A woman with a “Release The Epstein Files” shirt stands at a Trump rally shouting at Trump to release the Epstein files and gets physically beaten by the MAGA men around her, who probably call themselves Christians. What has become of MAGA?

James Talarico just summed up the entire midterm election in one sentence: “We have an affordability crisis because we have a corruption crisis.” That’s it. This entire election comes down to affordability vs. corruption. Which one are you voting for?

So Trump not only disarmed Ukraine by removing the Starlink/Starshield capability with defensive drones (the system only operates in Ukraine), he blinded it too with withholding advanced warnings of Russian missile attacks. How evil, cowardly and craven. Is Kash Patel still in Moscow

If reports of an end to intelligence sharing and Starlink access limits are confirmed, then the Trump admin has started helping Russia’s war effort. This a more harmful act against Ukraine than all the silly Witkoff/Kushner plans/trips put together. The US is trying to force Ukraine to surrender.

Pretty clear that Trump/Hegseth are doing everything they can to force Ukraine to surrender to Putin by withholding all US assistance while actively helping fund the Russian war machine to kill as many civilians as possible including kids. What a dark, evil chapter in US history.

Inflation is up again. Not because of a pandemic. Not because of a natural disaster. Because of Trump’s war, tariffs, and corporate tax breaks. It really is this simple: Republicans took over, and then drove up the cost of living in America.

This should set off a siren in every defence ministry in Europe: there needs to be much more urgency about developing autonomous capabilities, not subject to US caprices, for early warning of attacks, countering ballistic missiles, communicating with forces or controlling offensive weapons.

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.
"I can confirm that tonight SpaceX has implemented a speed limit on Starlink terminals while in motion.

The limit currently applies to the StarShield “military package” and is set at 100 mph.

Our defense forces were not given notice of this limit, and this has resulted in the disruption of a number of missions.

It is clear that this action cannot be a coincidence and is related to the current political situation."

At this point, there is no ambiguity about what just happened: Trump has stabbed the Ukrainian nation in the back in exchange for a shipment of diesel that would be a roughly 17 hour supply for the US market. It shows how easily Trump is manipulated by Putin, Xi and other dangerous dictators.

So many things wrong with this "deal," but also: it's not a "massive" amount. If we actually receive 1,800,000 tons of diesel from Russia, that's equivalent to: * 3.3 days of US consumption, or * 10 days of US *exports*. It's a drop in the bucket. We send more than that overseas every two weeks.

FBI 302: The woman said Epstein introduced her to Trump when she was 13–15: “It was Donald Trump.” She said Trump told her “Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be,” then raped her. She said she fought back, Trump “pulled her hair and punched her on the side of her head.” #OpDeathEaters
Epstein took her off the island when she was between 13 and 15, she told agents on 7 August 2019, and drove or flew her to New York or New Jersey. She was "introduced to someone with money, money... It was Donald Trump." Others were with them, in a very tall building with huge rooms. Eighteen pages of handwritten notes cover that interview. Its typed summary, filed under case number 31E-NY-3027571 and marked PROTECT SOURCE, went online in March 2026.

Trump did not like her, "from the get-go, he didn't like that I was a boy-girl", the 302 records her saying, a reference to her being a tomboy. She could not identify the others present. They all left when Trump asked everyone to leave the room.

He said something to the effect of "Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be." He unzipped his trousers and put her head, in the 302's phrasing, "down to his penis". She "bit the shit out of it". He struck her and said words to the effect of "get this little bitch the hell out of here." Agents returning to the incident in a later interview recorded her clarifying what the blow had been: he "pulled her hair and punched her on the side of her head".

She bit him because he disgusted her, she told agents. "He had money, it reeked off of him."
