Wow. This NYC pop up is 🔥
The Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room is open as a public installation displaying all 3.5 million pages of the released and partially redacted Epstein files, printed and bound into 3,437 volumes.
This shouldn’t just stay in NYC. Take it on the road.
Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives. But it was his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time. Michelle and I send our condolences to Bob’s family, and everyone who knew and admired him.
BREAKING: Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares HUMILIATES Karoline Leavitt by immediately destroying her lie that Spain is militarily cooperating with Trump's Iran war: "I categorically deny this."
The MAGA narrative collapsed at record speed...
"Spain's position on the war in the Middle East, on the attack on Iran, on the use of our bases, has not changed one comma," Albares said in a radio interview.
Spain ignited Trump's rage by ejecting U.S. aircraft from their military bases because his war of aggression against Iran is a clear violation of international law. Trump responded by threatening to cut of "all" trade with Spain. Then, earlier today, Leavitt claimed that Spain had backtracked.
"With respect to Spain, I think they heard the president's message yesterday loud and clear and it's my understanding over the past several hours, they've agreed to cooperate with the U.S. military," the White House Press Secretary claimed during a briefing earlier today. "And so I know that the U.S. military is coordinating with their counterparts in Spain."
"But the president expects all Europe, all of our European allies, of course, to cooperate in this long sought after mission, not just for the United States but also for Europe crush the rogue Iranian regime, that again, not only threatens America but also threatens our European allies as well," Leavitt add.
The real "rogue" element here is the Trump administration. The American president used negotiations with Iran to mask his plans for an illegal war, which he then launched without congressional approval. Innocent men, women, and children are dying and American troops are already coming home in caskets.
It didn't take long for Spain to completely dismantle Leavitt's remarks.
"She might be the White House spokesperson, but I'm the foreign minister of Spain!" said Albares.
"I have no idea what she could be referring to or where that could be coming from," he stated, adding that he has "no desire" and "almost no time" to speculate.
"There is an agreement, a bilateral accord, and outside the framework of that bilateral agreement, there will be no use of Spanish sovereign bases," he said. "Any operation must be within the framework of the United Nations."
He further stated that Spain has "nothing to fear" from the United States: "What does a country that respects international law and seeks peace have to fear?"
"We have been a friend of the United States since its independence, and we are an important trading partner," he said. "Our commitment is beyond question, but Spain is also a sovereign and independent country."
Please ❤️ and share to thank Spain for standing strong!
@OJoelsen Don't worry, Trump is lying just like he always does. The USNS Mercy is in drydock and not going anywhere anytime soon. Just the rantings of a lunatic megalomaniac suffering from serious dementia.

Important issue? All is well here in Greenland.
There was one submarine crew member who required hospitalization in Nuuk. He was evacuated by the Royal Danish Navy and is receiving proper care. He is in safe hands with skilled doctors from Greenland and Denmark. There is no need for a hospital ship.
Perhaps it would be better to focus on the needs of your own state.
