My guess: Trump’s sudden support to release the Epstein Filed is deflection, anticipating failure in the Senate. Blame it on them & claim he wanted transparency — except he could release today without any vote.

Trump has been soundly rejected by historic turnout for an off-year election. Now buckle up. Trump’s retribution & GOP election shenanigans will be in high gear.

What is unfolding in Sudan, where the armed group RSF has taken control of the key city of El Fasher, is "the sum of all our fears," says human rights investigator Nathaniel Raymond. "RSF is killing at a scale and a velocity that I haven’t seen since Rwanda."

It's another example of the president’s ongoing cognitive decline caught on video. Trump appeared to forget where he was going and left the Japanese Prime Minister behind as she watched him, clearly confused. trib.al/WPTM9IP

Trump has announced the U.S. will resume nuclear testing.

Straw poll: Los Angeles? Chicago? Portland?

Wonder what bothers Trump & Co most? That 7 million protested or that they did so without violence? It doesn’t fit their narrative. Not that it’ll stop their lies…

When you think about it, this week’s Tylenol press conference was this term’s bleach moment.

Trump with his tariffs is like a boy frying ants with a magnifying glass.

The GOP knows its BBB is wildly unpopular — so Medicaid & other critical safety net cuts are delayed until 2027 after the midterms.

“Let’s hold back the pain,” they reason, “until after the midterms. We can lie about how great this Golden Age will be until it's too late for them to see the light.”

The assassin in Minnesota masqueraded as a cop. ICE officers are conducting raids without identification and wearing masks like Klansman. How are we to know who’s real? Is the whole point to pave the way for vigilantes?
