Half way through the Jack Smith transcript and it’s become abundantly clear why Jim Jordan didn’t want public testimony. Jordan spends a lot of time whining about the toll subpoenas, and Jack Smith shuts him down every time.

Trump announces he’s pulling the National Guard from Portland, LA, and Chicago but threatens that “We will come back, perhaps in a much different and stronger form, when crime begins to soar again - Only a question of time!”

In his veto letter, President Trump blamed the Miccosukee Tribe for having “actively sought to obstruct reasonable immigration policies that the American people decisively voted for when I was elected.”

"Marla Maples, Trump’s ex-wife, told Mar-a-Lago staff in the mid-90s that something was “wrong” and “off” about Epstein. She told Trump she was uneasy about Epstein’s presence and that she didn’t want to spend time with him—and didn’t want Trump to either."
Lots of damning info here
Read this:
Yesterday from WSJ (gift link):
"Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t just a frequent visitor to Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The club was also sending spa employees..to Epstein’s nearby mansion for massages, manicures and other spa services .."

So is Grenell just going to cry on social media every day because artists want nothing to do with his twisted MAGA perversion of the Kennedy Center? This seems like a great opportunity to showcase MAGA creative and artistic talent. I’m sure they will draw big patriotic crowds.

Louis (should have gone to DeJail) DeJoy left stinking time bombs that are being detonated within the USPS after his departure.

More of Trump's shithole legacy that needs to be erased (and which the Biden Administration should have cleaned up when it had the opportunity).

🙀
The USPS finalized a postmark date change that could upend mail voting for rural voters living over 50 miles from a regional processing facility. The initiative is part of a series of controversial reforms launched by Trump’s first postmaster general. https://bit.ly/4qAM6UU

Anyone who thinks the trans panic is about protecting women hasn't been paying attention.
My insurance company just sent me a letter saying they will stop covering two of my prescriptions because they are ‘not medically necessary’. Which ones?
1. My testosterone, because I am not a man
2. My menopause meds for hot flashes because, after all, women should just deal with it.

TIKTOKER SHOT BY ICE HAS INDICTMENT THROWN OUT

Carlitos Ricardo Parias was shot in the elbow by ICE during an immigration arrest in October.

A judge tossed the indictment after finding the government violated his constitutional rights, and it looks intentional.

So in spring, Pam Bondi said there was nothing to the Epstein investigation, then “closed” it. Now, they “find” 1 million more docs.

So did she close this without seeing these docs? Or was someone hiding them?
