A New White House Meltdown and More Bad News For Trump
I cut through the lies, so you don’t have to
The Trump regime has already told a year’s worth of lies this week, and it’s only Wednesday. So I hope this new edition of Great News brings you some relief from all the madness—even if just for a moment.
We can’t do this work without support from readers like you. It’s what keeps our advocacy and journalism going strong. So if you haven’t yet, please join us as a paid subscriber today:
On the National Mall in DC, an anonymous artist installed an anti-Trump statue—a golden television, with a bald eagle on top.
The TV plays a loop of Trump’s most awkward dance moves. And a plaque below features a White House response to another statue, from the same artist. It reads: “You have the freedom to display your so-called ‘art,’ no matter how ugly it is.” Perfect.
Dem Sens. Cory Booker and Alex Padilla introduced a bill that would require immigration enforcement officers to display “clearly legible identification.” It would also prohibit officers from wearing “non-medical face coverings.”
Padilla said: “We’ve all seen the videos: masked ICE agents in plainclothes and unmarked vans, grabbing people off the street. No more hiding.”
A lawsuit was filed over Bob Kennedy refusing to recommend the Covid vaccine for pregnant women and children. The doctors and public health orgs who filed the suit, made it clear that their goal is to save lives. And let’s all remember what Kennedy said: “People shouldn’t take medical advice from me.” He’s right. No one should.
There’s big trouble for Trump, as maga loyalists are outraged that the regime is trying to bury the Jeffrey Epstein files again. And the White House has no idea how to respond.
The DoJ released an 11-hour-long video that aimed to dispute any claims about Epstein’s death in prison. And of course, there was a minute missing from it, which drove rightwing conspiracy theorists even more bonkers.
Even Peter Doocy from Fox “News” confronted Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt about the scandal. Doocy asked: “So, what happened to the Epstein client list that the Attorney General said she had on her desk?”
Leavitt responded by trying to lie about what Bondi said. Doocy interrupted, saying: “I’ve got the quote. She said ‘it’s sitting on my desk right now to review.’” Leavitt then abruptly changed the subject. It was pathetic.
And on Tuesday, Trump acted shocked, and had a meltdown when a reporter asked about Epstein. It’s clear he doesn’t want it to be looked into further, and everyone should be asking why.
