Three things about Trump that are unmistakable: 1. He is increasingly disconnected from reality. 2. He is increasingly desperate to convey grandiosity and avoid humiliation - this drives him. 3. His health - physical, mental, and neurological - is worsening, adding impatience.

This is from DOJ's response to the Broadview 6 defendants' request for sanctions/investigation. Note how they've put 1) a demand that DOJ actually show what the crime was, 2) Sheri Mecklenburg's departure, 3) Hogan's arrival (w/o mentioning HIS past ethical investigation) 4) dismissal in 1 ¶?

On January 23, 2026, former Defendants moved for clarification about which of the three
means in § 372 they were alleged to have violated. R. 61. Around that time, Experienced AUSA 1
left the Office for a temporary detail in another branch of Government. R. 83, 86. On February 2,
2026, Experienced AUSA 2—who has been with the Office for roughly 40 years—entered his
appearance. R. 73. A third prosecutor, AUSA 3, filed his appearance on February 13, 2026. R. 85.
The Government filed a motion saying it would only proceed on the “force and intimidation” prong
of § 372 and thereby narrowed Count 1 (the felony charge). R. 96. Around that time, the
Government moved to dismiss two of the former Defendants with prejudice. R. 91.

We’ve traveled thousands of miles across the state, holding over 200 events, knocking doors, and talking to Floridians about the kind of representation they want in the Senate. Floridians are the heart of this campaign, and it has been an honor to meet you all out on the trail.

What all three banks have in common: ✅Likely violated federal anti-money laundering laws. ✅Refused to report Epstein's activity until AFTER his arrest. ✅Protected their richest clients over their legal obligations. ✅Refused to cooperate with Congress.

Bank of America held the accounts billionaire Leon Black used to send $170 MILLION to Epstein between 2012 and 2017. For "tax advice." From a registered sex offender with no tax credentials. Bank of America NEVER asked for business records to substantiate the payments.

Deutsche Bank took Epstein in after JPMorgan kicked him out in 2013. Knew his history. Knew the allegations. Kept him as a client for SIX more years anyway. And watched Epstein's lawyer Darren Indyke withdraw $100,000 in CASH from the branch next to Epstein's NY townhouse.

JPMorgan executives JOKED about the underage girls at Epstein's home. CFO David Brigstocke emailed Erdoes about another client's house: "More tasteful, fewer nymphettes." Erdoes replied: "Wow." They visited Epstein's island. His ranch. His townhouse.

JPMorgan Chase. Epstein's primary bank from 1998 to 2013. By 2006, the bank knew Epstein was paying cash to underage girls. Top Asset & Wealth Management CEO Mary Erdoes admitted this under oath. They kept him as a client for FIFTEEN more years.

FWIW, both of VDARE’s founders were on the masthead of the National Review in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Peter Brimelow was also a staffer for Senator Orrin Hatch. This white nationalist thread has been present in the conservative movement for a long time. Screenshot is from 1997.

SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know

"The conventional wisdom today is that Biden’s bet [on the IRA] was a bust....Every part of that story, however, is at best incomplete and at worst simply wrong. The law did, in fact, deliver votes for Democrats. And key components of it are still on the books." – @leahstokes.bsky.social

Bidenomics Was More Successful Than People Think

Conventional wisdom holds that Joe Biden’s bet on climate investment was a bust. The data suggest otherwise.

Treasury Department's own consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2025, released last week to near-total media silence. The numbers: $6.06 trillion in total assets against $47.78 trillion in total liabilities as of September 30, 2025. finance.yahoo.com/economy/poli...

The Treasury just declared the U.S. insolvent. The media missed it

The Government Accountability Office can't even verify the books. Here's what Congress must do.
