For the first time in 111 years, a President is planning to fire a sitting Fed governor—and of course, it’s the first Black woman, Lisa Cook. Trump’s message is clear: when Black women rise, he’ll do anything to push us down. Newsflash: we’re not going anywhere.
Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crow’s yacht

This is a really important corrective to a lot of reporting today. Trump did not—and cannot—federalize MPD. The police force remains under the ultimate control of the mayor.

He was handed the absolute strongest post-Covid economy in the industrialized world. And he’s singlehandedly fucked it up. And eventually even many of his most diehard voters will realize it. And it’ll be a painful realization for them.
The problem with the horse-race coverage of Trump II is that, across the board, he is destroying nonzero sum arrangements: rule of law, institutions, collective goods, trade relationships, alliances. So what the media portrays as a win for Trump is usually a net loss for everyone, including the US.
Will everyone quit and roll over? The law firms, media companies, universities, government employees. Will you all cling to what you have and hope you can just ride it out, Republic be damned? Shame on all of you who don’t stand up, just remember we will never forget.

Why is Trump asking for grand jury testimony? 1. Because he knows it’s unlikely to be released and then he can blame the judge 2. Because that testimony is restricted to charges against Epstein and Maxwell and is unlikely to name clients 3. Because it generates delay and confusion.

I suggest that Trump used a ghost writer for this letter -- like he did for every book he supposedly "authored". Had someone else draft it; probably liked the word enigma (makes him sound more educated than he is) and scribbled the drawing/signature.

Sorry, don't think there's anyway he will voluntarily give up the prestige and power (especially the power) of being POTUS. He is addicted to the attention and pandering. He may talk about doing it ("in two weeks") but won't ever pull the trigger himself.

Grateful to be a Pepsi fan.
So the current story from the president is that Those Damn Dirty Democrats created the Epstein Files, put a bunch of incriminating stuff about him in there and then … never released it?
For Trump to go to these extremes to cover up the Epstein Files, including attacking his supporters and hanging his AG and FBI Director completely out to dry, the evidence against him must be incredibly incriminating. There is no other explanation that makes sense.
Anyway, I'm sure the people who think the Deep State has run a huge child sex trafficking ring will be persuaded by the abrupt about-face by the President of the United States and the Attorney General who promised to release the files she said were "on my desk" but now insist there's nothing there.

Not just needing things repeated, watch him lean closer to hear better. Also, when he gives an odd answer to a question because he misheard it. Old guy needs a hearing aid, but too vain. Same reason he won't wear reading glasses in public even tho he uses them.
Consider the sources: Lindsey Graham. Susie Wiles. Roger Stone. Ralph Reed. Sycophants, all. Jill Colvin could have asked a psychologist or psychiatrist if his behavior post-shooting appears any less narcissistic or sociopathic. (Worse, if you ask me.) This isn’t journalism. It’s shambolic.

It took them over 10 years-despite the evidence being obvious all this time But MAGA is finally discovering that Donald Trump is a liar and NOT some savior of children-but a sex abuser of the worst kind And that MAGA grifters like Pam Bondi and Charlie Kirk are covering up for sex trafficking
JUST IN: Seems crazy that Epstein files could be biggest test of Trump's 2nd 1st year as president but does now seem possible, even likely. Trump basically comes out against his #MAGA base, tells them to stop making such a fuss. Same gambit failed when Trump's underlings tried it
It’s just so odd our stable geniusy president is acting as though he were in sheer, hysterical panic, when he knows and we all know that he has nothing to fear from the Epstein files, since he had nothing to do with Jeffrey Eps— … oh wait, let me put some more thought into this 🤔🧐
Ossoff: Did anyone really think the sexual predator president who used to party with Jeffrey Epstein was going to release the Epstein files?
A-plus post
Bondi, Patel, and Bongino have all read the Epstein files. Here are three simple questions for them: 1. Is Trump mentioned in the Epstein files? 2. Did they discuss the contents of the files with Trump? 3. Did Trump order or sign off on the decision to clam up about them?
Epstein.
Really roundabout way to say he’s definitely on the Epstein list.

Did Rosie say something recently? Or is Trump recycling old grudges between holes on the golf course?
Just a reminder that if Pam Bondi resigns, the next attorney general will *also* not release any list because the AG doesn’t hold the power, Trump does. And it’s clearly *him* who wants this to go away. Don’t delude yourself into thinking the buck stop with anyone other than Trump.
