‼️NEW: Susan Collins stonewalled reporters and voted to block the release of the Epstein files — while taking money from his associates. - @MeidasTouch

Epstein-tied donors:

- Casey Wasserman: $10,000. (Sept 2025) A Close Epstein/Maxwell friend who flew on the plane & exchanged explicit emails with Ghislaine. Hosted a fundraiser for Collins.

-Leon Black: $2,800. An Epstein associate for decades; socialized & dined with him. Accused of sexual assault (denied).

- Elon Musk: $2,800. Featured in Epstein files for emails about parties & island meetup after Epstein’s 2008 conviction.

- Stephen Schwarzman (Blackstone CEO): $3M to Collins-supporting Super PAC — Co-founder of Epstein’s Core Club where he “lurked.”

Votes & actions to block files release (Sept 2025):

- Voted with Republicans to defeat Democratic effort to force release of the files in the defense appropriations bill.

- Voted to table amendment directing DOJ to release the files (51-49; only Hawley & Paul opposed tabling).

As usual, Collins stonewalled questions and stood silent as Trump deflected. The campaign contributions flowed in while she blocked transparency.

Army Pvt. Isabella Gonzales was killed by an Iranian strike in Jordan — she was just 19 years old. 

Our gratitude for her service should not be mistaken for acceptance of her death.

We should not be sending our brave men and women like Isabella to die in another forever war.

When 9/11 happened the immediate response from Canada's first responders was that they were going. People packed and were ready to head to NYC before even getting the order to go! Our president is a giant demented embarrassment.

NEWS: WV GOP Assistant Majority Leader Elliott Pritt has been arrested and charged with enticing a minor after allegedly grooming a 15-year-old through Roblox and Snapchat, then having her meet him in his classroom.

GOP leadership won't call for his resignation.

Zohran Mamdani: “A lot of what we’ve come to accept as the facts of life across our country is driven by democratic socialist principles. If today you and I were to introduce the idea of a building that lends out books for free, we would be slandered in the same way that so many new ideas are slandered today and yet that’s the library. And the same thing with the fire department and the same thing with public schools”

Trump just pardoned a convicted fraudster who owed $21.7 million in restitution for defrauding investors.

His name is Adam Kidan. He donated millions to Republican campaigns and groups, including more than $270,000 to Trump’s political committees in 2024, and helped host a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago.

Now, his pardon appears to have erased whatever restitution he still owed.

Welcome to Episode 10 of the Pardon Papers.

Meet the senior staff running Mitch McConnell's DC office. You pay their salaries. You're entitled to know what they're keeping from us.

Let them know how you feel.

Republicans voted to strip the right of unaccompanied kids to have a lawyer represent them in immigration court.

We're talking about kids who are as young as 18 months old who will now be left to fend for themselves in front of the government.

Russ Clark, a retired U.S. Marine Corps infantry commander who served in Vietnam and holds a graduate degree in mental health counseling, issued a scathing assessment of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, stating that his ten-year acquaintance with Hegseth allowed him to diagnose the defense secretary as "an arrogant, inebriated, misogynistic, cruel, sadistic, adolescent psychopath" who is now "controlling the strongest military in world history like he's playing a video game".
Clark's post on Threads (March 2026), carries particular weight given his credentials as both a combat veteran and retired United Methodist minister who now serves as a chaplain to veterans.

Police arrest woman protesting ICE—for holding sign on public sidewalk.

Video clearly shows woman just peacefully standing quietly.

"I do not consent to be searched!" she yells as male officers take everything off her.

Her sign reads: "Nobody is free until we are all free."

Incident occurred outside the ICE processing facility in Broadview, Illinois.

JUST IN: Trump plans to dramatically raise the cost of imported generic medications for Americans.

A 100% import tax starting August 1, 2028, then 200% starting August 1, 2029.

Sadistic cruelty, barbaric pleasure, vengeance against perceived enemies... Whatever the fuck it is, today Trump sycophant Dr. Oz announced the fascist authoritarian Trump regime would withhold nearly $1 billion in Medicaid payments to California. Make no mistake, American citizens will go bankrupt and die — including children.

ICE crash their vehicle into passenger side of work van—man rushed to hospital with severe injuries.

Now his family has no idea where he is.

It's been 2 days.

After ramming into his work van agents "pile on top of him, punch him, and electrocute him," said cousin.

Injuries he received include—cervical sprain, face contusions, broken nose, knocked out teeth, arm bruises, and trouble breathing.

More than 48 hours later—his family has received no medical updates.

Marco Antonio Roblero Pérez, age 25, is also not locatable in the ICE detainee database.

During his one allotted 5-minute call he told his cousin that agents took him out of his hospital bed—drove him "somewhere about 3 hours away."

The traffic stop occurred in Doraville, Georgia.
