If Donald Trump is OK with Pam Bondi making him look *this* guilty, the Epstein Files must have lots of outrageously damning evidence about him.

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers. An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social

This week, Professor James Hansen and colleagues published projections that the global temperature record could reach +1.7°C by 2027. And if that number lands in your gut the way it landed in mine, good. It should. #climatecrisis #auspol www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/two-yea...

Autocracy tries to capture the public mind by making the leader omnipresent and unavoidable. The defense is pluralism: people who remain self-connected, institutions that stay unbranded, and spaces that don’t revolve around power. When culture and conscience refuse capture, the illusion collapses. 🇺🇸

www.milwaukeeindependent.com/explainers/r... I bet the proof is in the Epstein files.

The person charged with enforcing the laws is an open lawbreaker, assisted by a team of open lawbreakers, backed by a Congressional majority indifferent to lawbreaking, supported by a Supreme Court that privileges them to break the law. It has no legitimacy whatsoever.

NEW: Abrego’s lawyers have proof of Todd Blanche’s direct involvement in his prosecution - after lying to the court about it for months. substack.com/@muellershew...

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...

In Moscow, they call her “our girl Tulsi” for a reason.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Goldman: This guy is so clearly trying to follow the Putin model—using the government to make money, making sure his allies control the most important companies in the country, including our media companies, doling out money by deregulating their industries, and taking money from them in return…

Let's be clear here, Elon is using a neo nazi term to call for the ethnic cleansing of Europe.

I find it shocking that people are shocked that Trump's DoJ is breaking the law

The EPSTEIN Files are a much quicker read than I expected.

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.

Sincere question, who arrests government officials when the very ones who should be arrested run the Department of Justice?

even among really smart folks, i think ppl have greatly underestimated just how much resources the ultra-wealthy have put into culture war bullshit to get us to fight each other instead of them

Asked how best he will be remembered, President Trump said “▪️.”

Walz: "It's very clear that the entire federal government is weaponized against Minnesota. They're threatening us. And this is what happens when you have a floundering presidency and it's about those ballrooms. Now we're back on transgender folks."

For what it's worth, the human rights violations being committed by our current administration are only seen at the tips of the various icebergs, of which there are many. Brace yourselves for what we find when they are no longer in control.

Jack Smith wants to testify in public - Republicans refuse. He wants his depo tape made public - no again. The second strike boat video? - nope. Epstein files law complied with? - not today. Vote on ACA? - maybe next year. Republicans: Hide, obstruct, lie, delay, deny.

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."

A very interesting (and ominous) article. Bonus, it also explains how that nuclear scientist at MIT who the Brown University shooter also murdered is tied into all of this.

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.

Khanna: Congress is talking about possible impeachment. They're talking about inherent contempt for the attorney general or deputy attorney general—any justice department official who has obstructed justice could face prosecution in this administration or a future administration.

My favourite bit of the Epstein Files: T■■■■ ■■■■■ ■■■■■. T■■■■ also ■■■■■, ■■■■■■, ■■■■■ & ■■■■■■ on the Isl■■■. #Epstein■■■■■ #EpsteinFiles

WATCH-- Former AG Eric Holder says Congress should consider impeachment for the DOJ officials responsible for holding back the Epstein files: “That's a nuclear option that Congress has.”

I know someone whose Hispanic cleaner, a citizen, has been stopped by ICE here 4 times. He’s now afraid to leave his abode. For now, most clients continue to pay him. Waiting for ICE to leave Minnesota!

Trust these numbers? Economists see a lot of flaws in delayed CPI report showing downward inflation … assumptions in the methodology were not clear to economists and were not fully explained in the release.

Murderers. And now moving on to killing American citizens next by taking away their healthcare. THEY DON'T CARE IF YOU LIVE OR DIE.

The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”… BULLSHIT. @repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition. This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Zelensky imo being very blunt and and honest about Trump’s future. It’s good to see.

Dr. Jonathan Reiner on why he was alarmed by Trump's speech: "It was delivered with a manic cadence -- almost a frantic cadence ... it was disturbing to watch. It was disturbing because he's the commander in chief."

Space news is the best. Like, what do you mean there's a runaway supermassive black hole 10 million times bigger than the sun moving through space at 2 million miles per hour www.space.com/astronomy/bl...

Trump is directing his administration to begin de-naturalizing around 100-200 people per month, on top of current immigration efforts to end visas, deport illegals, and deny visa applications.

When your party controls the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the Presidency, you don't get to blame anyone but yourself for your failures.

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

Europe has to align itself against Russia because Trump is completely beholden to Putin. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/w...
