NEW: AG Pam Bondi is accusing Dan Bongino of secretly leaking info to the media to damage her reputation, per The Wall Street Journal. So now it’s Bondi vs. Bongino. Trump’s inner circle is eating itself alive And the Epstein fallout hasn’t even peaked yet.
A sad day for U.S. intelligence veterans. Sandy was not just a consummate professional (best known for her part in bringing down Soviet mole Aldritch Ames). She was a generous soul who mentored a generation. facebook.com/bonnie.s.venab…

Yes. Trump’s deal is worse than it was when we started.
Gov. Jared Polis on Trump's tariffs on Europe: "Under President Obama, Biden, we were talking a 1 to 3% tariff tax on exports to Europe and imports to Europe. The goal would be to get that down to 0%. 15% is much worse. That means 15% higher costs on every item that we buy that…
@CedricLeighton @MarkHertling FYI-
Distinguished UChicago Prof. John Mearsheimer on Pres. Trump's tariff approach: "Somebody asked [Trump] how he decided when to put tariffs on a particular country or to take them off... He said, very clearly, 'I do this by intuition'... This is not a man who thinks long & hard."

Well that didn’t age well.
Donald Trump Jr in 2024: How is it that my father could be convicted of 34 crimes, but no one on Epstein's list has even been brought to light? I'm trying to figure out how that's possible. It's almost like they're trying to protect those pedophiles for some reason. I can't…
Trump's immigration policy is inhumane. But it's also deeply corrupt. Trump's super rich donors and friends are building and running these detention camps - and making massive profits off treating immigrants like animals.
WELKER: Would you support a pardon or commutation for Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted sex trafficker? MIKE JOHNSON: That's a decision of the president. That's not my lane.

Krugman: "the interaction between this Japan deal and Trump’s other tariffs probably tilts the playing field between U.S. and Japanese producers of cars, and perhaps other products, in Japan’s favor." (That's not how this is supposed to work.) paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-art-of-t…
Every reasonable person recognizes that @CIADirector Ratcliff is lying. The problem for Americans is that every CIA Director going forward will have to live down his lying.

Trump: "The other thing I say to Europe: We will not allow a windmill to be built in the United States. They are killing us."

REMEMBER: Putin didn’t just say he liked Trump. He ADMITTED he directed officials to help Trump win the U.S. election. And what did Trump do? He stood there, smiled, and sided with him over our own intelligence agencies. That wasn’t diplomacy. That was surrender.
FLASHNACK Reporter: Did you want President Trump to win the election? And did you direct any of your officials to help him do that? Putin: “Yes, I did. Yes, I did.” (2018) Don’t let MAGA rewrite history.
My dispatch from Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk oblast is the Guardian's Sunday Read. I met Valentyn Velykyi, the last person to leave the shattered village of Maliyivka, occupied yesterday. "That idiot Putin wants to take it all," he told me. Pix: @AlessioMamo theguardian.com/news/ng-intera…
Trump caught cheating at golf, watch the second guy in the red vest toss a ball behind him.
I served with Colonel DA Sims in combat & peacetime in Iraq & Europe. I watched him deploy his division to Poland in the early stage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He is a brilliant commander, values-based leader & selfless soldier He should be a 4-star commander.
“Hegseth’s actions could shape the military’s top ranks for years. His insistence on absolute loyalty, backed with repeated threats of polygraphs, creates uncertainty and mistrust that threaten to undermine the readiness and effectiveness of the force” nytimes.com/2025/07/26/us/…
