Florida is trying to outdo itself.
Byron Donalds, the Black MAGA candidate for FL governor who romanticized the Jim Crow era, now faces racist attacks from his white supremacist GOP primary opponent who has repeatedly called him a slave.
Byron Donalds faces racist attacks in Florida’s ugly GOP gubernatorial primary
The Trump-loving congressman is running for governor against an opponent who has continually referred to him as a slave. And he’s getting a taste of his own medicine.

They’re actually redacting Trump’s name AFTER the release.
🚨 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.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

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.

Those of us still working at the VA are trying our best to hold things together and provide good care, but are getting stretched thinner and thinner. We can only do this for so long before we break.
Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.
