Donald Trump’s Presidency Is in Free Fall Republicans typically lead on the economy, national security, and immigration. Trump is squandering the GOP’s traditional strength on all three.

Remarkable: With support for the Iran war tanking, Trump is now throwing away the GOP's advantage on three core issues: Economy, immigration, national security.

A year ago it looked like he might be popular on all three. He lit it all on fire. 1/

The location of the plaque that was just hung, is in a place that it will not be visible to the public. While I am thankful for this first step, our lawsuit continues until they plaque is hung in accordance with the law.

Long-delayed Jan. 6 plaque honoring police quietly erected overnight at Capitol The memorial honoring officers who defended the Capitol was required by law to be installed by March 2023.

Deserved a ceremony.

Judging from the prose, the Pentagon appears to be using AI to announce the death of soldiers. If it’s not AI, it’s a person who simply does not care.

The last photo of third-grader Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, waving to his mom before he left for school. He was killed shortly after in the U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.

If there's one thing the Epstein estate surely loves, it's giving out large settlements to people with absolutely no evidence of any wrongdoing

White House: the witness’sΒ allegations are β€œcompletely baseless” and β€œbacked by zero credible evidence.”

Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.

For reference, Epstein "killed himself" on August 10, 2019. 3 days after the FBI decided she was credible enough to interview a second time.

Trump is a convicted rapist. Fact.

And now, we have this.. determined to be credible, thanks to reporters like @jkbjournalist.bsky.social

In those subsequent interviews, the woman described how Epstein trafficked her to several men, including Trump, in the 1980s.
She was interviewed again by the FBI on Aug. 7, 2019, Aug. 20, 2019 and Oct. 16, 2019.
In her second interview, she claimed that Epstein either flew or drove her from South Carolina to New York or New Jersey when she was between 13 and 15 years old. "She was introduced to someone with money, money...it was Donald Trump," the FBI report said.
She recalled she was in a "very tall building with huge rooms" when she met Trump, whom she said immediately didn't like her because she was a "boy-gir!" - or tomboy.
She claimed she was with Epstein and several other people who left her alone in the room with Trump.
"Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be," she recalled Trump saying, according to the FBI report.
She said he unzipped his pants and forced her head to his penis. She said she immediately bit him and Trump struck her, the report said. She told the FBI agents that she bit him because he "disgusted" her.
In her third interview, she told agents she wanted to clarify how Trump reacted to her biting him, explaining that Trump "pulled her hair and punched her on the side of the head."

1/ Anyway, this reminds me of a story I read about James Mattis in Trump's first term.

During a meeting in the Situation Room, Trump angrily ordered the military to assassinate the entire government of Syria.

Joshua Jones sums up what I've been thinking about Mullin and his absurd comments about "the smell of war" and other such nonsense.

He has never served in any war zone. He has never been on the receiving end of enemy fire or missile attacks. He has never sacrificed anything for anyone.

He lies through his teeth. He changes his mind continuously. He acts on whim. He’s driven by vengeance, hate and money. He wants more power for no good but only to feed his insatiable broken ego that never gets enough. Woe to everything you may love. Giving up or giving in are not options.

As my sister would say, β€œhorseshit.” We’ve seen the videos of the horrific shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The caliber of people within the department, the culture of bigotry, hatred, toxicity, runs deep throughout. Changing the vapid figurehead β€œleadership” doesn’t do a damn thing.

Trump never misses an opportunity to demean, degrade, or bully the nearest person.
He's a sick, deranged, twisted, vomit spewing, soulless husk of a man (I hesitate to call him a man - seems reptilian to me). His actions and his words say he's evil.
Trump is the antithesis of the American Spirit

US crude just posted a 35% weekly gain, the biggest since 1983.
Qatar's Energy Minister just went on the record with the Financial Times and said: ALL Gulf energy exporters *will* shut down production within days.
