Here’s a treat for Mets fans, and sports fans in general. Most team owners are fascists, as are corporate entertainment network owners you pay for the privilege of being a fan.
The Mets owner’s project with Hard Rock Casino is among the three proposals approved for gaming—with President Donald Trump’s company expected to receive a $115 million windfall from one of the casinos.

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care.

The time to demand Bondi’s resignation or impeachment is NOW. Press them hard, put them on the defensive, and make this a key issue in the midterms.

It highlights everything wrong with the GOP — cult like loyalty to Trump, complete lawlessness, elite entitlement, etc.
#EpsteinCoverup is so blatantly hamfisted, it's political malpractice if Dems don't attack full bore: Impeach Bondi as the means to make it a defining issue next year in run-up to midterms.
Removing this obviously distributed-a-billion-times photo of Trump w/Melania, Epstein, & Maxwell from the DOJ release of files only points out the FBI team's foolish, slapdash attempt to cover up *any existence* of the adjudicated sexual assaulter FOTUS in them.

One of my greatest worries about climate was “countries will not trust each other enough to do this” but that’s actually become somewhat moot as renewables have become way preferable for many growing countries precisely /because/ they do not trust temperamental petrostates.

At least 20 people who have received clemency from President Trump so far this year were also forgiven of financial penalties totaling tens of millions.

Some of these offenders owed money to victims of fraud. Now they won't get their money back.

As new Epstein files are released, keep in mind that in his first term, Trump ate, flushed, and stole documents, and his Chief of Staff burned them in the White House fireplace.
