They're named in the Epstein files — and donated to Ken Paxton’s campaign: At least one member of a Texas family whose business once considered buying Jeffrey Epstein's notorious plane — "The Lolita Express" — donated thousands of dollars to support Ken Paxton's Senate campaign earlier this year.

This family’s aviation company was once in talks to buy Epstein’s plane, and one family member was the focus of an anonymous allegation.

Meet Daniel Flickinger. In 2020 he was forced to resign from an Alabama law firm over a Facebook post mocking George Floyd's murder as "purely hypothetical." He now helps run the DOJ office that polices civil-rights compliance on college campuses. 2/

It is undisputed that, in June 2020, Flickinger posted the following message on his personal Facebook page, apparently regarding the death of George Floyd: "Things  I  think  about:  If  I  were  a  seven-time  felon,  with  my  most recent prison stint stemming from robbing and holding a pregnant woman at gunpoint in her home, would I choose to die in    a    fentanyl    and    methamphetamine    numbed    strangulation  if  it  meant  being  worshipped  in  a  nationwide  funeral  and  my  family  receiving  millions  of  dollars?  Purely  hypothetical."

From a WAPO article on this 'magic grand jury'. This is the core of your problem - they can just make shit up. What are you doing?

"they can make shit up as they go along"

Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone. He fist pumped in Butler, Pennsylvania and hid in a catering cart in Ankara, Turkey. It's the same guy. Fake assassination attempt vs. real. Talk about it.

Iran chokes off what was an open international waterway, thanks to Trump’s utter stupidity, rotten judgment, and incompetence. Its financial windfall will allow the Iranians to rebuild their military, reinforce their terrorist networks, and guarantee new stability for regime Trump vowed to change.

Republicans put unfit, unhinged Pete Hegseth in office and refused to exercise oversight. Republicans gave Trump a blank check.The Iran war disaster is a Republican disaster, one that should disqualify the party from holding power. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Donald Trump attempted a coup and incited the Jan 6 terrorist attack. He should be in prison for the remainder of his life as a warning to others that if you attempt a coup that will be your fate. We need to keep working to that end for the good of our Republic.

Matriarchy is not women’s rule, it’s a different way of organizing power. It centers care over domination, and puts children, the vulnerable, and those most affected by decisions closer to the heart of those decisions. Not patriarchy with women on top. Something better. 💛

Michigan Democrats are going to be united. Wisconsin Democrats are going to be united. Minnesota Democrats are going to be united. Ignore the haters and lock the fuck in to beat the GOP.

Donald Trump and Mike Collins want to pay your tax dollars to violent thugs who ransacked the Capitol to undermine our elections and attacked police officers on January 6th. Georgians will vote accordingly.

"Mr. Trump, you are the first president in American history to start and lose a war by yourself. You have made America more weak, more alone and less respected. Congress needs to take back the steering wheel from this impaired driver."

Just the idea of an American president labeling and disparaging half of the country should be enough for rational people to see him for what he is. The worst president of all time.

SCOOP: People on the airport catering truck used to secretly move President Trump off an Air Force One 747 in Turkey included: - Dan Scavino - Walt Nauta - Natalie Harp No Cabinet-level officials were on that truck. wapo.st/3S47ztG

Close Trump aides — but no Cabinet officials — made secret catering truck move

The president was accompanied by some of his most loyal aides but no top administration officials as he made the clandestine move to a different plane to leave Turkey last month.
