthropy…" Ok, so out on the patio? In a yurt?

except for deleting those files with accusations about Trump after the were (inadvertenly?) posted by DOJ kinda proves again that this guy is a fucking untrustworthy liar who still sees himself as Trump's personal lawyer

These people are deranged.

We wish it weren’t necessary to say that the federal government’s arrest of journalists for reporting on a public event violates the First Amendment’s protection for freedom of the press.

By trying to fabricate foreign election interference, Trump is clinging to the SCOTUS line in their "Return Abrego" ruling that POTUS must be shown due regard and deference regarding national security issues. He tried this ahead of the insurrection and failed - so he unleashed the violent mob.

Oh! This is who we’re letting poison Memphis and drill a hole in nashville?

Joyce Vance: In my judgment, the Fulton County search warrant & its implications for the 2026 & future elections is the most important news out there right now & not getting the coverage it merits. Here's what you need to know & understand why this is such a significant development.

The arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort underscore the gravity of this moment. This has never happened before in our history. We shouldn't pretend it's normal. More reason for us to hold the line and demand a DHS budget that stops funding lawlessness.

Silver minus 26% Gold minus 9%

Yelling at a woman again? Must be an Esptein Files day.

lying ass

Why did DEA agents arrest independent journalist Georgia Fort?

Funny the number of black spaces in these documents in which the space exactly matches the words "Donald Trump."

Alas, they learn well.

Maybe they'll find the Epstein files in the Fulton County Board of Elections office . . .

Seems like one of those issues that should greatly concern everyone regardless of their politics.
