So in spring, Pam Bondi said there was nothing to the Epstein investigation, then “closed” it. Now, they “find” 1 million more docs. So did she close this without seeing these docs? Or was someone hiding them?

I’m receiving an increasing number of messages from some of you who are concerned about me. Please don’t be. I’m not going to stop speaking out. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/please-dont-worry-about-me

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth. When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

ICE showed up on private property without a Warrant and was sneaking around so when the one of the owners showed up he told them to get off the property and they did because they know that what they were doing was illegal and they're being watched by everyone now including Judges

‪ ‪ Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel. "Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

“.. The concert had been held at the Kennedy Center for 20 years ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/12/24/u...

This is profoundly un-American. No—that's not right. It's *anti*-American. It's hatred of the United States and its founding documents and all its people and all its traditions. The person who wrote and approved this is a weirdo who detests everything that America stands for.

With ZERO fucks left to give, Caroline Kennedy, throws down the gauntlet on the loathsome piece of shit for his desecration of The Kennedy Center. 😳👇

Anyone who thought Trump wasn’t going to bomb people on Christmas Day hasn’t been paying attention.

“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

Bombing on Christmas. Yeah that tracks for the dude who gave himself a madeup Fifa Peace Prize.

RFK: “Where did all this autism come from? It never existed when I was a kid!” “A Christmas Story”, a 1983 movie based on a 1971 memoir about a childhood in the 1930s: “This is my brother Ralphie. He has a ton of sensory issues and behaviors we don’t understand. Every family has a child like him.”

The malignant narcissist can’t stand America trying to have a peaceful Christmas without him.

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

That’s not how GDP works. But it is how propaganda works.

Sounds legit

NEW: Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn and Officer Danny Hodges have filed their response to the government's arguments against hanging the January 6th plaque in the Capitol pursuant to federal law. I'll post a link to the full filing once it's on the docket.

I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

Meiselas: I’ve got to ask about your reaction to CBS censoring a report it was going to air on 60 Minutes… Is this something you see investigating? Garcia: There are many members of Congress looking at this issue in particular, and I think CBS still has a lot of explaining to do.

Wow! Letter from Epstein to a convicted sex offender Larry Nassar right before Epstein’s death. This was in the files the DOJ released last night and then removed from their site.

So the "most transparent president in history" won't let Jack Smith's testimony become public. He's got them holding back tens of thousands of Epstein documents, haven't seen his taxes, his school records, and no one knows why the East Wing was destroyed before he even had ballroom plans. Yeah.

LMAO McGovern is on fire right now 🔥🔥🔥

Crockett: As he stood up today in front of the American people, he sounded like a used car salesman. Like, let me just shout it out. Buy what I'm selling. Yes. This is a lemon. Yes. He is selling nothing but lemons

This is obscene. Why can't other politicians say that? The 25 richest families are collectively $358.7 billion richer than a year ago, with a combined fortune totaling $2.9 trillion.

LUHAN: Is the FCC an independent agency? CARR: I think th--- L: Yes or no C: There's a test for this in the la--- L: It's yes or no, Brendan! On your website, it simply says, man, 'the FCC is independent.' This isn't a trick question C: The FCC is not L: So is your website lying? C: Possibly

A rare moment of bipartisanship

The interview was recorded, as most good journalists will do. Fake news hides the crimes and truth from the people; they don't expose it. Fox is a prime example of Fake News and the White House Press person is just another example of Fake News and Projection.

54% of US adults read below a sixth-grade level. Honestly, America, illiteracy doesn't make any country "great", and electing a man who left office with the worst jobs record in modern history (again) is plain stupid.

RFK Jr's Dep of Health and Human Services canceled all grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics, including research on detecting and diagnosing autism, a topic constantly on RFK Jr's mind. He cancelled the grants because the AAP criticized him. The USA is being run by petulant toddlers.

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

I love that American nationalists think other countries should give America their oil.

An absolute bedrock institution for understanding how the planet works, just civilization-scaled vandalism by the most incurious morons on Earth

COLLINS: What do you say to people who say Republicans have had 15 years to change the ACA and they haven't done it? RICK SCOTT: Why didn't Democrats fix it?

This feels a little too on the nose: Under Trump, America only wants people who don’t check facts www.npr.org/2025/12/04/n...

“Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people.” – Rob Reiner

No judge. No jury. Just the Secretary of War.

Yesterday, I told you that my law firm is litigating 66 voting and election cases in 35 states. By the end of today, it is up to 69 cases in 37 states. The 2026 midterm elections will be a fight to protect democracy. I started Democracy Docket to keep you informed. Sign up now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

MINNEAPOLIS: “We kept yelling ‘she’s pregnant! She’s pregnant!’ — they put their knees in her… the handcuffed woman was dragged on the ground…” Lawless.

Even James Woods expects more from a president.

That’s an easy answer: FUCK YES.
