Terrifying emergency at my house and I quite suddenly have no oven or stove. Does anyone in Albuquerque want a ready to roast turkey that quickly needs stuffed in an oven or will have to be thrown out?

MeidasTouch is wrong here. These images are from two different filings in the Giuffre v Maxwell, suit with different dates. In 2024, she re-filed material with Trump's name un-redacted. It was a scandal, it got news! Both versions are in Bondi's Epstein dump and both remain up. No one deleted. 1/
🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.

Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

See for yourself.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

The country’s 10 richest billionaires have seen their wealth increase by nearly $700 billion since Trump reentered the White House.

Meanwhile, fundraising for essential expenses on GoFundMe increased by 20% over the past year.

“Golden Age” for who?

Our hearts are broken and our deepest sympathies and thoughts are with the family of Sarah Beckstrom. Her murder is unconscionable.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

I love this. Not because of the dunking on you know who (x2 at least), but because it is a reminder of the pure, simple pleasures of life.
Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

I don’t know. I don’t like it, myself. But there is an argument to be made that this fixes SNAP and air travel + makes the House come back into session (because it will have to consider the new resolution), which seats Grijalva. And the House likely wont take the deal because Trump says not to.
