In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Washington was beloved by many for giving away power he could have kept. Trump is reviled by many for snatching power he isn’t entitled to,” our columnist Maureen Dowd writes. “One famously wouldn’t tell a lie. The other famously can’t stop telling lies.”

This is a sitting district court judge empowered to make factual findings and he can’t even tell whether that was an “attack”?

BLUMENTHAL: Was the Capitol attacked on J6? TRAYNOR: The actions on January 6 were deeply troubling to watch, but I'm not going to characterize it B: You are perpetuating a lie. I don't know how you can continue as a district court judge, let alone serve on court of appeals. Frankly it's shameful.

Republicans rammed through their $70 billion bill to fund President Trump’s immigration crackdown through the remainder of his term, after beating back bipartisan efforts to add language killing his plan to create a payout fund.

The vote on Democrats’ proposal, which would have sent the G.O.P. immigration bill back to committee, kicked off a marathon of votes that stretched all day and overnight.

CBS News’ Bari Weiss says newsroom leaders could not “find a way back” with Scott Pelley when speaking to network employees about the firing of the “60 Minutes” journalist, a comment Pelley rejected.

Trump’s first round of MAGA hires to work in his administration in 2025 scraped the bottom of the barrel of unqualified hacks and grifters. Now he’s moved on to scraping the sludge and slime that was stuck to the bottom.

Fuck me, this is Bill Pulte. The guy who was using mortgage data to launch DOJ investigations against Lisa Cook, Letitia James and Adam Schiff. He is being put in charge of national intelligence because of his track record of being willing to manufacture false allegations to target Trump's enemies.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admitted that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from the Epstein files release. DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine. Blanche needs to be prosecuted as well.

They lie. They cheat. They profit. I'm fighting to ban members of Congress AND the president from trading stocks, because no one should be profiting off the backs of the people they were elected to serve.

Sadly, every word is true. The American experiment is over. Killed in the middle of Fifth Avenue and no one in power blinked an eye to stop it.

JUST A REMINDER…👇 THE EPSTEIN FILES WERE LEGALLY SUPPOSED TO BE RELEASED OVER 5 MONTHS AGO… AND YET, NO ARRESTS!

Testify at a Senate hearing today, Todd Blanche told Senator Chris Van Hollen he's met with Epstein survivors and their lawyers. Within hours, 18 Epstein survivors released a joint statement contradicting AAG Todd Blanche's testimony, directly accusing him of making false claims. I believe them.

NEW: Epstein survivor Annie Farmer about Todd Blanche testimony about wanting to hear from Epstein survivors: "Blanche’s suggestion that survivors reach out to the Dept of Justice to re-report the crimes committed against them is beyond insulting. Many of us have already done that, repeatedly"
