Elon Musk clearly knew Trump was in the Epstein files, as he posted this in early June, and it was later taken down.
Most people thought he was stating something we all already knew, but as more information surfaces, this tweet was more true and savage than we thought at the time.

One thing Tulsi did with her propaganda campaign yesterday was release a declassified version of the somewhat classified 2017 ICA. So I'm wasting a day w/o rain to compare the two.
Eg, the more classified version said MORE about RU not leaking stolen GOP files.

And so it begins. Trump is now threatening to strip Rosie O’Donnell of her U.S. citizenship because she’s “not in the best interests of our Great Country.”
Remember when they mocked us for saying Trump is a wannabe dictator who will always put himself above the Constitution?

Calling Mamdani, a naturalized US citizen, an ‘illegal’ is the obvious escalation from Trump. He faces little pushback from top Dems.
How come no one has asked him why Melania never held that press conference on her questionable immigration status which she promised to do 9 years ago - and didn’t?
