The Administration WANTS to be on these shows spreading lies. It’s not a favor to CNN. You hold the power. Tell them you are ending the interview the second they lie. It would absolutely change the behavior.

“Trump has largely sneered at concerns about affordability, but he has promised to give people $5,000 checks if Republicans win … — something Bos said he found offensive. “It feels like a bribe, a slap in the face, and, like, that we’re all ignorant,” Bos said.” apnews.com/article/trum...

My investigators have confirmed the Trump administration is hiding interview documents it conducted with some of Epstein’s banks, and there could be more. There’s no limit to how far Scott Bessent, Kash Patel and Todd Blanche will go to continue this cover up.

This is one of the (many) reasons I believe societies should structure their tax systems to prevent people from becoming billionaires. It’s bad for society & it’s also extremely bad for them. Many of the super-rich are totally messed up because they can’t trust anyone & they’re right, they shouldn’t

Trump’s ballroom must be instantly torn down for rule of law, fire code hazards, damnatio memoriae, and symbolic reassertion that We the People are sovereign. But also clearly for national security. Like the bribe plane from Qatar, we know foreign interests are involved but don’t know all they did.

The post-war "peace dividend" owed its existence to three factors: industrial capacity, political freedom and pent-up demand.

The Earth from space; it is covered in scaffolding that is crawling with little rude mechanicals ganked from 17th century engravings of people operating machines.

Unprecedented corruption & constitutional crimes. Again, it all should have ended in 2017, when he began openly monetizing the presidency at his hotel two blocks from the White House. We are not a serious country.

A grim feature of the death penalty in the US is that it *cannot* be performed by medical professionals, because they're obliged to do no harm. Not only is it randos, but drugs used in MAID aren't generally available because it's a bad look for pharma companies for a *very* niche market.

These ads go in the same category as brazen, easily disproven lies after ICE killings. It’s not about persuasion. It’s a display of power. They could have passed them off as PAC-funded. They added “paid for by the U.S. government” because they want us to know they can break the law with impunity.

"They polled a whole 600 people," I keep telling myself, "...error margin," and it's not helping assuage my concerns. "All those red-state license plates we're seeing are probably liberals, come to save the day," but that feels like a hopium and xenophobia bong hit.
