NEW: A stunning new project from @lawfare's Katherine Pompilio finds that 97 Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the Capitol riot then got arrested, charged, and/or convicted with subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported.
Bryce Mitchell on Trump's White House UFC fight:
Our government is desecrating its role in society by entertaining sports. Our government is to protect and serve the people. Our tax dollars and resources are funding this operation. The government is supposed to protect us, not entertain us.
here we go again with the Trump stolen election bullshit. here's why California takes up to 30 days to certify election results.
👏 so 👏 the 👏 results 👏 are 👏 fair 👏 and 👏 accurate 👏

NEW: I just introduced an amendment that would block Bill Pulte from being DNI.
If even half of my Republican colleagues that have privately voiced concerns about him vote for this… it should pass.
The President fell asleep on the job again today.
I’m reposting the testimony of @SecRubio yesterday where he humiliated himself by repeatedly lying to Congress to save his job.
The American people trust their own eyes.
November is coming.

I met with Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche after the Bondi hearing. It was and still is abundantly clear that Blanche is still acting as Trump’s personal attorney.
Someone who covers up for predators should not head the Department of Justice.
Republicans want to hand ICE and Border Patrol another $70 BILLION.
The kicker? The agencies are already sitting on nearly $100 billion in unobligated funds—enough to fund them for the next four years.
Completely wrong.
🔔FYI: Another Trump pardoned insurrectionist in trouble with the law again and currently in prison again.🙄
-Jake Lang, who beat Capitol police officers with a baseball bat on January 6, spent four years in federal prison on an 11-count indictment, got pardoned by Trump on day one, and was recently running for U.S. Senate in Florida, was arrested Tuesday night in Frisco, Texas on a criminal trespass warrant.
-He hopped a fence into a high school stadium to film what he claimed was dried blood from a stabbing, then posted it online for clout.
-Since his pardon he has also been charged with felony property damage in Minnesota for destroying an ice sculpture, charged with threatening a Capitol police officer, showed up outside a mosque in Plano holding a severed pig’s head, threw chocolate coins outside AIPAC while doing a Nazi salute, and dragged a goat on a leash to a protest against a Muslim mayoral candidate.
-Trump pardoned this bastard. He is currently in the Collin County jail complaining about his mattress.
-The pardon was 136 days ago.
The Revolt Inside 60 Minutes Just Got Worse.
Legendary correspondent Steve Kroft is now accusing CBS leadership of "journalistic interference."
His verdict?
"It was a slap in the face to everybody who has worked there."
Notice the pattern.
Scott Pelley says he was stonewalled.
Sharon Alfonsi says Pelley was fired for asking questions.
Now Steve Kroft says management is interfering with journalism.
At some point, this stops looking like a personnel dispute.
And starts looking like a newsroom rebellion.
Dear @SecretaryWright: Some deep questions for your deep thoughts:
-Did you know the sun still shines during winter?
-Did you know that solar panels rely on sunlight rather than warmth?
In fact, solar panels can operate even more efficiently during the winter.
Jill Biden just exposed the most painfully awkward limo ride of Melania Trump’s life.
In her new memoir “A View from the East Wing,” Jill writes about Inauguration Day 2025, when tradition required her to ride from the White House to the Capitol with Melania after the pre‑inauguration tea. It should have been a symbolic handoff between first ladies. Instead, she says, Melania sat “stone‑faced,” barely speaking, clearly furious over the FBI search of Mar‑a‑Lago for Trump’s hoard of classified documents.
Jill actually tries to show empathy: she notes that as first lady she had her own home searched by agents as part of the investigation, and that she knows “how distressing it was to have agents rummage through your underwear drawer.”
Melania, Jill writes, wasn’t having it. She blamed Joe personally, acting as if the normal chain of law‑enforcement and courts didn’t exist and the president himself had ordered a raid on her bedroom.
The tension was so thick that the inaugural committee didn’t dare put the two women alone together. Jill says they recruited Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s husband, John Bessler, as a human buffer and plopped him in the middle seat.
Bessler did what Midwestern dads do in impossible situations: he tried small talk. He asked about Barron’s studies at NYU. Melania, staring out the window, gave him a single word: “NYU.” Every attempt to shift the conversation back to something neutral — the weather, the ceremony — died in the air. In Jill’s telling, the presidents’ limo up ahead was probably tense too, but at least Joe and Trump were talking. In the first ladies’ car, it was just cold silence and one‑word answers all the way up Pennsylvania Avenue.
Jill uses the story to make a broader point: this wasn’t a one‑off. She writes that Melania declined her invitation to the traditional 2021 inauguration tea when Joe first took office, breaking a norm that has survived even the ugliest transitions.
Four years later, when the roles reversed and the Trumps came back to the White House, Melania still didn’t extend the same courtesy back. In every interaction Jill describes, Melania shows zero grace — even compared to other first ladies who have quietly swallowed humiliations and still showed up for the sake of the country.
And here’s the part that matters beyond the gossip. Trump has spent years telling his followers that the Mar‑a‑Lago search was a personal vendetta by “the Bidens,” not the result of him hiding boxes of classified nuclear and military documents in a ballroom, a bathroom, and a basement.
Melania apparently believes that narrative so deeply that she can’t even make small talk in a limo without seething. Jill, who knows firsthand what it’s like to have agents go through your things, points out the obvious subtext: it’s not the invasion of privacy Melania is truly angry about. It’s that her husband was finally treated like any other citizen who hoards national‑defense secrets and refuses to give them back.
We don’t often get honest, human‑level snapshots of what power feels like up close. This one matters because it captures the collision between entitlement and accountability.
Jill Biden is sitting there thinking about how to show a little solidarity over something painful that neither woman directly controlled. Melania Trump is sitting there convinced that nothing in her orbit — not an FBI warrant, not a criminal investigation, not even the peaceful transfer of power — should happen without her family’s permission, and furious at anyone who suggests otherwise.

In a few years, historians will write whole chapters about classified documents, indictments, and constitutional crises.
For now, it’s worth remembering this image: two first ladies in the back of a limousine, one trying to keep a fragile tradition alive, the other staring out the window, still unable to see that the law applies to her husband, too.
Todd Blanche was behind the Epstein Files cover-up, the rotten cop-beaters slush fund, and a sleazy tax fraud amnesty for the Trump family and businesses; all while causing an unprecedented "fraud on the court" investigation of the Department... 🧵
50-49: Republicans, by one vote, chose to keep Trump’s insurrectionist slush fund dream alive.
After they fumbled around for hours, we needed just one more Republican to muster the courage to end Trump’s taxpayer handout to cop beaters and felons.
As per usual, they were spineless.

As someone works in human rights, I’ve never seen anything like the Epstein files in my 15-year career
Raped
Cannibalized
Trafficked
Filmed
Terrorized
Tortured
Murdered
13, 14, 15 year children
Jeffery Epstein has every major politicians and billionaires on video doing something terrible to a child or to multiple people.
THOUSANDS have been arrested for criticising Zionism.
THOUSANDS have been arrested for social media posts.
ZERO have been arrested for raping children.
The bottom line here is the world system has become so corrupt that the time has come I think to clean the crap out of the stables and start over.
I don't understand how we're not having a global revolution right now.
Yesterday I told you the government is pulling 900 ocean monitoring instruments out of the water.
Here is the part that should make every American angry, regardless of where you stand on climate.
Congress voted to fund this network. Not once. Twice. The Trump administration proposed cutting it by 80 percent in 2025. Congress restored the money. Proposed the same cut in 2026. Congress restored the money again.
So the administration labeled it a "descope" and ordered the instruments pulled anyway.
That is not a budget disagreement. That is an executive branch telling the legislative branch that its votes do not matter. The public paid for this infrastructure. Congress protected it. One office in Washington decided the public should not have it.
This is the pattern I document in 𝑾𝒆 𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒂𝒅 𝑮𝒖𝒚𝒔. It is not about left or right. It is about who decides what Americans are allowed to know about their own planet.
Who should make that call?
NEWS: The House has passed the Ukraine Support Act, 226-195, to provide new military aid to Ukraine and impose tougher sanctions on Russia.
The bill advanced through a discharge petition despite Speaker Mike Johnson's efforts to block a vote.
18 Republicans and former Republican Kevin Kiley broke with leadership to vote for it.
🇺🇸 AMERICA IS FALLING
The House Armed Services Committee just VOTED to Merge the U.S. Military with Israel's Military
The House Armed Services Committee advanced its FY2027 NDAA draft today and kept Section 224 ("United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative") after rejecting an amendment to strip it.
