I've learned and changed my mind about certain things that I've read on social media but never from people who choose insult as persuasion. I cling to the possibility that I could be wrong.

It’s been a while since I wrote about conspiracy theories but since Cenk Uygur took the Epstein drop and used it to justify becoming a 9/11 truther, I had to. The last two weeks saw the resurgence of Wayfair & Pizzagate— and those theories aren’t travelling as QAnon anymore, they’re everywhere.

I truly feel sorry for every American smart enough to realize that this makes the United States look like the dumbest nation on the planet.
DOOCY: On Prince Andrew, do you think American associates of Jeffrey Epstein will wind up in handcuffs too?
TRUMP: I'm the expert in a way because I've been totally exonerated. That's very nice. I can actually speak about it very nicely. I think it's a shame. I did nothing.

I am proud to announce that I have secured over $13 million in federal funding for North Texas in the FY26 funding package.
These dollars are coming straight to TX-30 to strengthen public safety, upgrade water systems, modernize transit, and invest in parks and community spaces across our district.

To be perfectly clear, he is addressing a gathering of leaders that is essentially the Hall of Fame of global kleptocrats, for whom he has already set a table ante of $1 billion to play.
Trump: "This building was built for peace. Nobody knew what to name it, and then Marco named it after me. I had nothing to do with it. I swear. They said, 'There's a surprise coming.' I thought they were gonna give me a lot of money or something. Maybe cash. Can always use some extra cash."
