The most nakedly corrupt regime in US history
New reporting says Don Jr. directly facilitated the pardon of a crypto whale who had promoted the Trump's family crypto. Jr. brought the pardon lawyer to the White House, and introduced him directly to his Dad. Pardon occurred right after. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/pardon-the...

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

If evidence has been destroyed, juries are instructed that they can assume that evidence would have shown the defendant's guilt.
The Trump administration releasing only a portion of the Epstein files, and blacking out so much text in the files they did release, is clear evidence of Trump's guilt.

What an utter joke and completely unsurprising.
Why else would they announce on the day of release they need more time to redact.
Start arresting them already.

How you know Australia's gun control works? You can reference "the Australian mass shooting" and there's no confusion. You couldn't reference "the American mass shooting" without a city and a date (and, on a few days, an address).

Stop saying the tragedy in Sydney demonstrates that strict gun laws don’t work.
There were ZERO mass shootings in Australia in the two decades after strict gun laws were passed in 1996.
We have so much we need to do, but strict gun laws remain a critical part of the solution.
