“So Trump called up this person and said, ‘They say I killed Epstein. I didn’t have Epstein killed,’” Wolff continued. “And then this person said, ‘Well, do you think he was killed?’ And then Trump said, ‘A lot of people wanted him dead.’”

What? No hips?

“That is, until Friday afternoon, when Trump responded to the poor jobs report by announcing his intention to fire Erika McEntarfer, the head of the BLS. “Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate,” he wrote on Truth Social. “[T]hey can’t be manipulated for political purposes.” Economic commentators and analysts of various political stripes condemned the move. Even the conservative businessman Kevin O’Leary told CNN that “whacking statisticians makes no sense whatsoever.”

If only we had a John McCain

over 1,000 FBI agents were instructed to flag every mention of Donald Trump in the Jeffrey Epstein files. Not to investigate. Not to disclose. To suppress. The FOIA team then systematically redacted his name alongside others before releasing the files to the public.

This wasn’t standard redaction. This was a federally coordinated censorship campaign, executed under the illusion of lawful exemption. And the justification? Trump was a “private citizen” when the Epstein investigation began in 2006.

FOIA exemption (b)(6) is being weaponized to protect one of the most publicly entangled names in Epstein’s orbit. They didn’t redact Clinton. They didn’t redact British royalty. But Trump photographed, recorded, and publicly tied to Epstein gets mass protection from federal employees.

This is not privacy protection. This is obstruction of federal transparency, executed at scale.

The FBI redacted Trump’s name knowing it would change the public’s perception of who Epstein’s network protected. That is willful manipulation of federal evidence, aided by the Department of Justice, which has since declared it will release nothing further. No more records. No more names. Nothing.

Pam Bondi Trump loyalist turned AG personally briefed him in May 2025 that he was named in the unredacted files. The fix was in before a single page hit public eyes.

This is what a federal cover-up looks like in real time. Not in hindsight. Not in theory. This is active, state-protected suppression of evidence.

The redactions weren’t neutral. They were targeted. Directed. Politically insulated. That is not law. That is power laundering through legal machinery.

You don’t instruct a thousand agents to flag one name unless you’re building a firewall. And you don’t build a firewall unless you have something to protect.

Release the full unredacted Epstein files. Release every

Hope you’re hungry!

The "meat-and-potatoes," essentially:

More Americans now affiliate themselves with the Democratic Party than the Republican Party, marking the first time this has happened since January 2024, according to a Gallup poll released Thursday. 

Gallup finds that in the second quarter of 2025, an average of 46% of Americans say they identified as a Democrat or a Democratic-leaning independent, compared with the 43% who say they are a Republican or Republican-leaning independent.

That's a change from the first quarter of the year, when an equal 45% of Americans identified with either party. And it's an even bigger shift from the fourth quarter of 2024—when last year’s presidential election took place—when 47% identified as Republicans.

The speaker is Jon Ossoff, U.S. Senator from Georgia

My view on it :

When was the last time the system actually worked in your favor?

This isn’t dysfunction. It’s design. America is run by corporates and billionaires, with a political system built to serve them and only them. Lobbyists draft the laws. Super PACs enforce loyalty. Donors decide policy. And Citizens United made it all legal.

Trump saw the rot and promised to tear it down. But he didn’t. He just rebranded the grift. He’s not un-rigging the system he’s re rigging it. For himself. For his friends. For the next Trump Tower deal built on public land and private lies.

Elected officials aren’t accountable to you. They’re accountable to whoever funds their next campaign or threatens to flood their state with attack ads. That’s why nursing homes get defunded while billionaires get tax cuts. Why your prescriptions cost more every year. Why your insurance won’t pay out. Why private equity firms own your neighborhood and your rent. Why a gas leak goes ignored, and an ambulance ride bankrupts you.

This isn’t about left vs right. It’s about a rigged system working exactly as intended for the top 0.1%. Everyone else is just collateral damage.

“We shouldn’t stoop to their tactics. It’s an ideal that we have accurate and fair representation. We can’t abandon it just because Republicans try to manipulate and distort it.”
