So let me get this straight…
We’re now being told JD Vance used the Situation Room to lead “war room” meetings about the Epstein fallout.
Allegations of Trump sexually abusing minors?
I thought the Situation Room was for actual wars.
Trump keeps telling everyone to move on while the Epstein story keeps getting bigger and closer to home.
Then BOOM.
We’re in a war with Iran.
A war nobody voted for, nobody wanted, and few can clearly explain.
Straits of Hormuz closed.
Gas prices skyrocket.
The entire news cycle changed overnight.
Funny how quickly Epstein disappeared from the headlines.
You can outrun a news cycle.
The print and legacy news media is a joke.
You can’t outrun Epstein forever.
WE are watching.
WE are not stupid.
WE are united in the Tired of the Bullshit party.
BREAKING: NAIL, MEET COFFIN! A federal judge rejects Trump's last ditch effort to keep his name on the Kennedy Center as his legacy crumbles before his eyes!
This is a moment worth celebrating...
U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper has officially denied the administration's request that he stay his May 29th ruling demanding the takedown. Trump was hoping that Cooper might pause his order while the appeal proceeds. The judge was having none of it.
“Defendants have not carried their burden to establish that a stay of the Court’s ... permanent injunction concerning the Kennedy Center’s renaming is warranted pending an appeal of the underlying ruling to the D.C. Circuit,” stated Cooper.
“Most notably, for the detailed reasons laid out in the Court’s ruling, Defendants have not ‘made a strong showing that [they] are likely to succeed on the merits,’ ” he continued.
Cooper pointed to the fact that the Kennedy Center Board — which is stocked to the brim with MAGA flunkies, sycophants, and toadies — has already begun taking down Trump's name from its branding ahead of the June 12th deadline as proof that no real harm is being done by his ruling.
“These efforts undermine the notion that Defendants face irreparable harm in complying with the order in full,” Cooper wrote.
“What’s more, issuance of a stay pending appeal would not be in the public interest, which is rarely served by the ‘perpetuation’ of ‘unlawful’ governmental action," he added.
The fact that Trump reacted to Cooper's May ruling by smearing him as a "crook" likely didn't help the administration's request.
Cooper previously stated that federal law “makes crystal clear” that the center is named after John F. Kennedy and nobody else.
“Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it," he wrote, adding that "it cannot bear any other formal name or public memorial based on the Board’s unilateral say-so."
While this Kennedy Center victory might seem small in the vast scope of Trump's criminality, cruelty, and corruption, it's noteworthy because of how deeply it matters to the President himself. Trump has become obsessed with slapping his name onto things, building ballrooms, and renovating pools because he knows that he has no policy legacy to leave behind. His is the greatest failed presidency in history.
Please ❤️ and share to thank Judge Cooper!
Some thoughts on the new Epstein Files revelations:
I’ve now read everything that’s come out from the new Haberman and Swan book, and the thing I keep coming back to is the Situation Room. They held multiple meetings in the Situation Room about the Epstein files. That room is for war. It’s for national security emergencies. It is not for figuring out how to spin a scandal you’re telling the country is a hoax.
While the President was deflecting or calling this old news, his own Vice President and Chief of Staff were huddled in the most leak-proof room in America because they knew how bad it really was.
You don’t take a nothingburger to the Situation Room.
And I have to be honest, reading all this brings back a lot of frustration about what happened in the House of Representatives. I sat there and watched Mike Johnson send the House home early to dodge a vote on releasing these files. I watched him refuse to swear in a duly elected colleague for months just to stall the discharge petition. Month after month of excuses, arm twisting, and procedural games, all to keep this information from the public. We only got the files because survivors, families, and a handful of members in both parties simply refused to let it go.
So when people ask me why I talk so much about transparency and accountability, this is why. The truth eventually comes out. It always does.
The only question is whether your leaders helped reveal it or helped bury it.
Everyone who voted to keep these files hidden should have to answer for that.
Finally, notice what’s missing from all of this is any sign that Trump’s DOJ will actually investigate the powerful men named in these files.
Draw your own conclusions about why a Justice Department run by the President’s former defense lawyers might not be eager to pull that thread.
BREAKING: In a shocking maneuver, Senate Republicans just BLOCKED a Democratic effort to BAN federal troops from entering polling stations or seizing ballots or voting machines. Makes you wonder what they’re planning this November…
Last night my friend @MaxwellFrostFL showed me Donald Trump’s Truth Social posting urging MAGA to expel me from Congress. Apparently Trump doesn’t appreciate our fight against his $1.776 billion slush fund or his outrageous attack against the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Sorry, Mr. President, I’m not going anywhere but back to the front lines of the fight against corruption and authoritarianism.
Hegseth removed Chappie James's portrait from the Air Force Art Gallery and left the wall empty.
James flew 179 combat missions across two wars. First Black four-star general in US military history.
Curry passed that portrait every day for a decade. When it came down, he retired.
The wall is still empty.
@epsteinsearchin@jkbjournalist All of these “interviews” should be under oath and if they haven’t been, everyone should be recalled and sworn in to testify and be videotaped as well!
