Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.
Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.
It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

The end of NATO is exactly what Putin has been scheming for in first grooming Trump to run for president and then getting him elected.

As long as it’s not released, he can keep using the list as blackmail. Children were their tool but the overall business model was blackmail.

Meanwhile, Trump is building a $B bunker under a “ballroom”, at the Whitehouse, which likely isn’t suitably secure for subsequent administrations. Trump hasn’t asked permission or for design input from qualified professionals, so his addition will be DIY quality, and will need to be torn-down.
Something that has been rattling me all morning is temporary situation room at Magalago.
They were just using curtains and using X social media.
They weren’t even using a SCIF.
I’m literally shaking my head with disbelief. How dangerous is this.

Whatever the truth is, it is far more embarrassing than explaining his hand necrosis by claiming it is merely the result of the 78yo president with dementia symptoms self-administering drugs.
Trump takes four times the recommended dose of aspirin for cardiac prevention. Even low-dose aspirin is no longer recommended for people over 60 who don't have heart disease.
Is Trump taking too much aspirin? Here's what experts say

Amazing to now be alive in a world where the vice president of the U.S. is publicly saying there's a chance France and the UK would nuke the U.S. that the U.S. must take seriously and that it should act accordingly and intervene in their affairs

Hidden lede is that Friday’s “complete release” of the Epstein files represents close to 0% of the total.
BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.
