This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release.

AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

I think this is a great idea! It could help people realize that they actually don't give a shit about Facebook (and haven't for years) and finally walk away.

"In the criminal justice system, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In Washington DC, the dedicated Trump administration operatives who help cover up his vicious sex crimes are members of an elite squad known as the Special MAGA Propaganda Unit. These are their stories."

I just don't understand why those legal missteps won't quit dogging the poor, helpless JD.

On a related note, did we stop teaching journalists to avoid passive voice? It's use when talking about this admin is rampant to the point that I think it's a fully intentional choice.
“.. In years past, it was relatively rare for a federal court to question the Justice Department's competency or good faith. But such questions are becoming more common, thanks to a growing pattern of legal missteps that have dogged the department ..”

BREAKING on MS NOW:

Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says:

"Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

Trump is often discussed as one of the worst presidents in modern American history, but it’s important to remember that such a categorization is far too narrow.

Donald J. Trump is one of the worst people in modern American history.

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

I knew his response to this was going to be one of the worst things he ever posted and somehow, it was even worse than I imagined it could be.
this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted

Original photograph was a depiction of construction workers—blue collar people who built New York City but were rarely acknowledged & were certainly underpaid—while this one is a depiction of well-known billionaires whose AI empires are built on stealing the intellectual property of everyone else.
This...looks terrible? Is the magazine making some point about what AI still can't do, because otherwise, I don't get why you'd go out with something that looks like it was put together with safety scissors and Elmer's Glue.

“You’re the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place. A terrible reporter.”

Trump again attacks a Black female reporter, ABC’s Rachel Scott, for asking about releasing the full boat strike video - which he said he would do 5 days ago

And the other journalists stay silent🐔

Trump's speech about the shooting in DC veered into him attacking the Somali community in Minnesota, which of course had nothing to do with the shooting. Gives away his bigoted game.
