Media must ask Trump aides who sent Papadopoulos to Israel to talk Russia policy a week after he revealed himself as a Kremlin intermediary.
2/ Papadopoulos' April '16 Israel trip is especially odd as some Trump official had changed his policy focus from the Middle East to Russia.

UPDATE: CNN confirms that "the envelope [holding the Epstein-Nassar Note] was sent from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City [where Epstein was being held] to Nassar"—*and* got vetted by federal officials.

Which explains the Virginia postmark (where the FBI is).
So (1) Why won’t the FBI release the 2020 handwriting analysis it did, if that analysis concluded the note was a forgery? (2) How did the FBI preclude the possibility—even *likelihood*—of dictation in 120 minutes? (3) Where’s the *real* Epstein-Nassar note we *know* Epstein sent?
On a separate but related note, I'm astonished at how many folks I thought smart bought the Trump FBI/DOJ explanation instantly—despite none of it making sense.

You realize these are just Trump personal lawyers with no ethics or fear of repercussions, right?

Why kowtow to them?

Trump posted this without knowing Nick Reiner was under arrest. He posted it assuming one of his fans murdered Rob Reiner. So if you want to know how Trump will react if fans start murdering his enemies, now you know. He'll celebrate and blame the victims. Image
Those claiming Trump knew he was commenting on a family dispute are not reading the confirmed, universally reported on post above. Trump makes very clear *his* understanding at the time he composed his post—which may have been last night—was that Rob was killed over his politics.
The post above is far more dangerous, disgusting, and diabolical than anyone is yet realizing. This isn't just Donald Trump pissing on the grave of a critic, it's him signaling that those who do violence in his name are justified because they were—definitionally—provoked into it.

(🧵) THREAD: I'm an Elon Musk biographer. Musk and/or his agents have programmed his AI to make false statements about me that the AI makes no effort to substantiate or correct. So here's a thread of the substantiated claims about Musk that Grok says it can make.

(🧵) So many people have Trump wrong. What he wants is not Putin's Russia or Hitler's Germany. I've studied him for a decade and can tell you that if his plans come true, America will resemble the Hermit Kingdom—North Korea—with Trump as Kim Jong-un and the rest of us in poverty.
2/ Nazism holds some above others. Trump holds himself above everyone—that's the distinction he cares about.
Russia suffers an oligarch class to exist. Trump may do so for now—but his plan is for them to be his servants.
He wants the rest of us in pain and anonymous as pond scum.
To make Trump legible to the masses, we analogize him to a kleptocrat or a fascist. And he does contain those components. But what he wants—lusts for—is to be worshipped and never denied, to shape reality to suit his whims, to not be bothered with others’ welfare and our despair.

I just woke up from a long nap, can someone tell me if Trump has already apologized to the nation for falsely blaming the Kirk assassination on the left when—as with both his assassination attempts and 85% of political violence this century per the data—it was a far-right nutjob?
He is a Groyper. The Groypers are a far-right, neo-Nazi cult made up of young far-right males who thought Kirk was insufficiently far-right. thedailybeast.com/charlie-kirk-s…

Bomb threats against the Maryland General Assembly. Bomb threats against the Michigan lieutenant governor and his family. Bomb threats against 5 HBCUs. Two arrests for violent assaults in Idaho.

In 24 hours.

All Democratic/left-leaning victims.

All suspected MAGA perpetrators.
And that wasn't a full list—not even close.

Bomb threat against the Rhode Island Senate President. Bomb threat against the Rhode Island Majority Leader. Bomb threat against the New Mexico Senate Majority Leader. Once again all Democratic victims, all suspected MAGA perpetrators.
There's no reason to have a conversation about political violence based in rhetoric rather than data.

I don't need to note that every bomb threat on Election Day in 2024 was a MAGA bomb threat.

I don't need to mention January 6, Paul Pelosi, or the two dead Minnesota Democrats. Image
