The Epstein files released today did not come from the DOJ's Epstein Files. They came from Epstein's estate. Pam Bondi is still protecting Trump at all costs. Today's release by Democrats was aimed at undermining her efforts. And to make it harder for Donald to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell.

Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

I don’t know at this point if there is enough evident to say “the New York Times, institutionally, was a co-conspirator with Epstein” but it’s basically beyond doubt at this point that at least one employee of the paper were co-conspirators and used their position at the paper to help affect that

Could this be the moment that Trump found out Putin had the Epstein files too?

I believe this is the end of the end of the road for the regular ballot King County had to process. That only leaves 'challenged' ballots, which are 1,500 ballots. If that's right, Wilson's lead is now higher than the number of remaining ballots.

Five Peruvian investigative media outlets are seeking to block a law they say threatens their ability to operate independently by expanding state oversight of nongovernmental organizations that receive foreign funding. Read the story:

1. This email mentions some machinations involving the dubious sale of a Palm Beach house. bsky.app/profile/davi...

Rep. Thomas Massie says the House parliamentarian has assured him that the signatures on the Epstein discharge petition are locked in and cannot be removed. The petition has to “ripen“ for 7 days of Congress being in session. Then a vote, unless Trump & Johnson have a new trick.

Republicans are scrambling to cover up the Epstein file, but we say anyone involved in Epstein's billion-dollar child sex trafficking ring must be brought to justice—whether Republicans, Democrats or, yes, even presidents.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

First it was the Oval Office and all the portraits. Then the Rose Garden, then the East Wing. Now this sacrilege. How can we make it stop? #ProudBlue

Totally explains a TON if the smoking gun in the Epstein files isn't underage girls but is in fact RUSSIA

"conversations that took place in the Situation Room" ??? So, just to be clear: Yemeni airstrikes = Signal is good President's involvement with Jeffrey Epstein = Situation Room/SCIF RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES, THEN IMPEACH

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

Thursday’s front pages #TomorrowsPapersToday

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

with Trump, all roads lead to Putin and pedophilia.

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Apparently, in her interview, Ghislaine Maxwell misled the DOJ and Trump’s crony Todd Blanche, which reportedly resulted in her receiving unusually favorable prison conditions — including access to a service puppy. Poor puppy!

GOP Rep. Bacon: "I do think this was a PR disaster for the White House. When you tell everybody you're going to release everything, that you have the names of all the clients, and then you then you come back and say, 'oh, there was none.' This was a self-inflicted wound by the White House."

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.

🔥 @RepJoeNeguse: “Most of 🇺🇸 will find this REPUGNANT. These senators are guaranteeing themselves million-dollar paydays.” Bipartisan horror at @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn’s greedy money grab snuck inside the funding bill— rewarding themselves for getting investigated.

Today we are now seeing email correspondence between Landon Thomas Jr. and Epstein showing how much dirt the reporter had on Trump. Curious why it did not come out then. 2/2 Source www.npr.org/2019/08/22/7...

Within a year of this email, Epstein was dead.

“.. in the Situation Room.” 👀

As Karoline Leavitt concludes her press briefing and walks off, @andrewfeinberg.com asks: "What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?" She did not respond.

No one could have predicted this except everybody. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020...

In the Situation Room?!? 🙄

Kudos to Donald Trump for making every Republican who votes against releasing the Epstein files look even more like they're guilty of running cover for a president who was closely involved with a notorious sex trafficker.

NEW: Trump’s approval on managing the government has cratered - now just 33% overall! Support from his own party is slipping fast: Republicans down from 81% → 68% Independents down from 38% → 25% Even his base is losing faith. The “populist” president is losing the people.

On this Epstein stuff, just a reminder that multiple contestants in the Miss Teen USA pageant - to repeat, TEENAGERS - said that when Trump owned it, he would walk into the dressing room so he could watch them changing clothes www.buzzfeednews.com/article/kend...

Now in the courtroom in Chicago's Dirksen Federal Courthouse, waiting for the Broadview Six's arraignment hearing to begin. The courtroom is packed with press and observers.

I wrote this in September. Still true. "I think it’s time for me to say, without reservation, that ... he’s a bag of hot garbage, utter gutter sludge & beyond redemption. If a billion people pissed on his grave, the deluge wouldn’t be nearly enough to teach his criminal bones the meaning of shame."

Republicans BLOCKED an amendment that would redirect $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years. Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Yeah whoever jacked up tariffs on coffee from Brazil earlier this year must be a real bonehead

“The trouble for Trump is that the more we see, the worse it looks. None of these three emails are the final word on the story. They don’t definitively prove anything in any direction. But they do provoke questions – not just what Trump knew, and when, but also what Trump did, and with whom.”

Oh …

As tRump considers climate change a "hoax", the US did not send senior-level delegates, leaving it up to Gavin Newsom to step in. "What the hell is going on here?"--Gavin Newsom in reference to Trump’s tariffs on Brazil. #Pinks #ProudBlue #Brazil #Newsom www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-s...

Once again, the way you know that Trump knew Epstein was trafficking HIS OWN GIRLS is it happened w/Virginia Giuffre in 2000, he told (we now know) Maxwell to stop, then Maxwell did it again w/daughter of a club member. "Mar-a-Lago" confessed all this in 2007. www.emptywheel.net/2025/11/12/t...

Having an inarticulate man who has never been in a grocery store give an inaccurate speech to people who are in grocery stores all the time that is full of easily disproven lies about how grocery prices are going down isn't a winning "affordability" strategy.

Trump's Pentagon name change could cost up to $2 billion www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

NEW via CNN: “The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal”

Rep. Adrian Smith R-NE ignores Democrats on the floor and adjourns the House until Wednesday. Adelita Grijalva was elected on Sept. 23 and still has not been sworn into office. It may finally happen later this week.

News coverage of this has focused on the pardon of those involved in the fake electors plot. But the pardon also extends to key figures who participated in the unauthorized breach of voting systems in Coffee County, Georgia My reporting on the breach: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/what...

Relatedly, in case you missed it: My colleague @rparloff.bsky.social wrote an excellent play-by-play of last Wednesday’s hearing in the Comey case. You won’t find coverage this detailed in any other media outlet. Read here: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/tria...
