Pathetic

#GVerse #BreakingNews Republican Congressman Massie just said he & Ro Khanna are drafting inherent contempt against Pam Bondi over the Epstein files. This means Congress could use their own constitutional power to punish Bondi for defying them without the courts, without DOJ… #Watch #Repost

JUST IN: Thomas Massie announces an impeachment investigation targeting Pam Bondi for allegedly hiding Epstein files. That’s a sitting Republican putting DOJ conduct under a microscope.

I watched 'Mission Impossible - Final Reckoning' the other night on Paramount+ and today I couldn't tell you anything about it. Easily the worst in the franchise.

If Cher has to lip-sync on Saturday Night Live, just don't have Cher as your musical guest. 🎧🎹🎵🎤🎶

Remember, JFK voluntarily served in the military during WWII even though medically exempt & a war-hero while captaining PT-109 in the Pacific theater? Trump dodged the draft 5 times based on bone spurs in his foot & could not recall which foot when questioned. Trump has to put his name on fame.

Steamed hams???

Merry Christmas! Most folks don't know that 'The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)' was written by the great crooner Mel Tormé. They play the Nat King Cole version incessantly each year, resulting in over $3M in royalties to the Tormé estate. 🎧🎹🎵🎤🎄 The Christmas Song - Mel Tormé

The funniest thing would be for Joe Biden to release the Epstein Files, copied while he was president, and held under the same arguments Trump made for keeping classified material.

They are suddenly no longer interested.

Flagrant violations of international law aside, what a hilarious admission of weakness from a senator who oversees a bloated military better funded than the next three superpowers combined.

There should be a bold 2-inch headline at the top of the @nytimes.com simply reading COVERUP!

The only explanation for why Trump is willing to take such a huge political hit keeping these Epstein files hidden is bcuz he knows what’s in those files about him is really, really, really, really bad. That’s the only explanation for this massive Trump led coverup.

Khanna: "The law clearly required all unclassified information being released today. They obviously have not complied with that law. They claim it's because it was only a few weeks -- well they've known about this for months."

President Clinton is right. This is not getting as much attnetion as it should. The USA under Trumpstein is betraying this promise, which means any agreement involving Russia and the USA is not worth the paper it’s written on 🤷‍♂️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapes...

Yesterday played out exactly as many expected a cover-up. When 119 pages of grand jury documents are released entirely redacted, that goes far beyond protecting victims’ identities. A court ordered these records released, yet what the public received was effectively nothing.

This extremely sweet man was brought back from foster today; he's been there several months (may be a sitter stay for the holidays). SNAP HIM UP, Austin! Perfect family boy. Come and get him. www.austinpetsalive.org/adopt/dogs/a...

Schiff: "I think we ought to bring Pam Bondi before the Senate Judiciary Committee demand answers as to why the DOJ has violated the law."

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.

No thanks.

Montage of Howard Lutnick over the past 9 months constantly moving the goalposts on when the economy is going to be booming - 4Q! 1Q! 2Q! 1 year! He was asked in March when it wasn’t going to be Biden’s fault anymore: “We own the economy in the 4th quarter!”

The DOJ is escalating pressure on states—including GA, IL, and WI—to hand over sensitive voter data. Your private data belongs to you, not unelected D.C. bureaucrats. Common Cause is fighting nationwide to protect voter privacy.

For the record, the law states that "No record shall be withheld, delayed, or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary." www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

“Who’s gonna stop you?”

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK: He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial. C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

Things are going great over at X, The Everything App

NEW: Colorado Sens Hickenlooper and Bennet announce they're putting a hold on the Senate appropriations package to demand funding for NCAR. Bennet said today that the Trump administration's move to dismantle the climate/weather lab is retaliation for Tina Peters' imprisonment.

"In effect, Trump took to the airwaves, pointed his finger, and said: Quiet, piggy." @radiofreetom.bsky.social exercising the superpower we discovered years ago at @usatodayopinion.usatoday.com — the ability to write cogent, biting analysis in 60 minutes or less.

FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times F: Not a 600% cut L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

I wrote about Rob Reiner's shockingly good performance in The Wolf Of Wall Street in this, but it's striking how many different films and parts Defector staffers wanted to write about. He was a mensch, but he was also just everywhere in the culture for 50 years. defector.com/defectors-fa...

BREAKING: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ discharge petition has reached 218 signatures, clearing the threshold needed to force a vote on a clean, three-year extension of Obamacare premium subsidies.

❄️ ❄️ ❄️ Bongino couldn’t handle the pressure. Now he runs back to yelling conspiracies he knows aren’t true into a microphone for cash to dumbed-down Neanderthals.

i wonder what this totally brave soul is doing right now

BREAKING on MS NOW: Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

Trump ran on a promise that ICE would go after the “worst" criminals. But the real crime is in oligarchs taking $170b from your healthcare and food assistance to form a secret police force. Our country has defeated fascism before and it is time we fight to uphold our legacy.

When was the last time the entire #MSM was obsessed with a single incident, a single story? 2008 financial meltdown was a bunch of stories. Hillary's emails were also about her server, other things. Benghazi was a RW Media obsession. Was it Abu Ghraib? Or do you have to go back to Monica Lewinsky?

When asked about his political views, Carolla said, "I guess I would be Republican, in the sense that I want a secure border, I'm not into the welfare state, I'm not into all those freebie lunch programs. During the pandemic, Adam took out over $300K in PPP loans and never paid it back.

Michael Wolff: Trump - A Death Foretold

The husband of a Homeland Security officer, was arrested for impersonating an ICE goon. Washington Township, New Jersey.

Finally, Miller's cousin, Alisa Kasmer, gave us her first interview. It's powerful stuff: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

Rand Paul: "The president also said, 'Be careful Colombia, you could be next.' I mean, if we're gonna go and topple regime after regime in South America, there's no amount of money that could be printed to pay for that and I don't think lives should be lost without a vote by Congress."

Ahmed al Ahmed, a Lebanese Muslim who owns a Sydney fruit shop, risked his life to disarm one of the Bondi Beach shooters. His courage gives me hope amidst the horror and darkness. Muslims and Jews are not enemies. Our futures, in the Middle East and beyond, are intrinsically bound. A true hero.

Why would I want to block them? That only allows them to spread their lies unchallenged. No thanks. I'd rather refute their bullshit.

It doesn't even look appetizing.
