New bombshell from my investigators on Epstein's sex trafficking operation: the Trump administration has an Epstein file detailing 4,725 wire transfers and almost $1.1 billion flowing through just one of his banks. Hundreds of millions more through others.

Care for us? True indeed! They ne’er car’d for us yet. Suffer us to famish, and their store-houses cramm’d with grain; make edicts for usury, to support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act establish’d against the rich, and provide more piercing statutes daily to chain up and restrain the poor.

Here’s what a GOP plan could mean for different Americans next year: People making under $17,000 a year: lose an average of around $1,000. People making between ~$17,000 and $51,000: lose an average of around $700. People in the top 0.1%: gain an average of over $389,000.

When a president "doesn't know" if he has to follow the constitution, how do you not immediately bring up the fact that he took an oath to do exactly that? A real journalist would do that. A conspiratorial fluffer would move right along and pretend everything was normal.

The Senate votes tomorrow on Trump's pick to lead Social Security. Trump and Musk are putting us on a glidepath to privatization, and Frank Bisignano is the yes-man that will help them do it. Republicans will be to blame when seniors and folks with disabilities start missing checks.

This is particularly obscene when you realize Republicans want to take food, shelter, healthcare, jobs, and due process from the bottom 50% of people in the US to free up cash to give the greedy, sociopaths who are the richest 0.1% in the US even more money for yachts, bonuses, and villas.

Significant that Trump called Bezos to complain about Amazon *showing* the increased costs because of tariffs, not to complain about Amazon lying to customers about the effects of tariffs. Trump knows tariffs increase costs. So he lies about them to the public. But not to billionaires bribing him.

Like those behind so many other recent mass shootings, the sheriff's son who carried out the shooting in Florida today was a supporter of Donald Trump's fascist agenda, in which fantasies of total power, the desire to murder, and self-destructiveness mingle. They are raising their children to kill.
Riley Pusins said that at meetings, the suspect advocated for President Donald Trump's agenda and often promoted white supremacist values, even though the club was nonpartisan and it was about debate and political discourse.

Pusins said many people in the club had labeled the suspect a fascist.

The 20-year-old suspect went to meetings almost every Thursday, Pusins said, and after the meetings, he often made more "inappropriate" comments.

He would "go up to the line" in the meeting and then cross the line in comments made after the fact, Pusins said.
