I wish I lived in a country where our elected officials in Congress had at least half the balls of E. Jean Carroll, Stormy Daniels, Christine Blasey Ford, Anita Hill, or the Epstein survivors.

The Trump administration continues on its path to destroying everything. Its latest decision approves a highway corridor running through Utah’s Red Cliffs National Conservation Area after the Bureau of Land Management reversed a 2024 ruling that had denied the route.

In the age of disinformation, journalism has two choices.

Either fight back with the fury of a thousand suns, or…

Become a toothless vassal to this fascist administration and the oligarchs

This statement from our government is deeply disturbing. Homan said 158 people were arrested during the protests and added, “I said if the hateful rhetoric did not stop, there would be bloodshed and there was.”

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche needs to resign.

He got the law wrong about patronizing sex parties with alleged child trafficking. He failed to redact names of victims & pictures of children. AND he moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum-security prison & got her a puppy.

The messaging is already starting for whatever evidence Tulsi Gabbard is about to fabricate. REMEMBER: Every person in the Trump administration 1.0 said there was NO outcome determinative FOREIGN ELECTION INTERFERENCE in 2020.
Sen. Tuberville: "We gotta get rid of these voting machines. There's a half dozen people here in the House and Senate that did not get elected. It was all bogus. We've seen the evidence."

It happened so fast it made everyone's head spin in the legal profession—and no doubt caused the panic that led other firms to capitulate.

It never really made sense.
Paul Weiss was one of the first major law firms to bend the knee to Trump.

And, yup, connected to Epstein.

Between this and an Iranian gunships trying to seize a US tanker, I think that answers the question of whether or not we’re going to attack Iran.
