Under Trump, the US becomes a government of, by and for money launderers, especially those tied to the Russian mob, like Steve Witkoff.

US regulators collected 61% less in fines for money laundering and sanctions breaches in 2025, after watchdogs took a more lenient approach under Trump. Total fines imposed by the US for dirty money offences were under $1.7bn in the year to Dec 19, a sharp drop from the $4.3bn in such penalties.

They really cut $1 Trillion from Medicaid then put $50 billion back and think we’re all too dumb to notice

Cry harder about ruining an American institution we used to be proud of, you stupid quisling bitch.

What a novel idea to put country before party. Rep. Thomas Massie & I want a new beginning this Christmas that protects young girls and holds these disgusting men accountable. Merry Christmas!

People say the Epstein files are worse than you can imagine. After reading this thread, I believe it.

When one makes up that many lies it's inevitable the lies will conflict with each other. It's more proof that it's all been lies.

I have to admit, I also always had kinda the wrong idea about Norman Rockwell until I saw the piece "Murder in Mississippi" as a teen in art history class

Other books I particularly enjoyed this year included McPhee’s Annals of the Former World and, at the opposite end of the timeliness spectrum, Timothy Ryback’s Takeover. www.powells.com/book/takeove...

Every time felon Trump insults Democrats as "scum," "the enemy," etc., he is dehumanizing Dems and further inciting and enabling violence against them.

Absolute Fing traitor

Saudi dairy giant Almarai, started its Arizona farming operation in 2014. It is part of a trend: Saudi companies have been buying farmland overseas because groundwater is being exhausted in Saudi Arabia l.smartnews.com/p-6R58H7gc/y...

Moment of silence 🙏

My New Years resolution is to read more so I put the subtitles on my tv.

On birthright citizenship: The plain meaning of the text is against him. The original intent of the authors is against him. The traditional understanding through US history is against him. So he is left trying to invent some convoluted academic theory to justify his predetermined conclusion.

This is so sick. You may not want to read it.

It’s pretty wild that the most rabidly anti-immigrant administration in recent memory is comprised of a President married to an immigrant, a VP married to the daughter of immigrants, an assistant AG in charge of Civil Rights who’s an immigrant (Dhillon), & it was all funded by an immigrant (Musk).

”Dems want us to release all this damaging information about Dems and I am mad about that” That math does not check out

Susie Wiles calls out Trump for mentioning Bill Clinton’s purported visits to Pedo-Island👇🏻

Love it!

Anyone hoping to win next year's FIFA Peace Prize is gonna have to get awfully ambitious.

I'm working on an opinion piece this week because I'd rather reach the public than speak to the courts-- others will do that just fine-- but what is happening right now is pernicious, and it should not be rewarded.

The anti-birthright citizenship element in the legal academy has all the hallmarks of a high school debate club and none of actual scholarship.

“Miss, do you agree with the sign?” “Absolutely not. My great niece was 4 months pregnant and her fetus had no skull. And because of men involving themselves in women’s bodies she was forced to deliver the fetus… there’s a reason God created medicine.”🔥 #ForcedBirthNation

"Judges who ruled against Trump say harassment & threats have changed their lives. More than 100 pizzas were delivered to the homes of judges & their families this year, some with signs of foreign involvement. Judges say the message is clear: We know where you live." www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

you have to imagine that this probably also happens when there doesn't happen to be a Herald reporter randomly sitting there to see it happen

Turn the channel!

Every pal of Trump's is a sex offender. Brand thought he could get baptised and it would go away. #MagaMisogynists.

Trump traveled on Epstein's jet multiple times, including with underage girls. Expect this too to be retroactively censored in violation of the law. At least they are ham handed in their lawbreaking

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

Bill Clinton isnt afraid of the Epstein files. I did NOT expect him to call for the files that reference him to be released in accordance to the law so Im pretty surprised! Is this a double fake out?

David Ellison's CNN & CBS news can no longer be considered a credible news source.The Wall Street Journal reported Ellison had given assurances to Donald Trump that if Paramount were allowed to buy Warner, he would make sweeping changes to CNN, the news channel that Trump has frequently criticized.

Wow! Ryan Goodman, Siven Watt and Joshua Kolb did an incredible job with this timeline and documentation of the Law Enforcement Failures. My question: “Was someone paid off for these “failures”“?

My excellent Senator had the best response to Epstein’s files…

Remember this? James O'Keefe got Pam Bondi on video last May saying the FBI was processing “tens of thousands of videos” of Epstein “with little kids.” Then she told reporters “There are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn.” www.mediaite.com/politics/att...

The FBI put a thousand agents (their own words) on trying to hide all the links between Trump and Epstein. They failed. When people found some additional photos of Trump in the release, the DOJ promptly DELETED THEM FROM THE DOCUMENT RELEASE. www.npr.org/2025/12/20/n...

Brett Ratner, the director of Melania’s documentary backed by Amazon MGM Studios, was accused by multiple women of sexual misconduct and resigned from producing the Oscars over a homophobic slur. He is seen here with Epstein associate and notorious sex trafficker Jean‑Luc Brunel

“State constitutionalism makes it easy to consider Roberts Court jurisprudence white noise,” Hawaii Justice Todd Eddins wrote in a recent ruling that assailed the U.S. Supreme Court’s conservative majority.

Johnson's backer, John Paulson, was recently revealed to be in Epstein's black book.

No, I don't think so, but John Paulson a major (huge) GOP donor is. Johnson has said Paulson is in the Epstein files but that it doesn't mean he committed any crimes. 🙄 This is who he's scrambling to protect, the money behind every Republican's reelection campaign. He's trying to save the midterms.

Zaharia sued Paulson for $1 billion in damages. In 2024, Paulson was reportedly engaged to be married to 35-year-old clinical dietitian Alina de Almeida. In September 2025, Paulson was accused by Republican Representative Thomas Massie of being named in Jeffrey Epstein's "black book."

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) is leading a fight to release Jeffrey Epstein files, alleging a billionaire hedge fund manager, John Paulson, is funding ads against him.

Say it Loud, Senator!
