Lutnick and Epstein were in business together, Epstein files show
Though the commerce secretary has called his interactions with Epstein as "limited," the two were in business together four years after Epstein's 2008 guilty plea.

Why did the racist head of The Racist Party post a racist meme on his racist website?

No one is sure, but here's one white man's opinion.

AOC on the Kennedy Center: The renaming is completely illegitimate. All they did was screw some nameplates onto the building. That’s coming right off. Enjoy your name on there for a year or two, but that’s getting ripped right out.

And actually, it's an even BIGGER disaster, as Analilia Mejia, the most progressive candidate in the race, may have stunned the field. I am shocked but not that shocked, because I called it today:

Republicans don't often win the popular vote when they become president...but the GOP then claims 'mandate'; whereas when Democrats win popular vote but lose the presidency, why then is that NOT a Democratic Party mandate?

If it was a staffer, it was someone who is very close to Trump. Someone he trusts enough to let him post in his name. Someone he knows extremely well and spends a lot of time with. Which shows yet again that the people Trump trusts the most are racists because that’s who he is.

Trump expands his power to hire/fire 50,000 federal workers
Trump campaigned in 2024 to strip job protections from feds deemed by the president's team to be 'influencing' government policy. His move is the biggest change to the rules in more than a century

Trump administration issues rule that makes it easier to fire federal workers
New rule would strip job safeguards for 50,000 federal employees and change how whistleblowers are protected

A few years ago, the IRS got additional funding. What happened? More audits of wealthy tax cheats and better customer service for everyone else.

Fast forward to now and the IRS is so understaffed and underfunded that it’s using HR employees to process tax returns.

Trump delivers for the oligarchs.
