Trump got his judges in because the left decided that controlling SCOTUS wasn't enough of a reason to elect Clinton. Meanwhile the Republicans literally held their noses and voted Trump FOR the courts. And now they, not Congress, decide what laws are legal.

On @ms.now, Chris Hayes made the point at the peak of the Great Depression, Hoover’s approval ratings was around 40%. Trump is averaging about 34%. Americans seem to hunger for miserable government.

Since when do Americans “do business “with their government in this fashion?

Critics have likened Mr. Trump’s approach to extortion, while others have likened the process to paying out protection money to a crime boss.

How did the @nytimes.com editors let this sentence appear? "Critics have likened Mr. Trump’s approach to extortion, while others have chalked it up as a cost of doing business with this administration." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

It is tragic that this person was put in a position where she lost her life for no reason other than to serve the vanity of a man determined to establish dominance over a city that hates him

Epstein files.....

You know… there’s a sure-fire way to put Epstein conspiracy theories to rest… #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Those Epstein Files must absolutely terrible for Trumplethinskin.

Translation: "PLEEEEASE forget about the EPSTEIN FILES!"

Dozens of Epstein victims’ names exposed in files released by Congress - The Wall Street Journal

Naming the victims but no perps. Trumps FBI and DOJ worked overtime to get this done. On orders from Trump once he was told who was named and how many times. You can bet Trump kept an unredacted copy to use as kompromat against others for personal power and profit. Epstein's game from to start.

The FBI paid nearly $1M in overtime over a 5-day period to redact the Epstein Files. Does anyone think all that money was spent redacting Democrats? It's destruction and tampering of evidence for only one reason. Trump rapes and sex traffics kids.

Emails show Trump's FBI paid $850K in overtime to agents reviewing Epstein files: report

He pulled FBI agents away from counter-terrorism & human trafficking cases, and in a budget crunch, paid them OVERTIME to scrub his name and the names of anyone who offered him enough money from the files. Nothing screams "GUILT!" louder than that.

According to the documents, FBI personnel clocked in a total of 4,737 hours of overtime between January and July. Of that, more than 70% occurred during the month of March while personnel reviewed the Epstein files, the documents show.

FBI agents paid overtime to cover up a pedophile. That should be the running headline.

The FBI has been working overtime to remove Trump’s name from the Epstein files.

FBI paid $851,344 in overtime between March 17 and March 22 alone, and clocked 4,737 overtime hours from January through July—with more than 70 percent of that in March as personnel worked nights and weekends. ---- So like, there are copies of everything right?

🚨 NEW/EXCLUSIVE: The FBI turned over dozens of emails to me in response to my #FOIA request that provides a behind-the-scenes look at discussions involving the review and redaction of the Epstein files www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

The docs also reveal the number of hours the FBI devoted to the project, which required some agents to work nights and weekends. The FBI paid personnel $851,344 in overtime for working on the Epstein files between March 17 and March 22.

Newly released emails show the FBI spent almost $1 million in overtime analyzing the Epstein files as part of an effort dubbed the “Special Redaction Project."

‼️‼️ Newly released emails show the FBI spent almost $1 million in overtime analyzing the Epstein files as part of an effort dubbed the “Special Redaction Project."

To be clear, the FBI paid nearly $1M in overtime over a FIVE DAY PERIOD last March. And yes, part of it was to find and redact Trump's name. I spoke to sources who reviewed the files for the FBI and DOJ and wrote about it here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...

This is clever and all, but the actual reason people got sick and died all of the time was because penicillin hadn't been discovered yet. Or antidepressants.

While here I will make a plug to support @aftynbehn.bsky.social in her Tuesday special election in TN-07. Trump/GOP melting down, late polling has this race a toss up. Would be a huge, huge upset. Watch my new interview with her and donate 👇 bsky.app/profile/simo...

Trump's standing with the public has taken a huge hit in the past few months. He's now regularly polling in the 30s. And their big play to reverse this decline? War in Venezuela - and that's even more unpopular than his handling of inflation. 4/

Look at this incredible data. Republicans have bailed on Mike Johnson. His Speakership is in trouble, and there is a reason why @aftynbehn.bsky.social has made a +22 Trump district competitive. 3/

Four polls in recent days now have Trump in the 30s, with 3 at 35%-36%: 2/ 35%-62% (-27) ARG 35%-56% (-21) High Point University 36%-60% (-24) Gallup 38%-57% (-19) Econ/YouGov Again, Trump just keeps dropping. bsky.app/profile/simo...

Trump drops 11 points - 11 points! - in the past month in Gallup. Just a staggering decline. 1/

So all the redactions are actually his name, and nobody else's name...

They spent $1 million in OVERTIME to redact Trump’s name and didn't redact the children's names before release. Survivor approached by reporter in grocery store with their 9 yr old. Epstein Survivors Believe DOJ Is 'Intentionally' Exposing Their Names In The Files www.msn.com/en-us/news/n...

All I know is that the unreleased Epstein files have been gone through to redact Trump's name. The Epstein Estate files that James Comer released weren't redacted. Article says docs from Maxwell’s lawsuit were released in which the victims in that lawsuit had been redacted, but no others.

It’s truly incomprehensible how anyone can support this unhinged misogynistic scumbag who lashes out when he’s forced to face facts. Yelling at a reporter and calling her stupid, not once but three times, proving once again that Trump is an insecure, thin skinned, bullying little bitch.

In fiscal year 2025, tariffs brought in $195 billion (probably rising to a bit under $300 billion next year cause they only started in April this year). Individual income taxes brought in $2.7 trillion.

There’s only so much money you can get from tariffs, because the higher you make them, the more people switch what they consume to avoid the tariffs. The rough estimate is they top out at $800-$900 billion. So we’d lose around $2 trillion in revenue PER YEAR if you eliminate the income tax for that

“Might” is doing heroic work here

We are learning why the regime is so upset with the Dem follow the law video. For Hegseth is regularly ordering soldiers to break it.

secretary of war crimes has a past with this.

My god, they are nothing more than murderers

Yep. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

The illegal Caribbean boat strikes and the appears-likely-soon war on Venezuela (also illegal) are the most likely reasons, yes.

I'm kinda wondering if this isn't what prompted the "Don't follow illegal orders" video.

Gift link for anyone who wants it. And this reading between the lines makes sense. The sources for the story are likely people high up in the Pentagon who oppose Hegseth's illegal orders. This is what it looks like when they fight back. (Open opposition likely would get them removed and replaced.)
