Mark Epstein recently spoke about his brother Jeffrey Epstein and Trump's relationship: “They were very close. They used to fly on each other’s planes. Donald Trump was in Jeffrey’s office many times. I don’t know why he said he was never in Jeffrey’s office. That’s just a blatant lie.”

Maybe it’s just me, but I’d much rather have an entire Somali immigrant family with two happy trans kids living right next door to me than a white supremacist or a racist MAGA lunatic any day of the week.

We should also note that Trump doesn’t experience any sleep episodes when the focus is on him. He simply gets bored to death if he’s not the topic of conversation or the one speaking. 🤷🏻♀️

I came across @itsjavachip.bsky.social on YouTube when searching for people who played through FFXVI. It was good to see someone do the side missions and interact with the people the way she did. I was also glad to see I wasn’t the only emotional one with FFXVI. :) She was fun to watch and follow.

This is an enormous theft—not just privatizing a government function with a worse and more expensive for-profit substitute, but also a massive government financial data heist—and on the other side of it everyone needs to end up broke and imprisoned to deter them and others from doing it again.
Reported earlier today that a new DOGEr, Roland Tenglong Shen, who works at Thiel-backed payments company Ramp, is now at Treasury's central payments hub. A request for comment through LinkedIn went unanswered and now Shen's LinkedIn profile has disappeared. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/rampi...

@schumer.senate.gov is a damn disgrace to the Democratic Party and spineless man who gave in to Trump.

Believing that Kash Patel — conspiracy theorist, radical extremist, staunch MAGA loyalist, and newly confirmed FBI Director — is acting in the interests of the United States requires an extraordinary level of self-delusion.

This is probably what’s going to drive me insane in the weeks and months ahead.
Trump’s fascism is going to be presented alongside sports news and wordplay about new animals at the zoo, like all of this is normal.

So it seems Trump is a murder by proxy President. He terms SS coverage for Bolton who has been threatened and targeted by Iran. He’s also a critic of Trump.

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit.
But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it.
Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

Anyone, any entity, anywhere in the world can just pay him any amount (for anything he promises in return), and there's no disclosure of the payments, no oversight of any of it by anyone, and of course no potential bribery prosecution (of him) because... immune.

What irks me is the avoidance of responsibility and justice because “the people voted…..” bullshit. Justice needs to take priority over any fucking election choice. In other words, Trump needs to be thrown in jail and the key needs to be thrown away.
I've spent my adult life being an institutionalist, someone who championed the merits of our system despite its many flaws. But now, quite fucking frankly, it all feels like bad pro wrestling. There's no justice in the system. Just us poor fucks being crushed by the system.

So Melania Trump declines Jill Biden’s invitation for formal/traditional meeting between outgoing/incoming First Spouses. My thought was that tracks as Elon Musk has become Donald Trump’s bitch. #WhiteHouse #FirstFamily #Politics
