Recently ousted Rep. Thomas Massie just described Section 224 of the 2027 NDAA as a “treasonous merger” of the American and Israeli militaries. 🧵 2/
Massie emphasizes this provision would further integrate the defense and security interests of both nations in ways he believes undermine U.S. sovereignty.

Lost in the debate over Melania Trump’s connections to the Epstein network is this exchange:

Steve Bannon asks Jeffrey Epstein whether Ivana Trump was a “Madame Claude associate.”

Epstein replies that Madame Claude “only took educated women” and then explained how she sent them to accent reduction classes. Epstein called it a “brilliant op.”

Read the files for yourself. They’re often stranger than the headlines. 2/
For those unfamiliar with Madame Claude: she ran what was often described as the world’s most exclusive escort network in Paris. Her reported clientele included heads of state, billionaires, aristocrats, and some of the most powerful men of the 20th century. Many of the women in her circle later married into wealth, influence, and prominent families.

Which is what makes the Epstein-Bannon exchange about whether Ivana Trump was a “Madame Claude associate” so intriguing. It’s almost as if Epstein mirrored part of her op.

Today, Trump appointed Bill Pulte as Director of National Intelligence.

I’ve spent nearly a year investigating the Epstein files.

When I saw the announcement, I went back into my records and searched one word:

Pulte. 🔥🧵 2/
The search led me to a Palm Beach bidding war involving Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, and Bill Pulte’s father.

Then it led to a Russian billionaire.

Then it led to the Panama Papers.

I have something to share with you about the Epstein files, and there’s a chance my life becomes harder because of it.

I hope I’m wrong. But I doubt it. 🧵 2/
The American people have been betrayed on a scale that is almost impossible to comprehend.

A senior Israeli cyber official tied to a child sex sting case in Las Vegas just had the charges against him vacated after failing to appear in court.

The story itself is shocking. 🧵 2/
The deeper story is who barely covered it, how quickly it disappeared from public conversation, and the larger questions it raises about power, diplomacy, technology and accountability.

Tonight’s investigation is on Substack for subscribers.

Let’s talk solutions. 👏

We don’t need or want more closed-door hearings, internal reviews, or institutions protecting themselves behind redactions and secrecy.

We need an independent Epstein Truth Commission.

🧵 2/
The proposed commission must have subpoena power.

Financial records.
Flight records.
Communications.
Visitor logs.
Corporate structures.
Institutional connections.

Everything.

I need your help keeping eyes on this work and getting more eyes on it.

For the last 10 months, I’ve been investigating the Epstein network, survivor testimony, court filings and the systems that protected powerful people for decades. I’m preparing to release a series of books based on what I found. 🔥🧵 2/
This isn’t about becoming an influencer. I’m a journalist. This is about making sure this information reaches as many people as possible outside traditional media systems that failed survivors and the public for years.

People are massively underreacting to the horrors buried in the Epstein files.🧵 2/
The administration and corporate media keep flooding the public with distraction headlines while the DOJ still withholds the remaining files from survivors and the public.

An Epstein survivor says a JPMorgan employee followed her to another country, love-bombed her and then moved into her home—knowing she was trying to escape Jeffrey Epstein’s network. 🧵 2/
Sarah Ransome says that former JP Morgan communications employee Adam Castellani is responsible for encouraging her not to report her abuse or Epstein’s crimes to authorities.

Instead, she says he sent her to a therapist that he selected, arranged and paid for her to see.

Bard College President resigns after it was revealed he made 25 visits to Jeffrey Epstein’s properties.

Note: survivors say resignations do not equal transparency or justice. 2/
There’s a gap between how the relationship is described publicly and how it appears in the emails released as part of the Epstein files.

BREAKING

Infowars is shutting down.

The platform built by Alex Jones was once one of the most influential engines of online conspiracy media.

Infowars has finally collapsed under legal and financial pressure. 🧵 2/
This didn’t happen overnight.

Alex Jones and Infowars have faced years of defamation lawsuits (especially tied to Sandy Hook) which resulted in massive judgments that didn’t just punish Jones personally. They destabilized his entire operation.

Good morning to everyone still demanding the full release of the Epstein files.

I see you. ✊🏼

🧵 2/
The files are months overdue.

Deadlines passed. Promises faded. I’m still asking for them.

And still—no full release.

Now they’re talking about alien disclosures.

Ask yourself why.

I’ve been sitting inside Epstein’s art collection for months.

Not scrolling. Not skimming.

Sitting with it.

Because when something matters, you don’t rush it.

Last December, I came across this painting called Little Miss Pink Tomato.

It stopped me.

Not intellectually.

Viscerally.

Epstein survivors have now filed a lawsuit against the Department of Justice, the Trump administration, and Google. 🧵 2/

For months, survivors have been told the Epstein files were being released in the name of transparency.

What they’ve experienced instead is something very different.

Documents missing.
Records heavily redacted.
Files appearing and then disappearing.
And in some cases, deeply sensitive victim information exposed.

Havana Syndrome survivors say the 60 Minutes coverage is part of a larger cover-up. Several survivors told me it’s the CIA trying to portray this as a foreign threat, even though Americans—including civilians—are being targeted.
These survivors are known as “targeted individuals.” 2/
In 1961, biologist Allan H. Frey, working at GE's Advanced Electronics Center at Cornell University, published a finding in the Journal of Applied Physiology that changed the physics of hearing: pulsed microwave radiation causes humans to perceive sounds (buzzing, clicks, hissing, and with sufficient modulation, even words ) directly inside their heads, with no external sound source whatsoever.

This is accomplished using rapid microwave pulses that heat brain tissue in micro-scale bursts — temperature changes of roughly 0.00001 degrees Celsius, too small to damage tissue but sufficient to create thermoelastic expansion.

Each pulse generates a pressure wave that travels through the skull to the cochlea via bone conduction — the same pathway used by bone-conduction hearing aids.

The auditory cortex registers the signal. The brain hears a sound.

BREAKING
A newly released set of FBI interview notes from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation includes previously undisclosed allegations involving Donald Trump.

The documents were missing from the Justice Department’s public Epstein files database until recently.

Here’s what the records say. 🧵 2/
The files contain summaries of multiple FBI interviews with a woman who said she was sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein’s network.

She told investigators she was recruited and brought into Epstein’s circle while underage.

Two stories I cover just intersected and it’s worth pointing out. 🚩

Umar Dzhabrailov (Russian billionaire, politician, and man who called Ghislaine Maxwell his “soulmate”) was found in a pool of blood in Moscow yesterday (reported suicide).

He’s pictured here with Sean “Diddy” Combs at Cannes in 2008, alongside his young daughter Alvina.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I covered Combs’ RICO sex trafficking trial in SDNY last year. @innercitypress covered Combs trial live, from the courtroom.

Retired U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Neil McCasland has reportedly been listed as missing since Friday, according to local authorities.

McCasland previously served as commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory and later oversaw special access programs for the Department of the Air Force. 2/
His name became publicly known in 2016 after released emails showed communication with Tom DeLonge regarding Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) discussions before To The Stars Academy was formed.

Russian businessman Umar Dzhabrailov was found in a pool of blood at a hotel in Moscow this morning. 2/
A photograph of a young shirtless Dzhabrailov recently surfaced in the Epstein files released by the Department of Justice, raising new questions about his connections to Epstein’s network.

When asked about the image, Dzhabrailov said he did not know when or where the photo was taken.

Epstein’s base of operations was the U.S. Virgin Islands. He owned private islands there and controlled key properties, marinas, and infrastructure on St. Thomas and St. Croix. His network was deeply embedded in the territory’s political and financial systems.

Stacey Plaskett rose to power in that same environment. Court filings and reporting have revealed Epstein donated to her campaign and the network essentially placed her. The USVI granted Epstein’s companies hundreds of millions in tax breaks for their illegal operation, involving human trafficking.
Epstein remained deeply linked to the political activity in the USVI up until his arrest. He was still constructing and operating on a second island—Great Saint James.

Plaskett also sits on the House Intelligence Committee: overseeing CIA and other three letter agency activities.

During an unusual congressional hearing, viewers noted she appeared to be controlled virtually or otherwise taking psychic cues from a handler seated directly behind her. 🧵 2/

The Pentagon has announced it will deploy Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok across military networks — including classified systems.

Grok has been called “MechaHitler” and has recently come under fire for creating sexually explicit deepfakes of children, among other ethical concerns.

Musk was awarded a $200m federal contract for Grok integration. $200m government contract awarded to Musk, days after Grok being criticized for generating concerning content.
