@krassenstein Right after his promise to release the names of those implicated in the Epstein files?

BREAKING: The BBC has turned Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against them into a January 6 trial against Trump

The BBC is arguing that to win his defamation case, Trump has to prove he did not foment or incite the riot.

Mike Lawler doesn't have a line. He votes one way, and that's Donald Trump's way. That's why his voting record has been one hundred percent aligned with Donald Trump's agenda over the people of NY-17.

Stephen Miller: I can't call Talarico a man. Who knows what gender he is. He's a weird, strange, bizarre, totally unelectable human that is never, ever, ever going to be the senator from the great state of Texas.

Kathy Hochul and Zohran Mamdani are driving New Yorkers out of the state with higher taxes and more spending in their new budget.

Meanwhile, 97% of Americans saw a tax cut under the Working Families Bill, and in my district, constituents saw real relief because we were able to lift the cap on SALT.

By firing Scott Pelley, editor-in-chief of CBS News Bari Weiss has single-handedly destroyed the most brilliant investigative newsmagazine in network history, 60 Minutes. Weiss exemplifies everything MAGA is about: ego, incompetence, and blithering idiocy.

Has Kathy Hochul ever drained a free throw with any Knicks players?

President @realDonaldTrump did, in a suit, alongside Jamal Crawford, Penny Hardaway, and Isiah Thomas.

It was a great honor to have President Trump in my district to speak directly to New Yorkers about the tax cuts bill and highlight what we were able to accomplish.

I’m proud to have fought to raise the SALT deduction cap from $10,000 to $40,000 and deliver real results for New York’s 17th District.

I would also like to thank President Trump for honoring Welles Crowther with the Presidential Medal of Freedom and for recognizing Yorktown’s own Sheridan Gorman.

This should be carefully examined and verified if true.

The @BBC doing what the American media should have done.

Maybe Australian media can tackle the Epstein case

Maybe Italian media can tackle our school shooting epidemic

Maybe Germany can cover selling pardons.

Just changing the gender here for the Bard: “She was not born to shame; upon her brow shame is ashamed to sit.”

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

Worth adding that Russia did as a matter of fact intervene for Trump in 2016 and that the evidence is widely known, abundant, and collected in various forms, including a Senate investigation, the Mueller report, multiple intelligence investigations, multiple reportorial investigations in the US and elsewhere, and multiple books. Leaving out that crucial fact allows the reader to miss the way this echoes prior authoritarian "investigate the investigator" moves as well as the fundamentally Orwellian character of this.

It’s simple, if @SenRubenGallego has nothing to hide, he should apply the same standard he demanded with the release of the Epstein Files to himself.

He should immediately release all text messages, emails, signal chats, social media communications, photos and videos exchanged between him and @RepSwalwell and be fully transparent with the American people.

If they were best friends, there is almost zero percent chance he didn’t know and didn’t in fact exchange some sort of communication on it.

These women deserve full accountability. Release the files!

@lawler4ny @SenRubenGallego You campaigned for a felon who had been found liable of sexual abuse.

You.

And you helped return him to the office he violently tried to steal.

Sit the fuck down.

@lawler4ny But not Trump?
