This is the first plausible explanation for what Putin has on Trump that I've seen in 10 years.
Boy do I wish I could have a chat with all the naysayers when I posited that Epstein was a dirt factory for Putin. How many times have we asked "what does Putin have on Trump?" www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
Jeffrey Epstein claims he gave Russians insight into Trump
Newly released emails show the late convicted sex offender’s extensive network of foreign contacts, whom he corresponded with about Trump’s policy decisions.

Don’t let up.
"House Democrats on Wednesday released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that President Trump had “spent hours at my house” with one of Epstein’s victims, among other messages that suggested that the convicted sex offender believed Mr. Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged."

Maria Corina Machado from Venezuela awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for standing up for democracy. Brava. If there’s an opposite to what Trump has done, she embodies it. But more than an anti-Trump, she is spectacular in her own right.

They didn’t vote for Trump to raise wages or expand healthcare or improve the standard of living in this country. They voted for him so that they could dunk on their enemies online.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Some much needed clarity.
Jimmy Kimmel did not lie.
And he did not disparage Charlie Kirk or take joy in his death.
He mentioned that Republicans were scrambling to show the shooter wasn’t one of them.
Which was true.
He didn’t say the shooter WAS one of them, just that they were trying to prove otherwise.

So can we please stop tiptoeing and call it what it is? We are now a fascist government. Maybe we will be different in the future, but we are here now, by all metrics.
This may be remembered as the week Trump’s campaign against the “deep state” kicked into high gear, @shaneharris.bsky.social reports. Intelligence professionals he spoke with told him something fundamental had shifted in their historically apolitical work.
The Bolton Raid Feels Like a Warning
In just one week, the administration has targeted dozens of its perceived critics, leaving national security officials angry and afraid.
