Germany's Defense Minister, Boris Pistorius: “The only person who can immediately stop the war is Putin. Despite the efforts of Americans, Europeans, and Ukrainians to achieve a ceasefire, there are no signals from Moscow that Putin is interested in ending the war.”

This is getting interesting. The unredacted files should be released so the public can see the full picture. Whoever is guilty should face charges.

A spokesperson for former President Bill Clinton accused federal officials of “using selective releases to imply wrongdoing” and called on the Department of Justice to immediately release any remaining Epstein-related materials that refer to, mention, or depict Clinton.

Bill Clinton demands the immediate release of any remaining Epstein files materials "referring to, mentioning or containing a photograph of Bill Clinton." Trump should make a similar demand of Bondi. (But by law, she should have already released ALL the files anyway, only redacting victims).

About that announcement in a few President Donald Trump is expected to announce a new class of U.S. Navy battleships, potentially called "Trump-class," at a Pentagon event this afternoon. Pentagon event.. at Mar-a-Lago.. naturally.

History will record that Kimmel and Colbert were among the shining brave lights of our time.

"Bondi and company are sorely mistaken if they think breaking the law and giving Congress a middle finger will make the Epstein scandal go away."

Epstein survivor Annie Farmer tells me there were likely other FBI reports from 1996 that the DoJ is withholding because they mention Trump. You can watch our interview here: open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

Schumer also disclosed that only 9,675 pages were released Friday Todd Blanche went on the Sunday shows and said “hundreds of thousands,” and corporate media repeated that number all damn day. END/

Ultra-rich media owners are tightening their grip on democracy. It’s time to wrest our power back https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/nov/13/trump-media-ultra-rich-democracy

Heather Cox Richardson: Romney “appears to acknowledge the political ideology of the past forty-five years has failed. He called for addressing the economic inequalities in the United States by placing higher taxes on the rich….”

His policies are picking winners and losers — and blurring the lines between business and government. n.pr/48P2QSb

In an internal memo, seen by CNN, Sharyn Alfonsi predicted that "the public will correctly identify this" as corporate censorship. WaPo has more from Alfonsi here >>>

The brave Epstein survivors need to understand that this is going to be a fight all the way. Trump DOES NOT WANT THE FILES RELEASED. START NAMING NAMES There is strength in numbers, but you need overwhelming numbers; encourage your sister survivors to join the fight www.bbc.com/news/article...

Looks like Yahoo is the only one still alive www.yahoo.com/news/videos/...

He likes putting his name on things. Why not these? 🤔

We’d like to share a remembrance for Betty Reid Soskin, the oldest serving National Park Service ranger in the country, who has passed away. Her life and work helped preserve history, expand whose stories are told, and inspire generations to come.

Thought they’ll gladly ship your money off to Venezuela but only to kill fishermen and the occasional cocaine dealer

Why would you need to put a pause on a story that has been meticulously fact-checked and lawyered? Sounds like the kind of story you’d want to run right away!

Don’t forget. Biden’s DoJ was investigating uncharged third parties in the Epstein files up until the last minute. Trump shut down the investigation, sent the files to DC, & fired the prosecutors. They went through them, redacted Trump’s name, then elected not to release them and closed the matter.

Sounds like they're trying to Bari the story.

Overwhelming amount of media world chatter and concern about "60 Minutes" tonight. Why would CBS News promote the story about the Trump admin's deportations to CECOT on Friday, only to shelve it today? Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi says it is "not an editorial decision, it is a political one."

When DOJ refuses to act (especially in matters involving its own conduct) Congress can’t rely on the executive branch to police itself, so lawmakers are turning to inherent contempt to assert their authority and pursue enforcement directly.

Every redaction in the Trump–Epstein files is either an image of Donald Trump or about him. Prove me wrong.

Whoaaaaaaa

Room temperature level IQ which appeals to bigots As lame as it gets

The most visible Republican house members, Marjorie Taylor Green, Nancy Mace, Elise Stefanik, etc. all leaving congress is a sign of women being purged from the Republican Caucus and the party writ large. I don't think anyone will shed a tear for them but that's what this is all about.

HUNT: So do you think the actions the DOJ is taking this are specifically designed to protect Donald Trump? JAMIE RASKIN: Well, what else? Yeah

61% of Americans say Trump’s policies are driving up health care costs, according to a new CBS/YouGov poll.

LIAR

— They consider Epstein’s associates victims — They already failed to protect the real victims in the initial release

😬

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files. Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out. See for yourself.

The Trump administration is trying to cut off access to gender affirming care. I am with the transgender and nonbinary community in this moment of anger and fear. We cannot, and will not, let this stand.

If she needs an assistant… Just sayin’

Get ready for the “Trump was a young playboy” propaganda even though he was 50 and the girls were 14.

Had to hunt, but here's the article:

Something funny and anecdotal but my engagement w ChatGPT is interesting, it responds to me as if it likes me, whereas, I know this person who happens to be “difficult”, they’ve shared their ChatGPT responses w me, and I swear, their ChatGPT doesn’t like them 😂

when you have to release the epstein files while also trying to selectively omit the guy who's in them more than anyone else

Having just seen someone through to their passing who had FTD, this tracks The confabulation aspect is particularly dangerous when you consider he has the ability to end life on earth 4x over. Fortunate for me, the person I cared for was NOT a malignant narcissist who could feel no empathy EVER

We adopted Prince, a 13yr old senior dog 🐶 from the animal shelter 3yrs ago, he’s a small dog, 11lbs, the other night, he started flipping around on the bed in the middle of the night, some type of convulsing or seizure, I was able to calm him and he seemed fine, now, he’s having trouble walking 😢

The Epstein Files: The Biggest Political Coverup in Modern History The DOJ just scrubbed 16 Epstein files from its website, including a photo of Donald Trump, intensifying concerns that Trump is actively trying - & failing - to protect pedophiles. thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-epstei...

The handiwork of a guilty man and his criminal henchmen who thumb their nose at the law, Justice, Congress and the American people.

The Trump DOJ deleted a literal drawer full of Trump photos from the Epstein files.

"Missing are FBI interviews with survivors and internal Justice Department memos examining charging decisions — records that could have helped explain how investigators viewed the case and why Epstein was allowed in 2008 to plead guilty to a relatively minor state-level prostitution charge."

Totally cool and normal and in no way suspicious and also something Republicans would be totally chill about if a Democratic administration did it.

Someone in the FBI who was tasked with redacting Trump from the Epstein files needs to leak the info.
