Finally! Too bad the East Wing was torn down before SCOTUS could act. The suit filed by the Nat'l Trust for Historic Preservation accuses the gov't of >$10B in violations of federal environmental, architectural heritage, & historic preservation laws.

Epstein was not only a pedophile but a traitor as well.
One of my biggest takeaways from today's Epstein file dive (so far) is that every single thing we suspected about Trump is true, and Epstein is at the heart of all of it.

Because "affordability' is a "Democrat hoax".
The Trump administration reached trade deals with Guatemala and Ecuador, hoping the agreements would lower prices for Americans.

There are four leaks to plug for Trump: the survivors, Ghislaine Maxwell, the Epstein Estate, and the 1000+ FBI and DoJ employees he locked in a building and forced to remove his name from the files.
Good luck, asshole.

Exactly.
There needs to be a wholesale primarying of every Dem that votes for this. They are part of the problem.

I see nothing in here that would require the White House to actually spend any available funds, prevent rescissions or withholding of payments, or do anything to change what has become an unsettling status quo in this calendar year.

The silence of congressional Republicans to all the Trump corruption - from his disgusting pardons, to the UAE crypto money, to the Qatari jet, and the ballroom, should be used against all of them in midterms along with their silence on tariffs which has made things unaffordable.

At this point, if you're interviewing a Republican about the president's latest transgression and you *don't* have the video or post or whatever cued up and ready to show them when they pretend they haven't seen it yet -- I'm just going to assume you're in on the con yourself.

But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it.
Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

For 26 but especially 2028 it's time for Democrats to make clear that the current Supreme Court will have to be reformed (expanded in number, reformed in structure) to allow popular govt to continue in the United States. Not so much a litmus test as precondition for any other promise to be credible.

This should go without saying, but Trump is not opposed to political violence. He’s opposed to violence against his political allies.
He is either silent about, or approving of, violence against his political enemies.

We are fast approaching the moment Trump discovers this thing called "oxygen" that "things" need to breathe. Yes, he would say "things".
Trump: "I think we may have learned something, because when [immigrants] come here and there's nobody who can do what they're supposed to be doing and they bring people, those people could teach our people...Something very interesting could come out of that."

Q: "Do you have plans for Chicago this week?"
