FBI Interviewed Trump Accuser, Epstein Files Show
Trump was credibly accused of sexual assault in the Epstein files. It's unclear what became of the DOJ's investigation.

Amazing article by @gregsargent.bsky.social on how thanks to Dem governors, regular citizens with video recording phones, and even the excesses of ICE and the Trump admin, are changing public perception of immigration, individual freedom, civil rights, and what it means to be American.

This is a big deal. Approval polls, like the media, courts, and Congress, can serve as vehicles for presidential accountability. We are watching in real time as the institutions that could hold this administration to account wither on the vine.
Gallup announces, after 88 years, it will no longer track public approval of presidents. Trump's second-term approval rating fell to 36% in December, among the lowest ever recorded by the company. The president repeatedly has threatened to sue media and polling firms that portray him negatively.

There must be some mistake. I was assured by Brett Kavanaugh that detainees were sorted only by the content of their character, and it was purely coincidental that this mapped on to the color of their skin.
This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

The “evidence” cited in search warrant affidavit for Fulton County turns out to be unconfirmed reports of human error that have already been debunked, with no allegations of criminal intent, in a matter where the statute of limitations has long since expired. It’s slow-motion election interference.

The @nytimes.com today called Sen Susan Collins "an outspoken critic of Trump" but they didn't mention she's only critical when it doesn't matter--ie, when she knows there aren't votes to override whatever policy he's promoting. Do better, @nytimes.com!

The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal.

Sometimes technology truly makes things worse, not better. Remember when you could call the pharmacy & request a refill using the prescription number? Yeah, well I wanted to call in a refill for my husband. But because they know his number & I'm not calling from it, no dice! Really? Infuriating!
