As David Smith of The Guardian wrote that Epstein’s in-box painted a picture of “a world where immense wealth, privileged access and proximity to power can insulate individuals from accountability and consequences. For those inside the circle, the rules of the outside world do not apply.”

Trump spent this morning calling a group of military veterans in Congress traitors and saying they “should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL.” Their crime, in Trump’s eyes, was their release Tuesday of a video reminding military and intelligence officers that they must refuse illegal orders.

Dear GOP,
If you’re gonna do anything with the tariff money, stop bailing out Argentina and passing out checks so Trump can pretend he’s personally writing these checks.
Pay down the debt. For once

Trump is impatient that he cannot claim a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia. His meeting with Putin was a complete bust. The 'deal' he is proposing to Ukraine would be a complete capitulation, disarming and giving up territory.

There is no excuse for Trump calling a woman reporter a stupid schoolyard name. He is losing it. He has no ability to answer a female journalist's question. He didn't have a good answer so he resorted to rudeness. @democrats.org call him out.

This is equally important, perhaps even more so. Thank you for this work.
Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

We can’t let up the pressure now. Trump needs to sign the bill and we need to see the full files released.
These young girls were misled and abused by powerful men who thought the rules didn’t apply to them, that they could get away with anything. It’s the least we can do for justice.

BREAKING: The Senate just passed the Epstein bill by unanimous consent.
The bill will automatically pass once it's delivered to the Senate and will then advance to Trump's desk for him to sign — possibly as early as this evening.

Good to read of a Washington Post editorial correcting Trump's untruths about Khashoggi. I hope the Prince gets to read it before he leaves the US.

Excellent point.
On the one hand, many of us would be upset about Trump making this sort of commitment to a regime like Saudi Arabia. On the other hand, we know a commitment from Donald Trump is worthless.
Trump: "Tonight I'm pleased to announce that we're taking our military cooperation to even greater heights by formally designating Saudi Arabia as a major non-NATO ally."

Revolting.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
