Epstein survivor Dani Bensky: "Todd Blanche spent approximately nine hours meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell, he did not even spend nine minutes meeting with a survivor…We need an AG committed to ensuring that everyone who facilitated Epstein's crimes is held accountable."

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it.

Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago.

IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued.

The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk.

The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit.

Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.” 

Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million.

The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out.

This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president.

Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?

@BrianRCannon So we just let Republicans get away with it in the states they have done it? (TX, NC, MO, OH). Why can't Democrats fight fire with fire. Why do they have to be "holier than thou?"

@NBCNews please replace Welker. She is not up to the job. Tim Russert would have never let Blanche get away with these lies

Deputy AG Todd Blanche: "I did not say he was violent. I said he was not protesting peacefully…He was screaming in the face of ICE. He had a phone right into ICE's face. You tell me, is that protesting peacefully?…That was not a peaceful protest."

Today is the tipping point.

A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:

"We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.

The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

Must watch: NYT just released a damning forensic analysis of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

It flatly refutes Trump administration claims — confirming the motorist was driving away, not toward the officer, and the officer was not hit by the vehicle.

@YouTubeTV If that is your attitude then prepare for the cancellations to come in droves. You have marketed yourself as an alternative to cable. If you. Ant provide the content (I.e. ESPN & Monumental Sports) then I will be canceling

@BestBuySupport I am not interested in sharing contact and billing information on Twitter. I will call customer service in the morning and cancel.

[Charles Robinett @SpfdChuck]

@bestbuy you should be ashamed by the bait and switch of your Total Tech Plan. When I initially purchased this program it covered valuable install services and shipping. Now it covers worthless items. Auto-renewing my membership while massively changing terms is disingenuous

[Charles Robinett @SpfdChuck]

@BestBuySupport Please cancel my membership and refund the payment made in February.

[Charles Robinett @SpfdChuck]

@BestBuySupport Know >> no

[Charles Robinett @SpfdChuck]

@BestBuySupport Change?! Hahah. You provided a membership of value and changed the terms to items of little to know value. Smart corporate move, but bad for your customers. Having such a change on an auto-renewing plan is sleazy and shameful.

@MatthewBerryTMR @Commanders It’s brutal that a lot of 2023 mock drafts had WAS taking C. Gonzalez or K. Hamilton who are both defensive studs.
