Even MAGA's "King" Can't Escape The Shackles of the Epstein Files

The Epstein Files continue to be Trump's Achilles Heel and can potentially derail his very clear and unsubtle desire to become the future "King" of America

Donald Trump is a wartime president.

War on women.
War on voting rights.
War on Latinos.
War on California.
War on institutions.
War on history.

A ceasefire takes effect, and Trump immediately uses the moment to trash American leaders in a campaign-style speech—while his regime cracks down on protesters at home and keeps the government shuttered. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast at 8p ET/5p PT:

Let's be clear: If North Carolina Republicans gerrymander their already illegal map further, they will be sued and they will lose.

I never bluff and I usually win.

News organizations including The New York Times, The Associated Press and the conservative Newsmax television network said Monday they will not sign a Defense Department document about its new press rules, making it likely the Trump administration will evict their reporters from the Pentagon.

Anyone know why Bibi is skipping Egypt?

And can anyone rip Trump from the spotlight for just 10s so others who played actual pivotal roles in the prisoner exchange can speak?

Even Newsmax has joined with many other large media companies refusing to sign on to Snowflake Pete Hegseth’s military reporting censorship regime.

There have been brave & courageous war correspondents & reporters throughout history who have uncovered fraud, corruption, abuses and worse inside DOD and the military industrial complex over decades.

Then you have useless hacks that would sign on to Hegseth’s censorship rules.

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

ICYMI — with electricity rates already skyrocketing, Trump just canceled the largest solar project in North America.

Utah’s Republican governor seems to understand this is probably not the best idea: “This is how we lose the AI/energy race with China” 👇🏽

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.
