This is an incredibly illuminating video on what we're up against.

Dean Martin, born Dino Paul Crocetti, son of Italian immigrant Gaetano Crocetti Frank Sinatra, son of Italian immigrants Antonino Sinatra and Natalina Garavanta Merry Christmas to everyone except Stephen Miller and his enablers and handlers

We have laws that are supposed to prevent any official who is involved in a criminal case from tampering with that case. So what went so wrong with the Epstein files and Trump? He's in the files and messing with the whole case. The system has failed us.

UPDATE: CNN confirms that "the envelope [holding the Epstein-Nassar Note] was sent from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City [where Epstein was being held] to Nassar"—*and* got vetted by federal officials. Which explains the Virginia postmark (where the FBI is).

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?

kavanaugh not beating the allegations that he’s a dumbass

Julie has been covering this longer than most. The DOJ is not following the law. #TrumpEpsteinCoverUp

In 2025, America saw the highest number of measles cases in over 30 years. That’s just a preview of what’s to come as RFK Jr continues his rollback of vaccine guidance.

I’ll take immigrants over pederasts any day.

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

The Dunning-Kruger Effect and the Streisand Effect, when merged, become the Bari Weiss Effect

"'If the administration’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient,' Ms. Alfonsi wrote." {gift link} www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

Farmer: As soon as Maurene Comey was fired, I had a sinking feeling in my stomach about what they were up to, because I believed it was not in the best interest of survivors. The sequence of events—Maurene being fired and then Blanche meeting with Maxwell…

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.

Every Democratic candidate for president should pledge to revoke whatever benefits people got by paying $1 million for Trump Gold Cards by executive order on day 1 with no refunds.

NEW: After months of the government telling the court under penalty of perjury that the US Attorney alone made the decision to charge Kilmar Abrego with a crime, there is now EVIDENCE tying Todd Blanche to the decision. More to come on Substack... storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It IS our war. We made a deal with Ukraine that if they gave up their nukes, we’d protect them from Russia.

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!”

Judge Mark Wolf on why he resigned: What we have now under President Trump is utterly inconsistent with equal justice under law. I watched, virtually day after day, his direction to the DOJ to prosecute his perceived political enemies and to insulate his friends, his family….

Comer: "If we find that there's any type of effort to redact the names of victimizers -- people who were involved in terrible crimes against these women -- then I call tell my Oversight Committee will be the first to unredact and shine a light on those names."

Avner’s, a Jewish bakery in Sydney, was covered in hundreds of letters of support overnight, following their decision to close due to antisemitism. This shop has repeatedly been vandalized with hatred since October 7th, so this show of support feels even more meaningful. ✡️❤️‍🩹

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.

Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

Jack Smith has requested that Jim Jordan release the entire video of his 8-hour closed-door testimony which he gave this week to the House Judiciary Committee. Will Jordan release the video to the public? If not, why not?

Warnock: He's got a lot of nerve saying that I'm using faith to divide people. This is a man who literally had protesters gassed and beaten down so he could hold up a bible in front of a church.

WTF? ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security.

so if you personally pay donald trump you get a fast track to a green card

Sen. Jack Reed: "I must remind everyone that we follow the law of war, and because of that, we expect other countries. So that when our service members are in distress, they're not shot up in the water or if they're wounded, left to die. If we don't do it, then we can't expect other countries."

Sen. Jack Reed: "This is really outrageous. Mark Kelly is a veteran, he's fought in combat, he's an astronaut. And even was simply repeated what the law is. If a US senator can't do that, then this country is in profound difficulty."

I’ve been voting to protect her rights for my entire life. She’s been voting against everyone’s.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

Warnock: "Any nation that tolerates this kind of violence year after year, decade after decade in random places, on our college and school campuses, without doing all that we can to stop it is broken and in need of moral repair."

x.com/ReporterWill... This should get way more attention that the photos that were released.

He absolutely does not care that your healthcare, is about to run out. Zero fucks are given.

Several Federal Court Rulings Have Already Clarified That Any ICE Agent Attempting To Detain Anyone Is REQUIRED TO HAVE A BENCH WARRANT FROM THE LOCAL FEDERAL JUDGE, And Without Said Warrant, Their Actions Can't Be Charged As KIDNAPPING... Local Law Enforcement Better Start Doing Their Jobs.

BILL BURR: “If someone’s working 160 hours a month and can’t make their rent, you’re not paying them enough. Maybe you should just be worth $900,000,000… How does a CEO take a f*cking 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”

Garcia: "Some of the other photos that we did not put out today are incredibly disturbing"

The clear takeaway from today is that Donald Trump is not unstoppable and you are not powerless.

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

Calling the press “fake news” is harmful. Calling them “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” for publishing reporting is something else entirely. Treason is a capital crime. Suggesting journalists should face it for exercising their First Amendment rights and doing their jobs is dangerous.

immigrants score the lowest on tests, but they also take all our jobs, while at the same time taking all the welfare and buying all the homes
