I’m skeptical about that letter Epstein supposedly attempted to send to Larry Nasser, and I’m worried that if it turns out to be fake, it’ll be used to discredit + undermine otherwise credible evidence. Can we all pump the brakes on it until it’s verified by a handwriting expert?

It's not going to happen of course, but tonight is another Goldwater-Rhodes moment. Has a single journalist even bothered to try & track down Speaker Johnson or Senate Majority Leader Thune & ask them why they're not doing their damn jobs or upholding their damn oaths while the Constitution burns?
On a daily basis now:
Today is the Goldwater-Rhodes moment. Alas, there appears to be no one left in the Republican Party who cares about the law, Constitution, national security, or our international credibility. And this is not a problem, again, that Democrats can solve by themselves.

I can't tell if they're racing to get ahead of the Epstein Files, or racing to get ahead of a tariff-driven economic crash, or racing to get ahead of Trump's health issues, or all of the above.
Is Trump's Declining Health Driving the MAGA Rush to Autocracy?
Donald Trump is an aging, criminal vulgarian with cankles and a troublesome wound he's trying to hide on his right forehand. The MAGA ramp-up on fascism could be a sign their King is ailing.

I can't shake the feeling that we are at a very unpleasant turning point where a lot of the Trump administration members are starting to get their bearings and realize just what an impossible position they have put themselves in.
There isn't a clear next phase of this. And he will die before them.

A rambling and incoherent Trump wants to turn DC into his personal police state despite a 30-year low in crime.
He's a pathetic wannabe dictator who wants to distract you from his connection to the Epstein files, skyrocketing costs, and his weak job numbers.
Don't let him.

Good morning. Trump is protecting Epstein files. The confederacy lost and they were traitors, mRNA vaccines are the future, cops shouldn’t wear masks, Trump cut taxes for the rich and ripped benefits from the poor.

People just don’t get it. If trump was really angry at Putin and wanted to sanction Russia, he could do that right now. He has that power. Yet time and again he delays, and says he will do it in “weeks”.
The only rational conclusion is that he doesn’t want to sanction Putin.

Been reading about the rise of Nazism. So many entities - businesses, right-wing parties, trade unions - struck deals with Hitler after he became chancellor, where he promised to preserve elements of the old system. Then months later he invariably broke them and jailed or killed those people.

Exactly. Once they admit he’s done one bad thing, there can be no stopping point, as he’s a bottomless pit of moral depravity. And once they step on that slippery slope, they can’t escape their own culpability. So instead they look away, and lie to others—and to themselves.

For 50 years GOP has employed 3 big scams:
*deficits pose dire threat only when Dem is in WH
*tax cuts for rich pay for themselves
*safety net cuts needed to purge welfare cheats
w/this bill, Trump's "working class GOP" is supercharging all three
