MAGA people lining up wanting the taxpayers to give them money. Trump wants $10 billion. Lindsey wants $1 million. J6ers want money. Farmers want money. Of course CEOs want their contracts, subsidies & tariff waivers. It’s griftapalooza at taxpayer expense for the gangsters.

It's three weeks after the deadline to release the Epstein files. Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna have now formally asked a federal judge to appoint a special master or independent monitor to ensure that all materials are released in compliance with the law.

This was a major initiative from the Biden White House, based in the idea of getting together all the countries with a stake in this crisis. They pressured China to stop precursor chemicals, hit hard at the capital funding for production in Mexico, and funded Narcan in the U.S. It apparently worked.

Jack Smith’s Testimony: A Reminder that Donald J. Trump Owns All of It... superb account and analysis open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

"I can’t abide by the schadenfreude-laden viewpoint that anyone who ever pulled a lever for Trump deserves whatever’s coming to them as a result. The fact is that this political moment is immiserating good people. I don’t blame them for that. I blame him."

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Hey so this seems like something more people should be talking about 🤔 🗳️ www.npr.org/2025/10/23/n...

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

PHILLIP: “We’re either a free market, or an economy that looks like China or Russia where you have to go to one guy to get answers on everything. If that's the kind of country you want, get ready for the next president who doesn’t wear your shirt color to do it.”

You don't want to miss this one!

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

They are giving him interior design projects because he has lost his mind and they know it. “They” being the engines of fascism behind the scenes and running the show— e.g. Miller, Bannon, Vought, et. al.

Phang: If that happened in January, how in the actual hell is Blanche now telling the American people that they suddenly discovered a million more documents? GTFOH. As far back as January, the entirety of the Epstein files were transferred to Main Justice at DOJ…

Tyler Perry is being sued for sexual battery by an actor who appeared in Boo! A Madea Halloween, marking the second person to accuse the filmmaker of sexual misconduct.

"A growing number of House and Senate Republicans are taking Islamophobia to a new level, actively calling for discrimination against Muslims and even arguing that some should be denaturalized and deported from the United States."

"Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officers in Yakima, Washington, spent Christmas Eve arresting a man in a Walmart parking lot—even taking his already purchased groceries for themselves."

🎄Merry Christmas from the Republicans!

This is such a good point. “Here’s the reason you can’t give them (the FBI) the benefit of the doubt. I haven’t been investigating this for years, and yet anyone who has talked to the survivors or the survivors’ lawyers knows that there are critical documents that people should see.”

If the Epstein files have proven anything, it’s that the justice system isn’t broken; it’s working exactly as it was built to do: to shield the rich and powerful from accountability while victims are buried, ignored, or silenced.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries. Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves. "Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks. "No, guess he should've complied," agent says. Yakima, Washington

If ICE can wrongly detain a U.S. citizen and move her before a judge intervenes, the message is clear: citizenship alone no longer guarantees protection. No one is off limits. #holdfast www.cnn.com/2025/12/23/u...

ICE arrest father on Christmas morning—handcuff his kids & make them watch. "We're just kids!" they cry—right before agent violently rips phone away breaking it. Detain the 2 minor children & perp walk their dad in front of them—3 more witnesses just filming were also arrested. Corona, California

This is what's known as "consciousness of guilt"

75 migrants. $7.5 million. So the going rate we’re paying a country to take migrants we’re deporting is $100k each. That’s an insane waste of money on top of the cruelty of sending people to a country they have no ties to. thehill.com/policy/inter...

It's true that Garland did nothing about Trump and Epstein while being completely aware of the crimes. The crimes were public information! Garland was installed to protect the DOJ, which protects Trump and Epstein. It's explained in this free 2023 article. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/servants-o...

Merrick Garland hid this from us for 4 YEARS, and allowed this disgusting monster to be reelected

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's. Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1. Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel. "Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

Bedoya: There’s the first bidding war: how much are you going to give Warner Bros. Discovery? The second bidding war is: what are you going to give Trump? Every one of these mergers is a chance for Trump to get his hooks into these networks, and their ability to make fun of him or criticize him.

The DOJ is lying when it says they *just now* received Epstein files from the Southern District of New York.

Who is the Trump DOJ protecting and why?? They’re playing games with these Epstein document dumps. @senecaproject.us is reminding them, we won’t forget who protected predators. America is watching.

There are a lot of files in this new dataset that have made me feel this way. I’m still making my way through DataSet 8, but this is some vile shit.

Kavanaugh goes out of his way to pen a footnote not having to deal with the case at hand. He appears to be trying to narrow the forces he unleashed with his prior opinion allowing for race- and ethnicity-based #KavanaughStops

Epstein says what he really thinks about his "best friend."

Message to President Trump from Greenland Tupaarnaq made by a greenlandic woman, which is a EU citizen.

MEMPHIS FLYER: “Nearly 6 of every 10 ICE arrests in Tennessee since Trump took office involve individuals with no criminal convictions...” So much for the violent criminals narrative, eh @GovBillLee? www.memphisflyer.com/nearly-60-pe...

Ahhh, so this is why Trump is constantly saying doctors kill newborn babies, a post-birth abortion as he thinks of it.
