When widely respected GEN Randy George, whom Hegseth fired as Army Chief of Staff today, was a colonel, he and Lt Col Brown tried to shut down the ill-fated COP Keating before disaster struck. But their urgent pleas weren’t heeded as they should have been. (From THE OUTPOST:)

There is no aspect of voting or the 2026 elections that Republicans are not attacking. This is an all out assault on democracy. My law firm and I are litigating in nearly 90 places to stop it with more to come.

The Bondi firing will get all the attention but what Hegseth is doing with the upper echelons of the military is much more dangerous over time than Bondi’s tenure as AG. And it won’t get 1% of the coverage. Someday it will get a lot of coverage, and those will be dark days.

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

WOW: DOJ redactions hid key details about Trump’s Epstein ties — and Rep. Dan Goldman just revealed what they were trying to cover up. In the unredacted document shown today by Goldman, we can now read the full notes from a 2009 conversation involving Jeffrey Epstein and Trump’s attorneys. 1/

To be clear: the SAVE Act does not simply require the identification voting ALREADY requires. It demands proof of CITIZENSHIP— a birth certificate with a name that matches yours now (bye, bye, married women), or a passport— both of which are expensive and take a long time to obtain.

Median family income in the US increased from $10,000 in 1971 to $106,000 today, a 10x increase. However, the median cost of homes increased from $25,000 to $445,000, a 17x increase. And the average cost of healthcare per person increased from $350 to $14,600, a 42x increase. THIS IS INSANE.

NEWS: In 2019, the Trump DOJ took over New Mexico’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch — telling the state to stand down and turn over its findings. According to officials and newly unsealed records, the probe soon fizzled after the federal takeover. Link to NYT reporting in reply.

James Talarico: I frankly am tired of the "thoughts and prayers" rhetoric from our leaders here in Texas and in our nation's capital. I believe in the power of prayer. But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem that we're not willing to solve ourselves.

Trump is in the Epstein files 38,000 times. He flew on Epstein’s private jet — and lied about it. He wrote to Epstein about their “wonderful secret.” QAnon thought Trump was going to take down the secret pedophile ring — but he's right in the middle of it.
