White House: the witnessβsΒ allegations are βcompletely baselessβ and βbacked by zero credible evidence.β
Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.
NEW: Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT) & Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) launch review of $220 million taxpayer-funded Dept of Homeland Security ad campaign w/ Kristi Noem
Senators seek records about "circumstances surrounding the awarding of this lucrative, no-bid contract..."
This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trumpβs presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.
Bessent says the Trump admin may now lift sanctions on even more Russian oil to try and reduce oil prices during Trumpβs war. This would provide a massive injection of cash to fund Putinβs war machine.
βA DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credibleβand that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.β

Trump is lifting oil sanctions on Russian while theyβre helping Iran target Americans.
Putin definitely has a copy of the Epstein files.
DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."
But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."
Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say βSend meβ wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
Subpoena all of it. And him, too. The FBI found this witness credible enough to interview her four times. Enough with this cover up.
If there were credible allegations against a Democratic president that he had punched a 13 yr old girl in the face after she bit his penis while he was raping her, Fox would be running that shit on a loop 24/7 and calling for his arrest/execution let alone his impeachment.
Former President Joe Biden praising both Barack Obama and Jesse Jackson gives me life.
I miss Joe.
Trump is burning through taxpayer dollars on wars just like he burned through his fatherβs money in the 80s.
The costs of supporting Israelβs war on Iran:
- Dead American soldiers
- Dead elementary schoolgirls
- Over $1 Billion/day for combat ops
- Soaring gas prices
- Tanking markets
- Betrayed GCC allies
- Another constitutional crisis
β¦and growing.
The economic story just changed dramatically.
Payrolls fell -92k in Feb. Jan growth was revised down by -4k to +126k. And Dec revisions subtracted -64k to -17k.
Unemployment rate up a tick to 4.4%.
Recession questions are back on the menu
Our economy is bleeding jobs. Prices are up, especially for gas. Yet the White House prioritizes tax cuts for billionaires, while launching a reckless new Middle East war.
It doesn't have to stay this way - not if the American people make our voices heard.
This is the guy Trump wants to replace Kristi Noem.
A loyalist who tried to physically fight someone in the Senate.
US citizens have been killed by ICE/CBP.
A record number of immigrants have died in custody.
This man will only make things worse.
US Central Command say internally that the war on Iran is likely to last through September, longer than the 4 days, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks previously announced. Multiple Gulf nations are also rumoured to be privately reconsidering their US investments and are reluctant to aid US operations.
We bombed a girls elementary school.
Was AI used for the targeting that likely resulted in the bombing of the girls school?
We must have answers to that question and there is ZERO reason for delay because the Pentagon damn well already knows the answer.
If you care about free and fair election this November, this is the most important story of the day. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
The fuck kind of answer is this
Reuters Exclusive
"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the βMiddle East."
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. Sheβs married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
Theyβve already sent her to Louisiana.
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
The Pentagon is spending $1,000,000,000/day to distract you from Donald Trump's alleged pedophilia.
Zelensky has done everything he possibly can to satisfy this admin while he fights a war of survival for his people. And the Trump admin has done nothing but repeatedly treat him with disrespect, scorn & ridicule. 2 days ago, Trump called him βPT Barnum.β This is how Z responds.
Donald Trump is seeking to collect massive amounts of information β including personal and partisan voter data β at an unprecedented scale. He is trying to pressure AI companies into allowing unrestricted use of their powerful tools against American citizens. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...
Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.
She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Donald Trump increases the defense budget last year from $874 billion to $1 trillion. He says he wants $1.5 trillion this year. Now he wants $50 billion more for his Iran War. Every Democrat should be screaming about the military budget, not cutting deals to keep raising it.
