REMINDER: The Epstein Files Transparency Act requires Trump to release all the Jeffrey Epstein files by Dec 19. That means Trump has 18 DAYS left to release ALL the Epstein files--including hard drives of surveillance footage secretly recorded by Epstein at his houses of people who entered.

A CIA trained killer who Trump granted asylum to in April shoots two National Guard troops. The shooting comes at a time when Trump’s approval is at all time low. In response Trump uses tragedy to ban brown people causing MAGA to cheer. My new article:

It shouldn’t take a slur that impacts you personally, or losing your healthcare or SNAP, or being forced to sell your farm, or having to watch a loved one get unjustly detained and deported...to walk away from a madman.

Cruelty isn’t strength.

Reject it.

Always.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

New in PN: CNN shows that when media orgs fight Trump, they win

"Paying the blackmailer makes you look like a cowardly mark — both to your audience and to the guy grabbing you by the wallet. And with courts announcing they won’t be part of Trump's extortion racket, media outlets need to toughen up"

We're in federal court today challenging President Trump's illegal use of the Alien Enemies Act to send Venezuelans to a brutal El Salvador prison with no due process.

Everyone deserves their day in court. This administration's actions are cruel and unlawful.

Absolutely superb piece.
Greg Bovino is leading a rebel cavalry terrorizing America—and it's important to recognize that it's in retreat. While the trauma and terror Bovino’s raiders instill is real and damaging, it’s remarkable to note how ineffective the force has turned out to be. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-bord...

Trump's family also has lucrative ongoing real estate deals with the Saudis.

He'll overlook the murder of Jamal Khashoggi to pad his pockets and boost the bottom line of the military industrial complex.
