DOJ and Russian state media are virtually indistinguishable.

They’re starting to get it.

Brian Stelter on how the 60 Minutes CECOT segment leaked: CBS shipped it off to one of its affiliates, a Canadian network called Global TV. Global TV streamed the report on its app today, which caught the attention of some Canadian viewers.

This is the full 60 Minutes segment on CECOT Bari Weiss and CBS News didn't want you to see. substack.com/@blueatlgeor...

Crazy day.

The White House Deputy Press Secretary LMAO

Maria Shriver: "Adding your name to a memorial already named in honor of a great man doesn’t make you a great man."

Trump goes on a psychotic rant about Marjorie Taylor Greene. "Marjorie Traitor Brown, I call her, because green turns to Brown under stress. So I call her Traitor Brown, which I don't like doing because two words is too much. Two out of three."

Joe Kennedy III on Trump adding his name to The Kennedy Center: It is named this way under federal law. It would akin to if President Trump wanted to put his name on the Lincoln Memorial because he liked Lincoln. Putting a name of a living president on a monument to a fallen one is bizarre.

Ro Khanna: ... The documents filled with blanket redactions that judges had ordered to be released. There's no draft indictment there that has the names of other men who may be implicated in the abuse. There's no prosecution's original memo. There are none of the files on Epstein's computer...

John King: One new document in the files, time-stamped 1996. It's an FBI witness statement alleging child pornography. Another is a shocking Justice Department tally putting at 1200 the number of Epstein victims and their family members.

"Introducing 14-year-old Doe to Donald J. Trump, Epstein elbowed Trump playfully asking him, referring to Doe, "This is a good one, right?" Trump smiled and nodded in agreement. They both chuckled..."

Jeffrey Epstein had the photo of Trump, Melania, and Ghislaine hanging out at Mar-a-Lago in what appears to be a desk drawer.

Epstein flight logs: "Donald Trump, Marla, Tiffany, nanny."

Epstein files Grand Jury testimony. This is a cover-up.

These are some of the Epstein files, "the most transparent administration in history," released today.

Maria Shriver's statement on Trump attempting to illegally rename The Kennedy Center.

Rep. Joyce Beatty sets the record straight after Trump's mouthpiece, Karoline Leavitt, tried to claim renaming The Kennedy Center was unanimous.

Listen to Donald Trump pressure Georgia House Speaker David Ralston to overturn the 2020 election. Trump: Who's gonna stop you for that?" Ralston: "A federal judge... I want Donald Trump to remain the president. If there's any way that we can possibly help in that regard, I'm on board."

Trump Aug '24: From the day I take the oath of office, we will rapidly drive prices down and make America affordable again. Sep '24: My plan will rapidly defeat inflation. Oct '24: I will cut your energy prices in half within 12 months. Nov '24: We're going to get those prices down and quickly.

- He didn't inherit historic inflation. It was and is 3% - 400–600% drug prices are mathematically impossible - Grocery prices are going up - $18T investment is fiction (WH says $9.6T) - $1.99 gas is false, lowest average is ~$2.40 - 25M invasion is false - He did not settle 8 wars

- CPI was 3% in January; it's still 3% - Unemployment was 4.0% in January, 4.2% in May, latest is 4.6% (highest since 2021) - Only 20% say the US is on the right track on inflation - Only 27% say the country is on the right track on jobs - Net approval was +6% in January. Now it's–25 points

Back to podcasting conspiracies.

Sen. Jacky Rosen: Fox News also edited an interview that Donald Trump did last year in the middle of a presidential campaign. Will you commit to opening an investigation into Fox News for its deceptive editing? Brandon Carr: No.

LMAO

John Fugelsang was on fire tonight: Every time Kash Patel opens his mouth, someone should play the Benny Hill theme. There's career FBI agents chasing an active shooter, and this guy is chasing social media engagement numbers. This shooter's still on the loose, bro. Smash the like button.

John Fugelsang: Marjorie Taylor Greene has been trying to warn Republicans that throwing 20 million souls off the health care rolls and Medicare is going to hurt red state voters. She has not been listened to. A+++ is not a real review. That is like a guy reviewing his own restaurant on Yelp.

John Fugelsang on Vanity Fair piece: I wouldn't be surprised if Trump really didn't read it because it's printed in sentences, so it's a bit much for him. Don't be surprised if Susie leaves because she'd like to be employable beyond this job.

Chris Whipple: When you hear words like out of context and omissions and framing, what that tells you right away is that you have hit the target. They have nothing. They literally have not challenged a single or assertion or fact in the piece.

Marjorie Taylor Greene on Epstein: They think there's around 1000 victims, but a smaller portion of these women say that there is a list of men, rich, powerful men that they were passed around to.

Kaitlan Collins on Ghislaine Maxwell being moved to a minimum security prison: Do you believe that they should reverse that decision then, because [Susie Wiles] said that the president was really mad about it? Marjorie Taylor Greene: They call her a monster, and they were infuriated.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: I think the dam is breaking... last week, 13 Republicans voted with Democrats to overturn one of President Trump's executive orders, which enabled him to fire federal workers.

Anderson Cooper: The White House was saying things were taken out of context. Chris Whipple: Everything was scrupulously in context... There isn't a single fact or assertion they've challenged in the piece. It's on tape, as is every assertion that Susie made.

Trump wanted you to believe attacking Venezuela was about drugs.

😬

Los Angeles DA Nathan Hochman: I'm here to announce that our office will be filing charges against Nick Reiner, who is accused of killing his parents, actor-director Rob Reiner and photographer-producer Michele Singer Reiner. These charges will be two counts of first-degree murder.

Donald Trump trashes Rob Reiner while forgetting a key detail of his own mythology: the cover photo for The Art of the Deal—the book he still dines out on—was taken by Reiner’s wife, Michele Singer. Trump’s “brand” was literally helped into existence by the very family he now insults.

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement. #NoWords 🤮

Jack White responds to Trump’s hateful post about Rob and Michele Reiner. “To use someone's tragic death to promote your own vanity and fascist authoritarian agenda is a corrupt and narcissistic sin.“

Just when you thought Trump couldn’t be more of a POS.

The most incompetent administration in history.

This is a real headline on the New York Times website. Support independent media.

Piers Morgan: When you first heard of the murder of Charlie Kirk, what was your immediate gut reaction? Rob Reiner: Horror. Absolute horror… that should never happen to anybody.

People: Rob Reiner and His Wife Michele Were Killed by Their Son. people.com/rob-reiner-w...

TMZ: Rob Reiner and his wife Michele found dead in their L.A. home with knife wounds. www.tmz.com/2025/12/14/r...

Trump posts update that the Brown University suspect is not in custody but his original post is still up. Total clown show.
