I predicted someone like Trump many years ago, in THE DEAD ZONE. So now I'm saying this--in the next 12-16 months, we're going to find out if the two machines for the removal of a man unable to fulfill his duties actually work. They are impeachment and the 25th amendment. He is deeply unwell .

A man claims his grandmother in Colombia—a former housekeeper at Epstein’s Manhattan home—kept hidden memory cards, photos, and tapes when she was fired. He says it includes child abuse evidence, and both ABC and Fox refused to release it. If true, she may be holding what investigators searched for.

This is the most insane paragraph I've read in a mainstream paper maybe ever Heritage Foundation authored Project 2025. Russ Vought was VP at Heritage Action. What in the literal fuck are you talking about
The turmoil has implications for more than Roberts's job. Founded in 1973, the Heritage Foundation has been a pillar of the conservative movement and was the ideological and policy engine behind the Reagan administration. But as Reagan's party transformed into Trump's, younger think tanks have gained traction with the donors and advisers closest to the president; this year, Heritage officials were mostly frozen out of senior roles. The issues at Heritage echo other battles at right-wing institutions and in the conservative movement that have been aggravated by Trump's embrace of people and views once relegated to the fringes of Republican

politics.

Jesus himself in Matthew, when he first discussed the Lord's Prayer, said only hypocrites pray in public and beat their chests over how religious they are. He said if you truly want to pray to God, go into a closet by yourself.Hegseth is going directly against the red letter words of Christ.

'Blatantly unconstitutional’: Democracy professor on ICE tactics
ICE targeting students who have criticized the Trump administration is “blatantly unconstitutional,” warns professor of democracy Lucan Ahmad Way. “You can't simply racially profile or profile people based on their national origin and start pulling them off the streets,” says Joyce Vance. “That, by definition, is a police state.” With an explosion of new funding for ICE, as part of the GOP’s megabill, there’s yet more reason to be alarmed. With a rapid expansion of ICE, the danger, says Vance, “is that the people in charge are no longer the career officials with training who understand loyalty to the Constitution. These are quite literally people who understand loyalty to Donald Trump.”
