Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man

The headline is misleading. This is not a story about the National Archives. This is a story about records displayed and interpreted at the National Archives MUSEUM. The big question is, what is happening at the National Archives?

I interviewed Aftyn Behn, who is running in a special election in TN7 — if you know anyone in the district, please remind them to vote for Aftyn.

She has a real shot to flip the congressional seat. @aftynbehn.bsky.social

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.

Where is the MAHA outcry?

I just did 17 radio phone interviews to promote my new tour. Please, for the love of God go to kathygriffin.com and get tickets. It’s different material from my current YouTube special which is called “Kathy Griffin my life on the PTSD list”. The tour is called “new face new tour”. Do you love it?

@radiofreetom.bsky.social I have a hypothetical question but have no one other than you to ask. Do you think it would be feasible, in our time, to lay siege to 1600 PA ave?

Trump hosted a dinner last week for White House ballroom donors.

Then he went to Mar-a-Lago for a $1 million-per-person dinner benefiting his super PAC.

Last night, he treated big GOP donors to dinner on his new White House patio.

New developments in my 3 year Epstein investigation, this time regarding JP Morgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon. This is a long thread, but worth sticking around for.

When I first had the idea for Escape! I wanted it to be a ‘literary thriller,’ to have depth and humanity but also be fast-paced and fun. I worked so hard to create that propulsion, so I was honored—and relieved!—when Janelle Brown of all people gave me this incredible blurb!

I'm not sure Speaker Johnson can convince 300+ million Americans to give up all their health care simply to ensure that a few undocumented people don't slip through the cracks and get some medicine.
