Hi Bluesky. I'm a blue check Twitter refuge looking for a home. You may know me from such hits as "finding the census record showing Stephen Miller's great grandmother never spoke English" and "finding the grand jury indictment for Tomi Lahren's second great-grandfather for immigration fraud."

This is so gross. Anyone who has lived in Minnesota (Minneapolis/St. Paul specifically) will tell you that the Somali population there is among the kindest and hardest-working people you'll ever meet.
Trump on Minnesota's Somali community: "They contribute nothing. I don't want them in our country, I'll be honest with you."

You left out "The Democrats were Epstein's friends. All of them."
Trump: "What I just don't want Epstein to do is detract from the great success of the Republican Party ... don't talk about it too much, because honestly I don't want it taking away from us. It's really a Democrat problem. The whole thing is a hoax."

Breaking news: Attorney General Pam Bondi indicated she has appointed a prosecutor to examine the relationships between Jeffrey Epstein and other prominent Democrats, including former president Bill Clinton, as requested by President Trump today.
Bondi says Justice will investigate relationships to Epstein suggested by Trump
President Donald Trump suggested the relationships between the disgraced financier and several prominent Democrats deserve more scrutiny than his own connections to Epstein.
