🚨The first accuser in Ghislaine Maxwell’s "child sex trafficking trial" testified that Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump when she was 14 years old‼️

🤔 Why would Epstein EVEN want TraitorFelon45 to meet a 14 year old girl❓️❓️

I no longer consider this Supreme Court legitimate. I see it as being deeply corrupted by big money and conservative ideology. It is a partisan, activist court that is ruling in its own favor.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Trump is going to continue to do everything in his power to try to incite violence somewhere. If Portland and Chicago don’t work, he’ll probably go to New York.

He’s looking for a reason to invoke the Insurrection Act.

So I’m in Portland, and we knew this was coming. But what’s breathtaking is the disparity between what’s actually happening on the ground vs the … “lies” isn’t a big enough word. Saw this on the actual WH web page and it just floored me. I guess all we can do is continue to not take the bait.

I think the administration will try to agitate, but it’s important that we make these protests 1. HUGE and 2. Peaceful

To be completely fair to him, he’s drunk - hard to be a good leader when you’re sloshed.

It’s even harder to be a good leader when you have absolutely no leadership qualities to speak of… so he’s double fucked.

And yes, nobody should sign that.

NYT will not sign the Pentagon's press policy.

It's a clear attempt to restrict access to information and control how the administration is portrayed. Every org and journalist should refuse to sign this affront to the 1stA.

Why is KEGSETH such a pathetic, incompetent ‘leader?’

How is this going to go with Vought and his firing spree during the shutdown? Completely illegal, correct?

Yes. I would expect lawsuits immediately. There are clear rules for RIFs, and this seemingly violates all of them.

Thank a federal worker, though - a good chunk of them are working without pay, even more of them are wondering if they’ll have to fight to even HAVE a job. Morale sucks right now.

Donald Trump just got a COVID booster at Walter Reed, per the White House physician.

Let’s be clear this is the same guy who downplayed the virus, mocked masks, and turned lifesaving vaccines into a political wedge that cost hundreds of thousands of lives.
