The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

The Department of Justice failed to publicly release all of its files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by a Friday deadline, violating a new federal law explicitly mandating that the trove of documents be turned over for public scrutiny, Republican and Democratic lawmakers said.

MAJOR UPDATE: It appears Trump personal lawyer Todd Blanche—Deputy Attorney General of the United States—may have committed a federal crime in ordering certain redactions contrary to federal law. That's what Rep. Massie (R-KY) is writing about now.

It’s outrageous Trump is locking up hardworking community members like Kelly Yu while pretending he’s focused on real criminals.

I met Kelly at the ICE detention center in Eloy. She’s a small business owner who’s only ever made this country stronger. She should be freed.

Kelly Yu has been in immigration detention for over six months. A pair of political leaders from opposite sides of the aisle say that fact should free her.

The Kennedy Center was established and named by an act of Congress. No media outlet should call it anything different until Congress amends or repeals that Act. Trump is not a king.

BREAKING: Kennedy Niece Maria Shriver:

"It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not."

While the media chums it up with Greene, reminder that she has a bill going before the House today to make it a *federal crime* to provide or advocate for healthcare for trans youth.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "What I'd like to see from the president is empathy for Americans. Donald Trump is a billionaire and he's the president. When he looks into a camera and says 'affordability is a hoax,' he's talking to Americans that are suffering and have been for many years now."

Venezuela is not completely surrounded by an armada, because Venezuela is not an island.

Also, Venezuela nationalized its oil industry in 1976, when Hugo Chávez was 21 and Nicolás Maduro was 13.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

What does the Epstein file deadline, Rob Reiner‘s death post blowback, and the Vanity Fair article lead to?

An act of WAR against Venezuela.

Did she know that when she said of her conversations with Trump, “He wants to keep on blowing boats up until Maduro cries uncle,” she was underwriting a future war crimes indictment against him?

She’s *confessing* that Trump is engaged in the very *definition* of terrorism, *not* drug interdiction.
