Reporter: The DOJ is sending the Epstein files to Oversight

Trump: You have a lot of people that could be mentioned in those files that don't deserve to be because he knew everybody in Palm Beach. The whole Epstein thing is a democrat hoax

What's going to happen when iCE kidnaps soccer players from African and South American nations competing at the World Cup simply because ICE has a habit of profiling. Simply put, if the teams decide to go for a walk in between games, will they be picked up? Mark my words, this will be a reality.

i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.
On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout.

On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar.

This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media.

Then the Taliban took his family. 🧵

Thomas Jefferson was 44 when he began what many in 2025 STILL consider a romantic tryst or loving affair with Sally Hemings.

Ms. Hemings had no legal capacity to consent to such a relationship not only because she was enslaved, Jefferson's property,

BUT ALSO BECAUSE SHE WAS 14-YEARS-OLD. /1

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

I’m starting my annual walk across Connecticut today! Beginning in the very northwest corner of the state - Salisbury. I will talk to hundreds of people over the next few days about what they want (and don’t want!) from their elected leaders.

My favorite week of the year!

Propaganda we are NOT falling for:

1. Elon Musk made the govt more efficient
2. DOGE's exfiltration of the private data of millions was legal
3. DOGE has been “maximally transparent”

The Westminster Parliamentary system has some weird traditions - the dragging of the new Speaker to their seat by the PM & Opposition leader being but one.

I love this tradition. It’s always worth a smile. #cdnpoli

In addition to thinking about those who gave their lives, I’m also thinking about the erasure of the history of Memorial Day. www.washingtonpost.com/history/2023...
Black people may have started Memorial Day. Whites erased it from history.
Thousands of formerly enslaved people put flowers on Union soldiers’ graves on May 1, 1865. For well over a century after the Civil War, the significance of the day was buried.

Well, this aged well
I think journalists, policymakers and good govt types are struggling to understand DOGE because their mental model is that it is a government reform commission, operating like previous ones. Maybe. But it might be better to start thinking about it as a hostile takeover of the govt by oligarchs.
