Distractions.... RELEASE THE EPSTEIN CLIENT LIST

He’s not a doctor, but he plays one in the White House.

The two people Trump hates most, in town today for the rugby - London Mayor Sadiq Khan and Canadian PM Mark Carney.

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.

This is your daily reminder—not that any is needed—that Trump is an absolute fucking moron.

War torn Portland (2025) 😞

4:40 am in Kyiv. Constant work of air defence. Drones. Missiles launched. My wish is the same: may everyone meet the new day in Ukraine.

If my pumpkin at Halloween doesn’t glow like this, I’m carvin’ another.

Please stop using the Emperor's New Clothes metaphor for Donald Trump. It conjures images that are truly terrifying.

It's odd that Republicans can do the mental gymnastics to link Tylenol to autism, but not link gun deaths to guns.

Oh, honey . . . YOU'RE the serious public safety threat. Just get the fuck out of our lives, you lawless Nazi thugs.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

Kyiv region

Greetings from Kyiv. It was a night when I sometimes felt that a buzzing drone or an explosion could end everything. The city woke up with damage and casualties. I need a warcoffee.

Russia unleashed one of its biggest air assaults on Kyiv early Sunday — waves of drones, cruise missiles, Kalibrs, and Kinzhal hypersonic missiles. Civilians have been killed. www.kyivpost.com/post/61007

I wonder how many people fully appreciate that Trump just falsely declared the blue state of Oregon to be in a state of Rebellion against the United States so he could deploy active-duty military from the Department of War to kill American citizens Meanwhile, he *pardoned* the January 6 terrorists

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

The White House knows exactly what it was doing when they published a list of Democrats who have used their voice to call out Trump & Miller’s ICE abuses. The list is now being used by the far right as an enemies list. It’s reckless. It’s dangerous. And it puts lives at risk.

If this doesn’t wake Americans up, nothing will. There’s been no trouble in Portland. This is gratuitous military occupation of a city.

A video has been shared online with claims it shows two boys being arrested for waving an England flag. But the footage is actually from a 2008 episode of Traffic Cops, and shows something entirely different.

The fascist authoritarian Trump regime has declared war against the citizens of Portland, Oregon — with Trump authorizing Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to use "Full Force" (kill) American citizens who oppose fascism. 😳👇

So, it has started. russia has been intensively targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure again. From the latest: after today’s attack, 177 settlements were left without power in Chernihiv Oblast (north).

⚡️Lavrov tells UN Russia has no plans to attack Europe, warns of 'decisive response' to aggression. Moscow also repeatedly denied planning to invade Ukraine, but on Feb. 24, 2022, Russian forces launched air strikes and a ground assault against Kyiv and other cities from multiple directions.

Gavin Newsom nails it. Every diversion Trump perpetrates is about suppressing the Epstein files. 🎯🎯🎯👇

Former Reform UK leader Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty to eight counts of taking payments from ex-MP Oleg Voloshyn in return for scripted pro-Russian statements in the European Parliament. Voloshyn is facing trial in Ukraine for treason and is under US and EU sanctions. Gill was released on bail.

Trump's out there yellin’ about immigrants and felons like he didn’t marry one and become the other.

I finished categorizing news for tomorrow’s letter, read that we may face a new massive attack at night, and thought: I need beauty. So, today’s photo.

A helpful primer.

This is Trump's calculation: It's far better to devastate the livelihoods of working class Americans than to release the Epstein files and have it revealed that he is a pedophile. 2/2

Mike Johnson is delaying the swearing-in of rep-elect Adelita Grijalva because she is the 218th vote — which is the exact amount of votes needed to release the Epstein files. Since Trump plans to shutdown the government, Johnson only has to stall for four days. 1/2

He will show up somewhere else to continue his brutality…

If there’s one thing you do today, listen to Andy McCarthy who made clear that there is no case against Comey. It’s not surprising Halligan had to present the case to the grand jury herself.

ICE GOONS 'RELIEVED OF CURRENT DUTIES' AFTER VIOLENT CONFRONTATION CAUGHT ON CAMERA KEEP FILMING EVERYTHING!

Trump called on the federal government to unseal all remaining classified files on aviator Amelia Earhart. If it’s that simple, then why not the Epstein files?

Morelle: Here’s the problem whenever the president speaks—and I hate to make light of this because he’s the president—but it’s almost always just fantasy. This week he’s suddenly a scientist, telling us what we should do for a fever if you’re a pregnant woman. It’s an endless series of baloney.

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

Adelita Grijalva should get sworn in Tuesday. Republicans swore in 2 of their Florida members right away. But the government is about to shut down and leadership is more concerned with blocking Massie & my vote to release the Epstein files. What are they hiding?

It's going to be wild if TV chatterbox Pete Hegseth has all our generals and admirals pledge loyalty to a disloyal man who lied to avoid involuntary service in the same military.

After a college student finally found a treatment that worked for his ulcerative colitis, UnitedHealthcare decided it wouldn’t pay for the costly drugs. His fight to get coverage exposed the insurer’s hidden procedures for rejecting claims. (Published Feb. 2023)

DOJ has sued 8 states for protecting their citizens' sensitive voter registration data. My law firm has intervened to oppose DOJ's efforts in the first two states -- Maine and Oregon. Six more to go...

I just took a Tylenol and one of the side-effects was chronic curiosity about who else is in the Epstein Files. Ask your doctor if apprehending pedophiles is right for you.

This is SO important, but gets lost in the chaos of the day… she was FIRED for following the LAW 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
