re: So-called 1776 checks:
Comes from a $2.9 billion supplement to basic allowance for housing — to help them afford rent amid wild inflation (which still won't cover it.)

Trump's "Epstein files" "release" has the same energy as when he stood next to folders of blank paper and said it was his "business divestiture" plan

Most people thankfully don't have much experience w either, so the distinction seems trivial, but it truly is more dangerous--FTD outcomes are terrifying at a presidential level of power and lack of external inhibition.

You deserve the facts, not conjecture. Alzheimer's diminishes a person. Trump's not diminishing, he's escalating, and you need to know the frightening reason why.

I guess the billionaires and the billionaires dinner all thought Epstein was a victim of a witch hunt.
Because otherwise you’d have to admit you were having dinner with Epstein.

The sharp-eyed BuzzFeed reporters even found Jeffrey Epstein in the background of one of the photos. Brockman tried to keep Epstein out of photos, but he missed this one. All of the Silicon Valley luminaries at this event were knowingly, willingly, dining with a convicted child sex trafficker. 7/

“The fact that the government is not releasing all information only reaffirms the need for FOIA litigation. There is absolutely no reason that the Dept. of Justice has not reviewed this material for release in the last 18 years”

Hey! Remember when Barr (Bondi) withheld the Mueller (Epstein) documents for weeks so he (she) could mischaracterize what was in the Mueller (Epstein) Report and spin the findings for three weeks and then over-redact them? I sure do!

Trump's deal to sell TikTok won't just enrich his billionaire pal Larry Ellison.
It also gives UAE investment firm MGX — a key business partner of the Trump family's crypto company — a major ownership stake in TikTok.
Everything is for sale.

Wealthy philanthropy is a $ laundering operation. It was then; it is now. It aims to deflect criticism & burnish reputation for a VERY small price, instead of paying workers a living wage & paying taxes. Still doing it. 1/2
