When I hear people say they've "done a complete 360," I realize that they are still not very good at math.

When next week's vote on the Epstein files comes before congress, the American people deserve to know how each member of congress voted. This is not for political reasons. This is just to spotlight the morality and integrity of each member of congress as well as their support for the rule of law.

"Please don't throw us in the briar patch, Donald Fox!"

We are interested in the truth even if it brings down Mr. Rogers and Mother Teresa.

Let her roll. Release the files. Quit passing laws to let members get $50 million payouts. Save the money for the Epstein victims betrayed by the government.

I don’t condone any political violence, but MTG calling out the danger the Orange King is putting her in comes from the very culture she cultivated since he came into office. She’s playing us. I wish her no harm but I’ll be damned if it isn’t coming back to haunt her. I hope she’s safe.

IT WAS THE BEST MRI OF WHATEVER EVER IT WAS SO AMAZING IT EVEN HAD DR. LECTER IN TEARS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
Trump: I had an MRI and the result was outstanding.

Reporter: Was it your brain?

Trump: I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well.

I want a government that doesn’t sound like a deeply damaged, bratty boy when it communicates with citizens exercising their First Amendment rights.

Had 4 years of outrage media coverage of Hunter Biden having a board seat but not quite as much energy directed to what is basically legalized bribery. Need your tariffs cut? Just hand Trump a <checks notes> $130,000 solid gold bar and a bespoke Rolex desk clock. Media shrugs.

Musk sacked 80% of staff when he bought Twitter.

Bezos is sacking 14,000 people to replace with AI.

Microsoft are cutting 4.1% or jobs (9,100) to replace with AI.

Intel are cutting up to 25% or staff to replace with AI.

What's that about billionaires creating jobs?

The phrase “the dog that didn’t bark” comes from Arthur Conan Doyle’s story Silver Blaze.

In it, Holmes points out that a key clue in a murder case was that the watchdog didn’t bark during the crime, meaning the perpetrator must have been someone familiar to the dog.

The media is missing it!👇

WATCH — @milestaylor.bsky.social : “The average 🇺🇸 family saved $1,600 a year from tax cuts, but spent $4,000 a year on Trump’s price increases — now he's realizing what conservative economists have known for centuries: Tariffs are taxes. And he's having to walk it back.”

Guards at the Rankin County jail beat people behind closed doors and encouraged some inmates to join in on the brutality, former inmates and guards said. The violence created a culture of fear, widely accepted by officials to keep order, a New York Times and Mississippi Today investigation found.

This is Paul Gosar who has not represented Mohave county AZ for years.
The rural communities here suffer in high poverty, high inflation, lack of basic technology for children while this guy is absent and hides in Goodyear AZ.
He is despicable and needs to go… Dems put some money here to help us!

Can you see any other President in the history of our nation with the gall to put his own face on a US minted coin. What an out of control ego this idiot has. And his handlers are egging him on to new heights of narcissism. #TrumpTrainWreck

Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!

It gets even darker than that. 1/
