BREAKING NEWS: Actual facts appear for the first time on "Truth" Social.

The heavily-redacted and incomplete AF release of the Epstein files is completely contradictory to Donald Trump's claim that they're a "Democratic hoax".

Trump is always “making progress” despite the fact that Putin never agrees to compromise on any of the maximalist demands he has had for three years. What are we making progress on? Getting Ukraine to make more concessions while Putin laughs? That is progress?

My dad was a violent racist republican pedophile who trapped my mother into marriage by having me & then spent the next decade raping her children The failures of racism chart explains everything that the gop is The principles of abuse chart explains everything they're doing PLEASE LEARN FROM ME

On Christmas Day, the Trump regime informed Americans, via a DHS tweet, that one only deserves the title of citizen of this nation—the designation "American"—if you accept Jesus of Nazareth as your Lord and Savior, i.e. are Christian. We Jews have heard this canary sing before.

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.

You guys caught this too, right? “Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” ███████ noted some girl with a funny name “took me into a fancy hotel or building, that’s how it happened.” Also this: she was advised to call the police. But she replied, “I can’t, they will kill me.” 1/2

Merry Christmas to all the haters and losers, especially the “biggest” (fat?) demented orange shitgibbon LOSER who is “running” (many people say RUINING) our country so badly and even the Republican cowards in Congress who are failing in perhaps a way that nobody has seen before.

We’re trying to imagine the Republican freakout if literally any of this was about Obama or Biden

JD Vance is hungry AF for power. He didn't just soft-launch his 2028 campaign via Erika Kirk, he's sowing the seeds for initiating a 25th Amendment. He'll leak enough of the Epstein files to move Trump out of his way. MAGA Macbeth.

I’m sure Russia won’t bomb and murder people over Christmas because Trump, Vance and Witkoff assure us that Putin wants peace and Russia is a Christian nation.

You all need to see this

So many more people gonna see this now

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care. My latest for Democracy Docket lays out the case. Sign up now to access this and all premium content. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

When the Department of Justice blatantly violates the law to protect wealthy and politically connected pedophiles, then we have no Justice Department and we have no justice.

Democrats in Congress have thus far failed to make a stink out of Pam Bondi's ethical conflicts (some of which she tried to hide during confirmation), most notably w/GEO and Qatar. But Luigi Mangione's defense team may force that issue, claiming she had conflict bc of past ties to United Health.

Nobody cares. 🤷‍♂️ Mon (Dec-15) NHTSA reports Tesla's 8th robotaxi crash. Tue (Dec-16) CA judge rules that FSD is a fraud. Now (Dec-19) Texas DMV is using the CA DMV's playbook to deal with Musk's illegal plan to go "driverless" by year-end. bradmunchen.substack.com/p/tesla-will...

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Wild — as the community note says, Trump’s DOJ released a publicly available pic of MJ & Clinton & Diana Ross with their own kids and implied it’s them with victims They aren’t just redacting, they’re doctoring

Look! A photo and check! Undeniable evidence.

RUTHERFORD COUNTY: “Her whole focus is regaining custody of her daughter.” Woman gives birth in custody, ICE separates from her baby for 35 days even after all charges dropped - locked up in Louisiana while her newborn is in state custody in Tennessee.

The latest deal of merging with fusion energy company...which will reportedly be worth $6 Billion to Trump Media ...is like raping someone while the police are waching, and then pausing just long enough to wave to the cops. In this case, though, the victim...is the United States of America.

🤔 @stevescalise.bsky.social : “He wants all Americans on government-run health care. It’s failed everywhere it’s been tried.” UM NO IT HASN’T, STEVE. EVERY WEALTHY COUNTRY HAS UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE BUT US. #MedicareForAllNOW (“Everyone on Medicaid is what Dems are doing” — if only!)

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN HANDED FELON TRUMP THE STRONGEST ECONOMY IN DECADES AND TRUMP DESTROYED IT IN A MATTER OF MONTHS.

House Republicans were on paid vacation for two months and couldn’t be bothered to come up with a real plan to stop costs from skyrocketing for 24 million Americans. Speaker Johnson won’t even hold a vote. Hard to escape the conclusion that they don’t care.

Since the end of the Cold War, democrats have created 50M jobs and republicans have created 1M.

"I love that Rick Scott is on CNN talking about all the waste and deception in the health care/insurance business. He really is an expert since his company paid a record $1.7 billion in fines for Medicare fraud."

This is extremely important

Agree 💯 With Governor Newsom...

Not sure there's a clearer way to say any security guarantees the US is offering Ukraine are toilet paper than to shutdown EUCOM while offering them. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII. One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing. The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

Make Congress take action and unmask ICE!

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! NFL players. The league changed kickoff rules to reduce concussions. It’s worked dramatically well. Trump wants the rules to go back to the way they were.He thinks it’s “woke” to give a shit abt injury.Yep, the bone spurs dude talking. Think abt that. He’s OK w YOUR concussions

From @findoutpodcast.bsky.social : “611,000 Tennesseans are on subsidized ACA plans. The AVERAGE increase will be $16,000 per person per year.”😳 THIS is what @MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty just voted to do to you. A policy choice.

Agree 💯 With Governor Newsom...
