Someone who was tasked with looking through Steve Bannon's iPhone (I'm guessing from the FBI) found a photo of Trump and Maxwell together

Side note: Sinatra’s mom Natalina “Dolly” Garaventa, a midwife by trade, ran an underground free abortion clinic, chained herself to a fence to fight for women’s suffrage and was an extremely influential organizer for the Democratic Party

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

Yesterday, Trump posted nearly 200 times, relentlessly pushing conspiracy theories. That’s not the behavior of someone who had a good Christmas.

In Canada, the 60 Minutes clip about CECOT that Bari Weiss canned was broadcast. @jasonparis.bsky.social captured it. Enjoy. Bluesky only allows 3 minute videos max. I hope this works. 1/5.

This image (File 468 in the Epstein records), showing Donald Trump, was part of the DOJ’s Friday release and has since vanished from the agency’s website. Funny how that works. Someone must have missed that redaction, oops.

Epstein was indicted in 2006. He was investigated for child sex trafficking in 2005. Brooks attended the event in 2011.

The period known as Redemption is little known to most Americans — I’d argue intentionally — but it’s the period after the fall of Reconstruction where Black people are stripped of their rights, democracy falls in the South and the system of racial apartheid is entrenched.

Trump's approval ratings are tanking.
He's flailing on the economy.
He backtracked on the Epstein files and lost control of the GOP.
His plot to steal the 2026 midterms is faltering.
Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful.

A lot of the (often quite powerful!) guys emailing Epstein were asking him for dating advice, which seems to suggest that they saw his own sex life as aspirational.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.
