Kudos to Donald Trump for making every Republican who votes against releasing the Epstein files look even more like they're guilty of running cover for a president who was closely involved with a notorious sex trafficker.

This is one of those times when social media is important. I don't trust most major news organizations to do much with this photo, even though it speaks volumes about this moment in our nation's history. But the image going viral will get it seen, and might push news orgs to use and discuss it.

SNAP benefits are in limbo and health insurance premiums are skyrocketing, so Trump and his coterie of new-money slobs rub their wealth in Americans' faces. I hope you'll read the whole column (www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...), but here's an excerpt:

Does Trump care about 42 million Americans losing SNAP benefits? What a rude question.

My message to Republicans based on what I’ve seen firsthand at a No Kings protest and via photos and video of protests nationwide: Y’all whacked a hornet’s nest. You can pretend the swarm ain’t there, but that won’t keep you from getting stung.

I went to the Broadview anti-ICE protest to find the violent radicals and America-hating chaos agents. I found a dude wearing an eagle mask and a speedo.

Asked this ICE protester which organized crime syndicate he was with. He said none. Life in war-ravaged Chicago continues apace.

This galling, terse administration quote about the No Kings protest should enrage any American who believes the government works for us, the people. Unreal. (It's from this story: www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...)

This strikes me as interesting item in the Illinois lawsuit to stop the National Guard from coming. Apparently the same thing happened in the Oregon order attempting to federalize National Guard troops. Sounds like Trump isn't willing to directly make the order. Or they're just dumb. Both bad.

Who do these weirdos imagine they're talking to? This would resonate only with Doritos-dust-covered MAGA fanatics who wear Viking helmets while furiously trolling libs from their sweat-soaked basement futons, fully convinced they will one day be greeted as heroes in the golden halls of Mar-a-Lago.
