"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 510.4K followers, 27.9K 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 510.5K followers, 233.1K engagements
"4. The core of Baltimore's strategy involves engaging "directly with those most intimately involved in and affected by violence. The city then addressed the root causes of violence with this population -- financial mental health and housing issues.

"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 510.5K followers, 2468 engagements
"1. Trump is ensnared in a SERIOUS POLITICAL CRISIS over his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files It is a crisis of his own making Epstein was a real pedophile But the origin of the crisis is QAnon the fabricated claim that top Democrats are secretly involved in a Satanic pedophile ring" @JuddLegum on X 2025-07-14 13:37:27 UTC 510.3K followers, 573.5K 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 510.5K followers, 4M 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 510.5K followers, 41.8K 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 510.5K followers, 27.9K engagements

"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 510.5K followers, 331.1K engagements

"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.

"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.
