Republicans are blocking the release of the Epstein files
they insist don’t exist, while also maintaining they contain nothing about Donald Trump, yet were somehow authored by Hillary Clinton.

Republicans are blocking the release of the Epstein files. I wonder why.

Russia deliberately targeted rescuers in Kherson with a drone as they arrived to deal with a fire from a Russian strike.
Thankfully, the rescuers reacted quickly, were able to hide and were not hurt by the Russian drone.

Anyone who supports this war with Iran is officially one of the baddies. You can tune them out and if they are an elected official, it's time to primary them. Enough of hateful war hawks who sow chaos to feed the military industrial complex and their bellies.

If any Democratic president used a military audience as partisan prop, Republicans would melt down. The press would melt down. It was considered unthinkable until Trump showed R's and the media that oligarchic rule was within their reach.

REMINDER!
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is still imprisoned in El Salvador after the U.S. government illegally sent him there in March.
The Trump administration is still resisting facilitating his return, despite having been ordered to do so by judges at every level of the court system!

Very good job by Shaw with Hawley's usual sarcastic approach. (Familiar if you watch Judiciary hearings - reframe witness's position as crazy, goad them into disagreeing, then say hey check out this smart guy who can't defend the position.)
HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him?
KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️
They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador.
Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose.
No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

Congrats to all Republicans and 16 Democrats for passing the Bribing The President Is Legal Now Act.
A cool side effect of this bill is it makes it considerably easier for your kid to buy fentanyl-laced narcotics from a new class of predators on Minecraft, also likely created by this bill.

📌Oct 2022 – Biden signs EO to cut drug prices
📌Jan 2025 – Trump takes office and kills Biden’s EO to cut drug prices
📌May 2025 – Trump signs his own EO to lower drug prices
Trump canceled Biden’s plan then brought it back w/his name on it.
