The Epstein files — in which other than Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump is the second most mentioned pedophile among the approximately 6 million pages — is about to be reclassified.

BREAKING: Trump could face 20 years in federal prison for wire fraud

Trump appears to have committed wire fraud in new report

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Bill Cassidy voted to convict Trump at his second impeachment trial. Thom Tillis broke with Trump over the Ed Martin nomination and the Big Beautiful Bill. John Cornyn has quietly disagreed with Trump going back to his first term. All three are now telling reporters they'll show up to Wednesday's GOP lunch specifically to tell Trump his election bill is dead and it's time to move on.

All three are also retiring. None of them will be in office after January.

That's not a coincidence, and it's worth sitting with what it actually means. Members of Congress swear an oath to the Constitution, not to their own re-election chances. If these three only found their voice once they stopped needing votes, the honest reading isn't that they suddenly discovered courage. It's that they had the votes to check Trump the entire time and chose not to use them until using them stopped costing anything.

This is massive 👏

Saudi Arabia just delivered the biggest shock to Trump, despite being his ally.

🇺🇸Trump at 6:00 PM: "Until a deal is finalized, sanctions on Iran will remain. I will not tolerate any country breaking from this."

🇸🇦Saudi Arabia at 7:00 PM: Five ex-Saudia Boeing 777s were delivered to Iran's Mahan Air despite Trump’s sanctions. 🔥

Saudi Arabia is quietly ditching Trump.💪

Blanche's refusal to follow a court order to release the Epstein Files is a huge sign they contain rock solid evidence proving Trump's guilt.

WTF!

Stephen Miller and Republicans want to round up people with disabilities, rip them from their homes, and throw them into underfunded, understaffed, and often dirty facilities where they are left to rot.

𝐒𝐨𝐨𝐧, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦!

Miller reportedly pushed a memo through the DOJ that authorizes states to forcibly institutionalize people with disabilities rather than continue funding the community-based care we have relied on for years.

This aligns with a major element of Project 2025: cutting support for the most vulnerable.

It’s hailing at Mount Rushmore where Trump is supposed to give a speech right now.

Is a higher power is trying to send a message?

[The Green Dragon Tavern @greendragonhq]

Oops!

Donald Trump accidentally says the quiet part out loud and admits he will stop passing legislation that helps the American people until his highly unpopular SAVE Act is passed.

At best, this is a childlike temper tantrum. At worst, it’s outright treason and an abuse of power.

In any event, it’s disgusting that a President would say this.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

Whoa! Trump has lost the right-wing Bari Weiss-founded The Free Press

Trump's Art of the Self-Deal: There is no modern parallel for the scale and shamelessness with which the president is enriching himself in office.

"You do not need to think Trump is the end of American democracy, or that everything he does is evil, to see this for what it is: the biggest grift in American history."

Right now thousands of people are dying in Europe in the third consecutive heat dome. July 4th is going to feel like 110 in DC. A historic Super El Niño is going to crush the power grid. Middle East oil is barely flowing and this GREEDY FUCKING MORON is killing wind and solar.

It turns out the great egg price increase that helped topple Joe Biden's presidency was <checks notes> due to an alleged conspiracy among egg producers to artificially increase prices and the coverage of that fact is a blink-and-you-miss-it story on the NYT website 🙃

Absolutely ridiculous, laughable bogus claim as Katie Phang asked to UNredact CO-CONSPIRATORS’ names and specific information asta that did NOT mention victims, and the judge will see right through it.

@HouseGOP @SenateGOP Stop this destruction of Our House. It’s NOT his house.

[MM  @adgirlMM]

Apparently a plan was proposed in March by a Trump bootlicker appointee to replace the 200-year-old columns on the White House with more "ornate" columns that match his style.

Scaffolding has gone up. The White House says it's "routine maintenance."

Congress is silent.

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

DOJ lawyers told a federal appeals court that removing Trump's name from the Kennedy Center puts hundreds of millions of dollars in donor pledges at risk, tied to an entity called the Trump Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Foundation. Public records show that foundation didn't exist until March 18 of this year. It's a renamed version of a nonprofit the center's own board created back in 2024, before Trump was even reelected.

So the legal argument is that donations made before the entity existed need to be protected by bylaws the entity adopted after the fact. Nobody involved will say who the donors are or how much has actually been pledged.

Meanwhile nearly half the center's tickets were going unsold by October, the National Symphony Orchestra can't get its season approved and doesn't know if it'll have a building to play in, and an all staff email went out yesterday addressed to Trump Kennedy Center Staff. The renaming fight and the institution's actual survival appear to be two entirely separate emergencies happening under the same tarp.

[PBS News @NewsHour]

More than one third of U.S. adults believe violence is needed to get the country back on track, according to a new PBS News/NPR/Marist poll.

Thirty-seven percent of adults believe that Americans may have to resort to violence to get the country back on track. That includes 12% who say they strongly agree with that statement.

When Marist asked this question in October, 30% believed that violence may be necessary to course-correct the country.

Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, said the finding reflects the view that "the normal functioning of our government is not moving things quickly, or even in a way that's beneficial to innovation."

This is a view held by some on the left and some on the right, he added. Thirty-three percent of Democrats, 40% of Republicans and 35% of independents say Americans may have to use violence to get the country back on track, the poll found.

Beverly Gage, a Yale University historian, said there's historical precedent for that fervor for violence. It's been there from the nation's beginning.

What makes the current moment distinct, Gage said, is the "seeming popularity or resignation to the idea that violence might become necessary."

Dear Senators Tom Tillis, Bill Cassidy and John Cornyn,

The White House columns on the North Portico were built in 1829.

They are an iconic, historic part of the White House facade.

Nothing is stopping him from altering, or even destroying them.

Be the RETRIBUTION. 🇺🇸
