@mehdirhasan@WajahatAli They’re thinking about putting together some focus groups. But first they need a focus group to discuss what the topic of said focus groups should be.
Let me explain this absurd ruse: The Pentagon is pretending there have been two Iran wars separated by a brief cease-fire.
The reality: By going more than 90 days without congressional authorization @SecWar IS BREAKING THE LAW and must be held accountable.
We are supposedly at war to stop Iran from enriching the uranium we “obliterated” over a year ago.
Yesterday we signed a deal to help Saudi Arabia enrich uranium.
The first time the United States has ever helped another country enrich uranium on foreign soil.
The Saudis refused the inspection protocol 140 other countries accept. Too intrusive, they said.
Trump agreed. He signed a national security waiver to get around the rule.
The Saudis paid Kushner $100 million. They put $2 billion into his firm. They put another $6 billion into LIV Golf, which pays Trump properties to host its tournaments. They signed ten billion dollars in Trump-branded real estate deals in Jeddah and Riyadh. All in just the last few years.
But sure. My paintings.
‼️NEW: Susan Collins stonewalled reporters and voted to block the release of the Epstein files — while taking money from his associates. - @MeidasTouch
Epstein-tied donors:
- Casey Wasserman: $10,000. (Sept 2025) A Close Epstein/Maxwell friend who flew on the plane & exchanged explicit emails with Ghislaine. Hosted a fundraiser for Collins.
-Leon Black: $2,800. An Epstein associate for decades; socialized & dined with him. Accused of sexual assault (denied).
- Elon Musk: $2,800. Featured in Epstein files for emails about parties & island meetup after Epstein’s 2008 conviction.
- Stephen Schwarzman (Blackstone CEO): $3M to Collins-supporting Super PAC — Co-founder of Epstein’s Core Club where he “lurked.”
Votes & actions to block files release (Sept 2025):
- Voted with Republicans to defeat Democratic effort to force release of the files in the defense appropriations bill.
- Voted to table amendment directing DOJ to release the files (51-49; only Hawley & Paul opposed tabling).
As usual, Collins stonewalled questions and stood silent as Trump deflected. The campaign contributions flowed in while she blocked transparency.

Not subtle: new party line is to associate Communists with every crime, every offense. Create a sense of Communist threat to justify a rightwing crackdown. Old playbook used with coups and Fascist takeovers.
Please tell me Andy Beshear isn’t another Merrick Fucking Garland because America cannot survive another season of aggressive caution. This is exactly why you guys can’t have nice things.
NEWS: WV GOP Assistant Majority Leader Elliott Pritt has been arrested and charged with enticing a minor after allegedly grooming a 15-year-old through Roblox and Snapchat, then having her meet him in his classroom.
GOP leadership won't call for his resignation.
Mitch McConnell's team reached out to me earlier today — through an intermediary, of course — asking me to take this down.
I won't. I don't bend the knee.
And if they don't like having their name and face attached to it, maybe they should ask themselves why that is.
Meet the senior staff running Mitch McConnell's DC office. You pay their salaries. You're entitled to know what they're keeping from us.

Let them know how you feel.
