Perhaps networks and newspapers who have female reporters he’s insulted could simply refuse to give interviews to Republicans who don’t stand against this behavior. I realize this would mean no Lindsey Graham or Tom Cotton or Josh Hawley on the Sunday shows (but maybe their ratings would improve!)

It really is disgusting that Trump can insult, berate, single out, threaten, and demean female reporters on a daily basis for asking fair and legitimate questions and you can’t find a single Republican woman in Congress to say it is inappropriate behavior.

Something liberals should bear in mind: the maga conspiracists who fear an evil cabal doing evil things to them are only wrong in terms of the identities of those who constitute the evil cabal. Otherwise, they are right. There is a conspiracy against them, against all of us. And it's evil.

When you assemble a squad of thugs and tell them they're above the law, don't be shocked if they start behaving as if they're above the law.
An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say
"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

Meanwhile the President just yesterday said an assassinated journalist deserved it and celebrated his killer
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

One other thing I want people to remember is that, as GOP officials themselves have said today, the public outcry over the Epstein files is so great that anything less than a full release is going to result in immediate and profound blowback to the regime.

Every Trump-voting Evangelical who has complained about discrimination against Christians in this country has a moral, religious and civic duty to speak out against this. Immediately if not sooner.

Since January 2023, the New York Times has cited Rep. Ralph Norman, R-SC, in 78 stories. None mentioned that Norman secretly urged the Trump White House in 2021 to declare martial law – in effect, a military-backed coup. Norman wasn’t charged, but the NYT gave him a “pardon” anyway.

The Treasury Department has its own Epstein file containing thousands of bank records. My investigators reviewed a portion of those records last year. I've demanded the Secretary Bessent produce the file for further investigation. He has refused repeatedly.

What would those records help reveal? Where Epstein got his money. How he acquired and controlled his victims. Who he trafficked them to. What individuals and banks enabled the trafficking. Who else had control of Epstein’s accounts, and what crimes they committed.
