Just insane white supremacy, out in the open brazen racism, from Trump cabinet members.
But hey, let’s return to our regularly scheduled programming on Hasan Piker and the left.

Trump sued the Wall Street Journal over a story tying him to Jeffrey Epstein.
A judge tossed it.
He refiled.
Saturday, the same judge threw it out for good… and called the case "grasping at straws."
Lesson: anger isn't a legal strategy.

"Moreover, it is unclear why President Trump argues the September 8 Article shows that his signature "could not be more different" than the one in the Letter, when it contains several examples where President Trump's actual signature and sketches are similar to those in the Letter."
🚨 JUST IN: Trump's Epstein lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal just BACKFIRED.
A federal judge tossed the case WITH PREJUDICE, rebuked Trump's arguments, and praised the Journal's investigation.
And now Trump could be forced to pay the newspaper's legal fees. meidasnews.com/news/judge-th…

🚨 BREAKING: A federal judge has DISMISSED Trump’s defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over its reporting on his alleged birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein.
The judge dismissed the case WITH PREJUDICE, meaning Trump cannot simply refile the lawsuit in the same court.
In a major First Amendment ruling, the judge rejected Trump’s argument that his denials should have prevented the newspaper from publishing its reporting, warning that such a standard would run afoul of the Constitution.
The judge also described the Journal’s reporting as a “thoughtful and detailed investigation” and concluded that Trump’s defamation claims “lack merit.”
The judge left open the possibility that Trump could be ordered to pay the newspaper’s attorneys’ fees.
Trump can appeal, but for now, this is a major legal defeat.

Donald Trump's actions in Brazil are shameless. Some brief history:
In 2022, Brazil's Trump-aligned president, Jair Bolsonaro, lost his reelection bid. He plotted to stay in power, and his supporters stormed government buildings in the capital.
Sound familiar?
Brazil held him accountable. So what did Trump do? Hit Brazil with a 50% tariff and sanctioned Brazilian officials to pressure them into dropping the case. Brazil refused.
Bolsonaro was convicted and sentenced to over 27 years.
Then his son Flavio ran for president, promising to free his father and pardon the rioters. On Sunday, he lost by more than four million votes. Independent observers confirmed the result, and dozens of countries recognized it. But the United States did not and Trump falsely claimed fraud.
On Monday, Brazilian authorities ordered Flavio to surrender his passports in a money laundering probe. Then on Tuesday, Brazil's Supreme Court ordered police to investigate whether a donor network co-founded by Vice President JD Vance helped his campaign, which is a crime in Brazil.
That same day, Flavio fled on a private jet arranged by a White House official, and he is now in Miami with Trump's blessing.
This is all totally insane.
Will any Republicans speak up against it?

While gas prices are up 39% since Trump started his illegal Iran War, Exxon’s profits are up 130%, Chevron’s are up 185% and Shell’s profits nearly doubled.
Working families struggle while Big Oil rips them off.
Trump’s response: “I don’t give a damn.”
Beyond unacceptable.

BREAKING:
Alaska's Republican-run state government just urged a federal judge to dismiss the lawsuit filed at Trump’s direction to stop the certification of a possible Democratic win in the state Senate race — saying there's "no reason for this Court to entertain this meritless lawsuit any longer."

I was in court WITH Jeffrey Epstein for three days before he died and with his survivors reading their victim's impact statements. I KNOW what they have on Trump. There were 1700 photos of underage young people on the walls confiscated by the FBI. There were hard drives. WHERE ARE THEY?
