Epstein has made a third production
of documents to the House Oversight
Committee pursuant to last month's
subpoena, according to a letter obtained by
@MSNBC and an Oversight aide.
The production, which was made yesterday,
contains more than 8,500 pages in
response to the panel's request for phone
messages and/or message logs, flight logs
and manifests, ledgers reflecting cash
transactions on behalf of Epstein personally
and/or a host of his businesses, and
emails between him and a former assistant
concerning his schedule.
An Oversight aide tells us "the Epstein

🤨 I'll believe it when I see it.

@realDonaldTrump

After getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia
Military & Economic situation and, after seeing the Economic
trouble it is causing Russia, | think Ukraine, with the support of
the Eur Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of
Ukraine back in its original form. With time, patience, and the
financial support of Europe &, in particular, NATO, the original
Borders from where this War started, is very much an option.
Why not? Russia has been fighting aimlessly for three and a half
years a War that should have taken a Real Military Power less
than a week to win. This is not distinguishing Russia. In fact, it is
very much making them look like “a paper tiger.” When the people
living in Moscow, and all of the Great Cities, Towns, and Districts
all throughout Russia, find out what is really going on with this
War, the fact that it's almost impossible for them to get Gasoline
through the long lines that are being formed, and all of the other
things that are taking place in their War Economy, where most of
their money is being spent on fighting Ukraine, which has Great
Spirit, and only getting better, Ukraine would be able to take back
their Country in its original form and, who knows, maybe even go
further than that! Putin and Russia are in BIG Economic trouble,
and this is the time for Ukraine to act. In any event, | wish both
Countries well. We will continue to supply weapons to NATO for
NATO to do what they want with them. Good luck to all!

2/ ICYMI: 🚨"Jimmy Kimmel Live will be preempted indefinitely” - per an ABC "We can do this the easy way or the hard way." Fascism SHOULD NOT BE EASY.

“[This] appears to be an action by Jimmy Kimmel to play into the
narrative that this was somehow a MAGA or Republican-motivated
person,” Carr said. “What people don't understand is that the
broadcasters ... have a license granted by us at the FCC, and that
comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest. When we
see stuff like this, look, 👉🏼we can do this the easy way or the hard way.👈🏼
These companies can find ways to change conduct, on Kimmel, or
there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.

But a senior law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the
investigation cautioned that report had not been verified by A.T.F.
analysts, did not match other summaries of the evidence, and
might turn out to have been misread or misinterpreted. In fast-
moving investigations, such status reports are not made public
because they often contain a mixture of accurate and inaccurate

Now, Secretary Kennedy and HHS have set their sights on weaponizing public health for political gain and putting millions of American lives at risk.
When CDC Director Susan Monarez refused to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives and fire dedicated health experts she chose protecting the public over serving a political agenda. For that, she has been targeted.

"In a span of minutes, her 29-year career in public service was essentially over." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec…

In the days leading up to President Donald Trump’s Aug. 15 Alaska
summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, one of the CIA’s senior-
most Russia experts worked grueling hours, helping Trump and his
team prepare for high-stakes diplomacy over Ukraine and making sure
they were adequately briefed, according to a former agency colleague.
Four days later, the CIA officer — whom The Washington Post is not
naming for her protection — was at work at the spy agency’s Langley
headquarters when she was abruptly ordered to report to the security
office. She was informed that her clearance to look at classified material
was being stripped. In a span of minutes, her 29-year career in public
service was essentially over.

This list! Via @lolgop There have been a lot of terrible days in the last year, but August 1 stands out for how clarifying it was in its shitiness. www.thefarce.org/welcome-to-trumps-…

On August 1, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced that jt would close following the cuts approved by the Republican Congress last month.

The same day, Donald Trump announced he would fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because he didn't like the job numbers that show how quickly his policies have wrecked what was the best job market for Americans in this century.

The same day, the Republican Supreme Court announced what looks like its intention to destroy what's left of the Voting Rights Act.

The same day, we found out the Trump regime had broken the federal prison system's rules to send Jeffrey Epstein’s partner in a massive child rape scheme to a cushy prison as part of Trump's cover-up of his role in said scheme.

The same day, we learned we get to buy Trump a $200 million ballroom for the White House to go with the billion dollars we're spending on his Qatari plane, which he'll hopefully only fly for a year as president.

The same day, Trump wagged a nuclear weapon at Russia to rage against the weakness he's feeling despite all his unchecked power.

The same day, Trump's illegal tariff regime went into effect, smacking hundreds of millions of dollars in sales taxes on American consumers for imported products.

Meanwhile, we found out that there's a hunger strike going on inside the showcase concentration camp of the Trump regime.

éh Donald J. Trump &2 @

@realDonald Trump
| was just informed that our Country's “Jobs Numbers” are being produced by
a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor
Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost
Kamala's chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that
overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and,
then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and
September, by 112,000. These were Records — No one can be that wrong?
We need accurate Jobs Numbers. | have directed my Team to fire this Biden
Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much
more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and
accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said
there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a
major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two
months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the
negative. The Economy is BOOMING under “TRUMP” despite a Fed that also
plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice,
and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, | assume in the hopes
of getting “Kamala” elected — How did that work out? Jerome “Too Late”
Powell should also be put “out to pasture.” Thank you for your attention to
this matter!
