2026 - Melania: I never knew about Epstein’s abuse of his victims. 2006 - Trump to Police: Everyone has known he’s been doing this. Don’t buy what Melania’s selling.

In “Carte Blanche and an Inside Strait,” Harry convenes @kristygreenberg.bsky.social, @jasonkander.bsky.social & #JasmineWright to assess Trump’s Iran strategy, DOJ shakeups, and what recent Democratic overperformances mean for the midterms. bit.ly/CarteTF

Thank you, Ally Sammarco. You spoke truth to power. You brought the receipts. You stood up for other women. That’s how justice is served.

Melania Trump is a champion for Epstein victims? Prove it. Tell your husband to release the Epstein files, meet with victims, and order DOJ to investigate Epstein’s co-conspirators.

Why not call on DOJ to act? Why not call on Acting AG Blanche to meet with the Epstein survivors, release the the Epstein files, and investigate co-conspirators? Why not condemn Blanche’s statement that the Epstein files “should not be a part of anything going forward” at DOJ?

Todd Blanche to Donald Trump

Why hasn’t Trump fired his Labor Secretary? She’s accused of having an affair with a subordinate, taking staff to strip clubs, drinking on the job, and taking fake “official” trips. Her husband is accused of sexually assaulting DOL staffers. 4 DOL staffers are gone. She remains. Why?

Throwback: Trump’s motive has always been greed ⬇️

NEW: In 2023, a former U.S. Virgin Islands AG told the FBI: • Epstein’s lawyer and accountant were part of his human trafficking operation • VI Governor tried to shut down the AG's investigation • Get the AG’s case file for evidence No sign that FBI followed up. Why not?

The Trump jokes you won’t hear at tonight’s Oscars. With Melania Trump launching Muse — her new film company — I imagined the movies inspired by the Trump administration. Welcome to the Trump Cinematic Universe. 🎬 youtube.com/shorts/Nstyl...

A prosecutor bragging about acquittals and no true bills is historic

Kristy Greenberg: If a bill like this were to go into effect, there are all kinds of people who would be disenfranchised. It is not as simple as showing an ID. Election workers under this act could face five years in prison for registering someone without documentation of their citizenship.

False narrative: the woman who said Trump sexually assaulted her as a minor refused to cooperate. Reality: FBI failed her. She asked: what’s the point if nothing can be done? FBI didn’t dispute that. When victims think nothing can be done, our justice system is failing them.

Kristi Noem reporting for duty as Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas

Cruel and inhumane prison conditions — or as Kristi Noem calls it: a great photo op

Kristi Noem said Alex Pretti “committed an act of domestic terrorism. That’s the facts.” Defend it or retract it, but don’t deny it.

DOJ is withholding FBI reports about a claim that Trump sexually assaulted a minor — calling them duplicative or privileged. They’re neither. This is a clear example of DOJ breaking the law. Congress should sue DOJ and subpoena third parties for the files.

I led SDNY’s health care fraud prosecutions for years. You don’t cut off Medicaid for people who need it to stop fraudsters who abuse it. This isn’t a War on Fraud. It’s a War on Minnesota.

The Prince Andrew scandal just got real. A second Epstein victim says she was trafficked to Andrew. Emails show Maxwell trying to set Andrew up with “girls” for sex acts. New creepy photos are in the files. Sex crime charges could be next.

2006: Trump told police Maxwell was Epstein’s “operative.” That wasn’t public knowledge. So how did Trump know? 2025: Maxwell denied her role in Epstein’s operation to the Deputy AG. Trump apparently knows that’s false. So why hasn’t his DOJ charged her with lying?

@ms.now legal analyst @kristygreenberg.bsky.social criticizes the Justice Department over allegations it tracked what lawmakers searched as they reviewed unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files, while urging Democrats to focus on the bigger issue and sue to force the full release of the documents.

Epstein to Trump about a 14-year-old girl in 1994: “This is a good one, huh?” Trump agreed. The FBI called this claim “sensational.” But a jury and prosecutors found the victim credible. Damning evidence that Trump knew Epstein targeted minors — and still partied with him.

When DOJ announces a “civil rights” investigation, but immediately says it won’t be “massive” or led by civil rights lawyers, it’s a sham. The real investigations target Alex Pretti and Renee Good — not the agents who killed them — and the protesters. That’s an outrage.

This is what “humane” law enforcement looks like under Trump. You cannot shock the conscience of people who don’t have one.

Renee Good’s autopsy destroys the self-defense narrative. She wasn’t a danger when Ross fired the fatal shot to her head from the side of her car. DOJ shut down the FBI probe, sidelined MN agents, and targeted MN prosecutors and Good’s widow. This isn’t justice — it’s a cover-up.

When you’re outraged at the bystander screaming “Shame” and not at the person calling Good a “Fucking Bitch” after the shooting, you’ve missed the plot

An ICE officer shot and killed Renee Nicole Good - on video - in Minneapolis. DOJ is investigating Democrats. Epstein’s victims say they were trafficked to 20+ men. DOJ is investigating Democrats. DOJ leaders aren’t fighting crime. They’re playing politics.

Officer kills an unarmed protester. Officer gets a pass. DHS calls the victim a domestic terrorist. DOJ targets the victim and her widow. This is how the Government silences dissent.

"Seems like it is more blame-shifting." Jeanine Pirro is defending the DOJ investigation into Fed Chair Jerome Powell, despite mounting backlash from across the political spectrum. @aliciamenendez.bsky.social discusses the latest with @kristygreenberg.bsky.social and @bharatramamurti.bsky.social.

Trump claimed the power to send U.S. forces abroad to kidnap foreign leaders. He broke the law in plain sight - and no one stopped him. Not the UN. Not Congress. Not the courts. Now it’s up to us to claim our power. Tell the truth. Stand up to injustice. Vote out those who fail us.

Bondi keeps flagrantly breaking court rules banning extrajudicial comments that prejudice a defendant’s right to a fair trial. Judges in the Mangione and Abrego Garcia cases warned her to stop. Maduro’s judge will too. How many people’s rights must she trample on before she’s sanctioned?

Here’s to a year where the good guys win. Happy New Year! 🥂

Here’s an easy way for DOJ to cut time redacting the Epstein files: waive any claims that information in the files is privileged. Stop hiding behind attorney/client, deliberative process, and work product privileges. Protect the victims. Release the rest of the files.

Me after that Lions loss

BREAKING NEWS: Trump pardons the Wet Bandits Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁🎅

Watching Die Hard and FBI Agents Johnson & Johnson are giving Kash Patel energy

🎄 Christmas came early this year. Trump’s Chief of Staff Susie Claus delivered gifts: exonerating Clinton on Epstein and exposing Trump’s retribution against Tish James and Jim Comey. Trump got coal — his revenge fantasies crushed. Welcome to Trump’s Nightmare Before Christmas.

Todd Blanche wants us to believe that Ghislaine Maxwell - a high profile inmate he says faced numerous death threats - was moved to a less secure prison for her own safety. That makes no sense. Don’t buy what he’s selling.

Deputy AG Todd Blanche told Congress that it would take two more weeks to review, redact and release all of the Epstein materials. @kristygreenberg.bsky.social: "I don't understand why this is so impossible."

Wrong. Trump’s own chief of staff said land strikes in Venezuela require congressional authorization because “then it’s war.” She also exposed Trump’s real goal: regime change. (Vanity Fair)
