Sidney Blumenthal & Sean Wilentz discussed Melania Trump's recent press conference on "The Court of History" They speculated that she must know something is about to be revealed about her ties to Epstein, otherwise she wouldn't have felt compelled to make some of the statements that she did
COURIER's @ninaburleigh.bsky.social examines Italian 'party boy,' alleged abuser, and Epstein buddy Paolo Zampolli — and his relationship with Melania Trump — in this week's must-read edition of American Freakshow.
I forgot about Nunes, one of the original maga clowns 🤡
CONGRATULATIONS VIRGINIA!
CONGRATS DEMOCRATS!🌊
CONGRATS AMERICA!🇺🇸
Suck it, MAGA. 😏
A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.
Gavin Newsom and Texas Democrats deserve flowers for this because they warned Abbott that if he continued with all this gerrymandering, other states would follow.
Tonight, Virginia follows California in the fight for fair elections. FAFO!
Remember this? Former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark surrendered to Georgia authorities after being charged in the racketeering case along with former President Donald Trump and 17 others in connection with efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

This is a senator L. Louise Lucas appreciation post
Crystal Brown, a cousin, told news that the couple were separating and had been due to appear in court on Monday. "He murdered his children… he shot his wife,” she said. Two women are in critical condition and a ninth child was taken to hospital after jumping from the roof of the home to escape.
Former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, a rising star in the Democratic Party until sexual assault allegations ruined his political fortunes, killed his estranged wife and then himself weeks before a judge’s deadline to move out of their family home, according to police and court records.
Reminder that Louisiana does NOT have universal background checks or red flag laws.
The state DOES have the site of the most recent mass shooting that stole the lives of eight young kids. Louisiana leaders must act now to pass the laws proven to save lives.
Well done, Donald. With your usual 3D chess brilliance, you have given Virginia extra Democratic seats. Glory!
I can’t remember: did Texas even hold a vote to amend their constitution to add their five Republican seats?
The same people who cheered when Texas announced it would implement redistricting to eliminate Democratic seats are now going insane that other states are retaliating by redistricting to offset the gains that Texas handed to Republicans.
Today is a good day for democracy 💥
Donald Trump, Greg Abbott, and Mike Johnson tried to rig midterms… and still took the L.
Virginia voters understood the assignment. They saw it for what it was and obliterated it.
Trump is melting down on Truth Social tonight.
Because both Britain and the United States are confronting outbreaks, I am sharing my story. Parents should know just how dangerous this disease is.

South Korean police said Tuesday they are seeking to arrest music mogul Bang Si-Hyuk, chairman of the agency behind K-pop supergroup BTS, as they expand an investigation into allegations that he illegally gained more than $100 million in an investor fraud scheme. https://to.pbs.org/4mIfac9
Massive Reverse Brainwash funnies.
The Onion wants to make us submissive slaves to the New world order.
Correct.
In California, we’ll continue to provide health care for our people.
We’re not backing down in the face of Donald Trump’s massive cuts to Medi-Cal.
Campaign-style graphic featuring Xavier Becerra smiling in profile against a teal and orange background. Large headline reads “BECERRA AHEAD IN NEW POLLS.” Two poll results are shown: one lists Becerra at 23% and Steve Hilton at 20% (source: Independent Voter Project), and another lists Steve Hilton at 17% and Becerra at 14% (source: Evitarus). Bottom right includes “Becerra for Governor” branding with a California outline.
Each new poll tells the same story — this movement is growing.
California, I'm grateful, and I’m ready to lead as your governor.

When I am Governor — if you start chasing people, including U.S. citizens, we get to come after you.
Cross that line in California and we will investigate you. We will arrest you. And we will prosecute you.
US negotiating partners were CH, RU, FR, UK & GE, an unprecedented alliance brought together by POTUS Obama. Trump has no negotiating partners w/ ... not one. Trump told this lie about the deal that Kerry negotiated: "It was a guaranteed road to a nuclear weapon" - @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social 2/
The Iran nuclear deal was negotiated by POTUS Obama thru his State Dept starting w/ Sec of State @hillaryclinton.bsky.social & concluded successfully by Sec of State Kerry ... single most important diplomatic achievement of our lifetimes, there isn't a close second - @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social 1/
POTUS Obama sent the most experienced,expert negotiating team ever sent on a diplomatic mission for the US ... not a single nuclear expert in Trump's negotiating team. Just ... his son-in-law, a real estate operator & JD Vance - @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social 5/
