"1. Trump's megabill will slash nutrition assistance for poor families cause XX million people to lose their health insurance and add over $X trillion to the deficit -- all to finance tax cuts for the rich. HERE ARE THE CORPORATIONS THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED THIS LEGISLATION. These are not companies that supported the bill by donating to the politicians who voted for it (although most did that too). These are companies that endorsed the bill publicly and were featured on a White House webpage. People should know the companies that made this choice. @3M @altrianews @ATT @GetSpectrum @Chevron" @JuddLegum on X 2025-07-04 00:14:52 UTC 510.6K followers, 38.8K engagements

"8. Trump also claimed the letter was fake because it featured a picture drawn by Trump and "I dont draw pictures." Trump has drawn lots of pictures in the same style described in the WSJ report" @JuddLegum on X 2025-07-21 13:13:19 UTC 510.6K followers, 247.4K engagements
"Trump's megabill includes $XX billion for the construction of immigrant detention facilities. To put that in perspective the Los Angeles Clippers' Intuit Dome one of the most expensive sports arenas in the world cost $X billion. Trump has enough to build XX Intuit Domes" @JuddLegum on X 2025-07-10 20:49:24 UTC 510.6K followers, 28K engagements
"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 comment" @JuddLegum on X 2025-07-21 13:13:18 UTC 510.6K followers, 321.8K engagements
"5. The widespread adoption of crypto which are highly volatile and have little practical utility poses a risk for the American economy. When FTX collapsed the broader impacts were limited because it had few connections to the broader economic system. Now in part due to Trump that's changing" @JuddLegum on X 2025-07-22 12:20:35 UTC 510.6K followers, 2926 engagements
"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" @JuddLegum on X 2025-07-21 13:13:17 UTC 510.6K followers, 4.3M engagements

"No one will be fooled by this. People are asking for the release of the evidence from the Epstein investigation. The grand jury transcripts are something else entirely and would exclude almost all evidence" @JuddLegum on X 2025-07-18 03:26:57 UTC 510.6K followers, 42K engagements
"Criminal law attorney's please weigh in: Trump's lawsuit focuses on the idea that the letter to Epstein might exist but denies that Trump "authored drew and signed it." This seems to build on Trump's public contention that it was faked by Obama/Biden/Comey. But if the letter was collected as part of the criminal inquiry into Epstein shouldn't there be a chain of custody that establishes its legitimacy Or at least that it wasn't tampered with since it was collected" @JuddLegum on X 2025-07-19 18:20:38 UTC 510.6K followers, 28K engagements
"5. Crime rates are hitting historic lows in many cities across the country including many other cities that have implemented bail reform policies. Moreover studies have found no evidence that bail reform affects crime rates" @JuddLegum on X 2025-07-24 16:09:00 UTC 510.6K followers, 8646 engagements
"2. Trump blames the alleged crime wave on cities that have limited cash bail. So let's look at some cities run by Democrats that have recently imposed bail reform" @JuddLegum on X 2025-07-24 16:09:00 UTC 510.6K followers, 2440 engagements

"3. Since taking office Trump has systematically used the power of the presidency to promote bitcoin. He's issued executive orders signed legislation written by crypto lobbyists and appointed crypto boosters to the head of regulatory agencies.

"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" @JuddLegum on X 2025-07-21 13:13:17 UTC 510.6K followers, 349.5K engagements
"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.

"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" @JuddLegum on X 2025-07-21 13:13:18 UTC 510.6K followers, 266.3K engagements

"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 with Sendak Yes" @JuddLegum on X 2025-07-21 13:13:18 UTC 510.6K followers, 335.2K engagements

"1. According to President Trump large American cities are crime-infested hellholes.

"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" @JuddLegum on X 2025-07-21 13:13:18 UTC 510.6K followers, 333.7K engagements

"2. Historically the media have covered any hint of financial entanglements between a U.S. president and foreigners as a scandal meriting extensive coverage. In the 1990s there was Chinagate. In 2016 foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation. Then Hunter Biden's foreign income" @JuddLegum on X 2025-07-17 17:24:52 UTC 510.6K followers, 8219 engagements
