#MelindaFrenchGates has said she met #JeffreyEpstein once and found him so repugnant that she had nightmares afterwards. What so chilled her?

The for-profit UFC cage-fighting event is happening today on the #WhiteHouse lawn to celebrate @realDonaldTrump’s 80th birthday.
Who’s paying for this tacky spectacle? Who’s paying for the secret service?
Let’s remember that @realDonaldTrump was found guilty of 34 felony counts in his trial in Manhattan Criminal Court in 2024 — by a jury of his peers.
Should we allow criminals convicted of felonies to serve as president? No. We can do better than that.
Former prime minister of Hungary Victor Orbán used architecture to reinforce the idea that his government was rebuilding former glories.
Sound familiar @realDonaldTrump? These are simply edifices to unfettered ego and dictatorship.
@realDonaldTrump’s comparison of Iran to Venezuela proves he intended his strike on #Iran to mimic January’s rapid strike on #Venezuela — that enabled the U.S. to grab oil and profit enormously. He vastly underestimated the resolve of Iran to fight back.
Yesterday, @realDonaldTrump posted on social media a demand that @GOP in Congress give the U.S. military an additional $350 billion and pass the SAVE America bill that would suppress voting.
“No games, no delays, and no weak compromises! Do this ASAPs
During the 2024 presidential campaign, when caught lying about Haitian immigrants eating pets, @JDVance admitted he felt it necessary “to create stories so that the…media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people.”

@realDonaldTrump’s incisive grasp of economics after the high inflation report from May at 4.2% (more than double what the Federal Reserve recommends):
“No, I love it. The numbers were great. You know what I really love? I love the inflation.”
The Stock Market hates inflation
@USDOL released May inflation #s -at highest since early 2023 at an annual rate of 4.2%, up from 3.8% in April. The Federal Reserve likes to keep inflation at 2%. Mainly due to Energy costs:
-fuel oil up 59%
-gasoline up 41%
-Airline fares up 27%
-Fruits & vegetables up 6%
@realDonaldTrump & #MAGA@GOP celebrated Hungarian PM, Viktor Orbán’s ideology, calling for the U.S. to mimic his rejection of immigration, undermining of the rule of law & destruction of liberal democracy in favor of Orbán’s “illiberal democracy” or “Christian democracy.”
David Kurtz of @TPM explains, if @GOP senators confirm Blanche, they will be rubber-stamping @realDonaldTrump’s perversion of @TheJusticeDept & encouraging it to continue, blessing “wide-ranging and extreme” corruption. “No accountability, no roadblocks, no pumping the brakes.”
#EpsteinSurvivors are now under threat from @realDonaldTrump supporters.
“She’ll be unalived,” someone wrote under a news report of an accuser demanding the release of the files. “She really should’ve stayed quiet. RIP.”
@TheJusticeDept has ignored #EpsteinFiles Transparency Act, releasing about half the files. Many of those released are heavily redacted although the law expressly prohibits such redactions. Instead, the Dept of Justice released previously unknown names of Epstein survivors
Part of slush fund deal includes an agreement between @realDonaldTrump & @TheJusticeDept promising to drop all pending claims against Trump, his oldest sons & the Trump Org for past illegalities in tax returns & promising not to conduct audits of Trump’s tax returns
#Corruption
Blanche put his name on an agreement in that deal between @realDonaldTrump & @TheJusticeDept promising to drop all pending claims against Trump, his oldest sons, or the Trump Org for past illegalities in tax returns, & promising not to conduct audits of Trump’s tax returns
