Trump and his pedophile Bestie

Obstructing Justice

The “Epstein Files Transparency Act” mandates Trump’s Department of Retribution, formerly the DOJ, to publicly release all unclassified records, documents, and communications related to Epstein’s investigations by Dec. 19, 2025. Yet, in defiance of the law, only 1% of the files have been released. Meanwhile, Trump ramps up chaos in Minnesota, Greenland & beyond as a distraction from the Epstein files.

ICE Goons at Milan Olympics

"ICE for the US, Delta Force for the rest of the world" needs updating.  In a move that appears to have blindsided Italian officials, ICE goons will travel to Milan as "diplomatic security." The prospect of ICE in Italy after two extrajudicial murders on the streets of Minneapolis sparked strong reactions. Mayor Giuseppe Sala said of the ICE Gestapo, “This is a militia that kills, a militia that enters into the homes of people, signing their own permission slips. It is clear they are not welcome in Milan, without a doubt. " RAI state TV recently aired video of ICE thugs threatening to break the glass on the vehicle of a RAI crew reporting in Minneapolis. US law enforcement agencies have provided support for previous Olympics, but that was before ICE was turned into the MAGA Gestapo.  (Variety)

MAGA Jesus is Not the Real Jesus

It’s rather remarkable, really, to see tens of millions of Christians validate, to themselves and to one another, a political movement led by a malignant narcissist—who is driven by hate and bent on revenge, who mocks the dead, and who delights in inflicting pain on the powerless. The wreckage to the Christian faith is incalculable, yet most evangelicals will never break with him.

TikTrump

The Trump regime has turned a potential vehicle of foreign propaganda into an active tool for right-wingnut domestic propaganda.  China and the US signed off on a deal whereby ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, sells 80% of its US business to a consortium of investors led by Oracle, private equity firm Silver Lake, and MGX, a state-owned investment firm in the UAE.  The video app has 1.6–2.0 billion monthly active users worldwide as of 2025, representing engagement from roughly a quarter or more of all internet users. It is now controlled by what Forbes calls a "web of billionaire pals, partners and Trump supporters" willing to juice the TikTok algorithm in support of their reactionary political views.  Trump pal Larry Ellison, a frequent visitor to the White House and the Winter Palace, owns Oracle. Ellison bought Paramount studio for his baby boy, who installed Bari Weiss at CBS with orders to turn it into Faux News Lite.  MGX, an Emirati investment company, invested $2 billion in USD1, a stablecoin developed by the Trump family’s cryptocurrency firm, World Liberty Financial, to invest in the crypto exchange Binance.

Chaos, Cruelty, Corruption

    Checking in on the Trump Raj

    Narco-terrorism was always the flimsiest of pretexts.  Now Trump has unilaterally committed the US to a multiyear, open-ended operation to run Venezuela with no plan and zero domestic debate. Not satisfied with transforming the US into Trumpistan, the Lord of the Flies aims to dominate the Western Hemisphere.

      It’s the Oil, Stupid.

      Mafia Don Trump and the MAGOP Congress are reviving outdated colonialist ideas, particularly regarding Venezuela, which has the largest crude oil reserves. Trump’s arrest of Maduro contradicts both the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution, undermining constitutional checks on his power. Trump’s fossil fuel agenda ignores climate science, threatening life on earth for future generations.
