Trump ally and right-wing, gun-loving nut job Charlie Kirk has been pronounced dead after being shot at one of his own conservative rallies in Utah. I don’t condone violence. I do stand for justice. He was one evil dude. We have a much longer, harder fight ahead… #charliekirk

If this stands, it opens the door for any president to ignore judicial checks and install political loyalists across the justice system without oversight. It means the courts can be overridden when they get in the way.

This is another post breaking down our last post.

The Justice Department’s decision to fire a judge-appointed U.S. Attorney and reinstate Trump’s preferred pick, without Senate confirmation, isn’t just unusual. It’s a direct attack on the separation of powers that defines American democracy.

Ozzy Osbourne visited my magic shop. He said he'd like to buy some stink bombs. How many? All of them. I had to go through drawers finding every last one. He bought 900 of them. To sign the credit card slip I handed him a shock pen, which he thought was hilarious and bought that too. RIP

The DOJ has digital tools to search 100,000 Epstein files in seconds, so why did 1,000 federal employees work 24-hour shifts to flag Trump’s name?

Because it’s not about finding the truth. It’s about controlling the narrative.

If there’s nothing to hide, release the files.
