Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

Mike Johnson makes a lot more sense when you realize that the primary goal of his speakership is the personal survival of Mike Johnson
RAJU: If defenseless survivors were killed, would that constitute a violation of the laws of war?
MIKE JOHNSON: I'm not going to prejudge any of that. I was pretty busy yesterday. I didn't follow a lot of the news.

In an undercover op last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, the now White House border czar, accepting $50,000 after indicating he could help agents, posing as business executives, win contracts in a second Trump administration.

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

Sorry to make it worse but there's a part of the WSJ article that no one is talking about that I had to share with someone.
![The Epstein estate also turned over another letter from the book that references Trump. It came from businessman and longtime Mar-a-Lago member Joel Pashcow, who made a crude joke about a woman that Trump and Epstein socialized with in the 1990s, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Pashcow letter included a photo of a posterboard-sized check for $22,500, which had been mocked up to appear that it was sent from Trump to Epstein. Beneath it, a handwritten caption said: “Jeffrey showing early talents with money + women sells ‘fully depreciated’ [redacted] to Donald Trump for $22,500.” The woman’s name is redacted in the image.
Photo of three men holding a check for $22,500 made out to Jeffrey Epstein, with handwritten notes discussing the transaction.
Pashcow and his attorney didn’t respond to requests for comment. A lawyer for the woman said she doesn’t know Pashcow and has no knowledge of the letter naming her, which the lawyer called a “disgusting and deeply disturbing hoax.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:owcnopiqb2bosqpstucesxu5/bafkreibfdetqc3ckntju6btkbzvayh2tminrwgfg2j5vpvbhfkvriczqjm@jpeg)

Amongst the weird things trump and his cronies have said and done vis-à-vis Epstein recently is the curious denial of trump writing and signing a lewd birthday letter to Epstein 20 years ago.
But that denial suffered a significant blow this week !

The Trump administration is now seeking to replace PBS with “Prager University,” a far-right propaganda organization that isn’t actually a university.
One of their “kids videos” has Christopher Columbus telling them that slavery was “no big deal” and “better than being killed.”

A disconcerting number of high status people upended their worldviews because other people did not affirm that status in the way they thought appropriate.
And social media accelerated this because for high status people it is often the experience of people telling you that you are wrong.

If you, regular person, did anything like this after a fatal car accident, you would be prosecuted for a variety of crimes, including insurance fraud.
If you then repeatedly lied to the courts about it, like Tesla did, you'd get prosecuted for that too, plus stiff monetary sanctions.

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.
Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.
