He didn't cave. He calculated. Whatever gets released will be redacted, edited, incomplete - and then he'll point to the gaps and call it exoneration. We've already seen this play: 'raw' footage that forensic experts say was processed through editing software. The announcement of transparency is the cover. The curation of what actually appears is where the protection happens.

True Trump did cave in face of looming defeat, but far more commonly he creates a distraction. That can range from supporting murder of suspected drug runners even when unarmed and helpless to grotesquely cruel treatment of migrant families with US citizen children. This week he faces release of another huge tranche of Epstein files —sanitized by DOJ probably— but newsworthy. And the Democrats seem to have access to originals, not the bowdlerized versions, to use in revealing the truth. So what will Tump pull out of his hat to distract the MAGA and the media? Is it commando raid into Venezuela? Another US city or two to invade by ICE/CBP? Yet anther misdirecting change up statement on support of Ukraine? An attack on “traitors” in congress? What is your guess?

Remigration is a term being used by those in power. Surely this word is being used to try and normalize an evil plan that gives only white and rich people the right to have a place called home here in the United States. The MAGA's are destroying the "American Dream"; it was only a concept to them; never meant to be a reality! Thanks Dan for never giving up and always speaking the truth.

It is flabbergasting that Noem said, “Break our laws, we’ll punish you.” But there is nothing being done about trump and his admin when they continuously break the law each day.

Far too modern of a man, where deviant sexual mores advanced more than civil rights after the sixties. A modern adoration of wealth, no matter its source, props him up too. And modern electronics and reality TV put him back in the spotlight. Luckily, his gimcrack tech bros are middling at best.

Can we end the “yearly cost of living increases for Apartments”?

Least till the American People get a “cost of living increase” that doesn’t coincide with prices rising to effectively burn through wages?!

Dan, this guy cracks the moment reality taps him on the shoulder. Spent months blocking the Epstein files, then the second Republicans grow a spine he’s online screaming “I DON’T CARE!” which is code for “I care so much I might faint.”

Then he distracts with a random military flex, a DHS raid that nabbed two guys and traumatized a whole building, and a $220 million no-bid ad deal handed to a company that was basically born yesterday. Topped off by hosting MBS like murder is just a quirky hobby.

Pressure turns him into a cave man. Panic. Grunt. Blame someone else. Repeat.

Oh Dear God, please help us! In your article I have heard a very real question of sedition and refusing to follow the rules of the land. How many meetings does he have to have with foreign adversaries before we can call this treason?

Wouldn't we think killing over 80 innocent people on jet boats would be a treasonous act? If military personnel are going to be charged with murder, shouldn't the Bozo in Chief go down with them as the mastermind? (I call him that with tongue in cheek.. he's no "master"... He just thinks he is in what might be left of a brain. He also is not "of his right mind".. so that can't be it either. Regardless, those deaths were murder, plain and simple. DUE PROCESS??

AND kewpie doll Kristi dressing up in chaps is SO, SO OFFENSIVE to REAL Vaqueros everywhere. Get out of town diva... & Keep on going...

Thank you Dan. If I weren't worried about when my meager Social Security check will be axed, I'd be happy to donate to many of you actively working to expose the underbelly of this dark time in America.😡🤬 Godspeed. 😔

🌟📱🇺🇸 “The Brigade of the Bright”

In a town full of chatter, confusion, and spin,

Where the truth had grown tired and light had grown thin,

A warm little flicker began to ignite—

The grandparents gathered to turn on the light.

With glasses pushed up and their phones fully charged,

They marched into timelines where lies felt so large.

They reshared the truth with a tap and a smile,

Turning dim little posts into beams set to dial.

They boosted the watchdogs who dig through the schemes,

The Indy reporters with courage and dreams.

“Transparency matters!” the grandmas declared,

As they shared every fact that the truth-seekers shared.

Grandpas commented boldly, “Please watch this, my friend!”

“Democracy needs us—so share it again!”

With every repost came a sparkle so bright

That darkness retreated and ran from the light.

They outshined misinformation with honest good cheer,

They lifted up voices that leaders must hear.

Each comment was lantern-like glowing so wide,

A signal that truth had a whole brigade beside.

From Meidas to Bulwark, from Schmidt to the rest,

They amplified stories that journaled the best.

They typed with precision, they tapped with delight—

These grandparents fought

with the power of light.

So honor this army of phone-wielding sages,

Who stand firm for truth in the most troubled ages.

They brighten the country with justice and heart—

They’re proof that the elders

still carry the spark.

He's a Russian asset for sure. But now we know what Putin has on him. Epstein! 😂

And probably many more, and is being blackmailed by others.

All conflicts of interest in the Trump administration must be investigated and wrongdoing prosecuted!

Diane  Ensign's avatar

thank you so much for all the info. It's so disgusting what the trump regime is doing that is harming our country & therefore the world. the $$$ trump has stolen from us citizens is horrifying & all the news outlets he has sued. They should have refused to pay him. And Noem is truly horrifying & her stupid propaganda add in front of Mt. Rushmore. Unbelievable the corruption. Her horse was innocent though & good looking.

As i"ve said before the Clown Show continues. Problem is this self serving clown only cares about himself. How it looks be damned as long as he looks good and profits. American people, immigrants, cost of living be damned. How people fell for this idiot is beyond me.

Remember Ford's pardon of Nixon for all he has done or may have done? 50 years later this admin is using the same logic to exempt itself from any potential prosecution for constitutional or criminal violations. The US swallowed hard but accepted that pardon until the 1976 election gave voters their voice. What's more unindicted felons except at election time? And with the speed of electronic money transfers, there's no chance that civil lawsuits on behalf of the people could get stolen billions back. "L'etat, c'est moi" is back in full force.

Quiet Piggy should be the title of our next nationwide protest (no disrespect to 🐖). Reminder that the Epstein files are yet to be released and importantly, We the People are not YET at the bottom.
