The Trump administration seized on DoorDash’s claim that breakfast food prices had decreased by 14% to suggest an economic improvement. However, this statistic is misleading due to its limited scope. The DoorDash “Breakfast Basics Index” only includes the prices of eggs, milk, a bagel, and an avocado, excluding significant breakfast staples. Consequently, this narrow focus ignores the rising prices of items like coffee, bread, bacon, and orange juice, which have experienced substantial increases, thus making the overall cost of breakfast more expensive.

During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, FBI Director Kash Patel stated that case files contain “no credible information” to suggest Jeffrey Epstein trafficked young women to anyone other than himself. This response came in answer to questioning from Senator John Kennedy, who was inquiring about the contents of the Epstein files. Patel stated that the available case files are limited, as they only contain search warrants from 2006 and 2007, as federal prosecutors made a deal with Epstein to avoid prosecution for earlier crimes. Despite calls for more transparency, the FBI maintains that the investigation only implicates Epstein himself.

Trump: Epstein “stole” young woman from Mar-a-Lago spa. The initial reaction to Trump’s statement, that Epstein “stole” a young woman from his Mar-a-Lago spa, is one of stark disbelief. The use of the word “stole” immediately frames this as a transaction, reducing a human being to property. It’s a deeply unsettling phrase, implying ownership and a casual disregard for the person involved.
Trump: Epstein “stole” young woman from Mar-a-Lago spa. The most alarming aspect here is the potential involvement of minors. If the “young woman” in question, Virginia Giuffre, was indeed working at Mar-a-Lago at a young age, the situation becomes even more disturbing.… Continue reading
In an interview aboard Air Force One, former President Donald Trump stated he ended his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein because Epstein repeatedly poached employees from his Mar-a-Lago club, including Virginia Giuffre. Trump confirmed that Epstein was told not to take his employees but did so multiple times. This claim about the reason for the end of their friendship contradicts Trump’s earlier statements, as he had previously said he cut off contact with Epstein due to the financier’s criminal behavior. Trump also denied any connection to Epstein’s lifestyle and claimed to have never visited Epstein’s island.

Jeez, I wonder why Trump won’t release the Epstein files.
Seriously, it’s like the most obvious thing, isn’t it? Everyone’s scratching their heads, wondering why the files aren’t out there, and it feels like the elephant in the room is wearing a bright orange toupee. The truth is staring us right in the face, and it’s almost painful to see the denial.
Think about it – MAGA folks are masters of avoiding the obvious. They’re looking everywhere but where they should be, which is utterly pathetic. There are claims that these files contain information that could hurt some people, “very fine people,” as it were.… Continue reading

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals largely upheld Idaho’s “abortion trafficking” law, reversing a lower court’s decision that had blocked its enforcement. While the court found the law’s prohibition on “recruiting” minors for abortions unconstitutionally broad, it upheld provisions against “harboring” and “transporting” them for abortions. The plaintiffs’ attorney expressed satisfaction with the partial block, emphasizing the protection of speech related to abortion care, while Idaho’s Attorney General celebrated the ruling as a victory for protecting the unborn. The case may proceed to the district court.
