Glad to see that I’m not the only one that has had this thought. Trump is being used by God. But but but why Trump? If you’re paying attention, it’s not deniable.🤷🏾♂️🙏🏿✝️🇺�
This is an important point. Behind the unforgivable lie - we were not in talks and Trump just made that up - is that the lie telegraphed to Iran that Trump is desperate and in a corner, which has the impact of making talks even less likely. Just national security malpractice.
Martha Stewart made $45,000 in profits. 👇🏼
They caught her. They prosecuted her. She spent five months in federal prison.
Members of Congress are making hundreds of millions.
And the head of the enforcement division tasked with policing this resigned last week.
She couldn’t get the agency focused on it.
Now let’s talk about the bipartisan nature of this corruption.
Because I want to be clear, this is not a Republican problem.
This is a Washington problem.
That’s the scandal.
As an American I am embarrassed by it.
As an American I want it to stop.
Get Citizens United off the books. Pass the Bets Off Act. Reinstate the Stock Act with teeth.
Or just keep watching them get rich while you pay the price.
Somewhere in the White House, a group of strategists were brainstorming new ways to distract people from the war, and one said "Americans like the Affordable Care Act. It polls very very high on favorability."
Then another said, "He doesn't have a healthcare plan though. Let's just talk about 'Obamacare.' The base eats it up."
Then one goes, "Let's tell them we're sending out checks for healthcare. It worked when we lied to them about the DOGE refund checks."
And a tweet was born. 👇
Bank of America just agreed to pay $72.5 million for helping Jeffrey Epstein traffic underage girls.
The settlement dropped late Friday night. Buried under war headlines and protest coverage. Almost like they planned it that way.
And this is literally the FOURTH major bank settlement tied to Epstein's sex trafficking operation.
JPMorgan paid $290 million to victims. Then another $75 million to the US Virgin Islands. Deutsche Bank paid $75 million to victims and got hit with a $150 million regulatory fine on top of that. Now Bank of America adds $72.5 million.
Total exposed so far: Over $660 million.
Number of bankers criminally charged: ZERO.
Number of bankers who went to prison: ZERO.
Every single settlement came with "no admission of wrongdoing." Every bank said some version of "we regret the association" and moved on.
But the court filings tell a very different story:
JPMorgan filed suspicious activity reports on Epstein's accounts as early as 2002. Their own compliance team flagged him. They KNEW something was wrong but they kept banking him for 11 more years anyway.
When Epstein was alive and actively trafficking girls, JPMorgan flagged $4.3 million in suspicious transactions.
After he died in his cell? They retroactively reported $1.3 BILLION in suspicious activity going back to 2003. That's 300 times more than what they reported while he was alive.
A Senate investigation found that JPMorgan executives overruled their own compliance officers to keep Epstein as a client. Internal emails show top executives approved continued business with Epstein even AFTER his 2008 conviction because he was bringing in ultra-wealthy referrals.
Deutsche Bank picked Epstein up as a client in 2013, the same year JPMorgan finally dropped him. Their own CEO later admitted onboarding him was "a critical mistake that should never have happened." They literally kept him for five more years.
Bank of America allegedly didn't file suspicious activity reports on Epstein-linked accounts until AFTER he was dead.
The pattern is identical every time:
See the red flags. Ignore them. Profit from the relationship. Wait until the client dies or gets arrested. Then file a report. Then write a settlement check. Then say you did nothing wrong.
Now think about this...
These are the same banks that freeze your business account over a $5,000 wire transfer. The same compliance departments that require endless forms of ID to open a checking account. The same institutions that flag small business owners for "suspicious activity" if they deposit cash from their own customers two weeks in a row.
But a convicted sex offender runs hundreds of millions through their systems for DECADES and nobody notices. Nobody reports it. Nobody escalates it. Nobody calls law enforcement.
Until he's dead. Then suddenly everyone remembers everything.
Senator Wyden called for a criminal investigation. The Treasury Department has thousands of pages of Epstein bank records they still won't release. Congressional investigators say the full picture of what these banks knew hasn't come close to being revealed.
$660 million in settlements and fines. But not a single criminal charge against any banker at any institution.
That's the system working exactly as designed.
I wonder why no one's talking about the files anymore?
Republican candidate for Magistrate drives car into crowd at 'No Kings' rally—hits woman and drives away.
"There were children he could have hit," said witness.
"He was going much faster before he hit the lady, too."
"He also surged toward me to try to hit me," said another.
R. Lee Stanley is a Republican candidate for Oldham County Magistrate, District 1.
The incident occurred on Market Street in downtown Louisville, Kentucky.
Let me tell you exactly what Fox figured out in 1993.
Roger Ailes looked around and asked — who’s the threat?
Not Bill Clinton, the threat is Hillary Clinton.
They spent billions of dollars over decades destroying her narrative.
By the time she ran for president 51% of the country had a negative opinion of her before she said a word on the campaign trail.
That’s the playbook.
Now ask yourself — where’s the threat today? California.
The fourth largest economy in the world. Agriculture, Defense, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, AI. — which is literally the exportation of American culture globally.
A politician coming out of California from the left could beat the right decisively.
So what do you do?
Spend billions destroying the narrative around California.
Make it synonymous with crime and homelessness and radical politics.
Do it for two or three decades until the brand is toxic.
Newsom has an image problem today the exact same way Hillary had an image problem.
It was manufactured. Deliberately. Systematically.
Trump says he needs another $200,000,000,000 for his war.
Not for health care. Not for housing. Not for education.
Instead, he's asking every family to chip in $1,400 to keep bombing Iran.
🚨 Ukrainian intelligence confirms: Russia shared satellite imagery of Prince Sultan US Air Base in Saudi Arabia with Iran — right before Iran struck it and injured American troops.
Russia gave Iran the targeting data.
Iran used it to hit Americans.
Trump lifted sanctions on Russia the same week this war started.
The EU confirmed Russia is providing intelligence to Iran to kill Americans.
Now Ukrainian intelligence confirms the specific targeting data for the Prince Sultan strike came from Russian satellites.
Russia helped Iran hit an American base.
Trump’s response: silence.
No condemnation. No consequences. No sanctions restored.
BREAKING: Russia shared satellite images of Prince Sultan US base in Saudi with Iran right before their attack that injured our troops. Ukrainian intel confirms it.
Meanwhile Trump refuse to condemn Russia.
Is this what you voted for?
@KrisLeeShort@LePapillonBlu2 His wife was an undocumented illegal from Brazil. Same with her mom. She has her citizenship now but that doesn't matter with Trump. He would find a way. I think he's made veil threats to deport her and family.
We told you the Venezuela invasion was just corruption. It took one whole week to get the proof.
Trump took Venezuela's oil at gunpoint, and gave it to one of his biggest campaign donors.
1/ But when you learn the details, it's even worse. A short🧵on this corruption story.
#BREAKING: Lawrence: "JD Vance is doing exactly what Gerald Ford did while the Nixon presidency was sinking and Richard Nixon was under increasing pressure over several months that led to his resignation...When things were the darkest for President Richard Nixon, Vice President Gerald Ford said nothing...Tonight, JD Vance is silent. Tonight JD Vance is Gerald Ford."😳
AOC just detonated the House floor:
🔥🔥
“Eight senators are giving themselves over $1 million each while robbing Americans of food assistance and healthcare. How is this even on the floor? How can Congress enrich itself by stealing from the American people?”
This is the truth of the shutdown deal, millions lose care so senators can cash out.
