A reminder that Trump is loyal to no one. No one. He will always eventually screw over everyone.

The judge who oversaw the initial challenge to Trump’s attempt to use the Alien Enemies Act to quickly remove people from the country will soon have the authority to continue any contempt proceedings over whether the admin violated his first orders in the case on March 15.

I explain:
D.C. Circuit won't review Trump admin contempt appeal further, sending matter back to Boasberg
The latest order over the Trump administration's actions sending flights to El Salvador on March 15.

with the "Department of War" account on here not getting suspended for death threats I think it's fair to say that if you make a joke about killing someone on here, it's bad but if you mean it, it's fine? I dunno, policy needs tweaking I think

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

They didn’t put the truly sensitive stuff in email.

It’s just they got so desensitized and depraved that the stuff they considered small-bore and put in email horrifies us.

Pam Bondi has now assigned a prosecutor to look into Epstein's ties to Democrats.

If this investigation was legitimate, why wasn't this investigation opened months ago?

If this investigation was legitimate, why isn't everyone mentioned in Epstein's emails being investigated?
Trump just said he'll be ordering an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's involvement with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase and other people and institutions.

Not on that list: Donald Trump. Steve Bannon.

9/🧵 What does this mean for Democratic strategy? All those debates about choosing between identity politics and economic populism? False premise. Young working-class voters with low racial resentment aren't choosing. They're ready for Medicare for All AND Black Lives Matter. Lean into the tide.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

Jeffrey Epstein “seemed confident that he knew something damaging about Trump,” our columnist Michelle Goldberg writes. “Why is Trump acting like he was right?”

Trump is demanding that GOP side with him over Epstein's victims, Rep Ansari tells me. She had a harrowing exchange with one victim who recounts how her mom had cancer and he exploited that.

Also note her mockery of network disclaimers on Trump. More like this, Ds:

Start looking up who all took money from Russia and Israel
It is not confirmed who “Bubba” is; Bill Clinton is widely known by that nickname. The allegation that Putin possesses images of oral sex between Donald Trump & Clinton points to the potential kompromat & blackmail Russia may hold, and whether Epstein supplied it. #OpDeathEaters
