The intense media focus on Graham Platner is understandable. He is an unknown in a crucial Senate race with a lot of baggage. Less understandable is the lack of coverage of Ken Paxton, whose sins are far worse. That it is “old news” is no excuse. Most voters have no clue.

🚨 🔥 BREAKING: The Butler Story Just Got Stranger.

Newly released FBI records reportedly show a Butler County Sheriff’s deputy exchanged emails with Thomas Crooks before the July 13 assassination attempt against Trump.

The problem?

The records are heavily redacted.

That’s why this disclosure raises more questions than it answers.

What was discussed?

Why were they communicating?

And why is so much of it still being withheld?

The more information that comes out about Butler, the less settled the story seems to become.

[ALUTHEDON @Mbakaza4L]

Just imagine how dark and satanic those files must be that they had to start an actual war just to distract people to bury them

We pay them $3.8B to do this btw

A new study by Katherine Pompilio reveals for the first time that almost one in 16 Jan. 6 insurrectionists subject to the president’s clemency order has been arrested for and charged with—and in the vast majority of cases convicted of—other crimes. https://t.co/nsCLyc21bR

Goldman Sachs then Deutsch. That’s quite the resume for the son of a Supreme Court Justice who unexpectedly resigned the day SCOTUS said there were no major announcements, only after Kennedy had been called to the White House by POTUS. Yet another string that needs to be pulled.

@ChristopherHale @BasedMikeLee It's all bullshit but you're complaining that the bullshit is bullshit because you're bullshit about the particular bullshit. That's the recap

[Ethan Levins 🇺🇸 @EthanLevins2]

Trump has BANNED the ONLY American UFC Champion at the White House for criticizing Israel.

This is treason.

[Covie @covie_93]

Which one??

You can't make it up.

@StephenM Most of the FISA judges are federal judges from outside of DC, and we’re talking about warrants for the FBI to search the databases, not the Secretary of War… unless the Secretary of War is targeting America citizens… is there something you want to tell us?

Kyle Kulinski on Platner: “If you’re a so-called liberal and feeding into this smear campaign, let me be clear: you are a fucking traitor and you don’t give a shit about taking down MAGA. You’re a useful idiot for the fascist war criminal pedophile rapist that is Donald Trump”

Breaking NYT:

Trump just pardoned Stephen E. Buyer, a former Republican representative from Indiana who was convicted of insider trading in 2023. https://t.co/k4fOt4Zi1A

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

Seems like a bait and switch. After predictable outcry, Trump DOJ pulls back slush fund for insurrectionists, but retains tax immunity for Trump. Was that the plan all along? It’s all corrupt.

Ummmmm.... Why would the Butler, PA Sheriff's Dept. be exchanging emails (plural) with the assassin... BEFORE the day of the assassination attempt?

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Actual Maine voters continue to back Graham Platner:

“The Democratic party’s come up short in a lot of ways in terms of like whitewashing our candidates and being so morally elitist and kind of entitled at times. We have to be willing to get dirty”

“His baggage is nowhere near their baggage. We’re talking about people that are felons and people that take bribes”

“I really kind of think that we all have skeletons in our closet and we’ve all made mistakes especially when we’re younger”

[American Veteran @amvetsupport]

MAGA vets. Weigh in.

With the recent ICE funding, ICE now has more money that the entire United States Marine Corps. There are 204,000 marines and 28,000 ICE personnel. ICE now has 85 billion. The entire marine budget is 54 billion. This is absolutely insane.

What the holy hell is wrong with Congress. More importantly, what the hell did veterans vote for to give trump his own army?

[Maj. (Ret.) Richard Ojeda @Ojeda4America]

Trump’s new acting director of national intelligence has never even received an intelligence briefing before this Thursday.

For context, the White House janitorial staff held a higher security clearance than the new Intelligence Director.

This is DANGEROUS.

@DonnyDeutsch If Zohran didn’t show up you’d insult him for that too.
Do us all a favor and get fucked.
