ARREST TRUMP NOW

Rep. Ted Lieu says the full Epstein files show that everything Trump is accused of is true, and that the evidence is “ample.”

Notice something important.
Trump is not threatening to sue over these allegations.
Ask yourself: why not?
Because. They. Are. True.

IF HE SUED THERE WOULD BE DISCOVERY EVIDENCE THAT PROVES IT’S TRUE.

Gavin Newsom Fires Back at ‘Brain-Dead Moron’ Donald Trump as Feud Explodes Four women who worked for Jeffrey Epstein were given immunity in his 2008 plea deal.
https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/trump/2025/09/03/jeffrey-epstein-case-these-4-women-might-know-about-any-client-list/85937418007/
As the Jeffrey Epstein case continues to take center stage with Congress returning from break Sept. 2, some members of the public haven’t stopped clamoring for what they believe the federal government is holding back: a client list.
The Department of Justice on July 7 announced that there is none, and at the same time said there would be no more records released. This has infuriated President Donald Trump’s MAGA base and Democrats alike.
Where would a client list be? Four women who worked for Epstein in the 2000s might know. At least one scheduled massages with minors that reportedly turned into sexual abuse, according to court documents. Another put them on planes to his properties in the U.S.
They were all named and given immunity in the infamous plea deal Epstein got in which federal prosecutors agreed to drop a 60-count indictment and allowed him to plead guilty to two state prostitution-related charges.
It’s not clear whether anyone has spoken to law enforcement or members of Congress recently.
Here’s where they are now:
Sarah Kellen Vickers, survivor who scheduled appointments
Massie found the Alexander brothers in the Epstein files.
DOJ redacted their last name.
Kash Patel said the files contained no sex trafficking evidence.
All three Alexander brothers were previously convicted sex traffickers.
The cover-up is always worse than the crime.

FBI | Shocking DOJ report on Epstein victim interview: infants, rapes, ritual killings, dismemberment, cannibalism, and Trump’s presence.
In DOJ records (EFTA00147661), internal FBI and NYPD correspondence from August 2019 reveals the shocking claims of an Epstein victim.…
The testimony includes, among others:
– rape on a yacht in 2000 involving Jeffrey Epstein and former President Bill Clinton, in the presence of Donald Trump and Melania,
– accounts of ritual killings of infants, mutilations, dismemberment, and cannibalism,
Agents noted that the claims had no evidence or witnesses, and the individual was emotionally unstable. The record states: “We do not recommend expending further investigative resources on these claims.”

Jack Smith had 86 witnesses ready to convict Donald Trump for attempting a coup on Jan 6 (all of them were Republicans) and for hoarding classified documents. The report is now blocked by Trump
Judge Aileen Cannon. We all should be making more noise – about this!

@JohnFugelsang
I just want to point out that I have NEVER called Stephen Miller “Satan’s Butt Plug.”
What I ACTUALLY said was that Stephen Miller’s HEAD looks like Satan’s Butt Plug.
And I wish people would stop twisting my words.

Lindsay Graham and Donald Trump have a lot more in common than anyone realizes. Some of us realize that Trump became Roy Cohen’s protege for a variety of reasons. Trump’s an old school classic semi-repressed closet case in many ways.
One of them dyes his hair blond, wears bronzer and loves interior decorating. The other is Lindsey Graham.

BREAKING: The Senate has passed the biggest housing affordability bill in 30 years, and it includes a ban on investors buying single-family homes. The bill passed 89-10.
Senate passes major housing affordability bill by Elizabeth Warren and Tim Scott 89-10, a rare bipartisan breakthrough on a salient issue. Trump-Tim Scott-Elizabeth Warren bill combining abundance and anti-monopoly politics on housing, passes the Senate with 89 votes to 10 no votes. Future Democratic leader Brian Schatz is a no.

How AI Impacts Skill Formation

@socialwithaayan

Anthropic just published a study proving their own AI makes you worse at learning new skills.

BREAKING: Anthropic just published a study proving their own AI makes you worse at learning new skills. Not some outside critic taking shots. The company that made Claude themselves. They put together this experiment with about fifty developers learning a brand new programming library they’d never seen before. One group had AI help the whole way through. The other group went at it without any assistance. The ones with AI felt productive as hell. Answers came quick. They were shipping code left and right. Everything felt smooth. Then the tests hit. Real understanding of the library? The AI group got crushed. Weaker conceptual grasp. They struggled more just reading through code. Debugging became a nightmare. The AI had been doing the thinking so their own brains never had to step up. I caught myself doing the exact same thing a while back when I was forcing through a new framework. Felt like a genius until I had to explain it without the chat open. Brutal. They went deeper and mapped out the different ways people actually interact with these tools while coding. Only some of those ways let real learning happen. The others give you this fake sense of progress — you’re moving fast, tasks are getting done, but your actual skill level stays zero. The worst offender by far was full delegation. People who just handed the whole thing over to the AI got a little speed boost but walked away knowing less than they did at the start. They used the tool. The tool used their time. And here’s what really lands different. This isn’t some random researcher warning about AI from the outside. These folks work at Anthropic. They build the models. They put this line straight in the paper: AI-enhanced productivity is not a shortcut to competence. That sentence is going to stick with a lot of people. The thing is, this isn’t just about developers. Every field right now is pushing beginners to use AI to “learn faster.” Law, medicine, writing, data stuff, finance, engineering you name it. But if leaning on AI during the actual learning phase quietly damages how real competence forms, then we’ve got a generation building careers on ground that was never properly packed down. They can get the model to spit out answers. Thinking for themselves when it counts? Different story. What they also pointed out that most people are missing completely is that the skills you’ll need to properly supervise AI in the future the deep understanding, the ability to read between the lines, to catch its mistakes are exactly the ones getting eroded right now. You can’t audit what you never learned to build yourself. It’s kind of like learning guitar by only ever playing along with perfect backing tracks and auto-tune. You can perform songs pretty quick, but take the training wheels off in a real jam session and suddenly your ear and timing never developed the way they should have. Anthropic isn’t out here saying ditch the AI completely. They’re saying learn the thing first on its own terms. Bring the AI in after. If you’re starting something new, maybe sit in the suck for a bit longer than feels comfortable before calling in the assistant.

The knowledge required to supervise AI effectively is the same knowledge that makes you irreplaceable. Anthropic just proved it with their own product. “Don’t outsource your brain. Every task you hand entirely to AI is a skill you stop developing.”

When Corrupt Politicians Start Going To Jail, Then We Can Start Trusting The Government Again.

QUESTION: Is congress  incompetent and inept?

Jack Smith testified publicly today on all the evidence he collected and why Donald Trump was lawfully indicted.
Everyone should watch.

Smith: Our investigation revealed that Donald Trump is the person who caused January 6th, that it was foreseeable to him and that he sought to exploit the violence.

READ IT AGAIN

Smith: Our investigation revealed that Donald Trump is the person who caused January 6th, that it was foreseeable to him and that he sought to exploit the violence.

ARTICLE || SECTION 4 of the CONSTITUTION
…establishes the process of impeachment and removal for the President, Vice President, and all Civil Officers of the United States, stating they shall be removed from office upon impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

JACK SMITH SAYS

Jack Smith now under oath gives his opening statement.
Noting: “Donald Trump willfully broke the law.” “Two separate grand juries supported these findings” “We developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that he engaged in criminal activity”

Jack Smith just said that Trump intimidated witnesses via death threats!

“I had grave concerns about obstruction of justice in this investigation, specifically with regards to Donald Trump… I was aware during the course of our investigation, of targeting of witnesses, during the course of the conspiracy itself. There were election workers who had their lives turned upside down and received vile death threats because they were targeted by Donald Trump… Donald Trump suggested that one witness should be put to death and also made a statement to the effect of ‘if you come after me, I’m coming after you.’ In my mind, I can’t think of a more direct threat.”

Jack Smith: “As I testify before the Committee today, I want to be clear: I stand by my decisions as Special Counsel, including my decision to bring charges against President Trump. Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in criminal activity. If asked whether to prosecute a former President based on the same facts today, I would do so regardless of whether that President was a Republican or a Democrat.”

Rep. Raskin: “[Congressional Republicans] have been saying that there’s some kind of First Amendment defense that Donald Trump would have had to the crimes you indicted him for.” Jack Smith: “The First Amendment does not protect speech that facilitates a crime.”

Smith: I made my decisions without regard to president trump’s political association, activities, beliefs or candidacy in the 2024 election. President Trump was charged because the evidence established that he willfully broke the law, the very laws he took an oath to uphold.

"The investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in criminal activity… No one should be above the law in this country and the law required he be held to account.”

Jack Smith: “President Trump was charged because the evidence established that he willfully broke the law — the very laws he took an oath to uphold. Grand juries in 2 separate districts reached this conclusion based on his actions. Rather than accept his defeat in the 2020, President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power. After leaving office in January 2021, President Trump illegally kept classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago social club and repeatedly tried to obstruct justice to conceal his continued retention of those documents. Highly sensitive national security information was held in a ballroom and bathroom.”

Jack Smith just laid it out in plain English: Trump didn’t “question” the election. He ran a criminal scheme to overturn it. Pressure state officials to ignore real vote counts. Manufacture fake electors in 7 states. Coerce his Vice President to break his oath. Send a mob to the Capitol to stop certification. Then use the violence to buy more time. That’s not politics. That’s a coup attempt.

Trump’s 100% GUILT: SMITH: The evidence established…Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the 2024 results…and illegally kept classified documents…in a bathroom.” BOOM.

IT IS LEGAL TO ARREST THE PRESIDENT

@RepJohnLarson
🚨The Trump Administration just admitted that ‘DOGE’ sent confidential records to Elon Musk’s consigliere, traded data on a private server, and schemed to hand your information to a group trying to overturn elections. They must be fully investigated & prosecuted for their crimes.

@SenSchumer
Remember when the Supreme Court gave DOGE the green light to access your social security data?
It was never about curtailing waste, fraud, and abuse.
The DOJ just admitted DOGE was “secretly” in touch with advocacy groups “seeking to overturn election results.”
The idea being: use a trove of personal information to disenfranchise voters and change election results. DOGE accessing your data was illegal. Using it to overturn election results is illegal. We must hold the DOGE staff involved accountable.

Trump and Elon Musk used Starlink to Install Trump in 2024 Election !

@AnnaBower
U.S. Attorneys are inferior officers. As Todd is aware, the Constitution explicitly permits Congress to vest the appointment of inferior officers in “Courts of Law.”
He shall have Power, by and with the
Advice and Consent of the Senate, to
make Treaties, provided two thirds of the
Senators present concur; and he shall
nominate, and by and with the Advice
and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint
Ambassadors, other public Ministers and
Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court,
and all other Officers of the United
States, whose Appointments are not
herein otherwise provided for, a which
shall be established by Law: but the
Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as
they think proper, in the President alone,
in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

Even if U.S. attorneys were principal officers, the president’s appointment power is subject to advice and consent of the Senate. President Trump could resolve the U.S. Attorney issue in EDVA by nominating a candidate that the Republican-controlled Senate will actually confirm.

it’s guaranteed that the President gets to pick his U.S. attorneys
Federal law allows for the judges in a
district without a Senate-confirmed U.S.
attorney to select a temporary
replacement, and the court’s moves on
Tuesday suggest it plans to go forward with
doing so.
If the court did appoint a new U.S. attorney,
it is likely that the president would try to
fire that person and put his own choice —
possibly Ms. Halligan — back in the job.

DAVOS

What was really happening in Davos was off-camera and behind closed doors. Shadow diplomacy. Back-channel meetings involving Jared Kushner, Kirill Dmitriev, and Steve Witkoff—discussions not about peace, but about division, control, and profits. The same model we’ve already seen play out in Venezuela is now being positioned for Russia and Eastern Europe: American and Russian oligarchs partnering up, carving out energy dominance, backed by Trump-aligned donors and “investors” who know exactly what they’re buying into.
Steve Witkoff ran away when I confronted him about his financial ties to Russia.
His real estate company has been bankrolled directly by a former advisor to Vladimir Putin’s sovereign wealth fund.
He’s been making pro russia statements for months.

HSBC BEST DOCUMENTARY

From the director of ‘Goldman Sachs: The Bank that Rules the World’ comes a major new investigation into corruption at one of the world’s top financial institutions – HSBC. If HSBC were a country, it would be the fifth world economic power. Founded during the golden age of the Opium trade to enable the British Empire to access the Chinese market, it has created a unique network to move dirty money around the world. From tax evasion to money laundering for the mafia and manipulation of currency, “this bank had done everything bad that a bank can possibly do.” In 2012, HSBC nearly lost its license to operate in the US for laundering the money of the Mexican and Columbian drug cartels. Criminal charges were filed and HSBC’s executives hauled before a Senate committee. But George Osborne, UK’s then Chancellor of the Exchequer, wrote to his counterpart in America and to the Chairman of the Federal Reserve to plead for leniency. He claimed that if HSBC received a harsh punishment, it would have serious repercussions on the world’s financial and economic stability. The letter worked and HSBC was fined 2 billion euros. The equivalent of one month’s profits. As the center of international finance moves to Asia, HSBC is in prime position. It is the most Chinese of Western banks and the most European of Chinese banks. Protected by London, blessed by Beijing, who would dare attack it?

BITCOIN JESUS A billionaire known as “Bitcoin Jesus” was under indictment for massive criminal tax fraud and very likely going to prison.
Then, he hired a “Friend of Trump” and the criminal charges disappeared.
How did they do it? @AASchapiro and I spent months getting the inside story.

BITCOIN

Tim Draper @TimDraper

I initially bought Bitcoin for $4 per coin. Not because I understood the tech (I didn’t). Not because I saw the future (I couldn’t).
But because someone explained how digital currency could change the world for people who didn’t have traditional banking access.
I had committed $250K to CoinLab and another $250K to purchase coins at $4 per coin when Peter Vinceennes (founder of CoinLab) said he’d mine it for me.
Peter tried to store the bitcoin at Mt. Gox, and the money “disappeared.”
When the US Marshal’s office auctioned 30,000 bitcoins, I jumped back in.
I bid $632 per coin vs. market price of $618 because I believed Bitcoin was truly changing the game. I won all nine lots.
The price almost immediately fell to $180, but I held on.
To thank the speakers at the first class of Draper University, I gave them some physical Bitcoin coins.
Some of them have torn apart their houses looking for them.

14 Year Old Rape Victim

Earlier this year @RonWyden revealed Epstein’s Treasury file

showed 4,725 wire transfers totaling nearly $1.1 billion—all from a single bank account.
The Epstein files show JP Morgan’s involvement.
It’s time for @SecScottBessent + Trump Admin to stop blocking the release of these SARs and FINCEN records so we can hold accountable the elites that were involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking operation.
Pass Wyden’s Produce Epstein Treasury Records Act (PETRA) now and force Trump admin to stop covering up these financial records.

Proud Navy Veteran @naretevduorp
The Epstein Files Are Central to America’s Authoritarian Drift
Many people treat the Epstein files as a standalone scandal. They are not. The way those files have been controlled, fragmented, and insulated from real accountability reflects the same logic driving America’s authoritarian drift:
Power is protected, truth is managed, and consequences are reserved for those without status or leverage.
Shielding powerful figures from accountability, as seen in the controlled handling of the Epstein files, is a textbook marker of authoritarian drift in the United States.
Authoritarian systems do not abolish laws outright; they selectively enforce them, ensuring consequences fall on the powerless while the elite remain insulated.
When evidence involving influential individuals is withheld, delayed, or fragmented, the justice system ceases to function as an equal arbiter and instead becomes a tool of regime stability and elite protection. This dynamic teaches the public that truth is negotiable, accountability is conditional, and power, not law, determines outcomes.
Over time, such normalization erodes democratic trust, discourages civic resistance, and reinforces a hierarchy where loyalty and status override transparency and justice, moving the country closer to a managed, authoritarian model rather than a constitutional democracy.

DEPORT IMMIGRANT ELON MUSK
IS HERE ILLEGALLY

Elon Musk is one of Donald Trump’s biggest supporters in ridding the country of illegal immigrants but nobody talks about the fact that he also held the classification himself! He obtained his citizenship illegally shouldn’t he be treated exactly like any other illegal immigrant? Absolutely. ICE should come and put his ass in a detainment camp, then put his ass on ConAir straight to South Africa. Piece of shit.

DESTROY THE METRICS DESTROY THE TRUTH

On Trump’s orders, the National Center for Atmospheric Research will be shut down after more than 50 years as a leader in global research on climate science and monitoring. This is what authoritarian science looks like.

Thune secures provision in government funding bill (snuck in) Letting senators sue for phone records seizure. The party of law and order has turned into the party of rewarding criminals.
The new legislative language is an escalation of the GOP’s efforts to discredit former special counsel Jack Smith.

Politico is reporting Senate Majority Leader John Thune inserted the provision, which could allow payouts of millions in taxpayer money to Republican Senators in his conference.

They got phone records…no wiretapping. It was metadata. Perfectly legal in investigations.Their phone records were subpoenaed via grand jury and their toll data was obtained. Wire tapping and toll data records are not synonymous. A grand jury subpoena was issued for the phone records of several Republican senators in 2023 as part of the special counsel’s January 6 investigation. The subpoena targeted telecommunications companies, not the senators directly, and sought call log data.

Late last night, the Senate voted 60–40 to end the shutdown. Also added was a Repub provision that will let senators sue the fed gov’t for at least $500K if their phone records are secretly seized as part of a fed investigation. A potential payday for Repubs under investigation.

THERE WAS NO VIOLATION

A subpoena is a legal method to get date, time, and number dialed information. The phone companies routinely respond to these subpoenas every day.

These republican senators are MONETIZING that their phone records were subpoenaed as part of the Jan 6 insurrection investigation. Unreal. It’s brazen corruption and self dealing.  Republican Senators put a provision in the leg branch approps bill to let themselves sue for millions in taxpayer money over Jan. 6 wiretaps. If Trump’s DOJ doesn’t fight them they just get a bunch of money.

If Trump’s DOJ doesn’t fight them they just get a bunch of money. Like an earmark but it goes to them personally:

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/us/politics/senators-shutdown-smith-phone-searches.html

It was basic phone record data- who called what number, for how long, not call contents.

Because the provision is retroactive to 2022, it would appear to make eligible the eight
lawmakers whose phone records were subpoenaed by investigators for Mr. Smith as he examined efforts by Donald J. Trump to obstruct the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Each violation would be worth at least $500,000 in any legal claim, according to the bill language. The bill would also sharply limit the way the government could resist such a claim, taking away any government claims of qualified or sovereign immunity to fight a lawsuit over the issue.

The Republican senators whose phone records were subpoenaed as part of the investigation were:
Lindsey Graham of South Carolina,
Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty of Tennessee,
Josh Hawley of Missouri,
Dan Sullivan of Alaska,
Tommy Tuberville of Alabama,
Ron Johnson of Wisconsin,
Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming
Ted Cruz (R-TX) says he is eligible
Representative Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania also had his phone records subpoenaed but would not be eligible because he is a member of the House.
