@Angry_Staffer Wasn’t that the super secret op sent to Jeffrey Goldberg, Editor of the Atlantic as part of illegal Signal Chat with Mike Walz and sippy Hegseth?
The fact that the Epstein Estate ACTUALLY PAID a settlement to one of the women who alleged that Donald Trump raped her as a minor, and it was paid AFTER Epstein died, as told under oath by Epstein's longtime accountant, should be a more significant story.
In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.
Senator Whitehouse’s Top 10 list of Trump’s favours for putin.
If you still think the 'America First' slogan applies to anyone other than putin, this list is going to be a massive reality check. Whitehouse lays out ten distinct times recently where the Trump administration didn't just 'negotiate'—they basically functioned as the Kremlin’s high-end concierge service.
From freezing weapons for Ukraine while they were literally under fire, to rolling out the red carpet in Alaska for a dictator, the pattern is so consistent it’s borderline predictable.
As Whitehouse points out, quoting the late John McCain, Russia is essentially a 'gas station run by gangsters.' So why is the 'most powerful man in the world' acting like he’s the one working the night shift at the Russian pump?
Here is Senator Sheldon Whitehouse walking through Trump’s pro‑Kremlin moves.
“Here's a sampling of what Trump has done for Russia just lately and usually at the expense of American interests. There are many, but here's a top ten.
One. After Trump and Vice President Vance theatrically chastised the heroic Ukrainian President Zelensky in front of TV cameras in the Oval Office last year, Trump paused our weapons shipments to Ukraine.
Two. In July, during the worst Russian bombing campaign of the war until that point, Trump paused an already funded weapons shipment for Ukraine, including the Patriot interceptors that protect civilians from putin’s savage attacks.
Three. That same month, Trump's Treasury Department stopped imposing new sanctions and closing sanctions loopholes, effectively allowing dummy corporations to send funds, chips, and military equipment to Russia.
Four. Leaked phone calls show that White House envoy Steve Wittkoff and putin envoy Kirill Dmitriev have worked together closely behind the scenes on a peace deal favorable to Russia.
Five. Last summer, Trump rolled out the presidential red carpet for the Russian dictator on American soil, with a summit in Alaska that yielded, unsurprisingly, no gains toward ending the war in Ukraine.
Six. Trump's Vice President traveled to the Munich Security Conference last year to parrot Russia's anti-Western talking points, pushed by right-wing groups that putin has long funded and used to create political strife in Europe.
Seven. Trump installed Russia apologist Tulsi Gabbard as his Director of National Intelligence, much to the glee of Russian state media.
Eight. Upon the confirmation of Trump's Attorney General Pam Bondi, the Department of Justice shuttered its anti-kleptocracy work that had successfully targeted putin’s Russian oligarchs.
Nine. Late last year, Trump unveiled a new so-called national security strategy, which abandoned traditional alliances in Europe and favored a transactional foreign policy that the Kremlin praised as largely consistent with Moscow's vision and desires.
Ten. The Trump administration has even paving the way for Russia's return to global sports competition, ending its isolation in those arenas in the wake of the hostile Ukraine invasion and state-backed systemic doping programs in Russia.
That's a top ten, but the list goes on.
If Trump were purposefully doing Russia’s bidding, it is hard to see what he would be doing differently.
The United States is the most powerful nation in the world. Russia is a weak, corrupt regime.
My old friend Senator John McCain used to say that Russia is a gas station run by gangsters with an army.
It doesn’t make sense that the President of the United States—who insists, insists on being dominant in essentially every relationship—is so submissive to one person. And that one person is Russia’s dictator, vladimir putin.
So what is it about Trump..."
Sascha Riley is a member of the U.S. military who was sex trafficked as a boy by his father to Jeffrey Epstein.
He recalls being sexually assaulted by Donald Trump, Lindsey Graham and possibly Clarence Thomas.
He’s the boy in the pink shirt.
This isn’t just about partisanship… Lindsey Graham is dangerous and he needs to go. SC and the nation will be better for it!

Why did Fox News find old footage and splice it into new footage to trick its viewers? Because Fox News knew that trump was being undignified at the dignified transfer ceremony for six American heroes.
Corey Lewandowski appears to have treated the Department of Homeland Security like his personal slush fund, steering contracts, bullying staff, and operating in the shadows while billions in taxpayer dollars were at stake. If these allegations are true, it’s blatant corruption. Congress and federal investigators must follow the money and hold him accountable to the fullest extent of the law. https://t.co/Ia7Azvepla
A year ago we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebate checks, DOGE was going to find $2 trillion in waste to balance the budget, we were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything, gas & home electric bills would be cut in half, and no new wars.
