Trump’s new “affordability” push is basically reversing the tariffs he said would never cause un-affordability.

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally.

So much like this is about to be recirculated, and aggregated, and it is going to be very, very ugly for Trump and the Rs:

"Is President Trump lying?"

Maria Farmer:

"Yes he's lying..... so Epstein escorts Trump into this other room and Trump utters under his breath, he mutters, 'Oh, I thought she was 16'"

People are starting to ask why Susan Collins thought a $500,000 payout to Republican senators was a good call when families are struggling.

Maine needed help, she delivered a payout to her friends instead.

Trump was credibility accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women. He said his celebrity allowed him to grab women by the genitals. A jury found he had jammed his fingers up a woman's vagina.

A little context for the WH's denials of any wrongdoing.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Republicans continue to hide the Jeffrey Epstein files.

But these extremists have zero interest in making healthcare affordable for everyday Americans.

Shameful.

This is why Dems should run on creating mechanisms of accountability especially on corruption.

Republicans are scrambling to cover up the Epstein file, but we say anyone involved in Epstein's billion-dollar child sex trafficking ring must be brought to justice—whether Republicans, Democrats or, yes, even presidents.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sending emails to her staff saying "please print" or Donald Trump sending letters to Jeffrey Epstein alluding to child rape, both candidates sent some questionable messages to people that they knew.

Neutrality and objectivity are not the same thing and are, in fact, often contradictory goals. The objective truth is often not neutral in its political implications, and it would be a useless exercise if it was.
Got turned down on a piece about ICE in Chicago for an international news org because they believed I couldn’t be objective about my neighbors getting kidnapped. And well, guilty as charged I guess.

Conservative Judge Resigns Rather Than Stay Silent On Trump’s Constitutional Assault
Reagan-appointed federal judge Mark Wolf has resigned from the bench in Massachusetts, and his explanation is blunt: he can no longer bear the ethical constraints that prevent judges from speaking out publicly while Trump dismantles the rule of law. This doesn't happen. Federal judges—especially Reagan appointees—don't quit to become activists. They stay in their robes and let careful rulings speak for themselves.

Are you against child groomers unless they have an R next to their names?

Does sexual violence still sicken you if the perpetrator helps you build a theocracy?

Are you for exposing human traffickers, unless they can supply you with Supreme Court seats?
