New in PN: The regime's new Epstein coverup will backfire

"Trump believes stonewalling will protect him from damage. But he’s a fool. He *has* sustained substantial damage and more is coming. It's not justice. It will, though, weaken a regime of fascists. And while that’s not enough, it matters."
The regime's new Epstein coverup will backfire

There is no basis to withhold these images under the clear terms of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. None.
WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.

Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.

Now, it’s gone.

Did anyone really expect them to not engage in a cover up? Time for an independent investigator selected by both parties that is beholden to neither.

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Trump already has one foot in the deep end and the other is almost there. The guy is seriously Looney Tunes. That's all folks.
Dr. Jonathan Reiner on why he was alarmed by Trump's speech: "It was delivered with a manic cadence -- almost a frantic cadence ... it was disturbing to watch. It was disturbing because he's the commander in chief."

That's NOT how math works. Lutnick is an idiot for framing it that way.
FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you

LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times

F: Not a 600% cut

L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

New in PN: 2025 was a political disaster for MAGA

"Led by an erratic president who is failing at his only real skill — messaging — the Trump administration is losing a multifront political war, and things are likely to get worse for them before they get better."

Not for nothing but federal law contains several statutory provisions that restrict, if not outright prohibit, this unilateral action by the senile dementia patient in the Oval.

War Powers Act. War Crimes Act. Anti-Piracy Act. Neutrality Act.

All still on the books.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."
