This would amount to a complete capitulation from the US.

Literally no way to even attempt to spin this as a win.

It must be so frustrating to be a Conservative politician and to have all these fantastic ideas for how to make the country better so soon after having 14 years in power when all they did was make the country worse.

A group of females went to the Capitol and brought pictures of all the people that have lost their lives by the hands of ICE. They were immediately put in handcuffs and arrested even though they were there being peaceful exercising their second amendment right to free speech.

The docs released here say the FBI was investigating whether Trump was "wittingly or unwittingly" manipulated by the Russians — a potential counterintelligence threat. The investigation was handed to Mueller the next day. https://t.co/f7FuNrHLyJ

The rank of general is not a costume. It is earned through service, sacrifice and the responsibility of leading troops.

Donald Trump avoided the draft five times. Now he posts AI images of himself beside Patton and MacArthur.

He can play general. I retired as one.

Leadership Matters!!

New Mexico AG @TorrezforNM sued the DOJ on Monday, accusing it of blocking their investigation into Epstein’s ranch.

The lawsuit states that Todd Blanche had taken steps that “actively harm victims interests.” We demand a full investigation into Epstein’s ranch. @RepThomasMassie

Trump is absolutely going insane in Las Vegas tonight, claiming people have a disease when they drive in an electric car.

"You ever see the signs? You're driving along in an electric car? They have a disease, you know, it's a disease where it's called, like, they get screwed up, they're driving, and they realize the battery's getting low."

Former Olympian David Hearn is asking a judge to dismiss the discredited Reflecting Pool criminal case with prejudice, to prevent Trump Admin from attempting to bring the case again:

"The President has publicly stated that he disagrees with dismissal of the case and continues to falsely claim that the damage was caused by vandals-dismissal without prejudice is plainly insufficient. Allowing the government to dismiss the case without foreclosing future prosecution would leave Mr. Hearn exposed to continued harassment based on the same discredited allegations"

JD Vance,you do know what his name is.
Trump.
And you know he’s “committing fraud against the American people”.

But “all of (you) in public leadership” aren’t “trying to stop it and try to throw (him) in prison for enriching (himself & his family) off of the American taxpayer”.

Vance’s boss, the president, has pardoned more than 70 fraudsters, some of whom defrauded people in the billions of dollars.

Michael Clarke: Last night, Ukraine attacked a Wildberries warehouse in Tula region. This was 14th of 15 biggest Wildberries warehouses.

Wildberries now suffered attacks, destruction, or damage to 60% of its warehousing capacity.

It's cost them $3 billion worth of stock so far. Wildberries is also most indebted company in whole of Russia.

It's carrying about $10 billion worth of debt. Most of that debt is held by state-sponsored, state-directed VTB Bank.

Thinking in Kyiv seems to be that if they can bring down Wildberries, maybe they can bring down VTB Bank.

To start crisis throughout banking sector in Russia, and make Russian economy even more fragile.

And also to make it difficult for Putin to draw from it the war material that he wants.

As an American, I am outraged that my government is stealing resources that belong to the Venezuelan people, and embarrassed that an American president would actually brag publicly about such imperial behavior. Hope this policy will change in 2029.

We've got every House Democrat signed on to our discharge petition to permanently reject President Trump's corrupt $1.8 billion slush fund, his payoffs to MAGA foot soldiers and his corrupt Super Pardon.

We need just six self-respecting Republicans to join us to protect taxpayer dollars and end this gargantuan ripoff of the public treasury.

BREAKING: Bari Weiss's CBS News gets caught sweeping a MAJOR Jeffrey Epstein story under the rug, proving once and for all that the brand is now full-blown MAGA.

This is absolutely inexcusable...

"Bari Weiss now an intricate part of the Epstein cover up," Ryan Grim of Drop Site News wrote on X.

He was reacting to a bombshell story in Bloomberg which revealed that Deutsche Bank AG "failed to promptly report to US authorities" over $250 million in "suspicious transactions tied to Jeffrey Epstein." Some of those funds were used to pay women in Russia and Eastern European countries, a major red flag for sex trafficking investigators.

The stunning news was disclosed by Senator Ron Wyden in a new report entitled "Looking the Other Way: How Wall Street Banks Enabled Jeffrey Epstein’s Sex Trafficking.”

The report also details how Bank of America Corp. reported "$170 million in Epstein-related transactions connected to billionaire Leon Black," but only did so five to seven years after the transactions took place. In other words, after the parties involved had ample time to cover their tracks.

In a sane country, Wyden's efforts to uncover the truth over the course of several years would have been bipartisan. But since Republicans control Congress and their party leader is deeply implicated in the Epstein files, Wyden was limited in his ability to obtain documents and interview witnesses. In the report, he criticized Republicans for their blatant obstructionism.

But it's one particular detail in Wyden's report that's drawing attention to Weiss. The senator stated that he was interviewed back in March by then-60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi for a segment on the connection between Wall Street banks, the government of the U.S. Virgins Islands, and Epstein.

Alfonsi was later fired for criticizing CBS News' leadership, specifically editor-in-chief Weiss, regarding a different segment.

The Epstein story never aired.

So what are we to make of this beyond the obvious, which is that Weiss has completely destroy CBS's credibility and integrity?

There are a few explanations at play. Weiss was installed by Trump ally Larry Ellison to steer the network's coverage in a more MAGA-friendly direction. She has enthusiastically done just that. Suppressing Epstein stories keeps the scandal out of the news, which helps Trump since he was clearly buried to the hilt in the late pedophile's predations. It's also worth noting that Weiss’s wife Nellie Bowles appears in the Epstein files.

The second explanation involves a more macro-analysis. Outside of shielding just Trump, Weiss is committed to upholding the status quo more broadly. She has failed upward in this world despite her lack of morals or discernible intellect by flattering the prejudices of powerful oligarchs. Exposing the big banks for being involved with — or at the very least turning a blind eye to — Epstein's sex trafficking empire would mean implicating the epicenter of American capitalist power. Once journalists start pulling threads on the banks, everything could come unraveled. These are institutions that launder money for drug cartels and shuttle money back and forth for the same intelligence agencies that Epstein was clearly in bed with. Dig into him, and all the rot comes spilling into the open.

Please ❤️ and share to demand that Bari Weiss resign in shame!
