NEW from @WSJ, currently facing lawsuit from Trump: Justice Department Told Trump in May That His Name Is Among Many in the Epstein Files wsj.com/politics/justi…
The Trump administration just wasted an enormous amount of time and resources on the Epstein nonsense, and now to distract from that they are going to waste an enormous amount of time and resources on this Obama nonsense. US government moving from one fantasy to another
Leavitt gets mad at Kaitlin Collins for asking if Gabbard is releasing this stuff to boost her shaky standing with Trump
French prez Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte just filed a lawsuit against right-wing podcaster Candace Owens in the US over her outlandish claims against the couple, including that Brigitte is trans. Macrons are repped by Clare Locke. Complaint: clarelocke.com/wp-content/upl…
Fox News and much of conservative media spent years fretting over alleged lawfare against Trump. Will they hold this attempt to target Obama to the same standard?
REPORTER: Gabbard has submitted a criminal referral. Who should the DOJ target? TRUMP: It would be President Obama. And Biden was there with him ... the leader of the gang was Obama. Barack Hussein Obama. He's guilty. This is treason.
Patrick Soon-Shiong couldn't stop the bleeding at the LA Times. So now he's going to "democratize" it aka ask public shareholders to take it on. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
If the tweets weren’t evidence enough, another revealing peek into the level of responsibility Vance has been entrusted with in the admin
Jones: Trump admin’s heavily implicated. Dillon: I had dinner last week with @VP. He told me it was just commercial porn and no videos of powerful ppl in compromising positions. But if that’s true, why would Bondi say it’s evidence? It just feels like they’re covering something.…
🚨AFP issues a statement saying this is the 1st time in their entire history their journalists on the ground face death by starvation
Scoop: A WSJ reporter was slated to be part of the travel pool this weekend when Trump travels to Scotland. After the paper's Epstein story last week, the WH booted them from the pool. w/ @iriesentner politico.com/news/2025/07/2…
Worth remembering that the last time Trump pushed a conspiracy theory this extreme on his supporters January 6 happened and a bunch of cops died
.@AGPamBondi There should be an IMMEDIATE FBI raid on Obama's DC mansion! Demands passports stripped from ALL Russia-Gate co-conspirators, citing flight risk. ACCOUNTABILITY is required, and justice must be served! @realDonaldTrump @JDVance
the fastest growing political youtube channel is benny johnson's account, he grew more last quarter than the next four highest accounts combined...
Remember when Trump said his settlement deal with Paramount was actually worth 2x as much as it was announced for? Well, this morning Sen. Elizabeth Warren sent a letter to Skydance CEO David Ellison asking whether there is a "secret side deal." washingtonpost.com/business/2025/…
The sleight of hand is so obvious (to anyone remotely familiar with Russiagate), it's not even clever. The claim was never that Russia "hacked" the election by tampering with voting systems; it's that it aided Trump with dumps of hacked materials spun as damaging to Clinton.
🧵 Americans will finally learn the truth about how in 2016, intelligence was politicized and weaponized by the most powerful people in the Obama Administration to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President @realDonaldTrump, subverting the…
Likely new CBS owner David Ellison, the CEO of Skydance, was in DC to meet with FCC chair Brendan Carr and other FCC officials on Tuesday, according to a new government filing.
The timing and optics are terrible, but Stephen Colbert’s show costs more than $100M a year to produce and is losing more than $40M a year. CBS execs had been mulling for a long time whether to pull the plug. Details ⬇️⬇️ puck.news/was-colberts-c…
Riley Gaines, who works for Murdoch-owned website Outkick, urging Trump to sue Murdoch “into oblivion”
Sue them into oblivion
If I were the deep state operative in charge of framing Trump with nude doodles I would have made the birthday card considerably more explicit in tying him to Epstein's crimes
We have thousands of hours of Trump talking on camera and he's never once sounded like a gay twilight character
Impressively convoluted conspiracy theory here: one of the Journal reporters on the Trump-Epstein story apparently worked 15 years ago for a trade publication owned by the wife of the guy who founded FusionGPS, the intelligence firm that produced the Steele Dossier. Sure why not
What?!
That’s it. Congress has officially killed federal funding of PBS, NPR and local stations across the U.S. after decades of thwarted attempts.

Big Epstein news from Status: WSJ is working on new details about Trump’s relationship with Epstein, and Trump badly wants to stop it from being published. He reportedly called WSJ’s editor in chief to try and kill the story. (Paywall) status.news/p/wall-street-…
