Never forget: Trump has known history of paying off women to keep them from talking about having sex with him. And also history of sending fixers to threaten and scare them.
Here is a gift link to the NYT Trump Epstein article that has explosive new claims.
The piece briefly touches on 14-year-old Jane Doe, who says Epstein brought her to meet Trump at Mar-a-Lago. I wrote about that last month (link below.)

It's a shell game. Trump is taking money from soldiers' housing subsidies to "give" them $1,776 "warrior dividend" checks.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.

Either @schumer.senate.gov lost control of his senators or he orchestrated this cave. Both are a bad look and he should step down as minority leader or retire. We gave him leverage and he blew it.
