Trump is bragging about working to eliminate fraud. Most of his presidential pardons have been for people convicted of money laundering and fraud to the tune of over $1 billion.

Given that Trump has insulted, tariffed or even threatened all loyal US allies, the US has no allies left. Then it had better increase defense expenditures drastically. This is the dumbest foreign policy anybody could pursue, a real Trump policy.

Frost on seeing the "unredacted" Epstein files: A few takeaways. Number one, there's a lot of documents that are still redacted. When I asked the DOJ about it, they said they received it that way, which means that Kash FBI kept them redacted when they gave it to the DOJ, which is interesting...

The contemptuous Pam Bondi has made it exceedingly, disgustingly clear it’s far more important to praise Donald Trump and his greatness than to investigate his criminal participation in Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex rings.

The GOP’s SAVE Act also requires broad voter purge programs using reportedly unreliable citizenship info from databases “updated” by DOGE (among other sources). My guess is that these purges wld result in many faulty purges of people w/ Hispanic last names, disproportionately impacting Democrats.
