The Politician had fooled us. All of us. He had a glass eye. And another. Both eyes, glass. He sees things not as we do, but as a bat. Perhaps it’s why he only eats what bats eat. Why he spits up grass and seeds of berries, foraged by that highway paved with arsenic and gold and leading to my soul.

Epstein accused Trump of wrongdoing
Kate Bolduan: "The president has not been accused of any crimes or wrongdoing as it relates to Jeffrey Epstein or these files even with these emails being released. That's one thing we need to make clear. There's no accusations of any wrongdoing so far."

If there’s “nothing to hide,” as Trump is now saying, why doesn’t he just tell Bondi to release the Epstein files? Why release them through the House?
Breaking News: President Trump urged House Republicans to back a measure to release the Epstein files, a sharp reversal from his previous stance.

Another Trump appointee tied to Epstein: Bill Pulte. His dad bid against Trump & Epstein on a mansion that Trump sold to a Russian oligarch. Ruined Trump’s friendship with Epstein. Pulte’s dad later developed a mansion on that property, which sold for $122M in 2022

It appears that this tweet from Ed Martin’s account has now been deleted.
Ed Martin, using his official DOJ account, is now promoting an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory accusing a former Capitol Police officer of planting pipe bombs on J6.
Just yesterday, a post from the same account claimed it was “false” that the DOJ had identified Shauni Kerkhoff as the suspect.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

This is the "felony footlong" patch that the defense displayed in closing arguments in the sandwich guy trial, but it was never introduced in evidence, so jurors were told to disregard.

A thing you're not seeing if you haven't checked Twitter in the last week is all the political betting markets (Polymarket, Kalshi) are actively caping for Cuomo and spreading Zohran conspiracies on there. Usually this would be a cause for some sort of regulatory oversight but that no longer exists.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

This list of fears of Democratic rule is a reminder that today, in the actual world we live in, the filibuster is the last and only excuse Republicans have for not rubber-stamping every crazy thing *Trump* wants — that’s Johnson’s real fear about removing it
Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"

The New York Times wrote strongly about the MAGA threat in an editorial last week. It needs to make the same points in its news pages. It's not an opinion that Trump is building a dictatorship. It's apparent to anyone who is paying attention, and we need more people to pay attention. 🧵 3/3
