"Something in the US economy isn’t adding up, and it’s rattling the people charged with wrangling inflation and keeping the labor market intact," Bryan Mena writes | Analysis

After teasing a plan by Trump to extend Affordable Care Act premium subsidies, the White House has delayed the announcement under pressure from Republicans. If Trump doesn’t sign legislation before Dec. 15, millions will be forced to pay more for health insurance, or forgo it altogether.

A new Education Department regulation to narrow eligibility for a key student debt relief program for public service workers has drawn strong opposition from advocates who say it's an attempt to target organizations disfavored by the Trump administration ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/11/21/r...

'An American nightmare': L.A. hosts first congressional hearing on effect of immigration raids

President Donald Trump’s administration continues to face claims that US officials are wrongfully deporting migrants in violation of court orders and other legal protections amid his ramped up immigration enforcement.

This is wild: On the same night the Senate advanced the Epstein files release, Trump hosted Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman — the man U.S. intelligence says ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s murder. When ABC’s Mary Bruce questioned him on Epstein, Trump threatened ABC’s license.

"Like, you can’t just be e-mailing the most famous sex offender in the world about how you intend to use your professional position to make a woman have sex with you, & then keep that professional position, right?" QTNA by @elienyc.bsky.social

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

The United Nations Mine Action Service estimates between 5% and 10% of Israeli weapons fired into Gaza in the past two years failed to detonate, and unexploded ordnance has killed at least 328 people.

Larry Summers needs to resign or be pushed out of Harvard. This is absolutely unacceptable.

Here’s a story for every national news outlet: In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property. “Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.” www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

Former UN special rapporteur Richard Falk was detained by 🇨🇦 customs agents and, for four hours, was asked a series of questions about his participation in the conference, his involvement in the Israel-Palestine conflict, and his position on Israel. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I’m going to be honest with you: The headline is appalling, but the piece, which indeed has an absolutely bizarre tone of nostalgia, is worse.

Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.

Hundreds of thousands of deaths have already occurred as a result of the Trump administration's dismantling of USAID.

NEW: Trump’s second term has been marked by voter suppression efforts and a refusal to let 2020 election conspiracies die. Driving this anti-voting agenda are election deniers in key posts who are working tirelessly to rig the vote. Matt Cohen highlights the ones to watch👇 https://bit.ly/3LKeRz6

Last year, the owner of a sawmill in North Carolina voted for Trump. This year, he’s closed down his mill and blames the squeeze from Trump’s tariffs. On the Big Take podcast, Bloomberg economics reporter Shawn Donnan visits the “Old North State” to understand the ripple effect of tariffs

A site affiliated with Lee Greenwood sells merchandise with the seal—such as a $20 beer pong set with “Presidential themed balls”—and pays licensing fees to a Trump LLC.

Steve Bannon advised Jeffrey Epstein for years on how to rehab his reputation, texts show

Kash Patel, as you might remember, had long crusaded for the release of the Epstein files and victim lists—only now in office to reverse course, downplay the whole thing, and become one of the leaders of the effort to muzzle the release of further information.

Acceding to President Donald Trump's demands, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Friday that she has ordered a top federal prosecutor to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's ties to Trump political foes. n.pr/4i25hnd

NEW: Using his clemency power, Trump has undone prosecutions made by his own DOJ during his first term. Experts say the actions show a broad contempt for the justice system: “He’s rejecting ... the work of people he appointed but didn’t fully control.” By @jeremykohler.bsky.social

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends. It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

FYI Epstein document searchers: “McGyver” is a nickname for Trump.

For no particular reason….posting former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell’s mugshot before he went to Federal prison for committing numerous crimes on behalf and or/at the direction of President Nixon including obstruction of justice and conspiracy.

“Many of the women say that they were pressured to have unwanted or unnecessary gynecological procedures while in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement”

According to new Reuters poll, only 29% of Americans support using the U.S. military to kill suspected drug traffickers without a judge or court being involved. 51% oppose. www.reuters.com/world/us/jus...

One thing I’m very wary of is the public demand for salacious details about who raped children with Epstein, rather than a focus on the victims, the need for justice, and also the global conspiracy to install far right wing governments that was at the heart of Epstein and Bannon’s work together.

I know this is old man yells at cloud but there is something in the constitution about this

Nobel Peace Prize amirite

Bannon stayed at Epstein's house in Paris on 3/31/2019, less than four months before Epstein was arrested. drive.google.com/file/d/1EKKd...

One of my biggest takeaways from today's Epstein file dive (so far) is that every single thing we suspected about Trump is true, and Epstein is at the heart of all of it. Russia Ukraine (impeachment one) Bannon working behind the scenes with Trump after being fired

PS. The whole thing that kicked this off was his own AG, in charge of his own weaponized DOJ, claiming that the Epstein files DID NOT EXIST.

Here's Epstein in his own words about Bill Clinton. "bad press in full' swing . she also claims to have dinner on my island with clinton. lots of details where he was sitting etc however he was NEVER on the island NEVER. its silly, but she has lots of traction" drive.google.com/file/d/1GyKY...

This is a very meta conversation where Epstein and Bannon are discussing Roger Stone going on InfoWars/Alex Jones to call Epstein "Clinton's pimp" and assert he was Bannon's primary funder. It's no wonder the entire MAGA base wants the Epstein files released. They were primed for it.

Here's Epstein and Bannon a month to the day before Epstein's 2019 arrest discussing entering into a Kovel agreement, which would prevent disclosure of anything they discussed between them. Epstein: "Recall 0" It's all so dirty and sick. drive.google.com/file/d/1hdFN...

BUT HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THE TEXTS WHERE BANNON AND EPSTEIN AGREED TO A BUSINESS ARRANGEMENT AND MET ON THE ISLAND REPEATEDLY? HAVE YOU? OR ARE YOU DEFLECTING FROM THE MOST CULPABLE ACTORS?

If you’re not already following @ecmclaughlin.bsky.social , definitely follow her, read everything she’s posting here about Epstein/Bannon, and definitely watch her video from today: youtu.be/8_MmDjXq3qE

Meet Bubba Saulsbury, son of Odessa oil industry magnate Dick Saulsbury. Also friend to Kash Patel and JD Vance. This is who the Epstein felatio email is rumored to be referring to. Not Bill Clinton.
