I hereby propose we rename them the Trump-Epstein Files.
The Epstein file is the only thing Trump has ever taken his name off of
🚨 "The Justice Department redacted the names and identifiers of victims. Fox News Digital has learned that the same redaction standards were applied to politically exposed individuals and government officials. "

WOW: Fox News reports that the DOJ used the same redaction standards for “politically exposed individuals and government officials” as it did for victims.

Really fascinating details from @taniel.bsky.social on redistricting and where it stands now.
I still hold that a new +5 GOP district based on 2024, actually could be +5 Dem district based in the current political climate and Donpedo's yuge unpopularity.

I looked at which party has gained what due to redistricting changes so far.
By one (crude) measurement, the GOP has inched ahead by 1 to 2 seats. (FL & VA could swing that in either direction.)
But looking at the full universe of rating changes this caused, one measure shows Dems inching ahead.

Remember, this is the gang who still believes a "sternly worded letter" will make the Trump regime fall in line.
You’d think the “legal options” would already have been vetted and prepped — for what was clearly going to happen, anyway.
Who is surprised Trump's DOJ isn't releasing all of its Epstein files, despite Congress overwhelmingly passing a bill (+ Trump signing it) requiring this by today?

Honestly surprised they haven't proposed just putting the ACA back in place with a new feature of free coverage/care for the rich and labeled it "Trumpcare."
You know, what Biden/Obama already did, just with Trump's trademark brand of shitty.

100,000‰. Anyone who hasn't already needs to consider it. Credit Unions are almost always the better choice with lower fees and better rates.

As white man who is not a CEO, president or elected official, am I failing?
85% of CEOs are white men.
All but one US President has been a white man.
65% of all elected offices are held by white men.
Roughly 30% of the population is white men.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS TOPIC EVEN???

I sez it's high time to capture us a bunch more Venezuelan tanker ships, fill them suckers full a beans and sends'em off to China!
Sorkin: Trump said that China was going to buy 12 million tons of soybeans by the end of the year. I’ve asked members of the administration: the end of the year is basically here—we’re about 15 days away. I think we’ve sold about 300,000 metric tons. So how do you get from 300,000 to 12 million?

WHERE'S MY PRESCRIPTION REBATE CHECK?
The Trump administration's War on Math continues unabated.
FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you
LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times
F: Not a 600% cut
L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

It's Kraft American slices, actually.
“For starters, the president claimed to have brought peace to the Middle East for the first time in “3,000 years.” It feels bizarre to even try to fact-check that, as it would be akin to fact-checking a president saying that the moon is made of Velveeta.”

The networks could say, "He tells lies that he has been told are lies, so we're not going to air his speeches live." By any journalistic standard that would be reasonable and easy to defend. The fact that they don't tells us where we are.

They will pick a handful of prominent targets to go after to send a message to the residtance and try to scare us all into behaving.
Aaron points this out further down but I want to underline it: SCOTUS already signaled it won’t be helping out with something like this during Trump’s first term in Maslenjak, and there are no signs they’ve changed their minds.
The Trump admin says it aims to file 100-200 denaturalization cases per month, a huge increase. But these cases are hard to file and win, and require a lot of DOJ resources, and the DOJ is incredibly stretched thin already. So we’ll see; I have serious doubts about their ability to do this.

If you're going to go after Caesar, you've got to make sure the rest of the Senate is picking up daggers too. There may be a few ready to go, but how do you know what else in the cabinet is same enough amid the circus of sycophancy.
feels stupid to say at this point but how the fuck isn't anyone invoking the 25th amendment.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

It's a ways off, but I really hope someone without Nazi tattoos is considering a primary challenge in Pennsylvania.
Fetterman expresses support for Trump's bonkers Truth Social post and aggression toward Venezuela: "It makes it that Iran is involved on that, and Russia is involved on that, and China as well too. That's sanctioned oil right now ... it makes a lot of sense."
