Trump would rather burn down the country than release the Epstein Files.

Over 80% of voters want it released.

Release the Epstein Files.

"With its steady escalation of military force against its own citizens, this administration proves that the most immediate threat to our constitutional order is not on the streets.

It is coming from inside the White House."

Hmmm... weird.

Graphic that shows Republicans absent when needing to vote on the Epstein files or prevent a shutdown, but celebrating when cutting taxes for billionaires.

Today, her house burned down. Three people were hospitalized. One was airlifted.

Reports say she’d been receiving death threats in recent weeks.

The incident is under investigation.👇

FBI Director Kash Patel’s “challenge coin” leans on comic-book references and gun imagery. It’s more apt for “a grown man who spent too much time on the internet as an adolescent” than for the head of a law-enforcement agency, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues.

Kash Patel’s Challenge Coin Is Perfect for Him

The FBI director has created a memento that symbolizes his unfitness.

“It was a glimpse into our new reality created by the Court’s decision in Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo…Justice Kavanaugh wrote that federal immigration officers can stop and briefly detain anyone they have ‘reasonable suspicion’ to believe is in the country unlawfully.”

Rich SOBs like Vance and Trump are yukking it up, having a good time, while my brother & his family risk losing their access to affordable healthcare and my brother-in-law is furloughed. Guess they are some of the reasons why JD had to explain the joke. It isn’t funny.
