A lot of people have helped Trump cover up his involvement with Epstein. They need to think very carefully about their choices going forward. It's one thing to cheer on his ballroom or root for DOGE. Running interference for pedophiles is something the history books won’t forget.
EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: Newly released emails show Jeffrey Epstein told Ghislaine Maxwell that Donald Trump “spent hours at my house,” “knew about the girls,” and “that dog that hasn’t barked is trump.”

Oddly specific example about a transaction that avoids "know your customer" bank rules. Hypothetical or disclosure?
Eric Trump: "You can send $500 million worth of bitcoin on a Sunday night at 11pm while having a glass of wine with your wife for virtually zero fees."

- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."

Many possibilities are on the table, including that this conspiracy theory was seeded to muddy the waters around an eventual revelation such as the emails that were just released. Trump promoted Q from the jump.
I spoke to QAnon believers who told me that Trump was going to root out the global pedophile cabal, who were in league with big Democrats like Hillary Clinton. I'm not sure how they're going to be able to reconcile their beliefs with what we've learned.

I've learned it's better not to respond to every take I think it's wrong or that pisses me off, but damn it's tempting sometimes. I don't think people will be doing this social media thing in another 20 years. Something else will come along that maybe involves less yelling at strangers.

Affordability is how consultant types talk about it, because it's malleable. What people heard over and over in NYC were slogans communicating actual policies. Freeze the rent, etc.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Seems like decent odds that MAGA keyboard forces will see this propaganda and retruth it into Trump's consciousness. Also possible that by the time that happens he will have totally forgotten who Charlie Kirk was.
A viral online video, which claims to show "Ukrainian soldiers" threaten to kill Charlie Kirk's wife Erika Kirk, is fake.
Not only do the "soldiers" in the clip speak Ukrainian with a notably strong Russian accent, but it has hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign known as Storm-1516.

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

Sorry, but a lack of support for autonomous vehicles is not among Sec Pete's biggest missed opportunities at USDOT.
For instance:
🔹 Failure to stop Tesla from lying about Autopilot, FSD, etc
🔹 Failure to curb car bloat
🔹 Continuing to spend fed $$ on highway expansions that won't fix congestion
