Jeffrey Epstein claims he gave Russians insight into Trump

Nancy Mace also says she won’t be removing her name.

Rep. Lauren Boebert says that there is “NO WAY” she will take her name off the Epstein files discharge petition. President Trump and his administration are pressuring her to remove her name. Via Manu Raju

Just a cushier prison?

THE EPSTEIN LATEST: a question for DOJ DAG Todd Blanche: did he know about the Epstein-Maxwell exchanges before his Maxwell interview? (The FBI had gone through the files after all.) And if not, why not? And is she going to enjoy the spoils of a prison "camp" and other benefits, after all this?

Yo, Seattle, go see Pateka play the Belltown Yacht Club on Nov. 20. screwdriverbar.com/byc

So that’s a “yes”?

Jeffrey Epstein in 2018: "i know how dirty donald is."

Our legal team just filed the 1st known lawsuit dealing with unconstitutional federal govt involvement in an employment termination in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's murder.

Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

"These emails prove absolutely nothing..." White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responds to questions about newly-released emails from the estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that mention President Trump.

New low for Trump with NYT's polling average.....

I am also thinking of the three Republican women who voted to release the files, who face intense pressure from Trump to switch their votes. What have they seen or even experienced in their own lives that might give them the fortitude to resist this pressure?

One of the GOP's sweatier Epstein defenses has been "if they had good stuff they'd have used it when Biden was president." But the growing awareness that Garland spiked anything that could look political explains this!

The email that’s most newsworthy in my mind is the one that Epstein sent to Ghislaine Maxwell in 2011. 1. This was years before Trump ran for office. 2. It appears that Ghislaine Maxwell lied to DOJ officials during her meeting with them a couple months ago.

Of course Trump know of Epstein’s crimes. Read the birthday book page!

Meet Yaa’kub Ira Vijandre. He’s the US’ latest political prisoner. His detention is designed to send the message that anything noncitizens post in support of disfavored causes can be labeled a deportable threat to national security.

I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world? Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)

Champagne on ICE.

Denying people food assistance is quite a platform.

JUST IN: The Senate officially passed a bipartisan package to end the record-long government shutdown.

Not true, but so telling. We must not help the poor.

Lord have mercy the Supreme Court is hearing oral argument rn in an appeal from a case I wrote about last year it's undisputed that Damon Landor suffered a *brazen* violation of his legal rights, yet the GOP justices sound skeptical that he can actually sue the prison guards who violated his rights

with the end of the shutdown looming, here's my look for @wired.com into what life has been like for EPA employees over the past five weeks: little to no heads up about who was getting furloughed next, important projects getting put on the back burner while deregulation moves forward:

I am proud that my legal team and I are leading the fight in this case against the Republican Party’s effort to throw out lawful ballots. Everyone needs to recognize this as the next step in the GOP plan to ban mail-in voting entirely and to eventually target early voting as well.

NEW: Donald Trump has pardoned a long list of allies in his bid to subvert the 2020 election including: -Rudy Giuliani -John Eastman -Mark Meadows -Sidney Powell -Ken Chesebro -Christina Bobb -Kelli Ward -Jenna Ellis www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Why?

so currently defectors are: Kaine (2030) Shaheen (Retiring) Hasan (2028) Fetterman (2028) Durbin (Retiring) CCM (2028) Rosen (2030) King (2030)

Major concession from Democrats here is enhanced ACA funds aren’t extended. Preserving them was Dems’ central demand in this fight. They secured a promise of a vote (which Thune has been offering for weeks), but that could still fail. Even if it passes, Johnson has made no promise of a House vote.

My red line has always been lowering health costs for Americans. Donald Trump and Republicans don’t want an agreement that meets that bar. I’m a no.

Two Cleveland Guardians pitchers have been indicted on federal charges accusing them of engaging in a scheme to rig sports bets based on pitches they threw during Major League Baseball games.

His "concept" of a Healthcare Plan is finally revealed. It involves eliminating the Insurance Industry & people purchasing their OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE. Unrelated, note his obsessive envy of Obama, historically rated 1 of our finest presidents, who he still believes was born in Kenya. #sad 🤣

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

To understand how Bari Weiss might approach climate coverage at CBS, I read every climate article the Free Press has published. Almost every one reinforced a common fossil fuel industry talking point—that climate change is exaggerated, that solutions don't work, and that fossil fuels = freedom

President Trump canceled your flight.

WOW! President Lula opens #COP30 with his strongest call yet to “get rid of fossil fuels” and “accelerate the energy transition.” Lula’s called for clear “roadmaps” on deforestation and a fair #fossilfuel phase-out sets the right tone. Now COP30 must follow with courage and concrete commitments.

I wonder how much Meta is protected (or thinks it is) by the number of people who have its stock in balanced portfolios. You'd destroy a lot of wealth by doing what needs to be done (shooting the entire company into the cold depths of space)

“Sometimes the fight takes awhile” isn’t as good of a bumper sticker.

To say nothing of the 1 million New Yorkers promised by the NY Post poll.

Good example of this messaging from the final NJGov debate. "He's said it's his job to support the president of the United States. I think as governor, it's a job to support the people of New Jersey." www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMFc...

A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow. But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.
