CDC scientists walk out & protest. Border patrol arrests firefighters battling wildfire mid-blaze. Trump ghosts the UN on human rights. And DOGE put your Social Security file in the cloud...Itâs Covfefe time.
Petty AF! Trump just stripped Kamala Harris of her Secret Service protection, a detail that Biden quietly extended for her safety. Heâs punishing political enemies and sending a message. No matter how you feel about Harris, canceling her protection is reckless, dangerous, and beneath the office.
Must read post from @oliviaoftroye.com on the threat trump poses for NATO security re Greenland. "Undermining Denmarkâs sovereignty fractures NATO from within. Thatâs a gift to Putin and Xi, who thrive on Western division." www.livingitwitholiviatroye.com/p/the-greenl...
I warned this wasnât a joke. Now, Trump loyalists are running covert ops to destabilize Greenland & rattle Denmark. It sounds like a bad Hollywood movie...but itâs apparently U.S. policy, straight from the Oval Office.
FEMAâs own employees are sounding the alarm. I was on the ground after Katrina. I know the cost of failure. It's currently hurricane season and FEMA staff are warning weâre headed there again...
John Bolton gets raided. I get death threats. Charlie Kirk says immigrants arenât âreal Americans.â And congratulations, you now own Intel stock. âď¸News you mightâve missed & something for your soul.
"It's retaliation to protect Trump, not America."
When Kash Patel turns the FBI into Trumpâs revenge squad, thatâs not justice, itâs authoritarianism. Today itâs John Bolton, tomorrow it could be anyone who dares defy Trump. The Bureauâs credibility is being gutted from within. This is intimidation, not law enforcement. We should all be alarmed.
DNI Tulsi Gabbard has revoked 37 security clearancesâexperts in AI, cyber defense & election security, gone. More firings to come. She calls it âODNI 2.0.â Itâs not reform. Itâs retaliation to protect Trump, not America.
Zelenskyy, Trump, and the NATO Mirage. Trump offered âNATO-likeâ guaranteesâŚpoker chips in a war Ukraine canât risk.
Yup.
Putin gets the limo ride. Zelenskyy gets told to âmake a deal.â Human rights? Whitewashed. Fake ICE agents roam while the real ones hide behind masks. Trump swaps PBS for the TikTok of right-wing indoctrination. âď¸5 stories they donât want you to notice...
From Epsteinâs network to Americaâs campuses, power protects power. And when the watchdogs are gone, the only thing stopping a predator is whether the institution fears a PR hit. Full deep dive here on Trump's civil rights purge.
After watching this conversation live, I got the audiobook and started listening to it last night. GET IT! It is so incredibly well-written, and well worth the time. Dan is a terrific writer, and I'm trying to spread the word as much as I can to my tiny audience! LOL Now...back to my audio book!
What if a novel wasnât really fiction? On Open Barâs release day, I spoke with former sex crimes prosecutorâturnedânovelist Dan Schorr about cover-upsâEpstein, Weinstein, Trumpâand Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooperâs heartbreaking college sexual harassment story. Power shields predators...
đŻ
Paid a visit to my old workplace, the White House, today. Serenaded Trump & Stephen Miller with the Mexican National Anthem (Iâm sure they loved that). Was strolling through DC looking for the violence they hyped earlier today...another manufactured crisis to distract from the Epstein files.
More questions for that Trump Presser: -Kash Patel: It appears youâre purging FBI personnel & also using them for political reasons. Did you lie during confirmation? -When will the Epstein Files be released?
That Trump presser wasnât about safety. It was a major step towards martial law, something heâs always wanted. Questions: -In 2020, FBI & other federal law enforcement warned against their misuseâthey're fine with it now? -Why deploy the National Guard today & not on Jan 6? And...
This Trump press conference is like watching a Fox News Live special, except the ludicrous nut jobs arenât just doing punditry, theyâre running the country. Look at them all performing for the mob boss.
The US military is preparing to activate hundreds of National Guard troops to DC. This presidency knows no bounds. Trumpâs always seen the military as his personal tool for his bidding & grievancesâŚand heâs misusing federal law enforcement again, just like in 2020.
You are absolutely correct!
Grateful to James Cullum at @alxnow.bsky.social for this no-holds-barred conversation on my journey from the White House, to speaking out, and how Del Ray has become the community that embraced me and my family. Itâs about finding purpose, resilience, and home.
â This week: Fake outrage + real abuses of power. -Right-wing âdenim disinfoâ -Fox leak trial vs. the First Amendment -Putinâs gut-punch to the CIA -Alzheimerâs breakthrough at risk -Uberâs 400K sexual assaults, safety fixes buried Full breakdownâŹď¸
Iâm being sued, again, for telling the truth. Richard Grenellâs refiling isnât about justice. Itâs about punishment, intimidation, & silencing dissent--straight from the Trump playbook. I wonât back down. I wonât cower to their abuse of the law & their white-collar thuggery.
1/Frmr Amb. #RickGrenell filed Amended Complaint against @oliviaoftroye.com in fed lawsuit previously dismissed by Court bc no defamation determined to have occurred as matter of law. Now we again need your help to fight back. www.gofundme.com/f/olivia-tro...
Redacted Nation: From Epstein docs to fired statisticians to deleted CDC pages, this isn't chaos... It's the operating system.
Trump and Marco Rubio give a triple murderer a free ticket out of Venezuela & into the US. Chemtrails become law. Project 2025 author now wants a US Senate seat. Just a totally normal week in 2025âŚ.Here are some headlines you may have missed & some inspiration.
A đŻ from @oliviaoftroye.com on Trump scrambling to hide from the truth in Epstein-gate: âhe looks really guilty.â youtu.be/czfvFGfxijs?...
đŹSorry. My apologies!
Collins and Murkowski were the only two GOP votes against him.đđđ
One of the whistleblowers had audio tape. Audio. And they fucking confirmed him anyway. republicans honestly don't give a fuck about this country.
They confirmed Emil Bove. They know better. They did it anyway. Power now. Regret later. Cowardice dressed up as âleadership.â
They donât need to rig machines when they can rewrite the rules. The Trump team is embedding federal observers, launching DOJ audits, and redrawing the maps, starting in Texas. This isnât about fraud. Itâs about control. And the playbook is already in motion.
Given the option of saying (about the most notorious pedophile in American history), "I ended our friendship because he was a creep" - and - "I ended our friendship because I don't like it when people try to poach my staff" IT'S PRETTY WEIRD TO GO WITH THE LAST ONE !!!!
The espressoâs strong. The Trump teamâs Epstein gaslighting?Falling flat. Maxwell wants a pardon. Trump âhasnât thought about it.âđMeanwhile: Little Leaguers travel banned, birthright citizenship battles on, a heroic teacher inspires & Sheryl Crow drops an awesome protest anthem, "The New Normal."
Appreciate the feedback. I donât use it often but sometimes itâs interesting, so good to know.
đşđ¸America First? Then feed America first. Coca-Cola goes âreal caneâ after a Trump nudge. Problem? The U.S. already imports 1/3 of its sugar, while weâre shutting off crop satellites & cutting farm soil grants. Only one country can feed itself. Itâs not us. So why gut the tools that feed Americans?
Feel better now?
Yes, Trumpâs suing the WSJ for $10b over THAT letter. But there's also a London theater reenacting Jan 6. đĽEddington opens this weekend & it broke me. Go see it! And, don't lose track of what the Trump team's doing w/ our next elections. 5 headlines you may have missed & along with some inspiration.
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
How do you kill NPR, ban protests, silence researchers, and still call it âfreedomâ? Simple: slap a flag on it and call it patriotism.
The birthday letter from Trump to Epstein is disgustingly horrid. Trump says heâll sue the Wall Street Journal for reporting itâso you know itâs probably true. The reflex is always the same: deny, threaten, and deflect. Never explain the friendship. Never show remorse. Just attack the truth.
Trump threatens 100% tariffs on Russian oil. Putin rewards an American defector, with a Russian passport on camera. This isnât leverage. Itâs optics. T.A.C.O. Diplomacy 2.0: Trumpâs Putin Pivot
Five headlines (and a little inspiration) you mightâve missedâfeaturing the latest cyber threat, chaos inside DOJ & the FBI, and a few stories thatâll make you shake your head or smile. âď¸ Itâs your Saturday Covfefe...Truth with a shot of espresso.
No sirens. Just darkness and floods. Texas is grieving. But this wasnât just a storm. It was a preventable tragedy. This isnât just about Texas. Itâs a warning for all of us.
Absolutely heartbreaking to see the devastating floods in Texas, my home state. Communities are underwater, families displaced, so many lives lostâand help is desperately needed. All while disaster response is being dismantled in real time by the Trump Admin. We deserve better.
5 headlines from the week and some inspiration.
Wishing you a meaningful and Happy 4th of July!đşđ¸ This day means a lot to my family, but so much of what we love about America is at risk. What we choose to stand for still matters.
Five AI models were fed Trumpâs 2025 talking points. They shredded them, every time. "Artificial intelligence discredited all the Trump claims we presented, fact-checking the president with startling accuracy and objective rigor." Interesting study & findings by @jeffsonnenfeld.bsky.social and team.
Donât beg me. I actually donât use it often. But this one definitely isâalthough letâs be honestâŚAlligators have always been part of Trumpâs plan. I mention this in my article.
đ¨While people are watching Trumpâsđ Alligator Alcatraz stunt, the Big Beautiful Bill just passed the Senate with VP Vance casting the tie-breaker. Donât let Trumpâs swamp spectacle distract you from the significance of these cuts. Thatâs what they want.
Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.
Attorney General Pam Bondi: âYou should all feel safer now that President Trump can deport these gangs.â She hails SCOTUS clearing the way to gut birth-right citizenship. She is giddy today about what's to come...
SCOTUS just lobbed a procedural grenade. In Trump v. CASA, the 6-3 majority didnât okay Trumpâs bid to end birth-right citizenshipâthey scrapped nationwide injunctions, clearing the way for it. Justice Sotomayor in her dissent warns: âNo right is safe.â A five-alarm fire for the 14th Amendment.
Your boarding pass. Your face scan. Your payment trail. It all feeds a surveillance machine powered by Palantir, fed by airlines & stored for 75 years...all while Stephen Miller apparently profits from it.
Who would've thought 10 years ago I'd have @oliviaoftroye.com and @levparnas.bsky.social join and agree with me about this disastrous war and how Democrats need to emerge as the anti-war party, but here we are in 2025, folks. Give us a watch below.
Valid statement.
SCOTUS rules the Trump admin can deport migrants to countries other than their own. Justices Sotomayor, Kagan & Jackson dissent, warning: âThe gov't has made clear in word & deed that it feels itself unconstrained by law, free to deport anyone anywhere without notice or an opportunity to be heard.â
This intense!đĽľ
I agree.
Iran has begun its retaliation, firing missiles at U.S. bases in both Qatar and Iraq. There are 10,000 American troops in Qatar, and thousands more deployed across Iraq. Praying for their safety.
The Trump team says this isnât war. Thatâs a lie & they know all know it. Iran will respond. Troops are bracing. Oil prices are shifting. And the most dangerous part? The lack of civilian leadership & inexperience sitting at the table.
Pete Hegseth: âMany presidents dreamed of delivering the final blow to Iranâs nuclear program & none could until President Trump.â Yes, PeteâTrump finally did what others wouldnât: ignore intel, destabilize the region, & risk another endless war. Bold move if youâve learned nothing in 20 years.
Q: The DNI concluded in March that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon. What new intel does the US have that Iran changed its position? HEGSETH: The president has made it very clear that he's looked at all the intelligence and come to the conclusion that the Iranian nuclear program is a threat
I spent most of my career focused on the Middle East before focusing on the homeland. FYI: I could sit here & regurgitate conservative talking points on Iran. I wonât. Natâl security experts have debated moves like this for years, especially when thereâs no clear plan for what comes nextâŚ
Trump dismantled diplomacy, gutted the national security apparatus & pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, decisions that helped destabilize the region. Now, itâs all bravado & this attack on Iran is likely to lead to a protracted conflict. This is provocation through chaos. This isnât a âwinâ.
Hi! Iâve been going off of the organizers themselves. They estimate 5 million+.
Can someone in immigration law explain to me how this is legal?
A politically motivated act of domestic terrorism shook Minnesota, and all of us, this weekend. And, while 5 million Americans marched to reject authoritarianism & said No Kings, U.S. Senator Mike Lee showed us what happens when cruelty replaces conscience in public office.
"Love, not hate! That's what makes America great!"
đŻ Exactly! Love this!
We're not alone!! Don't let them convince you otherwise!!
âImmigrants are welcome here!â đŤđđşđ¸ No Kings! Alexandria, Virginia

I will provide an update on last nightâs targeted shootings shortly: youtube.com/live/VHtHNAb...
The White House could appeal the injunction issued by the judge but the decision in a federal court is a setback for President Trump.
DHS handcuffing Senator Padilla & forcing him to the ground after he had already clearly identified himself is outrageous. This is more than misconductâitâs systemic abuse of power, aimed at a Latino senator. The Trump admin is shredding public trust. And when trust breaks, everyone is less safe.
"King Trump: This Week Reveals MAGA's End Game" Trump & Stephen Miller's end game is a right-wing autocracy in which the military will be used to attack critics. This week is a sneak preview of the future of America. thelefthook.substack.com/p/king-trump... With @oliviaoftroye.com
Thank you! It seems the entire fleet of Fox shows talked about our town hall. Just shows they canât handle #realnews
Whatâs happening in L.A. isnât about immigration. Itâs a warning. ICE raids. Marines deployed. A military parade in D.C. on deck. This isnât chaos, itâs choreography by Trump. Keep the mariachis coming! Use your voices, but don't give him the benefit of taking the bait.
700 Marines are being sent to L.A.âdeployed on U.S. soil, against civilians. This isnât border security. Itâs martial optics meant to intimidate, not protect. Now Trump says he supports Tom Homan arresting Gov. Gavin Newsomâfor what? Not backing Trump's manufactured crisis?! This is un-American.
đ¨Let me just skip to the endâKash Patel peddles his conspiracies on Jan 6 about the FBI, then the Proud Boys file this lawsuit, Pam Bondi provides top cover & the Proud Boys get their pay out. Welcome to Trumpâs America⌠Hereâs my Friday đ article for you:
@oliviaoftroye.com wrote a column on how Palantir will play Big Brother and target your freedoms. www.livingitwitholiviatroye.com/p/built-by-p...
Breaking news: Reagan National Airport is expected to close for up to several hours on June 14 to accommodate military flyovers, parachute jumps and fireworks on the National Mall that are part of the U.S. Armyâs 250th birthday celebration.
Built by Palantir. Authorized by Trump. They say itâs efficiency. Itâs actually surveillance. Your data is the weapon, and theyâre loading it now. Even Trumpâs most loyal base of far-right white nationalists are sounding the alarm.
Here we go again with the Travel Ban. I was in the room for the original âsecurity reviews.â It wasnât about safetyâit was about politics & profiling. I fought for truth and facts in these intel assessments in Trump 1.0. Who will fight now? The damage to families, allies & our values is real.
In case you missed what happened at our DC @jimacosta.bsky.social live show this past Monday night, this brave federal worker & veteran, talked about the Trump loyalty pledge theyâre being asked to take and an essayâŚ
Thank you for your courage and your friendship!
Thank you for listening! Really appreciate it.
"One of the most common things among dissenters in autocratic countries is all of a sudden they become socially isolated. Because people are very afraid to interact with them because they don't want to get targeted. They don't want their families to get targeted."
Just went live with my first-ever show as a host. My guest? @milestaylor.bsky.social Heâs now the subject of a Trump executive order. We talked about the cost of speaking out, the trauma of being targeted & how he's fighting back. This is the playbook of strongmen.
Thank you for taking the time to listen to it.
Thanks for coming to the show. Great seeing you!
