Pardoned by Trump after convicted of 12 counts of bank fraud and tax evasion. Don’t have to pay back $17.8 million in restitution or serve 12 year sentence. Not Somalis.

I’m shocked - shocked, I tell you - that refusing FBI criminal background checks likely resulted in… criminals in the administration. To be fair, that was also the entire point - there were several Trump appointees who wouldn’t have passed an FBI background check.

So let’s get this straight: Trump’s DOJ buried Epstein’s crimes but kept flight logs on Julie K. Brown, the reporter who exposed them. Her 2019 American Airlines booking shows up in the files. That’s not a data glitch or an oversight.

A single sentence from Trump explains more about power and the Epstein files than years of headlines.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

If Marjorie Taylor Greene *really* cared about the Epstein victims, she would read the names of the perpetrators on the House floor (where she would have immunity) before she leaves office.

Russia chose to grant Snowden protection and citizenship, and his continued presence there has served Russia's interests. A U.S. pardon would retroactively legitimize those decisions at America’s expense.#holdfast

This is what I’ve been talking about for months now: GOP lawmakers are trying to figure out how to reclaim their power after ceding it all to the White House. The problem? They’re cowards, and most of them are just going to resign instead. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Democrats must be so good at this because the “hoax” keeps showing up on our grocery receipts and utility bills.

Next year's artists signed contracts to perform at "The Kennedy Center for Performing Arts." Since a venue with that name no longer exists, and one with a very division name many artists would not wish to be associated with does, they should be able to get out of their contracts.

If this is true, it is the most impeachable offense ever.

Important reminder: Donald Trump is a DEMOCRAT who ran as a Republican. Keep that in mind when he calls for the embarrassment of “Democrats” regarding the Epstein files. He’s THE #1 Democrat he’s talking about.

Irving Berlin was a Jew born in Russia, (probably Siberia) and his early life there was defined by trauma and religious persecution. When he was five, his family home was burned to the ground in a violent pogrom. He loved America and everything it stood for, and was very patriotic.

He let loose almost 200 unhinged posts on Christmas Day. You’d think someone would have wrestled his phone away after 20, 40 or even a hundred posts. They know he’s too far gone. They also know he won’t escape the Epstein fallout. They’re letting him make his case for the 25th amendment.

I think I covered this in my newsletter recently

The numbers are in. More people watched the bootlegged 60 Minutes CECOT segment than watched Trump’s Kennedy Center Honors on CBS.

”X is a toxic media platform & (...) its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse,” news media The Guardian said in a statement announcing it would no longer be posting on the platform. Leave X Now #DeleteYourXAccount #BoycottTesla #Musskolini Thread 1/4🧵

MAGA summed up perfectly. Hours apart.

I worked for DOJ. I don't think people realize how dangerous it is for the White House to takeover the daily operations of the Justice Department.

THIS. This is where we are, my fellow Americans.

What we’re being told is that a guy who is an adjudicated rapist, who was credibly accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, who is mentioned hundreds of times in the Epstein files, couldn’t possibly be a sexual predator.

Sounds legit

Ouch, that #SpinelessSpeaker Johnson quote. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

America First Guy wants to start a war with Venezuela, take over Greenland, make Canada into the 51st state, continue the disastrous economic trade war with allies, and keep supporting Israel's genocide. Well done, MAGA.

The charitable take is that the DOJ bungled the Epstein file release. The honest one is that this is by design. Cause confusion as a cover-up. Keep the shiny object moving. If you can’t keep up, this is a solid recap of last night’s document dump — holiday edition.

Marco Rubio appears to be coked out of his little mind in this video. FUN FACT: His brother-in-law's cocaine dealing paid for Marco's parents' house. www.reddit.com/r/CringeTikT...

BREAKING: Trump DOJ Admits It Ignored—for 6 Years—Alleged Note From Epstein in Its Possession Accusing Trump of Sexually Assaulting "Nubile Young Girls" Would've been nice to know this pre-election, huh? Even now, DOJ is trying to dimiss the note *without* a real investigation.

That’s pretty much what he’s doing already while Stephen Miller runs the country.

This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment. It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

Kristi Noem makes an announcement on Fox & Friends: "We are saying that if you voluntarily want to go home now to your country, if you're in the US illegally, we'll give you $3,000 through the holidays to send you home. We'll buy you a ticket, give you $3,000 to go home."

60 MINUTES CORRESPONDENT: “Our story was screened 5x and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.” #CBSNewsMAX #BariWeiss www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

Today it’s looking like the only way Pam Bondi could’ve made Trump look more guilty; would be if she went to the roof of the White House and shouted from the top of her lungs; “ Trump is a pedophile!”

Hitler's playbook.

Trump's in the Epstein files over 600 times.

Nobody should watch CBS until this airs. Which may be never after Trump threatened them again. He has the ownership and management he wanted who will now obviously do his bidding. Erika Kirk last week, now this. The MAGA News Network.

Congress’s three favorite lines: 1. Sorry we can’t do anything, we’re in the minority 2. Sorry we can’t do anything, we need a supermajority 3. Sorry we can’t do anything, our party’s in the White House and we have to support the president

This is straight-up, unvarnished Klan language from the Vice President of the United States. We've had a lot of racist vice presidents and this one might be in the running for top of the list.

In terms of US politics, Bush v. Gore is the defining event of the century. It set the template: a ruthless right that instinctively seeks power & doesn't give a shit about rule of law...and a bunch of hapless, feckless octogenarian Dems worried about the good opinion of centrist opinion columnists.

The President of the United States deleted this photo of the drawer full of photos with himself and Jeffrey Epstein from the DOJ's illegally redacted release of the files last night. We are watching a cover up in real time. This is file 468.

MAGA doesn’t care about pedophiles. Never did. Nothing demonstrates that more clearly than how quickly they are willing to suck on the pacifier of Clinton pics while ignoring the fact that Republican pedos are being protected by Trump, Bondi, Blanche & Patel.

MAGA: I voted for this! $400 million ballroom. Triumphal arch. Qatari jet. Renaming an arts center. Foreign crypto deals. Blowing up boats. Saudi golf resorts. High tariffs on goods. Record deficits. Epstein cover up. Pardons for drug traffickers and rich fraudsters.

You are either on Team Release Everything (except for victim info), or you are a pedo protector. And everyone satisfied with this obvious cover up is on Team Pedo Protector. There is no middle ground. That is who you are.

Perfect. Nothing to see here, folks! 🤷🏼

The guy who has spent 70 million of YOUR money playing golf this year believes a one time payment of 2k will take care of ALL your health insurance needs. Also, a bellicose dictator trying to bribe troops already deployed in American cities & coaxed into war crimes is bad f’n news.
