Whether they realize it or not, all these CEOs getting in bed with Trump for short-term benefit to exploit his transactional corruption are self-inflicting long-term reputational damage to themselves personally and their brands. The stink of Trump never washes off.

Hey Megyn Kelly,
14-year-old Eloise would like a word:
“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”
Sound up! 🔥🔊

IF you didn’t vote or cast your ballot for anyone other than Kamala Harris,
THEN you contributed to the re-election of a racist criminal and the demise of the U.S.
Simple as that. We have binary system, a zero sum game. Your vote or abstention either helped or hurt BOTH candidates.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

If you’re willing to say, out loud, that it’s “worse” to rape a 5 year old than a 14 year old, this was never about protecting kids.

Donald Trump is now promising a big, dramatic “investigation” into Jeffrey Epstein’s network — you know, the same Jeffrey Epstein who died in federal custody on Trump’s watch. Not on the list to be investigated: Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, Alan Dershowitz, Elon Musk, et al.

This may be Trump's perfect social media post. A true work of art. He confirms:
✅He personally directs criminal investigations.
✅He is targeting opponents.
✅Epstein "records" exist and he knows the contents.
Bonus points for connecting it to investigation of his fondness for Putin.👀

Trump seems incapable of understanding voters who don't engage in hero worship. I don't care how many Democrats or donors or people whose politics align with mine are in the Epstein files. Out them all. Hold them all accountable. The "People on your side are gonna look bad!" threat is meaningless.

Megyn appears to be at the “bargaining” stage…
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Kelly’s defense of Epstein’s behavior gets even worse if you watch the whole thing.
First she starts by saying that according to her friend, Epstein likes “the barely legal” types, like girls who are 14 or 15 “but could pass for younger,” but ends by saying “there’s a difference between 15 and 5.”

These Epstein emails make at least one thing abundantly clear:
The rumors that Trump “kicked Epstein out of Mar a Lago and cut ties with him” were bullshit.

I think it’s time we start placing over/under bets on how many business tycoons, finance bros, and tech and media moguls are implicated in these files.

If Trump has nothing to hide, he'd tell Pam Bondi to release the Epstein Files like they all promised.
Mike Johnson would have sworn in Adelita Grijalva yesterday.
Ghislaine Maxwell would be sent back to Florida prison instead of being pampered in Club Fed in Texas.
And...
He's guilty as hell.
