How long will it take MAGA DOJ to understand that there are consequences to not telling the truth? Judges may have to educate them. Then they’ll counter-attack with threats; then not investigate orchestration of the threats. Because it comes back to MAGA.

The key question about Trump/Epstein is asked here: “what led to the dissolution of the [Trump/Epstein] relationship?” Said another way, “what did Trump know and when did he know it?” What was enough for Trump to dump his “best friend”? youtu.be/5C77hTOTDQE?...

Trump’s fossil fuel corruption spree can’t stop the inevitable move to cleaner, less expensive energy: “Through November, 92% of new power capacity added to the grid in 2025 came in the form of solar, wind, or storage.” www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...
Chart: Clean energy remains dominant in the US — despite Trump
Trump spent much of 2025 boosting fossil fuels and blocking renewables, but 92% of new power additions through November were solar, wind, or batteries.

Against this pattern of threats, MAGA DOJ won't say it will investigate patterns of threats, and who's behind them.

Why won't they?
Judges who ruled against Trump say harassment and threats have changed their lives
More than 100 pizzas were delivered to the homes of judges and their families this year, some with signs of foreign involvement. Judges say the message is clear: We know where you live.

Connect the dots.

MAGA is pulling out all the stops to intimidate Judge Boasberg for looking into Bove contempt of court, which should disqualify him.

Two Trump judges delayed the contempt hearing long enough for Bove to get confirmed by obsequious Senate.

Just a coincidence, I’m sure.

Could it be more obvious that Trump is corruptly paying off his big fossil fuel donors at the public’s expense?

Squelching clean energy does the same, moving the grid to higher-cost fossil fuel plants.

Try it: COR-RUP-TION.

Easy word, and accurate.

When a paper is owned by billionaires does it become impossible to utter the word “corruption”?

Seriously, could it be more obvious? You think this is a policy dispute?

Maybe it gives them too much credit but sometimes I think making a dramatic show of the censorship is the point, nothing could please Trump more.

If Trump supposedly “kicked Epstein out of his club for being a creep,” the question then becomes, ‘what did he know, and how did he know it?’

So what did Trump know? And when and how did he know it?

Solar overtakes coal even in Texas, and the trajectories are clear. Trump can flack all he wants for his fossil fuel donors, but markets move inexorably toward clean energy.

A THIRD AG James “no true bill” by DOJ, with failed attempt to keep secret, is full gangster gong show.
I can’t recall a single time as U.S. Attorney when I got a “no true bill” from a grand jury. Nearly unheard of. They got two, back-to-back in the same case. Whiff of “vindictiveness,” maybe?
