It’s wild that you can just openly bribe the President of the United States with chunks of gold to get
whatever you want, it’s fine, you don’t have to hide it, just say “I am bribing the President with gold,” zero consequences.

The first part of this is about the Epstein stuff. The second part explains the split in the Republican party I wrote about earlier this week and brings the two together.

Trump Admin is planning to ask Congress to dramatically cut funding for transit as part of the 2026 infrastructure law.

The proposal would eliminate the transit account, which funds billions of dollars in capital expenses. It would also prevent states from “flexing” roads funds for transit.
POLITICO Pro: Trump administration proposals seek to eliminate transit funding
DOT recently sent two proposals to the White House budget office seeking to pare back transit money.

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

Epstein and Maxwell had over 1,000 victims per reports.

over ONE THOUSAND.

Think about that for a minute -- over one thousand girls raped and trafficked by these pedophiles.

And the pedophile predators who helped them.

This weekend marks the fourth anniversary of my father's death. He was a complicated guy, especially so during the last few years of his life. The thought of a fucking a.i. on my phone trying to capture his humor and complexity and, frankly, craziness, makes me feel ill. I'll stick with my memories.
For real, check this out. Evil.

The scale at which the President is profiting from his post is staggering. Perhaps past presidents and their self-dealing snuck out with a million or so — a briefcase full of cash. This time, it's billions, which you should visualize as a fleet of school buses filled with Benjamin Franklins.

With his boat taking on water, Trump is having to complain as much about Republicans (Paul, Massie, Greene, etc.) as he is Democrats.
