A Jan. 6 defendant — pardoned by Trump for threatening to "put a bullet" in Nancy Pelosi's head while driving around D.C. with guns/ammo — has been newly charged with threatening to assassinate D.C.'s federal judges. Credit to @SeamusHughes for the find. storage.courtlistener.com/re…

How many weaponized prosecutions must Todd Blanche and Jeanine Pirro bring before they lose their law licenses? Because I’m losing count.
“What has transpired here cannot be described as anything other than weaponization.” — U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui, dismissing yet another political prosecution by Trump regime lawyers. Gift link buff.ly/69BjQul

I hate to keep saying it's all of them, but it's literally all of them.

🚨A self-styled South Carolina MAGA “pastor” who accused Obama of being a p*dophile and Joe Biden of being a “s*xual predator” has been arrested for allegedly r*ping a child under the age of 11 on numerous occasions. Tracy Gordon Black, 64, of Pelzer, was arrested on four counts of first-degree criminal s*xual conduct with a minor under 11 (sexual battery under South Carolina law), plus third-degree s*xual exploitation of a minor and possession of visual depictions of a minor engaged in s*xual activity. He’s being held without bond. The charges stem from alleged assaults on the same child under 11 and possession of child s*xual abuse material (including doctored images). The investigation remains active. Black is a self-proclaimed pastor who led an independent outdoor worship group (also called Mobile Outreach Ministry, Mercy Outreach Ministry, or Sabbath In the Park/Sabbath In The Dark) that met at Mineral Springs Park in Williamston. Earlier this year he publicly defended the group after it was revealed a registered s*x offender was participating in the services; the park was temporarily closed amid protests. He told officials they were simply “trying to offer the love Jesus Christ offered.” A Facebook account confirmed to belong to Black (Bigdeck Black) has previously shared a thoroughly debunked 2017 fake-news story claiming WikiLeaks proved Obama ran a p*dophile ring out of the White House. Black also promoted The Turner Diaries (the neo-Nazi novel by National Alliance founder William Pierce) as a banned book that “predicted the future,” posted QAnon material (WWG1WGA), and shared conspiracy claims about missing-children milk cartons being a “satanic cabal” advertising kids to p*dophiles—along with the usual MAGA historical revisionism insinuating Lincoln is worse than with Hitler. A man who spent years amplifying baseless p*dophile conspiracies about political opponents is now facing serious charges involving a child under 11. The hypocrisy writes itself. It’s the same story, over and over again.

Hey MAGA, when someone at a Trump rally screams, "Release the Epstein files!" how come y'all beat them up? If I was at an Obama rally and someone yelled, "Expose the pedophiles!" I wouldn't beat them up, I would applaud. And you wonder why everyone calls you pedo-protectors.

Dear MAGA, since you're always asking me, "What laws has Trump violated. Be specific." HERE IS A COMPREHENSIVE LIST 1) The Principle of Non-refoulement is an international law prohibiting a state from returning a person to a place where they would face a real risk of persecution, torture, or other serious harm. SEE - 1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees, which the U.S ratified in 1968. 2) The Convention Against Torture (CAT) prohibits the removal of any person to a country where they would more likely than not be subjected to torture. Signed by the U.S.: April 18, 1988 Ratified by the U.S.: October 21, 1994 Enforced in the U.S.: November 20, 1994 3) The Refugee Act of 1980 prohibits the return of a refugee to a country where their life or freedom would be threatened. 4) INA § 241(b)(3) states that the U.S. cannot remove an alien to a country if it's determines that the alien's life or freedom would be threatened in that country. 5) Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998 (FARRA) - codified 8 U.S.C. § 1231 - states the U.S can NOT expel, extradite, or otherwise effect the involuntary return of any person to a country in which there are substantial grounds for believing the person would be in danger of being subjected to torture. 6) Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 (Election Clause) by attempting to control federal elections and intimidate State and election officials. 7) Article I, Section 8 - Congress' authority to create and/or abolish government agencies/offices - by creating DOGE via Executive Order and by dismantling government agencies WITHOUT Congressional approval or involvement. 8) Article I, Section 9 , Clause 8 - the Emoluments Clause - prohibits any person holding a government office from accepting any present, emolument , office, or title from any "King, Prince, or foreign State ," without congressional consent. 9) 1st Amendment free speech clause by silencing the scientific community - via Executive Order - and by trying to silence the media by kicking out certain media from the press room and by filing frivolous lawsuits. 10) 5th Amendment for violating due process rights of immigrants. Which is confirmed by the U.S Supreme Court in two separate rulings. 11) 10th Amendment by sending ICE agents into sanctuary cities. Under Printz v. United State, the Federal government "may neither issue directives requiring the States to address particular problems, nor command the States’ officers, or those of their political subdivisions, to administer or enforce a federal regulatory program." — thus, protecting sanctuary cities. 12) 14th Amendment Section 1 - the birthright citizenship clause - by signing an Executive Order attempting to end the protections of birthright citizenship. 13) 5 USC § 403 by illegally firing 18 Inspectors General's from the Defense Department, State Department, Health and Human Services Department and the Department of Labor. 14) 8 USC § 1373, the courts have ruled that this law cannot compel local law enforcement to act as immigration agents. 15) 18 U.S.C. § 4 – Misprision of Felony, by "having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony" in regards to covering up the Epstein files. 16) 18 U.S. Code § 401 for blatantly ignoring and disobeying an immigration Court ruling, a U.S. District Court ruling, and the U.S. Supreme Court ruling. @realDonaldTrump and this regime have blatantly defied, disobeyed, and ignored FIVE federal court orders, thus far. 17) 18 U.S.C. § 1505 by "willfully withholds, misrepresents, removes from any place, conceals, covers up, destroys, mutilates, alters, or by other means falsifies any documentary material" in regards to the Epstein files. 18) The Posse Comitatus Act by deploying active military armed forces on U.S. soil. 19) The War Powers Resolution Act by NOT consulting with Congress nor meeting the threshold in order to bomb Iran without consulting Congress. This list does NOT include violations of international laws.

AMAZING CLOSING ARGUMENT.
Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

Billionaires mentioned in the Epstein files have donated $705 million to the Republican Party. Just in case you were wondering what it costs to cover up a criminal pedophile ring.

The Sept. U.S. trade deficit in goods was $134.9 billion, the highest ever recorded in Sept. There were only three months in history when the deficit was higher, all under Trump in 2025. Here are the facts. Measured by the size of our trade deficits, Trump has been the worst president in history on trade. The tariffs have been a complete failure. Not only have they failed to bring manufacturing back to the U.S., but the U.S. is now more dependent than ever on foreign producers. Not only are we importing more than ever, but we are now paying Trump's tariffs on those imports. Trump says trade deficits represent a loss. Judged by his own standard, Trump is the biggest loser in the history of the presidency. Also, if the economy is booming as Republicans claim, why have our trade deficits gone way up? Why are the trade deficits under Trump so much larger than they were under Biden, when, according to Trump, we had the worst economy in U.S. history? Here are the facts. When you compare Trump's first two years to Biden's last two, GDP growth and job creation are slower, inflation is higher, and budget and trade deficits are bigger. If Trump is right that under Biden we had the worst economy in history, and the Trump economy is objectively worse on all counts, then the Trump economy is now the worst economy in history.

It’s crazy how the President is implicated in a child sex trafficking ring and Republicans don’t care at all.
🚨 BREAKING: Democrats release report showing Trump's involvement in Epstein’s trafficking scheme. Five women have now accused Trump of rape or sexual assault.

The @GOP must be thrilled that 11 days before elections, we learn that the Trump family secretly orchestrated a deal to allow Russians to drill Alaska in exchange for a $25 billion "investment" funneled through their proxies.
And another. Trump isn’t just betraying Ukraine to the Kremlin, he’s selling out America too.

Trump: "Why wouldn't you listen to a mother that says that?" @albamonica: "She stayed with a stepfather who was charged with raping his stepdaughter in 1978, sir." Trump: "You just keep talking." Alba: "I am answering you, sir." Trump: "I don't know anything about stepfathers."

In case you thought this was ever about NATO or the Nazis.
Russian President Vladimir Putin cited genetics to declare that Russians and Ukrainians are “one people” and reiterated his claim to Ukrainian territory, saying: “I think that it is not their territory but the historical territory of Russia.” wapo.st/48aZaZF

Economic analysis shows that the Trump admin claimed they added 1,200,000 new jobs to the economy in 2025. They later corrected this number down to only 116,000 jobs, a 90% drop from their initial number.
