‘Hey, let’s go listen to a guy who wanted to f*ck his own daughter but he settled for someone else’s trafficked thru Jeffrey Epstein talk about how he won the 2020 election while slurring his way thru a Benzo stupor and call it ‘Prayer Breakfast’.
UPDATE: More than 160 lenders are now committing to extended mortgage relief for LA fire survivors.
It's just the right thing to do.
At this difficult moment in American history, we must be honest with ourselves:
Our nation, once the envy of the world, is now in profound decline.
For the sake of our children and future generations, we must reverse course.
We can reverse America’s decline | Bernie Sanders
It is not good enough just to criticize Trump. We must offer a positive vision that will improve the lives of Americans
Congratulations to

I know Trevor Reed,
@trevorrowdyreed.bsky.social I wrote him while he was wrongfully imprisoned in Russia.
His book, Retribution, is essential reading if you want to understand Russia, Ukraine, and the Americans who chose to stand up anyway.

Retribution: A Story About Russia’s Cruelty, Ukraine’s Resolve, and American Sacrifice
Trevor Reed’s memoir is not just about surviving a Russian gulag—it’s about what comes after, why Ukraine matters, and the Americans who chose to stand with it anyway.
If your religion is such that you can listen to a 79 year-old drug addict slur his way thru a litany of offenses and crimes he boasts of committing during his first year back in office and call it a ‘National Prayer Breakfast’ you have mistaken prayer for moral pestilence.

Trump is pushing an agenda of energy scarcity.
Tighter supply, higher prices, and more pain for working families.

Worth revisiting this Timeline on Brad Karp and Paul Weiss settlement with Trump White House.⬇️
See thread by
@gtconway.bsky.socialThis is an interesting thread, to which I would add the following facts:
Feb. 21, 2025: Bondi says she has Epstein's "client list" on her desk
March 3, 2025: Bondi says she has a "truckload" of new Epstein evidence she will make public ...
Phang: Donald Trump would suck at playing poker, wouldn’t he? Because it’s so obvious. All you have to do is ask him about the Epstein files and he loses his shit.
Imagine if four years into our war in Iraq we had only occupied 20 percent of it and lost 1.2 million men. Would anyone say the US is winning?
No? Then how in the hell can you say Russia is winning?!

Donald Trump wants to nationalize the midterm election so he can steal it.
Get lost.
We will never let that happen.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.
Tom Homan?
The guy who put kids in cages?
That's who the White House picked to lead ICE operations in Minnesota?
If they were looking for an “adult in the room,” they picked the wrong guy.

Trump's Border Czar Can't Be Trusted to Make ICE Stand Down
YouTube video by Sen. Adam Schiff
Let’s be clear: when the Trump administration kills or stalls energy generation projects, that’s the White House choosing to make your electricity more expensive. Americans deserve better.
A Trump ‘Blockade’ Is Stalling Hundreds of Wind and Solar Projects Nationwide
‘Listen Jeff, appreciate the kickback with the ‘Melania’ doc but if you really wanna make big money with Pentagon, you’re gonna have to shut down WAPO too, we have some crazy plans; detention camps, martial law, and we don’t need some pesky reporters f*cking things up, Capiche?’
Whenever Trump is asked about the Epstein Files, he runs scared, lies, & lashes out at reporters, especially the female members of the media.
I share my thoughts on why Trump’s terror over the Epstein Files is a tell & why mainstream media needs to get its shit together.

Trump LOSES IT and ATTACKS Journalist Over Epstein COVER-UP
YouTube video by Katie Phang
The DNI has no role overseeing domestic law enforcement or in managing U.S. elections — absolutely none.
Unfortunately, Tulsi Gabbard has made election denial and sycophancy towards the president her only core conviction.
Gabbard could do the country a great favor and resign.
Commentary: Tulsi Gabbard is supposed to keep America safe. She's only looking out for herself
Her appearance at an FBI raid on a Georgia election center had nothing to do with her job overseeing American intelligence and everything to do with worming her way into President Trump's good graces.
ICE shackled a woman for 24 hours in a bathroom with 3 other men.
ICE detained a five-year-old child who got sick under their watch.
ICE has gone after people who came here through legal processes.
This is out of control. Kristi Noem has got to go.
Washington Post publisher Will Lewis, "who has already earned a reputation for showing up late to work when he showed up at all, did not join the Zoom" about the staggering cuts.
The Murder of The Washington Post
Today’s layoffs are the latest attempt to kill what makes the paper special.
A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world
Amazing!! Congrats, Norm!!

If Jeff Bezos had any strength of character he would pay someone to take the newspaper he's destroyed off his hands and contribute money to a trust to restore it.
What should alarm us about the Epstein files isn’t just the appalling details, which are horrific and criminal.
It’s that here is a growing sense that there is small number of elite who see themselves as above the law.
One year after the catastrophic Eaton and Palisades fires, survivors are still facing significant challenges with their insurance claims.
I am calling on the largest insurance companies to ensure survivors receive the compensation they're entitled to, and without further delay.
No more hurdles.

The Trump DOJ, led by Pamela Jo, lies and labels their political opponents “domestic terrorists” & they’re misusing an existing federal statute to jack-up routine prosecutions to "Material Support to Terrorism" cases.
My take on this perversion of justice that targets us:

Donald Trump said he was ‘entitled’ to five more Congressional seats in Texas. He started this redistricting war. He lost, and he’ll lose again in November.
Some AMAZING news out of SCOTUS today:
SCOTUS denies the GOP’s request for an injunction to block California’s Prop 50 redistricting plan while the Republicans’ appeal winds its way through the system.
Jeff Bezos destroying the WAPO, as we have always known it, on same day Amazon has a promo for ‘Melania’ doc at the White House (and Mel uses hostages as props) is def a choice. FLOTUS doesn’t do pressers unless there’s a buck in it for her, that WH event was pure greed & gross.
A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."
No struggling newspaper ever saved itself by becoming a worse and less essential product. But what's happening today at the
@washingtonpost.com is not just the latest devastating contraction of the news industry; it's the gutting of an American institution vital for a healthy society
Inflation is hot, hot, hot under Trump & Republicans. The cost of their tariffs is being passed along to American consumers.
We can focus on affordability and fight back against all their other ridiculous attacks, including voting rights.
FYI, after laying off a third of it’s staff it’s now called ‘Washington Po’.
Some day, when we’re all celebrating, even MAGA will deny they ever supported Donald Trump. Check out the full video on my YouTube page (link below). Subscribe to stay informed!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tQc...Operation Metro Surge is not making Minnesota safer. Today's announcement is a step in the right direction, but we need a faster and larger drawdown of forces, state-led investigations into the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, and an end to this campaign of retribution.
With the immediate removal of 700 federal agents from Minnesota, border czar Tom Homan put the total number of agents remaining in the state at approximately 2,000.
That’s still a dramatic increase from the normal immigration and enforcement staffing in Minnesota of around 150 agents.

White House border czar is negotiating with local officials on a deal for county jails to cooperate with federal immigration officials.
The dude who rented out the city of Venice for his wedding just fired a third of WAPO staff to save money. If you use or consume Amazon products you are helping an inglorious asshole become richer.
