A right-wing political activist with close ties to Trump and senior figures in his administration has claimed that Mitch McConnell is “brain dead.” https://t.co/W3LqEXvVSG
The man is not well. He called the SBA Administrator Nicki Minaj, on camera, twice, and not a single person corrected him. How many more of these does it take before somebody admits what everyone can see; that Trump is dumb AF and his brain is mush!
BREAKING: MADAM IVANA? New Epstein witness alleges Trump’s wife helped introduce young women into the infamous pedophile’s social circle!
A former Miss Switzerland contestant is making a startling new claim about Donald Trump's late first wife, Ivana Trump, and her relationship with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Beatrice Kuhl, who says she spent time around Epstein's social circle in the 1990s, told the Daily Beast's Punch-Up newsletter that she believes Ivana played a significant role in introducing women into the wealthy financier's orbit.
Kuhl compared Ivana's role to that of Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime Epstein associate now serving a prison sentence for helping recruit and groom underage girls.
This account has not been independently verified and the Beast said it has found no evidence that Ivana Trump knew of or participated in any criminal activity. Ivana died in 2022 and was never charged with any Epstein-related offense.
Still, the allegation adds another layer to the growing scrutiny surrounding Epstein's network and the many powerful figures who moved within his social circles for decades.
The White House rejected the claims, while Trump allies continue to insist the former president has been fully exonerated of any wrongdoing connected to Epstein despite the fact that he has not.
Despite Congress passing the Epstein Transparency Act, the administration has resisted full compliance, prompting legal challenges from journalists and transparency advocates.
One of those challenges, brought by Katie Phang, recently scored a major victory when a federal judge ordered the Justice Department to either release additional records or explain why it is withholding them.
For years, Americans have been told that the full story of Epstein's world has yet to emerge.
Allegations like this are one reason the public keeps demanding answers.
🚨MCCONNELLWATCH UPDATE: Mitch has been unconscious for 3 weeks in the hospital. I believe they call that a coma. And a coma that persistent has a single digit percentage chance of recovery.
Kentucky law requires a Special Election to fill remaining term of its Senators.
A Democratic victory in a Kentucky special election would flip Mitch McConnell's seat, directly narrowing the Republican majority by one.
A woman says that Graham Platner, the Democratic nominee for US Senate in Maine, entered her home without permission and raped her while he was heavily intoxicated five years ago when they were in a casual dating relationship – an allegation that Platner denies.
"These allegations are very serious and Graham vigorously denies them," Platner's campaign said. https://t.co/ZuM81EXCzh

BREAKING: HELL YES! Anti-abortion activists SEETHE with rage as Planned Parenthood regains access to federal funding in a huge win for women!
This is a major setback for Christian Nationalism…
Republicans cut off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood clinics last year using Trump’s disastrous “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” tossing red meat to the Republican Party’s radical religious base. Due to the intricacies of Senate rules, the funding blockade could only be enforced for a one-year period.
As of July 5 that financial cutoff has expired, so Planned Parenthood can once again bill Medicaid for reimbursement for contraception and STI screenings. Roughly $800 million will now flow back into the organization.
The far-right anti-abortion group Students for Life Action is incensed over what they see as a failure by Republicans to permanently cripple Planned Parenthood. They tagged every lawmaker involved with the original bill with a failing grade on their absurd “pro life generation report card.”
“It is the default expectation of the pro-life movement for Congress to renew the defunding of Planned Parenthood and abortion businesses, and the politically smart thing for Republicans who must energize the base to win in November,” whined Kelsey Pritchard, the communications director for the Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America group.
One thing is certain, if these anti-reproductive rights activists are hollering, it means America is doing something right and women are winning!
Please ❤️ and share if you support Planned Parenthood!
