We just interviewed Michael Wolff about the lawsuit. Get ready for discovery. Watch and read about it here:

Michael Wolff Sues Melania Trump After Threat Over Epstein Reporting: ‘Someone Had to Do It’

The veteran journalist’s lawsuit against the First Lady could open the door to new revelations about Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein and marks a major stand for press freedom.

I’ll say it straight: It is unbecoming, undignified, cowardly, and shameful for a institution as revered and respected as the University of Virginia to grant an audience in 2025 to those who are committed to destroying science, free thought, human rights, and the rule of law.

Craziest inmate running the asylum, rabid fox guarding the henhouse: a year before inflection-point midterms, a MAGA 2020 conspiracy nut is the Department of Homeland Security’s new deputy assistant secretary for election integrity.

Wondering: % of D.C. election deniers sincerely deluded vs lying?

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

If you can't imagine how to make "Trump is literally bulldozing the White House" a message that is memorable to normie voters, maybe it's time to give up work in politics and pursue another field.

“The president demolished the White House.”

“The president politicized the FBI and DOJ to go after his opponents.”

“The president is why life is more expensive today.”

“The president was besties with Epstein.”

Messaging isn’t hard and makes you wonder why Dems aren’t saying this every day.

When a sitting president releases a video of himself defecating on the American people, that’s not “satire.” It’s a public humiliation fantasy and an erotic performance of dominance.

In the midst of a government shutdown, and in the face of fundamental challenges to the rule of law and to democratic accountability, the House of Representatives--the people's house, the heart of our democratic republic--hasn't cast a vote since Sep. 19. An extraordinary failure of responsibility.

Imagine there was a chemical spill which caused all adolescent boys to stop maturing emotionally at around age 12.

Now imagine what the world would look like a decade or so later.

We’re living in a partial version of that. It explains so much of what’s happening.

Trump's outrageous destruction of the White House will go down in infamy.

He's an anti-American president who has profaned the people's house.

Here's how you know that this hurts Trump's approval rating: Fox is desperately trying to cover it up. Watch this video.

Thanks to a bunch of wealthy fascists and fascist enablers, *2 million* Pennsylvania residents are officially losing their SNAP benefits next month. That includes 500,000 Philadelphians—1 in 3 residents. The GOP fiddles while our people starve

A thing stuck in my brain: someone is going to claim, true or not, that this demolition was done in a way that it compromised the structure of the whole building, and they're going to tear it all down.

It's not like anyone's stopped them so far.

It’s admittedly far from the point, but the only thought I keep having about this is the debate about Confederate monuments is absolutely over now. All of them. Gone. Not moved. Gone. Melted and made into park benches. Fuck all their whining. We get to do that now.

Corey Rayburn Yung @coreyryung.bsky.social · 5h

There is no difference between Trump destroying the East Wing and using a wrecking ball on the Washington Monument or Smithsonian. Just because he (temporarily) lives there doesn't give him the right to demolish the White House without Congressional approval.

I just think it’s neat that you can post racist, fascist shit on social media in Silicon Valley and keep your job—while posting anti-Trump stuff is the kind of thing that’ll get you walked out the door. That would be too divisive!

Not a basketball court or a bowling alley.

Republicans sound ridiculous making that comparison.

This isn’t an “upgrade” to the White House, it’s a monument to himself. Trump has no intention of ever leaving — he’s building his own palace and tearing down the entire East Wing to make it happen.

I know no one has the staff anymore but I wish a news org would track down the people who yelled about this and get them on the record about the demolition.

I remember Fox News spending days on the scandal that was Michelle Obama’s modest little veggie garden. It was discussed and berated non-stop with the general theme being ‘how dare she desecrate those hallowed grounds.
