Here an underage girl testifies that Epstein vaginally and anally raped her before beating her in fury because Trump had taken her virginity before he could.

The thing that upsets establishment pols and special interest groups and mega donors about Mamdani is that he has chosen to…and is going to…win without them, without bending the knee to them. Worse for them…and best for NY and Dems generally, is it’s one of the reasons he’s going to win.

We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.

very easy to see what is happening. trump will run for a third term, he’ll try to bring the dispute to federal courts, where his election denying judges will rewrite the 22nd amendment to mean it only refers to “consecutive” terms.
This is becoming the standard line for Trump judicial nominees: All of them will say only that Congress "certified" the election, which translates from Polite Republican Lawyer as "Trump should have been reelected and only lost because of Democrat voter fraud" ballsandstrikes.org/nominations/...

By the way, this Abundance Agenda crapola is just another way to package the Reagan-lite pro-Wall Street neoliberal agenda that helped exacerbate inequality in the US throughout the Clinton and Obama years. It also plays like East Coast elite mush—because it is.
