The DOJ’s document dump of hundreds of thousands of pages failed to comply with the law authored by Rep. Thomas Massie and me.

Lawsuit filed!

“Blotting out the majesty of America’s national parks with a closeup of his own face is Trump’s crassest, most ego-driven action yet.

The national parks are not a personal branding opportunity. They’re the pride and joy of the American people"

SICK‼️ Trump said Reiner died “due to anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind-crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME”.

Also wrote that he himself had “surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness”.

Antifa was really active 80-85 years ago, eh? Our fathers and grandfathers gave so much to stop fascism. Who could have imagined we would have to do it again.

And this time the fascism festers and thrives among us right here in America.

The Pedo-Protector Prez ordered a brand new distraction & the Dept. of War (actually the Dept. of Defense: a mini-distraction within a distraction, no extra charge!) is delivering by expanding our ongoing unlawful policy of randomly bombing the tiny boats of fishermen with no due process whatsoever.

I guess maybe we can credit the Colorado Republicans for being self-aware enough to recognize themselves in this public notice?

I’m not sure the Mississippi and other Dixie Republicans would make the connection.

BREAKING: new emails CONFIRM my reporting that there are TRAINING VIDEOS instructing FBI personnel on how to review the Epstein Files. Plus, a lot more…
The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.
