[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

This is what Trump did on 9/11.

[Dr. MemeNstein 🇺🇸🦅 @Coste1Costello]

🟥 BREAKING: Trump just told a room of 9/11 families that two firefighters grabbed him under the arms and ran him out of the rubble.

He's on tape. Four miles away in Midtown. On the phone.

Invoke the 25th. Now.

[Sandi Bachom 📹 @sandibachom]

Trump is rewriting history about 9/11 the way he rewrote the history of January 6. I was there for both events.

You couldn’t get to ground zero nobody could the security was a military checkpoints that was so blocked down only rescue workers firefighters ironworkers. No civilians.

What Trump did do which was just so vile was he called into one of the TV shows and he said now he had the tallest building in Manhattan. I heard him say it

“If you take anything away from my years speaking out about DJT and his noxious brood let it be how closely they have been intertwined with Russia and China since his days as a reality show host and real estate developer.

Trump rented entire floors in his building to China’s largest bank when I worked on the TV show with him. ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ guest lists were a who’s who of the Russian underworld - and this was no secret to Mark Burnett who also sought to curry favor with Russia.

What appeared to be mindless reality show television was a front of sorts for a deeply nefarious criminal enterprise. The NDAs were not by accident - and were not just about Donald’s drug-induced incontinence, prolific use of racial slurs and illiteracy. They were meant to shield a much darker reality beyond the soundstage lights.

If Trump has an attribute that makes his criminality so pervasive, it is his ability to do the unthinkable in plain sight.

His strategy has always been hinged on an audacious desire to publicly pursue feeding his personal demons and defects of character. A man who lusted after and committed multiple crimes against young girls sought and received a television contract to produce ‘Miss Teen USA’. This only happens with Donald Trump - and we must make sure it never happens again - and never stop fighting to hold him accountable on behalf of his many victims and the brave survivors of his predation.

Also, not to lose sight of the fact that he did not act alone; the kompromat gleaned from his involvement with sex trafficking was used to expedite his rise to power. I believe it also reaches into SCOTUS and the Federalist Society’s hold over our judiciary.

Their awful ideology is baked in sin despite their pious overtures towards Conservative Christianity. It is a front for an evil movement that seeks to destroy democracy - and has been more successful than any outside adversary.

Remember their names when this is all over and do not let them slink back into the shadows. The Trump enablers will scurry for the bushes, and right wing podcasts, to eat away at our republic all over again if we do not hold them accountable.”https://t.co/Og3sRnvA4K

On the morning of September 11, 2001, Roselle, a calm, golden‑furred guide dog, rode the elevator up to the 78th floor of the North Tower with her owner, Michael Hingson. To everyone else, it was just another Tuesday. To Roselle, it was a job: stay close, stay steady, keep her human safe.

When the first plane hit, the entire building lurched like a ship struck by a wave. Lights flickered. Ceilings cracked. Papers rained down like snow. People screamed. But Roselle didn’t. She simply pressed her body against Michael’s leg, a silent message: I’m here. Follow me.

Smoke began to fill the hallway. The air tasted like burning metal. Sirens wailed from every direction. Yet Roselle walked forward with the same steady pace she used every day, guiding Michael to the stairwell.

Behind them, dozens of terrified people followed her tail like a beacon. Step by step, floor by floor, she led them downward through the choking darkness. The stairwell shook. The heat intensified. But Roselle never sped up, never panicked, never once broke her rhythm. She knew that if she stayed calm, her human would too.

Somewhere around the 30th floor, a woman froze, sobbing, unable to move. Roselle stopped. She nudged the woman gently, leaning her warm body against her leg until her breathing slowed. Only when the woman whispered, “Okay… okay,” did Roselle continue the descent.

It took nearly an hour to reach the lobby. Firefighters shouted for everyone to run. The tower groaned above them. Roselle guided Michael through the chaos, out into the blinding sunlight, and down the street, refusing to stop until she sensed they were finally safe.

Minutes later, the North Tower collapsed.

Roselle didn’t know she had just saved her owner’s life. She didn’t know she had led more than a dozen people to safety. She didn’t know she had become a symbol of courage around the world.
She only knew one thing: her human was alive, and she had done her job.

Most people know Roselle guided her blind owner down 78 floors of the North Tower, but very few know what happened after they escaped. As the tower collapsed behind them, a massive cloud of ash and debris roared through the streets like a tidal wave. Michael couldn’t see it coming, but Roselle could. Instead of panicking, she leaned her entire body into him and pulled forward with absolute determination, guiding him through a darkness so thick he couldn’t breathe or hear. Even as the ground shook and people screamed around them, Roselle never once broke her pace. Her training didn’t tell her what to do, her loyalty did.

BREAKING: “JANE DOE” IN EPSTEIN CASE IDENTIFIED! Woman behind massive $72.5 MILLION lawsuit reveals her identity for the FIRST TIME – and tells how she escaped Epstein’s “CULT!”

For more than a year, the Epstein survivor at the center of a massive lawsuit against Bank of America was known to the public only as “Jane Doe.” Now she has a name and a face.

Julia Molchanova, 37, has revealed her identity for the first time in a blockbuster new Wall Street Journal investigation – telling the harrowing story of how Jeffrey Epstein ensnared her when she was just 22 years old.

Molchanova was a young Russian design student who spoke little English when she met Epstein by chance on a New York City street in 2011. He offered to help her get into the Fashion Institute of Technology.

Instead, Molchanova says, he sexually abused her and pulled her into a nightmare that consumed years of her life.

“It was like a cult,” Molchanova told the Journal. “He was very manipulative.”

Epstein controlled what she wore, how long she kept her hair, which doctors she saw, whom she spent time with and how she spent her money, she says. He even had a company put in her name without telling her and used it for financial transactions she didn’t understand and he didn't explain.

Then, in early 2019, Molchanova discovered credit cards and spending she didn’t recognize and started demanding answers.
She wanted to see her tax returns, wanted out of the company and finally confronted Epstein, telling him she wanted to “have my normal life.”

Epstein summoned her to Palm Beach, but Molchanova was terrified to go. “I thought for sure, at that moment, someone would find me on the bottom of his pool if I go." Shortly after, Epstein was arrested on federal sex trafficking charges.

Molchanova went on to become “Jane Doe,” the lead plaintiff in a class-action lawsuit accusing Bank of America of knowingly helping Epstein maintain the financial network serving his sex-trafficking operation despite glaring warning signs.

The bank denied wrongdoing, but agreed to pay $72.5 MILLION to settle the case. The money will go to dozens of Epstein survivors.

Molchanova also pointed to the institutional failure that allowed Epstein to evade justice before he lured her into his web, despite his earlier prosecution for sexually abusing girls.

“The man was supposed to be in jail,” Molchanova told WSJ. “It was the system that failed us.”

That may be the most important line in her entire story.

The payout is a major victory for Epstein’s survivors. But no settlement can start to answer all of the questions that still surround one of the most disturbing sex-trafficking scandals in modern American history – or explain how a wealthy, well-connected predator was allowed to operate for so long.

The Epstein files cannot be allowed to quietly disappear from public attention. Molchanova’s story puts a human face on what is at stake: a young woman who says Epstein controlled her body, her money and her life, who became so frightened of him that she believed answering his summons could get her killed.

She escaped. She fought back. She helped win $72.5 million for his survivors.

Now the world knows her name.

Hunter Biden: "Every Israeli PM since Jimmy Carter has requested to invade or bomb Iran. Every single president has declined to do that. They knew that they would shut down the Strait of Hormuz. Whose interest was Donald Trump promoting by doing that? Israel, maybe. It's Russia. Russia has benefited more than any other country because of what we've done in Iran. The cost of oil has saved them."

They took memory cards from us and made us pay for storage. They took CDs and DVDs and made us pay for streaming. They took software you could buy once and turned it into a monthly subscription. They took ownership, convenience, and basically everything that used to be a one-time purchase… then somehow made us pay for it every month.

[skumm🧊 @skumWgmi]

just got off the phone with my university friend.

His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in March.

He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.

5 months later:
Savings wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided weren't their problem.

He told me he's not the same person anymore.

Said watching your child fight for her life while simultaneously fighting an insurance company over coverage codes does something to you that doesn't go away.

They did everything right.
Two incomes. No debt. Responsible their whole lives.

One diagnosis all of it in 7 months.

And somewhere a health insurance CEO is getting $35 million bonus this quarter.

I don't know how people defend this system with a straight face.

i really don't.

WOW: Republican Jon Husted received over $100k in campaign donations from an Epstein associate.

Weeks later, he voted against the release of the Epstein files.
