@MichaelCohen212@RepBoebert Promoting his investment in "UFC history" for a small segment of the nation while he continues to try to rewrite the history of America.

The Trump administration took the names of nine enslaved people off a memorial at George Washington's home. A judge ordered them back.
That memorial sits at the site of George Washington's presidential home in Philadelphia, and the order to restore it came Friday from U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley in Boston.
Her ruling forces the Interior Department to put back the slavery exhibit there, along with the signs and displays it pulled from parks and monuments nationwide because, in the government's own words, they "do not align with its preferred narrative."
The fight comes down to one question: who gets to be in the story of America?
This administration decided it could delete the people it found inconvenient. The judge said no.
It started with an executive order Trump signed in March 2025, "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History."
The order claimed a "revisionist movement" had smeared the country as "inherently racist, sexist, oppressive, or otherwise irredeemably flawed," and sent the Interior Department into the parks to scrub anything that fit. It named one target directly: Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, where the nation declared that all men are created equal.
That is where you see what the words meant. The Park Service took down the memorial to the nine people Washington enslaved at his presidential home.
Those were the same people who cooked and cleaned and were owned by the first president while he ran the new republic. Their names stood on that wall until this administration decided visitors should not have to read them.
Another judge had already ordered that one restored. She compared the government's claim that it gets to decide which history is true to the Ministry of Truth in Orwell's "1984."
Kelley went wider. Her order swept in exhibits on abolition, immigration, labor, women's suffrage, civil rights, and the climate, quietly pulled from sites including Fort Sumter and the Grand Canyon.
She did not soften it. The government, she wrote, had tried to "rewrite the Nation's history with a white-out pen," telling "half-truths" about the country it claims to honor.
The Interior Department's entire response was to call her a "liberal activist judge" and threaten an appeal.
It had no answer for the white-out pen, because there isn't one. Slavery happened. The people who built this country existed, and their names were carved into a wall in Philadelphia until someone here decided to erase them.
America turns two hundred and fifty this year. This administration's idea of honoring that was to pick which Americans were allowed in the story.
The white-out pen is going back in the drawer. The names go back on the wall, by the Fourth of July, by court order.

Trump and his administration trying to rewrite the history of America to fit their racist ideology.

A coal plant that should be dead just got resurrected with YOUR tax dollars. 💵
The Merom Generating Station in Indiana was scheduled to close in 2023. Instead, the administration just handed it $27 million, invoking the Defense Production Act of 1950.
Same playbook. Different law. It's systemic. Just like the 1872 Mining Act. Just like the Antiquities Act. Another dusty backdoor law pulled out of history and bent to serve industry, this time to bail out coal so it can power data centers.
The communities living near Merom don't get cheaper electricity. What they get is coal ash. Unlined ponds full of it, sitting in the ground next to their water supply, leaching arsenic and mercury at levels 40 times the federal safe drinking water standard.
Those ponds were already decades without real oversight. A 2024 rule finally set cleanup deadlines. The administration just pushed those deadlines back another 3 years, giving utility companies until 2031 to even begin groundwater monitoring while people live downstream right now.
Merom is now locked into a 12-year contract powering data centers through 2040. The ash stays. The water stays contaminated. And a 75-year-old wartime law just made it all possible.
Who's going to tell Indiana families their water got traded for data center electricity?⚡️

"No you are fourteen."
Epstein corrected a victim who said she was 17. FBI serial EFTA01699140.
She had been instructed to say 17. She visited his Palm Beach residence over 100 times.
The People’s House has entered its sponsorship era.
The president owns UFC stock. A million-dollar fundraiser is tied to the event. Commemorative merchandise is already being sold.
Is the Hatch Act just not a thing anymore?
@cwebbonline@jcascione1 Nope. Trump doesn't believe in American traditions or rules or ethics that aren't clearly defined laws with a lawsuit precedent, so he always finds a loophole, or sues into oblivion.
UnAmerican.
- Daniel Cormier tweeted screenshot of Eric Trump's DMs asking for inside info on fighters.
- Dana White called Cormier and told him to delete or he's out of a job.
- Cormier deletes.
The crime doesn't stop.
Turning the White House into a UFC venue was disgraceful enough—but allowing UFC fighter Josh Hokit to stand on that historic stage and spew vile conspiracy theories that "Michelle Obama is a man" is an absolute abomination.
When the People’s House is handed over to bullies to promote hate, it insults the very fabric of American democracy. This rot cannot be normalized.
Russia is burning a cathedral older than Moscow itself
While putin lies in your face about “spiritual values” and “defending believers.”
putin's regime doesn't have any values besides murder, rape and destruction
"What none of them apparently did: ask whether the allegations against their boss had merit. Not once. Not raised. Not even Bongino, who is Black's unlikely near-hero for the piece - Bongino's objection was to the botched rollout, not to the underlying situation that made a rol"
Michael Ian Black's piece has one observation that cuts through everything else written about the Epstein files this week.
The senior officials who gathered in the Situation Room last July - Vance, Wiles, Blanche, Leavitt, Cheung, Patel - spent hours strategizing about how to protect Trump from the political fallout. They workshopped options. They debated whether to call Tucker Carlson or use DOJ lawyers instead. They reportedly discussed nipples in the White House Situation Room. One official described it as "surreal."
What none of them apparently did: ask whether the allegations against their boss had merit. Not once. Not raised. Not even Bongino, who is Black's unlikely near-hero for the piece - Bongino's objection was to the botched rollout, not to the underlying situation that made a rollout necessary.
The documentable facts now in the record: Trump flew on Epstein's plane at least eight times after claiming he hadn't. Trump denied writing the birthday letter, then the Wall Street Journal obtained it. Epstein's personal secretary testified to Congress this week that she arranged calls between Trump and Epstein shortly before the 2016 inauguration - after Trump claimed he had cut off contact in 2004.
These are not allegations about what happened on Epstein's properties. These are documented lies about a documented relationship. The people in that Situation Room knew the relationship existed. They chose to manage the politics instead of asking the question that the people they serve - the American public - would want answered.
Black closes with the names of Epstein's accusers who went public. That's the right place to close.
🚨 BREAKING: Fox News reporter casually admits the US military launched a staggering 13,000 airstrikes, completely destroying Iranian civilian infrastructure.
Now the Trump administration expects Gulf nations to pay billions to clean up their disastrous war crimes 😭🤣😂
'When I was 14, I was abused by Jeffrey Epstein. Until I was 17.'
Epstein survivor. Congress. May 2026.
DOJ made a secret deal. Never told her. Then published her name and Social Security number.
'The recent powerful remain protected. My name was exposed.'
