Gotta hand it to Leavitt. She came up with the funniest possible response to reports of Trump officials desperately trying to kill the discharge petition on the Epstein files. It's a show of transparency that their efforts to stop the release will not be detailed to you.
President Trump and other administration officials reached out to key Republicans who have signed on to an effort to force a vote on releasing files about Jeffrey Epstein in the hours before the push was set to succeed on Wednesday. CNN reported that Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, and FBI Director Kash Patel planned to meet with Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.). Trump also called Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) on Wednesday morning, but she missed his call and had been playing phone tag with him as of early Wednesday afternoon, a source told The Hill, adding that there had not been outreach from White House staff. “Doesn’t it show transparency that members of the Trump administration are willing to brief members of Congress whenever they please?” Leavitt said. “Doesn’t that show the level of transparency when we are willing to sit down with members of Congress and address their concerns?” she continued, adding that she would not detail “conversations that took place in the Situation Room.”

I'm a guy that's always sticking up for establishment Democrats: always seeing things their way. And I am fucking livid at this concession.
Voters came through for you in a big way last week, Democrats. Don't you fucking dare throw that away.
Tim Kaine tweet that reads: My statement on the funding deal to reopen government, protect federal employees, and vote to protect health care. “I have long said that to earn my vote, we need to be on a path toward fixing Republicans’ health care mess and to protect the federal workforce. “This deal guarantees a vote to extend Affordable Care Act premium tax credits, which Republicans weren’t willing to do. Lawmakers know their constituents expect them to vote for it, and if they don’t, they could very well be replaced at the ballot box by someone who will. “This legislation will protect federal workers from baseless firings, reinstate those who have been wrongfully terminated during the shutdown, and ensure federal workers receive back pay, as required by a law I got passed in 2019. That’s a critical step that will help federal employees and all Americans who rely on government services. I’ll keep working towards a long-term government spending plan that includes critical priorities

The right-wing fuckwads are prepping the ground for tearing down the rest of the White House.
A Raheem Kassam post, quoting Cernovich. Cernovich says: During Trump's first term, I made several White House visits. My first impression was that it was a dump. That's what everyone said. It smelled like there was black mold in all of the walls. It had a stench. It looks cool from the outside, inside tho, nasty. Renovate it all. Raheem says: Mike is right, the inside of the WH is mostly dingy and has been in need of work for a very long time. It’s not even set up like the show the West Wing would have you believe. Besides some lovely historic rooms and tourist areas, it needs a lot of attention.

MAGA has a very bloodthirsty sense of humor. Trump joking about using Tomahawk missiles on political opposition. Hilarious!
A tweet from Eric Daugherty with a video of Trump talking. Tweet reads: 🚨 LMAO! President Trump is BY FAR the funniest president. Everybody is cracking up! To President Milei: "We have a LOT of tomahawk [missiles]! Do YOU need any tomahawks in Argentina? You need them for your opposition, I guess? I don't do that. I'm much nicer. But I think the Democrats would use them if they had the chance." 😭

"Isn’t it nice that people are coming from all over the world to be with us?"

He knows they've been ordered to attend, right?

Mr. Trump appeared unfamiliar with the meeting when he was asked about it during an Oval Office appearance on Thursday, but he quickly said it was good that Mr. Hegseth had organized it. “Let him be friendly with the generals and admirals from all over the world,” Mr. Trump said. “You act like this is a bad thing. Isn’t it nice that people are coming from all over the world to be with us?”

Is he working his way to the Epstein files alphabetically?
A "Truth" Social post from Donald Trump, 09/26/2025 that reads: I have been asked by many people about the life and times of Amelia Earhart, such an interesting story, and would I consider declassifying and releasing everything about her, in particular, her last, fatal flight! She was an Aviation Pioneer, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, and achieved many other Aviation “firsts.” She disappeared in the South Pacific while trying to become the first woman to fly around the World. Amelia made it almost three quarters around the World before she suddenly, and without notice, vanished, never to be seen again. Her disappearance, almost 90 years ago, has captivated millions. I am ordering my Administration to declassify and release all Government Records related to Amelia Earhart, her final trip, and everything else about her. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

There is a direct correlation between how embarrassing Trump's performance is and how lavishly the FOX News pundits lay out the extravagant praise. When I see them shoveling on the compliments, I know he must have really screwed the pooch.
