Today Donald Trump saved us from some of the tariffs he put in place, in order to bring down the price of groceries he said never went up.

There has never been a clearer example of the fact that we do not have a legislature in the United States right now. Trump tells them to vote no, so they all vote no. Then Trump changes his mind and they all change their votes. That is autocracy. Vote them out!

The Trump administration will require millions of low-income people to "reapply" for food stamps.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins made the announcement on Newsmax, but didn't provide more information on when or how people would need to reapply.

How far gone is Trump's mind?

He says the 2020 census was rigged.

It was conducted while the president was... HIM

He's accusing HIMSELF of rigging a census 🤪

Funny, how MAGA is *outraged* over someone who is simply a Muslim in the New York City mayor's mansion, but has no comment about a Muslim who is an actual murderer in the White House.

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

The notion that Trump can tell his attorney who to prosecute and they comply is perhaps more damaging to democracy than all his other actions put together

But if he goes down this road, then everybody-Don Jr, Ivanka, Barron and Eric (would he care) is game

And pardons are unlikely to protect them

It is truly not worth draining the living word for this vampiric tech and people are starting to realize it.

Want to look through Jeffrey Epstein’s documents yourself?

We published a searchable database of the entire set of new Epstein files and emails.

Despite Trump saying this is a scam, Trump is mentioned more than anyone else. Search for yourself here: journaliststudio.google.com/pinpoint/sea...

Both parties should support this. Using AI to generate a video of a candidate saying something he didn’t say should be illegal. Especially since many voters think it is real. I will condemn any candidate from either party who does this.

Zeteo has made a searchable database of all new 26,000 files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Despite Trump saying this is a scam with "all arrows pointing to the Democrats," these have a whole lot of Trump in there. In fact, he's mentioned in these more than anyone else.

Take a look for yourself:

You can search and review the emails here. Read what Epstein said about Trump, and his emails with Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, Ehud Barak, and Larry Summers.

“MAGA’s grand poobah, Donald Trump, appears to be, rather clearly, either an actual predator himself or a man perfectly comfortable looking the other way in the presence of such depravity.” - from Zeteo’s First Draft email newsletter this morning, on Trump and Epstein and the fracturing GOP:
🦆 Lame Duck in Chief?
Peter Rothpletz on the GOP, at long last, *maybe* moving on from Donald Trump, Megyn Kelly musing about gradations of pedophilia, South Park’s erotic swipe at MAGA, and even more Epstein bombshells.
