This is the very essence of Twitter under Musk. Did you know that the biggest Medicare fraudster in Minnesota—Philip Esformes—is a well known MAGA activist who was pardoned by Trump? He then moved to Florida, where he was arrested again for fraud activities. Medicare fraudsters should be prosecuted

So let’s get this straight:
Trump’s DOJ buried Epstein’s crimes but kept flight logs on Julie K. Brown, the reporter who exposed them. Her 2019 American Airlines booking shows up in the files.
That’s not a data glitch or an oversight.

When Trump is campaigning in Middle America, will he mention that he pardoned a notorious Honduran drug trafficker? Or that he is risking children’s deaths by empowering anti-vaccine zealots? Or that his first draft of an Ukraine peace plan was written by the Russian invaders?

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

Oddly enough, I don’t think it has really sunk in for most people that Trump was good friends with a trafficker of underage girls, has been convicted of sexual abuse, and is using his pardon power to enrich himself. This creep is President of the United States. Why?

It’s not just the Epstein connection. It is the totality of his corruption. It is staggering.
Let’s just be honest. Trump wouldn’t be acting this way - using all the power he has to suppress the Epstein files - if this wasn’t the biggest scandal in presidential history.
