JP Morgan knew about Epstein's sex trafficking, but didn't report it so they could keep doing business with him.

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

Every single news story about Trump hosting MBS at the WH today should include the tremendously lucrative business deals the Saudis have done this year with Trump Org to enrich Trump and his family personally, which is the primary reason why this is happening.

Once again,Trump proves that moral clarity is optional if it conflicts with his personal or financial interests. Calling Jamal Khashoggi “extremely controversial” while defending the Saudi crown prince who ordered his brutal murder is not just wrong

📌NOTE: There's no newsroom guidance I'm aware of that says journalists have to just sit there and take it when an ill-bred slob, and convicted felon calls them "piggy" and shrugs off the brutal killing of one of their colleagues by simply saying, "things happen."

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

Despicable.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

My pitch at COP in Belem:

1. Trump doesn't speak for our country on climate; he's the agent of fossil fuel - indeed, the corrupt agent. He speaks for them, his big donors, not for Americans.

I have this crazy hope that one day Morning Joe will recognize that there are more Christians in the United States than evangelicals.

Occasionally, MJ does acknowledge that Catholics exist. But the rest of us?

This is a documented case of public man-made death. Why? Because a government dismantled oversight, purged experts, and ruled by decree, all things our assessment highlights.

A reminder that when Christian Nationalists in the Republican Party lecture you about the importance of "religious freedom," they are not talking about YOUR religion or YOUR freedom. They are talking about THEIR freedom to impose THEIR religion on you.

Wow, just WOW: A new WSJ analysis shows that Trump was mentioned in 1,670 out of the 2,300 email threads shared by the Epstein estate…👇

Or, in other words, 72.6% of the fucking time.
