I was just thinking that it would likely be much easier to count the few who have no Epstein ties than the many who are guilty as hell.

🧵2/2
The rupture isn’t abstract—it’s Trump vs. Starmer as alliance strain meets scandal politics. Trade tensions, Iran splits, and now Epstein hypocrisy eroding trust. Leadership isn’t just policy; it’s credibility—and this spectacle burns it down.

Trump Melts Down at Major U.S. Ally After New Epstein Drama The president was close friends with the late sex trafficker for more than 15 years.

🧵1/2
Donald Trump blasts U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer over Epstein-linked judgment—while his own 15-year association with Jeffrey Epstein shadows his already teetering presidency. Projection isn’t accountability; it’s power deflecting scrutiny. #TrumpEpstein #GlobalHypocrisy

Evasion became a pattern: no answer on 2020, no stance on defending Fed independence, no clarity on who profits from his divestments. The issue isn’t just ethics gaps—it’s a willingness to bend reality to please Trump while asking to steer the economy. #FedIntegrity #DemocracyAtRisk

Trump’s Fed Goon Cornered on Financial Ties to Epstein Kevin Warsh was repeatedly questioned over millions of dollars in undisclosed investments.

🧵1/2
A Fed chair nominee sitting on $100M in undisclosed assets, ducking a yes-or-no on Epstein-linked vehicles, and treating oversight like a nuisance. This isn’t complexity—it’s concealment. Monetary authority without transparency is how private power captures public policy. #TrumpEpsteinNetwork

They warned you one bad habit fries the brain. Trump went industrial—"shadowboxing the air" while Epstein’s name hangs over him like a bad smell you can’t Febreze. Decades in the orbit, still playing dumb. Not steering the country—just grabbing reality and double-jerking it for applause.

Why is the Maga project teetering? Because not even Trump supporters voted for this dysfunction | Moira Donegan The president’s fixation on culture-war grievances is a colossal misreading of voters who just want prices to come down, says Guardian US columnist Moira Donegan

Trump rode economic anger back to power, then governs like a culture-war broadcaster. Prices climb, wages stall, and voters get grievance theater instead of relief. The result is visible: collapsing approval and a coalition splintering under the weight of unmet promises. #MAGAFracture #TrumpFailure

So, I'm curious, what does dear old Ron have to say about JD Vance?

The lucky few who can apply for tariff refunds The Trump administration launched its tariff refund portal. Will the refunds really happen?

$166 billion in tariffs ruled unlawful—and the “refund” goes to corporations, not the public that paid through higher prices. Consumers get nothing. A policy that taxed everyone quietly now reimburses the few loudly. That’s not correction. That’s extraction with a legal aftertaste. #TariffRipoff

This pressure campaign scales nationwide—requests to states, setbacks in court, and talk of imminent charges tied to recycled conspiracy theories. The pattern isn’t about past votes; it’s about conditioning the public to distrust the next result. #2028Election #AuthoritarianPlaybook

Key swing state obliterates Trump's 'absurd' election interference demand President Donald Trump's crusade to prove his false claims about election fraud and pave the way for future interference fell flat, according to a report from The New Republic, with leaders in Michiga...

🧵1/2
A president who won Michigan still demands its ballots, pushing DOJ to chase debunked fraud claims. State leaders call it “absurd,” but the aim is clear: turn law enforcement into a tool to intimidate clerks and cast doubt on elections he already won. #ElectionInterference #DemocracyUnderAttack

🧵2/2
Allegations spanning both parties, minors, staffers, settlements, & repeat probes—yet the system bends to exits, not justice. Even now, members under investigation keep endorsements. The scandal isn’t isolated acts; it’s an institution engineered to outlast them. #CongressCoverUp #EthicsFailure

Congress publishes list of 28 House investigations for sexual misconduct — in wake of major scandals The House Ethics Committee published a list Monday of all its publicly disclosed sexual misconduct investigations into members stretching back to 1976.

🧵1/2
Nearly 50 years of sexual misconduct investigations—28 cases—and Congress still treats accountability like optional homework. Members resign before findings, jurisdiction evaporates, settlements stay obscured. Power protects itself, and the public is handed fragments instead of truth.

Trump Sabotages His Own Much-Exaggerated Iran Deal - The American Prospect Did the president screw up a possible agreement with his own impulsivity? Or was the imminent deal that he touted on Friday an illusion all along?

Trump had de-escalation in hand and detonated it himself: markets calmed, the Strait reopened, trust inched forward—then he reversed course, enforced a blockade, and reignited the crisis. This is not strength. It is impulsive ruin posing as foreign policy. #TrumpIranChaos #DiplomaticCollapse

Contradictory signals, missed deadlines, and “strategic ambiguity” now define the Justice Department’s posture on #TrumpEpstein. Experts are sounding alarms as transparency is staged, not delivered, leaving victims trapped in procedural limbo. #JusticeDelayed

Trump DoJ’s mixed messages bode ill for Epstein victims, experts fear Non-appearance of Pam Bondi and remarks from Todd Blanche suggest full accounting may never be revealed

🧵1/2
Subpoenas collapse if power can simply refuse to appear. Former attorney general, Pam Bondi, skips testimony on Epstein files, and the system shrugs. Oversight gives way to political loyalty, and accountability stops exactly where power and privilege decide it should. #TrumpEpsteinFiles

Yet the deepest outrage is Dhillon’s hypocrisy. Once an ACLU board member fighting anti-Sikh bias, she now leads a division marred by court-rejected errors and MAGA ideological zeal. Her elevation would cement the DOJ as a #RevengeEngine, shredding equal justice and democratic safeguards.

🧵2/3
Dhillon’s tactics lay bare a DOJ drifting into vendetta theater. She blasts investigation notices at Cassidy Hutchinson and Don Lemon on social media, sidelining protocol. Career staff face ideological vetting and mass exile, replaced by allies rushing cases on flimsy reports. #WeaponizedDOJ

Harmeet Dhillon: DoJ lawyer a top contender for Trump’s retribution mission Pugilistic presence has laid waste to civil rights decision – her take-no-prisoners approach has alarmed legal experts but earned president’s plaudits

🧵1/3
Harmeet Dhillon stands poised to lead #TrumpRetribution at the DOJ. She gutted the Civil Rights Division, dropping minority protections to focus on white Americans & anti-trans issues. Hundreds of lawyers have fled, leaving millions vulnerable as the division becomes a shell of its former self.

If a campaign is a contract with voters, a 180° reversal isn’t “evolution”—it’s breach. Democracy needs more than elections; it needs real accountability when promises flip overnight. Elected officials—not voters—must face clear consequences when commitments are abandoned.

Not one justice in those leaked memos paused to weigh the threat of a warming planet amid their hand-wringing over industry costs. This is the Roberts legacy: a Supreme Court that traded deliberation for partisan emergency decrees, eroding its legitimacy while the world burns. #RobertsCourtFail

🧵2/3
Those same secretive powers, once used to hobble a Obama's president’s climate agenda, now deliver Trump wins on immigration, agency authority and executive overreach—often without a word. Justices who cried “irreparable harm” now enable chaos, revealing a court that serves power—not principle.

The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

🧵1/3
Chief Justice Roberts, in a frantic 5-day memo blitz, bulldozed centuries of judicial restraint to halt Obama’s Clean Power Plan before lower courts ruled. No explanation, no deliberation—just raw partisan muscle shielding coal as the planet burned. The shadow docket was born. #SCOTUSPowerGrab

An FBI director described as erratic, absent, and impaired isn’t a scandal—it’s a security failure. At a moment of war, the bureau risks drifting without judgment, discipline, or command. Institutions don’t collapse overnight; they hollow out from the top. #NationalSecurity #RuleOfLaw

If agents fear speaking out and face polygraphs for “insufficient loyalty,” the problem isn’t discipline—it’s intimidation. An FBI that punishes dissent erodes the rule of law it’s meant to defend. This is how institutions hollow out from within.

RFK Jr. Says Trump's Post About Ending 'a Whole Civilization' Was a 'Message of Love and Compassion to the Iranian People' Robert F. Kennedy Jr. argued on Capitol Hill that President Donald Trump’s threat to end Iran’s 'whole civilization' earlier this month was a 'message of love and compassion to the Iranian people'

A threat to erase “a whole civilization” gets rebranded as “love and compassion”? That’s not nuance—it’s a grotesque moral inversion. Dress annihilation in empathy and you normalize it. Language like this doesn’t clarify power; it corrodes it. This is how reality gets bent to excuse the inexcusable.
