Imagine a CEO posting that racist video on their personal account, their chief spokesperson defending it and keeping it up for 12 hours, then blaming a “staffer” for “erroneously” posting it… and neither the CEO nor the spokesperson having to resign.

This is almost unprecedented.

Demonstrating that Trump believes his cult will believe anything he tells them to believe, the White House announced that the shockingly racist meme posted on Trump's Truth Social account was posted by "a White House staffer."
It was posted in the middle of the night, so which "staffer" is that?

Fun fact: Under the speech and debate clause, members of Congress have absolute immunity from libel and defamation laws for statements made during floor proceedings and committee hearings. So take notes, y'all. And share the results later.
Hey members of Congress, any of you taking requests?
I've got very particular requests.

ALERT: Per letter sent by the Justice Dept, members of Congress can arrange to view the full Epstein files beginning Monday at 9am at Justice Dept headquarters in Washington

Former Ambassador Peter Mandelson described Epstein as his "best pal", with evidence Mandelson knew exactly what Epstein was. Mandelson's choices are simply resulting in consequences now. Deal with it, chump.

Since Kristi Noem is in charge of the Department of Homeland security, it is now official policy to have federal agents kick puppies.
MEMPHIS: “Memphis Safe Task Force” (U.S. marshal) caught KICKING A PUPPY 😳 as they arrested a guy for on a drug warrant
“He was harmless. There’s no reason he should’ve done that.”

Elon is sad that:
1. He didn't get to "wild" party at Epstein's island despite his email to Jeffrey begging to do that.
2. Now everyone knows about said email.
Also, Elon is generally a sad little misogynist white supremacist jerk.

What's a little mass childhood trauma compared to the profit opportunity for Trump cronies managing the new detention centers?
The number of children in ICE detention on a given day has skyrocketed, jumping more than sixfold since the start of the second Trump administration. The Marshall Project analyzed data obtained by the Deportation Data Project and found that ICE held around 170 children on an average day under Trump.
Children in ICE Detention Skyrocket in Trump’s Second Term
With a six-fold jump in children in detention, advocates allege harrowing conditions are putting kids’ lives at risk.

A friend of mine from Texas told me that the "lawyer cat" is a long-standing jerk of an attorney, like, a standout in a group of jerk attorneys, so: Happy anniversary.

Honestly, I'm not even a tiny bit surprised about the Noam Chomsky-Epstein connections in the released files.

Homan says the U.S. is "serious" about deporting people.
Yes, but it's Tom Homan, so if you want him to say something different, just give him a bag of cash.
