The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Now that Trump has shut down the government, Democrats need to be loud and confident in our argument.

No 75% premium increases. No lawlessness.

That’s what we are fighting for. The people will be with us. But only if we show strength.

Retired FBI agents issue a dire warning: “The aim is to transform the FBI... into a personal enforcement arm of a political figure. We have seen these dynamics abroad—leaders who demand loyalty from security services not to the law, but to themselves. These regimes do not end well”

Prof Epps (law prof, among his other accomplishments) knows what he is talking about.
I cannot say often enough that for all his narcissistic swanning about the stage "agonizing" about "his" decision, the Constitution flatly forbids Trump from attacking a sovereign country that has not attacked the US without obtaining congressional consent.
1/2 Marker of our times:

Public discuss has normalized idea that whatever is churning around in Trump's mind can, *w no restraint or involvement from anyone else,* plunge world into recession ("my tariffs") or major war (Iran)

And that he'll make "reveal" of his whim something like 'Survivor.'

Trump’s tariffs get rewired for Apple, Harvard sues over ideological blackmail, NC Republicans fail to steal a court seat, and Putin drops bombs after “peace talks.” Also, Trump accidentally screams at the wrong McMaster. #tradewars #ukraine #palmsunday open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Trump thought tariffs were leverage. Turns out, they were the trigger. Foreign bondholders are slow-bleeding the dollar, the markets are glitching, and trust in U.S. leadership is circling the drain. #bondmarkets #globaleconomy #MarkCarney #TradeWars open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

Absobloominglutely!
Pete Hegseth should resign.

Every member of Congress who cares about national security should be calling for it.

If he were a Democrat he’d be gone already.

The level of antisemitism like actual antisemitism against Jews that people are willing to tolerate for the sake of Israel is truly extraordinary.

And I'm not even addressing the racism against Palestinians here.

it doesn’t matter how pro-israel you are. if you’re not pro-israel in exactly the way the israeli far-right desires, you’re an enemy of israel and the jewish people.
