This is everything.

The Epstein files should have united Americans. Because the real divide was never left vs right. It’s the public versus a protected class of wealth and power that believes rules are for other people.

Corruption is nothing new in US politics, but the billionaire Trump has taken it to a whole new, extreme level. Trump was forced to disclose 3,700 financial transactions conducted in 3 months, from January through March. The value of his trades was between $220 million and $750 million. Up to $750,000,000 in one quarter! The sitting US president is using insider information to speculate in the stock market, in trades worth hundreds of millions of dollars every quarter. If you don't think the government policies Trump implements are influenced by his financial interests, you are extremely naive. This is as corrupt as it gets.

A bedrock principle of America’s founding was religious freedom, not a national religion. Theocracy is the stuff of ISIS. nytimes.com/2026/05/17/us/…

Full agreement with Joe.

When a federal agency tasked with protecting all Americans decides to mandate a specific religious worldview, it ceases to protect democracy and begins to threaten it.

She Called The FBI In 1996. They Opened A File. Then They Told Her It Never Existed. She Spent 29 Years Being Called A Liar. September 3, 1996. A file is opened inside FBI headquarters. Classification: child pornography. The woman who made the call is identified only as "a professional artist." She described photos she had seen inside a Manhattan mansion. She described the man who owned those photos. She described what she witnessed being done to young girls. She gave them everything. Then she waited. Nobody called back. Nine years later, a local detective in Palm Beach knocked on a different door. Found forty victims. Handed the FBI photographs, videos, and documented evidence of child trafficking across multiple states. The FBI opened a formal investigation. Two years later — they closed it. One plea deal. Thirteen months. Out by noon every day on work release. The trafficking continued. The FBI kept receiving tips. For eleven more years, women were brought to his island, his Manhattan townhouse, his private ranch. For eleven more years — the file sat there. It took a newspaper reporter to force the arrest in 2019. Thirty-three days later, he was dead. Now twelve women — listed only as Doe 1 through Doe 12 — are standing in federal court. They're not suing his estate. They're suing the FBI. They want $100 million. And they want every internal document, every memo, every email showing exactly who received each tip — and made the decision to do nothing. But here's the part that changes everything. When the FBI's own internal review was published in 2020 — it didn't mention the 1996 complaint. Not once. For another five years, the woman who made that call was told: your report doesn't exist. In December 2025, the DOJ confirmed it did. One page. Dated September 3, 1996. Which means someone inside the FBI knew that file existed — and chose not to include it in their own review. The question isn't whether the file was real. The question is: who decided to make it disappear?

The United States already owns an official ballroom. It is Mellon Auditorium and sits, appropriately, on Constitution Ave. And, fantastically, it was just renovated in 2023. So, it's time to stop talking about a $1 Billion dollar ballroom. eventsatmellon.com/auditorium-gal…

It would do wonders for morale if the rest of the Epstein files were leaked. Because once people see what’s actually in them, they’ll want to burn the whole corrupt system to the ground.

Officer Brian Sicknick's family did not receive a single penny but trump is out here trying to make the people who murdered him millionaires.

The Supreme Court’s decision gutting the Voting Rights Act was the worst opinion of Marc Elias’ lifetime. “We are going to see Republicans…try to use this to try to delegitimize, to try to say it is illegitimate for any community of Black voters to elect their candidate of choice,” @marceelias said on a recent @DeadlineWH appearance.

@allenanalysis @wendy_mcroberts This is a disaster. The irony is that Eric @ericmetaxas tried to do a biography on Dietrich Bonhoeffer, one of the most earnest, faithful martyrs of World War II in Germany. His analysis was a failure and now he has gone full White (not Christian) Nationalist and full blasphemy.

🚨 NO WAYYY: At a federally-funded prayer event on the National Mall today, MAGA radio host Eric Metaxas told thousands of Christians that God spent two centuries waiting to raise up Donald Trump — to build a ballroom. His verbatim words: “It’s hard to believe that it would take two centuries for the Lord to raise up a great man to bring that ballroom finally to stand where it needs to stand. It’s extraordinary. We only had to wait two hundred years.” The crowd cheered.

Bingo!

@kylegriffin1 @SoCallls I am truly baffled that we do not have an enforcement and punishment mechanism for this. How have we made it 250 years as a country and we still cannot hold even the president accountable for illegal activity?

Trump personally bought and sold millions of dollars worth of stock in technology companies and government contractors early this year, according to new government records. In total, he made at least $220 million in financial transactions. The Trump admin directly regulates some of these companies — and many of these trades coincided with favorable regulatory decisions. notus.org/money/donald-t…

Rep Raskin: “If you do the math on this…the first thing I did was I divided $1.7 billion by 1600, which is the number of pardoned insurrectionists and rioters there were, and you get just over $1 million. EACH one of them could be given $1 million and then they would have tens of millions left over for other purposes, but he’s basically replenishing the private militia that he pardoned from January 6th just in time for the 2026 elections.”

A president's trading of securities for his personal account can in no way be argued to constitute activity that falls within the "outer perimeter" of his "official responsibilities." If it is based on inside information used in violation of his fiduciary responsibilities, it is brazenly criminal conduct, and he would not be immune from prosecution for that criminal conduct even under the Supreme Court's 2024 decision in his favor in the Jan. 6 case.

🇺🇸NEWS: FBI Director Kash Patel used a government Gulfstream V to fly his country singer girlfriend to a George Strait concert. He watched the show from a luxury suite reported at $35,000 to $50,000. Then he flew her home on the same FBI jet. Same week: a “VIP snorkel” at the underwater tomb of 900 sailors and Marines at Pearl Harbor. The pattern from the same NYT investigation is now public. Four SWAT agents and two SUVs guarding his girlfriend in Nashville. The detail estimated at $1 million a year. SWAT escorts to a hair appointment. An FBI official suggested a threat assessment to determine if any of it was justified. Patel berated him. A New York Times reporter wrote about the SWAT detail. The FBI opened an investigation into the reporter. The DOJ shut it down and called it retaliation. What is the FBI for when the FBI Director uses it as a personal concierge service and turns it on the people who notice?

This! It is corrupt and criminal and it must end. Americans have to stand up against this or we will lose everything, if we haven't already.

People think collapse looks like explosions and chaos. Nope. That's in the movies. Reality is different. It looks like a nurse and a manufacturing tech who can't afford rent together. It looks like a veteran using a bucket for a bathroom. It looks like a college graduate delivering food for an app. It looks like a 60 year old starting over as a server after 19 years at one company. It looks like right now. It's already here. Most people just don't have a word for what they are living through.

This should have every tax payers attention.

The Thomas Massie primary is truly insane. We are looking at the most expensive U.S. House primary in history, with spending pushing toward $35 million. Massie's opponent, Ed Gallrein, has raised just $2 million on his own. The rest of the money, over $14 million, is coming from outside Super PACs who desperately want Massie gone. On top of that, Pete Hegseth is being deployed to Kentucky to campaign against him. Stephen Miller & Con Inc. have been on massive Twitter tirades attacking him. And there was a highly coordinated smear campaign of unfounded allegations launched this week by Con Inc. influencers. When the establishment is willing to spend $35M+ and go to these lengths to take one man down, it really makes you wonder why. Whether you like Massie or not, this election will determine whether or not we as voters actually have a voice anymore. If outside special-interest money can successfully buy a seat and sway an election like this, we have a serious, serious problem.
