the White House was warning House members that support for the bill to require the DOJ to release the files would be seen as a hostile act. Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican who is pressing for the bill, said that the White House was sending that message because 'They’ve dug in.They decided they don’t want it released. It’s a political threat.' ”

Trump decided to blow up the boat instead of interdicting it

@augieray What's even the point of denying anymore.
We all know that Donald Trump is a child rapist. His actions and words for the pasts months have been an unambiguous confession.

…If #Maduro is no longer in power following #US pressure, "no one will be crying," one #Trump administration official told Axios' Marc Caputo.

Meanwhile, another suggested "this could be Noriega part 2," referencing the U.S. military's 1989 operation to capture Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega.

I thought that federal income taxes were the stake that the US had in its corporations.
Is it the system that allows some corporations to pay zero taxes that's lead to this?

"Republicans have a strategy. Rather than try to squash calls for the release of the files, they’re offering at least some of them up via a controlled-release drip feed, with the Justice Department sending batches to the House Oversight Committee under the reliably partisan eye of Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.)."

"Donald Trump just had a terrible morning. And in true Trump fashion, he tried to cover up his panic with a pathetic stunt: a military flyover of the Epstein survivors’ press conference in Washington, D.C. He claimed it was because the leader of Poland was visiting. Please. The timing made it clear. This was an intimidation tactic aimed at silencing brave survivors who refuse to be silenced any longer."

"Our review reveals that the DOE report's key assertions—including claims of no trends in extreme weather and the supposed broad benefits of carbon dioxide—are either misleading or fundamentally incorrect. The authors reached these flawed conclusions through selective filtering of evidence ('cherry picking'), overemphasis of uncertainties, misquoting peer-reviewed research, and a general dismissal of the vast majority of decades of peer-reviewed research."

#USmilitary attacks vessel allegedly carrying drugs from #Venezuela

#Trump said Tuesday that the US has carried out a strike in the southern #Caribbean against a drug-carrying vessel that departed from Venezuela.

Trump offered scant details on the operation.

Secretary of #State #MarcoRubio said on X that the vessel was being operated by a “designated narco-terrorist organization.” He described the operation as a lethal strike.

The #US had recently announced plans to boost its maritime force in the waters off #Venezuela to combat threats from Latin American drug #cartels.

The US has not signaled any planned land incursion by the thousands of personnel being deployed. Still, President Nicolás #Maduro’s government has responded by deploying troops along Venezuela’s coast & border with neighboring #Colombia, as well as by urging Venezuelans to enlist in a civilian #militia.

#law #geopolitics #military #Trump

#Trump claims the #US strike on vessel in #Caribbean targeted #Venezuela's Tren de Aragua gang & killed 11.

“The strike occurred while the *terrorists* were at sea in International waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States,”Trump alleged in a social media posting. “No US Forces were harmed in this strike. Please let this serve as notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs into the United States of America.”

It’s “frightening,”VanLandingham said of the plan, because “the use of #military courts to hear #civilian cases is the essential component of #MartialLaw.”

“What you end up with,” Maurer added, “is military officers under #federal control who are running civilian courts.”

The fmr JAGs gamed out several scenarios…, but they couldn’t imagine any in which it would be #legal for the #Pentagon to turn #MilitaryLawyers into #ImmigrationJudges, that is, unless #Congress were to pass a #law that allowed it, or #Trump invoked the #InsurrectionAct, which gives the commander in chief power to deploy #military forces within the #US to suppress rebellion or domestic violence.

#ImmigrationLaw #Pentagon #PosseComitatusAct #DOJ #immigration #judges #MartialLaw #MilitaryState

And if #Trump went that route, there would be no turning back, according to Raquel Aldana, a law professor at the University of California, Davis: “The reality is that, once he does, the powers can be unlimited & we are in a #MilitaryState.”

A draft position paper from the #FarRight #HeritageFoundation proposes massive revisions to #US #EconomicPolicy. It wants lawmakers to create new government-seeded savings accounts to encourage only #heterosexual #married parents to have more children.

Lisa Phillips, who reports that Epstein sexually assaulted her, issues a direct challenge to Trump as he continues his cover-up of the Epstein files:

“A lot of us survivors know we’ve been compiling lists of our own, and we have so many other survivors. Please come forward, and we’ll compile our own list and seek justice on our own. I mean, I think that’s what’s going to happen next.”

"The Trump plan right now is to have the DOJ release the 33,000 documents previously produced & claim that these are the full Epstein files, & then have Speaker Johnson and MAGA Congressman James Comer claim no more action is needed since everything is turned over. This, of course, is a massive lie, as the 33,000 previously produced documents don’t even represent 1 percent of the Epstein files."

As Dani Anguiano reports, almost all of the Epstein material the Trump administration released yesterday was already in the public domain. Democratic rep. Robert Garcia says,

“The 33,000 pages of Epstein documents James Comer has decided to ‘release’ were already mostly public information. To the American people – don’t let this fool you."
