The entire White House was in on the Epstein coverup.
DOJ. FBI. The VP.
They were meeting in the Situation Room ffs.
This is INSANE.

A federal judge restored 11 clean energy grants in states that President Trump lost after attorneys acknowledged the election influenced why the funding was nixed.

Lawyers representing Energy Secretary Chris Wright were named the top defendants. https://t.co/htHh8JuHev

Absolutely incredible

Just an epic fail and surrender

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

President Trump promoted the 2026 World Cup as an opportunity to showcase the “beauty and greatness” of America. Instead, there have been airport detentions, visa denials and global criticism. https://t.co/mY5madjx7t

Hitler killed himself and Germany surrendered. Japan got nuked. Do they teach history in Ohio?

Loyal to the end. To Putin.

WTF was DOGE even for???

New reporting reveals that Trump administration officials demanded the New Mexico AG close his investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch in 2019.

This is CLEARLY a loss for the US

But hey at least we have a UFC fight

🚨 The White House May Have Just Confirmed The Most Important Part Of The Epstein Story Without Meaning To.

New reporting comes out.

The response isn't:

"None of this happened."

The response is:

"Find the leaker."

Think about the logic.

If officials are launching a leak probe, they're looking for people inside the administration who spoke to reporters.

That means they're treating the conversations as real.

New York Times investigative journalists Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman are this generation's Woodward and Bernstein.

This story is Trump's Watergate and it's about to EXPLODE:

Vice President JD Vance, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, former Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, White House Counsel David Warrington, FBI Director Kash Patel, Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, and former Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich converted the hallowed Situation Room — America's nerve center for real threats and decisive action — into a pedophile protection racket, where top officials huddled to cover-up the Epstein files scandal and protect a president who used to rape children for fun.

How about the Epstein files, or is that Iran deal as bad as rumored?

[Stephen Miller @StephenM]

New tranche of UFO files and videos just dropped.

Hegseth removed Chappie James's portrait from the Air Force Art Gallery and left the wall empty.

James flew 179 combat missions across two wars. First Black four-star general in US military history.

Curry passed that portrait every day for a decade. When it came down, he retired.
The wall is still empty.

199 Democrats and 19 Republicans voted Constitutionally against warrantless surveillance with the extension of FISA.

They defended the 4th Amendment and for some reason, @SpeakerJohnson does not like that.

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

“Adam Hoffman—an admitted child molester—is a registered sex offender in Nebraska but doesn’t have to register in Texas because Ken Paxton gave him an Epstein-style sweetheart deal. He put the well-being of pedophiles over the safety of Texas children." 😡 https://t.co/S4z0FSWvVZ

REALITY STILL EXISTS

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@JamesTalarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man.

Recently on the campaign trail I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico. Every Saturday morning, he would mow our lawn, and then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because she was a widow. My dad never talked about it — he just did it, because that's what a man does.

A man takes responsibility, upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors, and does what's right, even when no one is watching.

Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life, sell their soul to the highest bidder, or steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man, and I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.

Sportswashing is a standard tool of authoritarians, put on a grand stage at the Berlin Olympics in 1936. Like the IOC, FIFA doesn’t "stick to sports" when it does this; it provides a propaganda platform. This year's hosts are democracies, but Trump knows the game. My latest:
