Sen. Jeff Merkley has been speaking on the Senate floor since 6:20pm last night — protesting Trump and warning that "tyranny has arrived."

"Trump is shredding our Constitution. Is it okay for masked federal agents to arrest people off the street because of their skin color … Not in a free America."

“.. they are just grabbing people, putting them in cuffs,” said Kaden Cummings, 23, who witnessed the arrests. “Nobody’s identifying themselves .. There’s no due process .. It’s just straight to the back of a van if you’re African on Canal.”

Pretty clear that Trump is building a private club at the White House, a northern Mar-a-Lago, where the price of admission will be bribes in the tens of millions of dollars.

“The good news is this means that the next Democratic inhabitant of the White House can demolish the Trump Presidential Palace Ballroom and Casino and restore the East Wing and the rest of the White House grounds to their pre-Trump state.”

He says it's not defamatory **of Melania** that [Epstein claimed] Trump liked to fuck his friends' wives.
. Statement 5: "In explosive tapes recorded by Wolff, Epstein alleged that Trumpliked to 'f-his friend's wives andfirst slept with Melania on his 'Lolita Express.'"" Dispositive Defects in the Claim:(i) This statement is true.(ii) Mrs. Trump cannot prove it to be false as she must.(iii) Mrs. Trump cannot prove actual malice as to that statement - i.e., she cannotprove with clear and convincing evidence that Mr. Wolff did not believe that statement to betrue.(iv) It is not defamatory of Mrs. Trump to say that Mr. Trump liked to 'f- his friend'swives." That is a statement about Mr. Trump, not about Mrs. Trump, and Mr. Trump is libelproof on that issue.(v) It is not defamatory of Mrs. Trump, then a single woman, to sleep with someone.That it was on Epstein's jet does not change that.(vi) The statement is read out of its context in the Article, which in context shows thatit is raising legitimate questions and issues of opinion that are properly and fairly raised.9

Via @jayshams.bsky.social, Michael Wolff is suing Melania for SLAPP and demanding subpoenas, including of Trump.

www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
10. By her Threat Letter and this responsive Declaratory Action and related Anti-SLAPPDeclaratory Action, Mrs. Trump has given Wolff subpoena power which he intends toexercise fully and expeditiously. Since the statements at issue pertain to matters that largelyoccurred here in the NewYork City this action will call for and permit subpoenas to numerouswitnesses, most of them in NewYork. Subpoenas will go to those who frequented or who werepart of Epstein's circle, including Mr. Trump.

Your tax dollars should be used to run a government that improves your life. Instead, Trump is using them to build the Epstein Ballroom.
