Platner: Susan Collins has gotten 21 times wealthier just in the last 15 years. Has anybody else gotten 21 times wealthier since Susan Collins was elected to office? Does Maine have 21 times the schools and hospitals? No, we have less. Susan Collins is getting rich while we're getting screwed.
This Administration has removed the achievements of the Air Force’s first female Thunderbird pilot Retired Colonel Nicole Malachowski. The removal of these articles have sparked criticism because her place in Air Force history is not a Political slogan it’s well documented.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
Rep. Thomas Massie found the Alexander brothers in the Epstein files.
The DOJ redacted their last name.
Kash Patel said there was no sex trafficking evidence in the files.
All three brothers were just convicted of it.
Sen. Ossoff: "Much of the American public are quite reasonably alarmed and asking questions after the Director of National Intelligence was spotted bizarrely and personally lurking in an FBI evidence truck in Fulton County, Georgia yesterday."
The Wall Street Journal alleges that the real motivation behind Trump’s eagerness to force Ukraine into an ugly surrender is the idea that a lot of people close to him can make a lot of money doing business and deals in Russia.
If this is true, beyond the disgusting morality of this and the huge geopolitical risks that it creates, none of these people salivating over their future riches are going to make a penny, and perhaps do a lot worse.
I was once the largest foreign investor in Russia and I can say with certainty that the Russians aren’t going to let anyone profit in any way. They will talk nice at the outset to attract the investment, but once it’s there, they will steal, defraud, arrest, torture or even kill to make sure that no American makes any money. I’ve seen it so many times it’s almost universal.
So, this shocking initiative is not only terrible policy, it’s spectacularly stupid business.

Kelly: When Trump was driving the Taj Mahal Casino into bankruptcy, I was being shot at over Iraq…. When Trump was writing birthday greetings to Epstein, I was the first on the scene to recover the bodies of my fellow astronauts… When Trump was peddling conspiracy theories against President Obama, I was sitting next to my wife’s hospital bed… I’ve been through a lot worse in service to my country. The President and Pete Hegseth are not going to silence me.
Trump bought Boeing bonds while rewarding the company billions in federal contracts.
He bought Intel bonds after directing the government to acquire a stake in the company.
He bought Meta bonds while pushing AI-friendly policy.
Trump isn’t governing — he’s cashing in.
i've rarely read a story i can identify with so completely.
like Tatiana, i had no idea that i was sick w/a deadly disease before learning i had Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
i only wish Tatiana was as lucky in her AML treatment as i've been.
God bless her

I know we're all consumed by the Lizza-Nuzzi drama but underneath this incredibly tawdry stuff is some alarming and damaging accusations and revelations about the man who runs our nation's health agencies. And it feels like he's skirting by all of it.
Mike Johnson is refusing to swear in a new Democratic member of Congress until her election results are “official” in mid-October.
He *just* swore a GOP member in on unofficial results.
All this to hide the Epstein files?
This is horrific. War criminal Erik Prince is shopping his services in Ukraine and wants access to classified info (to give to Russia). Please get him the hell out of Ukraine and ban him from ever getting in https://t.co/kuc4UxuivC
Second Epstein story by @nytimes that totally skips mentioning @MiamiHerald’s series — which is relevant here because Epstein, after my series ran in 2018, made at least two large $ transfers which led to a panic with the banks. They froze the accounts as a result. The Times is doing great work following Epstein’s money. But its omissions recognizing the Herald’s role in investigating his crimes — especially when relevant as in this case — is mind boggling. https://t.co/DbawG8CxDW
I guess it was smart of the Supreme Court to release its most racist decision since Plessy on the same day it was confirmed that Trump used his signature in the place of a vagina in his pedophile love letter/birthday card.
I'll admit, I can't top that.
