Epstein Files! Let’s hear it for “Transparency!” First, we had Hegseth change the Department of Defense to Department of War. Now, the Republicans want to change the GOP to stand for Guard Our Pedophiles. At least this new GOP is—as they say—being fully transparent.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

Photos of Trump falling fast asleep during yesterday's Oval Office meeting. The media narrative for four years was that Biden was too old to do the job and now Trump is literally passing out behind his desk but we hear nothing about that.

...Trump's itch to go into Venezuela (drugs) and Nigeria (christians) is the Trump administration's YELLOW CAKE argument? Both countries are the top oil-producers in those two continents. Anyone remember Dick Cheney's public remarks about the oil in Iraq to be "saved" from muslim fanaticism???

Hegseth's extra-judicial killings--with no naval interdiction and no disclosure of evidence--follows the same path taken by Duterte, the ex-Philippine president. Duterte now faces World court justice. Is Hegseth heading down that same path--when Trump is not around to shield him?

Pritzker and many others are right to point out Trump's unhinged behavior and likelihood of dementia. But we must go further -- and recognize that Trump's cognitive failures are opening huge doors for the most nefarious plundering of Project 2025, S. Miller's fascism, crony corporate graft.
