Trump ripped up the walkway between the West Wing and the mansion to replace it with polished African granite carved in Italy. "Paid for by me," he claimed. Except that's not true. Taxpayers paid $689,232, per documents obtained by @michaelscherer https://t.co/7l2bkD0MIH

The story behind this specific month is pure rock lore. Back home in the United States, their debut album had basically tanked upon arrival. Radio stations just didn't know what to do with them. But when they flew over to London in the spring of 1977, the British audiences and music press instantly fell in love with their sound. Putland caught Tom sitting on a couch during an interview, proudly repping the band's iconic winged-heart-and-dagger logo shirt underneath that amazing black-and-white striped blazer. This UK run completely turned the tide for the band. The buzz across the pond was so massive that American radio was forced to pay attention, finally breaking Breakdown and American Girl onto the charts back home.
Listen to what he says about his Haitian employees: "I wish I had 30 more. They come to work every day, they don't have a drug problem, they will stay at their machine, they'll hit their numbers, they're here to work. That's a stark difference from what we're used to."
@mjfree Trump is the worst pos on earth. There's enough very real evidence without using this bs picture.
Where are epstein's legs? How long is that girl's arm?
😩 JESUS CHRIST!!! Cops give a brutal beating on the bridge between Ohio and Kentucky to young people who were protesting against Trump's policies and against the Genocide in Gaza.
Spread this far & wide!!!
I love that Ukraine now has free rein to hammer the shit out of strategic targets in Moscow as Putin's air defenses collapse.
Russia is losing this war. Crimea will fall soon.
Putin should avoid...windows.
The cost of the Iran War has been massive. Direct military costs will likely approach $100 billion.
But the total could be closer to $1 trillion when long-term costs from inflation impacts, debt interest payments, and veterans’ benefits are included.

Ho-lee-shit!!!
Thanks to journalist Katie Phang and Trump's corrupt and incompetent acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the Epstein files are about to explode into one of the biggest scandals in American history.
A federal judge dropped a bombshell ruling Thursday, ordering the Justice Department to stop protecting explosive documents that the Trump administration has desperately fought to keep hidden from the public.
U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan slammed the DOJ, siding with Katie Phang in the first-ever lawsuit enforcing the Epstein Files Transparency Act — a bill that passed Congress with near-unanimous support in 2025.
Now Acting AG Todd Blanche is forced to explain why he's been illegally blocking the release of shocking material, including:
ㆍ Names redacted from emails referencing a "torture video" and sexual activity with minors
ㆍ Identities of co-conspirators listed in a draft federal indictment
ㆍ FBI interview notes from a victim who says Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump when she was just 13 years old — and that Trump assaulted her
Instead of doing his job, Blanche arrogantly claimed the court had zero authority to even hear the case. That gamble just blew up in his face.
When you refuse to contest the allegations in federal court, those allegations are legally admitted. Judge Sullivan called it straight:
"The Attorney General has conceded that he is in violation of the Act."
Blanche also never reviewed foreign-language documents in the files and has blown past the legal deadline (December 19, 2025) to explain his shady redactions — by more than six months.
This ruling is massive because the original transparency law had no real teeth. Katie Phang's legal team cleverly used the Administrative Procedure Act to crack the door wide open. Now any journalist, researcher, or watchdog can walk through it.
The judge flat-out rejected the DOJ's excuses. "There is no competing harm to the government” from simply following the law," he wrote.
