Epstein “alleged” in emails that Trump knew or that Trump was there?

No @nytimes.com. He “wrote” or “said.”

His emails and his statements are not pleadings or indictments.

Can you please do democracy a solid and report accurately and without shading?

We will starve hungry Americans. We will cripple our transportation network. We will occupy American cities. We will kidnap people and disappear them.

We will do anything and everything so that everyone forgets about the Epstein files and that the president is a pedophile.

LinkedIn just told me I should follow Bari Weiss. What I take from that is that I should delete my LinkedIn profile.

Today, it’s a cause for celebration. But I’m old enough to remember when going en banc in the Ninth Circuit was a bad thing. (It was just after the dinosaurs.)

JUST IN: 9th Circuit temporarily reinstates Judge Immergut's 1st TRO blocking solely Trump's Oregon National Guard deployment. Both TROs now in effect (CA/TX too). 9th to decide on en banc by Tuesday. Move undercuts DOJ's bid to lift 2nd TRO but court says no msg on merits.

This guy has been through it. He worked with us after he got out of prison and as this was unfolding.

He’s brilliant and clear eyed.

He will never get back the time he lost. But I know he will be a fearless lawyer on the side of people.

Kristi Noem is in PDX today.
She brings the cameras w/ her and is desperate to incite Americans to do things she can film and edit into propaganda vids.
Do not give her what she wants.
The regime is frantic to manufacture a riot. Do not give them what they want.

And good on you Secretary of Defense Hegseth for announcing the deployment of Texas troops before the start of the hearing on the second TRO in Oregon. Sir, if I may speak directly and candidly: it was a remarkable flex that had quite the impact.
