Just a reminder that the Department of Justice is now 16 days late in releasing ALL of the Epstein files.
And, 1 day late in reporting to Congress what was released and what was withheld.

I gotta believe (yes, in Tug McGraw, but that's not what I'm talking about) that Epstein costs him followers. That Venezuela costs him followers. And, the slow trickle out of his base will cost the GOP dearly in November.
Watch them stick with him through their primary season, then run like hell.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

The case for the Nobel Peace Prize:
1. Attempting to renam it the Department of War.
2. Sinking boats, capturing oil tankers and attacking Venezuela.
3. Kidnapping.
4. Threatening Columbia.
5. Backing Putin in the war against Ukraine.

Because he does not see brown people as people, any Venezuelans killed are irrelevant.
Trump: "I think we had nobody killed, I have to say, because a couple guys were hit ... it's a war"

Everything he touches is tainted.
Imagine if the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner becomes president of Venezuela as a result of an illegal attack against the country.

FOX & FRIENDS: What do you think is next for the Venezuelan people now that you have removed Maduro so he can face American justice?
TRUMP: Well, we're making that decision now. We can't take a chance on letting somebody else run it, just take over where he left off. So we're making that decision

Also, 3AM posts like this don't prove he's working 18-20 hour days. They cause more work for people like Marco Rubio while they try to clean up his messes.
And, they lend credence to the belief that he's falling asleep at Cabinet meetings.

Unfortunately yes. Even the WSJ who did the interview scoffed at it in the story, but people are reporting it as if true because he said it. WSJ pointed out the WH wouldn’t let them speak to his doctor. His big hang up is looking weak but he is weak. He thinks he can snow everyone.

Could be, but a good article about MTG.
My takeaway is these politicians know something about Trump's medical condition that we don't.
Trump is very sick, probably dying— and they're betting that he won't last out his term. They're carving out space in the post-Trump MAGA world. MTG is distancing herself from the Vance 2028 camp.
