1. Trump says that the letter to Epstein is fake because the letter is "not the way I talk." Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the letter is "not at all how he speaks or writes." JD Vance said the same thing. Does the letter sound like Trump? I investigated.

2. The most distinctive single word in the letter is "enigma." Donald Trump Jr. says his dad has a very distinctive speaking style and never used the word "enigma." This is not true. popular.info/p/does-trumps-…

3. In 2015, Trump used the word "enigma" twice to describe Ben Carson. Trump also used the word "enigma" twice in his 2004 book, Trump: How to Get Rich. Trump also used the term in his 1990 book, Trump: Surviving at the Top to describe Mike Tyson.

4. The word "pal," which appears at the end of the letter to Epstein, is somewhat old-fashioned But Trump has used "pal" to describe Steve Witkoff and Las Vegas developer Phil Ruffin popular.info/p/does-trumps-…

5. Perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of the letter is the opening line: "There must be more to life than having everything." This is a direct quote from Higglety Pigglety Pop!, a classic 1967 book by children's author Maurice Sendak. Would Trump have been familiar

6. In 1993, Sendak published We Are All in the Dumps with Jack and Guy. The book was widely covered in the national media because it address serious topics, like the AIDS crisis, in a children's book. It also included a direct attack on Trump. The NYT contacted Trump for

7. Another distinctive feature of the letter is that it creates a fake dialogue between Trump and Epstein, in which Trump refers to himself in the third person. Trump is known to both refer to himself in the third person and to narrate fake dialogues.

This may be an unpopular thread, but so be it. If you grew up with a mean and cruel man in your life. If you suffered trauma at the hands or the mouth of a cruel and mean man. You become hyper vigilant to cruel and mean men. You recognise them very quickly. Your entire system

SCOOP: Hegseth's texts about bombing Yemen derived from a classified email labeled "SECRET/NOFORN," per info provided to the DOD Inspector General for a forthcoming report, flying in the face of longstanding Trump administration claims that no classified info was shared: sources

The “SECRET” classification of the email means its unauthorized disclosure could be expected to cause serious damage to national security. The “NOFORN” label means it was not meant for anyone who is a foreign national, including senior officials of close allies of the US

Hegseth’s text messages on Signal were based on a classified email sent by Gen. Kurilla, the top commander for the Middle East, on a classified system called SIPRNet, per sources.

Hegseth Signal messages came from email classified ‘SECRET,’ watchdog told. W/ Dan Lamothe washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

This is *insane* Think tanks are a vital feedback loop between government, academia, and the public. There have been minor cancellations before, but dropping them wholesale is a dangerous precedent in insulating decision makers from criticism

This clip is pretty incredible. Trump has no idea what the fuck he’s talking about and Powell is trying very hard not to tell him exactly that

The people who are trying to normalize this will be back right after they finish having someone read 1984 to them. The issue that got Trump re-elected was immigration. He’s 5 points underwater there. These are catastrophic approval numbers.

Pardoning Maxwell would be the biggest fuck you to MAGA - and the most obvious coverup in history.

Trump has added more to the deficit than any president in history, and he still has 3 years left. Fiscal responsibility, my ass.

In case you were wondering, yes, the administration thinks it’s hilarious that Trump supporters are too dumb to realize that tariffs are a tax hike on them.
