Melania review: Shameless propaganda that could put you to sleep
If this supposed documentary weren’t about what it’s actually about, it could at times play as an unlikely meditation aid

Now you know why Melania chose her Director. She knew him from the Epstein Sex Trafficking ring.

Ah the Epstein files make an appearance in today's thread...

Did someone say Kompromat?

So Putin is all over the Epstein files. It would come as no surprise to me if the Epstein organization was a front for Russian covert activities to be able to blackmail American establishment figures.

Epstein survivor Lisa Phillips reacts to Todd Blanche: I’m actually shaking right now. I want to fucking cry. It makes me so sick. And he has a wedding ring on. Like, really—how does he go home to his wife. I’m looking at the files right now that shows names…

Goldman: They’re still covering up, because only half of the documents have been released.

I don’t understand why they get to decide—without explanation—why half of the material should be held back. Trump’s name is all over it. So now we know why there was such a cover-up…

The autopsy showed Mary Kennedy, then going through a messy divorce with estranged husband RFK Jr., had her fingers between her neck and the noose, as if having second thoughts.

MAJOR UPSET ALERT: Democrat Taylor Rehmet has just been projected the winner of the Texas SD9 special election — flipping a district that went Trump +17 and hasn’t elected a Democrat since 1991.

Trump personally endorsed Leigh Wambsganss and spent days hyping this race… and still lost.

There were two main stories. First, there was a great report (with link to download) released by CSIS which detailed just how the Russian military and economy is struggling. Second, there were numerous signs of Trump's desire to work with Putin, including family photos. Enjoy.

Hi everyone, just sent out my free weekend update. First a note of thanks--readers donated enough last week to Come Back Alive that the Ukrainians could have shot down up to 10 Russian attack drones terrorizing Ukrainian cities. That is amazing and worthy of note. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.
The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.

Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.

With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.

Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Congratulations to my friend and our newest State Senator from Tarrant County, Taylor Rehmet! I met Taylor years ago through labor organizing.

Don’t tell us what can’t be done in Texas. When we show up #TexasTough, we change the game. Today we proved what we’ve known all along: Texas is in play.

‼️‼️‼️‼️ Per reporters on scene, Leigh Wambsganss has shut down her party. She hasn't conceded to Taylor Rehmet yet, but apparently told supporters that “we’ll be back in November.”
Hard to overstate how big a deal a Rehmet win would be. Tarrant County is the epicenter of Christian nationalism in Texas, an incubator for far-right policies, and nexus of billionaire Tim Dunn's network, which is riding hard for Wambsganss. Rehmet almost entirely funded by donations of $100 or less
‼️‼️ Still a lot TBD, but Rehmet is leading early vote count by **13 POINTS** in a district that Trump won by 17 points. I'll be updating in this thread throughout the night.
