This is a discussion @_StephenKBannon has with Epstein about a woman working at the White House for Trump?? consider all the senior republicans who speak to this misogynistic pig (including Trump) and ask them why they still talk to him and why he was such a good friend of
1) Bannon and Epstein text exchange. They mention Trump's new assistant, Madeleine Westerhout as a new friend of Trump. Bannon calls her a grundoon, one of his favorite pejoratives. Epstein refers to her as "Kneepads" and she is "doing God's work." Epstein then writes "Hes

How may cops go through their careers rarely pulling their guns. These guys do every day and they aren’t real cops
DHS agents in MN swerved in front of an unarmed woman who was recording them, once again WALK IN FRONT OF A CAR with guns drawn. The only thing they've learned from Renee Good is how to get away with killing people. A local cop intervened to stop the illegal arrest!

SCOOP: Days before the inauguration, the Trump family secretly signed away 49% of World Liberty Financial, their crypto company, in a deal with a U.A.E. royal, acc. to documents and people familiar. The $500M investment came months before the U.A.E. won access to U.S. AI chips🧵

In any other time or presidency, this story. reported by @WSJ, would be an earthquake of a scandal. The size, scope and implications of it are unprecedented and mind-boggling. But will this Congress, which brayed endlessly about the "Biden crime family," probe it? Not a chance.

This is an unfathomably large conflict of interest. Probably the largest one for a President in history.
So it turns out that the bribe that got Trump to sell the UAE advance artificial intelligence chips is WAY bigger than we knew. It's not just that MGX facilitated a $2b purchase with Trump's stablecoin. The UAE actually bought 49% of his whole fucking crypto company!

In the early 1930s the SA was roughing people up, creating chaos in neighborhoods, seeking to terrorize with the occasional killing. By the late 1930s it had been supplanted by the SS, which was much better trained.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Mississippi’s largest synagogue was set on fire before dawn Saturday. Fire department ruled it arson, and a suspect has been arrested. It is the same synagogue that the Ku Klux Klan bombed in 1967 because the rabbi supported civil rights. https://t.co/mgP5RknBxs

Seems highly likely that Trump will authorize *some* sort of military action in Iran. The consequences of any action are extremely hard to predict, though, and there's no option that provides a decisive boost to the protesters. Symbolic strike against a regime target? Could

The president has said he will be “hitting them very hard” if Iranian leaders kill protesters amid widespread demonstrations calling for wholesale changes in the country.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller on whether or not U.S. military action against Greenland is off the table: “The United States should have Greenland as part of the United States... Nobody’s going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland.”

Donald Trump pardoned this man, who was charged with assaulting multiple police officers with a baseball bat on Jan. 6.

Day 2 of “running” Venezuela and it turns out the U.S. government is not running it at all, never had a plan to run it, still can’t explain what running it even means, and now seems to be implementing a partial oil blockade while letting Maduro’s henchmen run the country. FFS.
Breaking: Rubio said the US Navy will keep up a "quarantine" of some Venezuelan oil exports to coerce Maduro's allies to open up the oil industry. A White House official said that's what Trump meant when he said the US will "run" Venezuela. It's the new gunboat diplomacy.

The way AI is being used to manufacture consent for this should be talked about more, and should alarm everyone

She's right. If the US attacks a NATO member, NATO ends in that moment. Trump knows that.
