VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump exposed in new Epstein phone call scandal
Surprise, surprise, America's wannabe dictator knew a helluva lot more about Jeffrey Epstein than he has relentlessly insisted for years, a fact made clear by the revelation of a 2006 phone call Trump made to Palm Beach police where he said, "Thank goodness you're stopping him. Everyone has known he's been doing this." If you're wondering how that squares with the MAGA cult leader calling Epstein a "terrific guy" who likes "beautiful women" on the "younger side" in 2002 or his 2019 claim that he had "no idea" Epstein was molesting underage girls, you certainly aren't alone.

White House Secretary of Doublespeak Karoline Leavitt attempted to spin the narrative as proof that Donald did the right thing way back when and told law enforcement what he knew, but dig a little deeper and it sure as shit sounds more like an opportunist trying to get ahead of a fast-moving story that had already spilled into public view. The truth is, Donald's Epstein account has shape-shifted for years. Someone should really ask him why he waited until after law enforcement were involved to speak up or why his story has changed so many times over the years. It's almost as if the lying liar has had a hard time keeping his many, many lies straight. Almost.

Jamie Raskin says Trump's name appears in the unredacted Epstein files over one million times
A million is a LOT of appearances for a guy who allegedly "cut ties" with the late pedophile decades ago because he was a "creep" AND YET also somehow had no idea what the child sex trafficker was actually doing for years on end with his revolving door of underage female, uh, associates.

Economic populist, oysterman, and former Marine challenges vulnerable Republican for must-win Senate seat
Graham Platner for Senate: Graham Platner isn’t your average D.C. Democrat. He’s a working-class oysterman with a plan to bring voters back into the fold by running on a proud platform of economic populism. He’s not afraid to name the billionaire class as the enemies of workers and he’s going to fight to raise the federal minimum wage, stop billionaires from buying elections, crack down on rampant tax dodging by the megawealthy, back labor unions to the hilt, and fight for universal health care. Chip in to help kick-start his campaign!

Grand jury reportedly declines to indict Democrats who urged troops to refuse illegal orders
Once again, the judiciary has stepped up to be the xxxxxx of justice against Trump’s tyranny — this time, putting a stop to his authoritarian attempts to punish Democratic lawmakers for urging military officials to disobey illegal orders (which they are required to do, with the orders being illegal.) The only people who would be mad about this are those preparing to issue illegal orders. Hopefully, the message of these Democratic lawmakers has been heard.

Trump-appointed judge blocks his administration from Michigan voter rolls
Judge Hala Jarbou, who owes her bench to Donald himself, just threw out the DOJ's lawsuit demanding sensitive voter registration data from the battleground state — saying the statutes the Trump regime cited didn't actually give them the right to such juicy info and that forcing the issue might even burden Michiganders' right to vote. Stand by for apoplectic accusations of Jarbou going "woke" and being some sort of double agent of the "radical left." The executive branch may have little use for the Constitution, but — for the time being, anyway — the judiciary is thankfully another story.

Fulton County FBI search was ordered by Trump’s election-denying lawyer
The FBI search of election offices in Fulton County, Georgia, that led to the seizure of ballots from the 2020 election was ordered by Kurt Olsen, the personal lawyer who previously helped Donald Trump try to overturn his crushing 2020 defeat with one baseless lie after another. Olsen landed himself a cush job in the current Trump regime, of course, and he's not letting any of those old grievances go.

Dubbed the "Presidentially appointed Director of Election Security and Integrity" — a position that Donald literally made up specifically to help make his embarrassing loss to Joe Biden somehow go away — Olsen simply repackaged long-debunked claims of fraud to justify the unsettling Fulton County raid. When this nightmare is finally over and the assault on the very pillars of American democracy eventually ends, every one of these goons should be dragged into court and held accountable for their heinous crimes.

Trump says he raised tariffs on Switzerland by 9% because he did not like leader's tone in phone call
We're beginning to understand why Donald just lies all the goddamn time. There are rare moments when the malignant narcissist-in-chief tells the truth, and when he does it honestly does him no favors, like casually admitting to a stupid tariff hike because he didn't care for a head of state's tone on a phone call. Such incredible petulance from the so-called leader of the free world. What petty transgression will he "right" next?

ICE ramps up targeting of Minneapolis legal observers
Despite the departure of Border Patrol provocateur-at-large Greg Bovino, Trump's Gestapo goon squad is still brazenly targeting legal observers in Minnesota committing the "crime" of recording ICE encounters with immigrants and suspected immigrants alike. Trump border czar Tom Homan tried to change the narrative and optics of "Operation Midway Blitz" with his ballyhooed "drawdown" of 700 federal agents, but the regime's mission is quite clearly continuing as planned. They're still rounding people up, shuttling shackled prisoners under cover of night to concentration camps elsewhere across the country, and arresting and abducting legal observers for daring to hold them accountable. We call it fascism because it is fascism. Swapping out the stooge at the podium changes nothing.
