With so many avenues of legal accountability for #Trump closing, I’ve never seen so many calls on social media for #leaks. If you have natsec or intel info to disclose, I can help you do it safely. Always pro bono.

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

How have only Epstein and Maxwell been prosecuted for the biggest human trafficking scheme in modern U.S. history?
The answer is pretty simple: Pam Bondi knows she can’t go after Epstein’s co-conspirators because they possess damning information on Donald Trump.

The DOJ identified at least 10 co-conspirators who worked with Epstein and Maxwell. It’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Epstein and Maxwell were engaged in organized crime, yet NO ONE ELSE involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring has faced criminal charges. Why?
