Transportation secretary Sean Duffy benefited from millions in corporate donations to make a show about road trips. But two months after Duffy said the show would premiere, it doesn't appear to exist at all. My latest False Flag @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/what-the-h...

What the Hell Happened to Sean Duffy’s Road-Trip TV Show?
Three months after it was announced, the secretary of transportation’s summer show—funded by companies he regulates—hasn’t aired a single episode.

In public, prosecutors likened the Broadview 6 defendants to Aamon Bundy's armed standoff with Feds. In private, AUSA Matthew Skiba likened them to the Trump Train that almost menaced a Joe Biden campaign bus. That's not legal precedent. It is far right grievance. emptywheel.net/2026/06/18/m...

Hugo Holland, who is running for judge, once compared a mentally disabled Black teen to a dog during a death penalty case and told the jury to “get rid of it.” Attorneys later found that Holland had failed to turn over a trove of evidence. With @veritenews.org

Holland, who once compared a Black child to a dog, has had a career mired in controversy. That hasn’t stopped him from becoming the de facto frontrunner of his judicial race.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Read @sollenbergerrc.bsky.social’s work on the South Carolina survivor who spoke to the FBI about Epstein in 2019 but refused to speak to them about Trump.
"That's because this document shows the FBI conducted not just one but four interviews with Trump's accuser. And, as I reported Wednesday, while the government gave all four of those interviews to Maxwell's legal team
ahead of her trial, the government gave only one of those four interviews to us in the
Epstein files"
