If only we had an amendment to the Constitution that protected speech . . .

So, what will Trump do to get these bombshells off the front page? War in Venezuela? Annex Greenland? Denaturalize American citizens? We need to spread the word now to stop him… www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

If this doesn't motivate you to vote in the Midterms, nothing will.

You’ll recall I told you that if Bondi violated the Epstein Files Transparency Act, it would trigger a lawsuit. That’s what Schumer’s resolution does. It directs the Senate Majority Leader to file federal civil action against the government over failure to release the Epstein files. 1/

"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."

Share and tell CBS to air this! Sharyn Alfonsi, the veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent who reported a segment about migrants sent to the El Salvadoran torture prison CECOT, just sent a blistering letter to colleagues, sounding the alarm that Bari Weiss spiked the story for political reasons.

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

This is some really bleak shit, folks. Take a hard look at your president.

If we treated him like a normal president he’d be in prison right now

Democrats Threaten To Sue Trump After Sham Epstein Files Release www.politicususa.com/p/democrats-...

You may recall the lurid tale Maria Farmer told about Epstein and Trump When she was in Epstein’s office With Trump ogling her And Epstein said “she’s not here for you” She told this to the FBI in 1996 They ignored her Later the Trump administration dismissed her She was finally vindicated today

Reports indicate the DOJ has roughly 300 gigabytes of data in theEpstein files That equates to millions of pages in document form Today they released about 300,000 pages-none of which mention Trump This appears to violate the law Congress should subpoena Pam Bondi to see what she’s hiding

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor. Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Because of the law I pushed to pass in the Senate, the Justice Department is required to release the Epstein Files TODAY. Releasing these files is crucial to accountability for perpetrators, justice for victims, and transparency for the American people.

When they wanted to release the files early this year, they paid $1M in overtime and put 1000 people on it - until they realized what was in the files. Now they’re slow walking the release.

A palace rising on public ground while the affordability crisis tightens its grip isn't just bad optics, it’s a betrayal of the idea of America… hartmannreport.com/p/is-the-new...

In Illinois, ICE agents have been documented swapping license plates to hide their identity. Under Illinois law, this constitutes a Class A misdemeanor. The state has made clear that this law will be enforced. Federal agents are not exempt from Illinois vehicle and registration statutes.

Phang: If Maxwell is so worried about the grand jury records coming out, can you imagine the treasure trove of information against Maxwell, Epstein, and others that’s being held in the total Epstein files?

Elon Musk’s net worth has now surpassed $600 billion, just weeks after Tesla approved his 10-year, $1 trillion pay package. That could amount to $100 billion per year — more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

I respectfully disagree with the jury’s verdict in the Judge Hannah Dugan case. The trial evidence showed that Judge Dugan did not obstruct ICE agents from arresting an undocumented immigrant. Let’s see what happens on appeal. Meanwhile, our support for Judge Dugan continues.

I was not expecting a guilty verdict. I hope Judge Dugan is successful on appeal. I’m concerned about this emboldening this lawless administration.

Count 1 was a misdemeanor; Count 2 was a felony.

Breaking: Judge Dugan ACQUITTED on Count One, convicted on Count 2.

Trump owned a talent agency and Miss Teen USA back in the day, and this is in the New York Times today: “Mr. Trump would occasionally send over modeling cards for Mr. Epstein to peruse, like a menu.” Was Trump involved in sex trafficking? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/u...

Reminding everyone for no particular reason that Section 230 is one of the last things standing between free speech online and Trump having control over everything you see and say on the internet

Begin where we are, and do what we can -- for ourselves, for one another, and our world. That is not just sustainable resistance, and it is more than persistence. If we embrace it fully, we can and will build a world where humanity and all life flourish for generations to come.

We're proud to announce that Cecillia Wang, our National Legal Director, will argue our landmark birthright citizenship case before the Supreme Court. Cecillia is a daughter of immigrants and battle-tested lawyer who has fought to protect civil liberties with the ACLU for over 2 decades.

Medical decisions should be left up to the individuals that are making them, their doctor, and their family. But now Trump and RFK Jr. want to take control and restrict access to gender-affirming care. It’s cruel and wrong. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

I’m not sure that Trump’s strategy of playing the deranged MAGA hits on prime time is going to work out well for him

This has the votes to pass with bipartisan support, but Johnson is going to adjourn the House again to delay it as long as possible just like he did with Epstein.

BREAKING: Dan Bongino, is expected to announce his resignation. Here's the interesting part: Bongino told his team that he tentatively planned to announce his departure on Dec. 19. What is on Dec 19th? That's the deadline for Trump to release the Epstein Files.

🚨Former Special Counsel Jack Smith, in a closed-door House Judiciary Committee hearing: “Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election & to prevent the lawful transfer of power”

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits. If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

BIG NEWS: @housedemocrats.bsky.social discharge petition to extend ACA tax credits by 3 years has enough signatures. Speaker Johnson must bring this to a vote on the House floor NOW. People cannot wait to have healthcare that could save their lives or the lives of their loved ones.

🚨House Democrats' discharge petition to force a vote on extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits has reached the necessary 218 signatures.🚨 We call on Speaker Johnson to bring this bill to the floor IMMEDIATELY to ensure Americans' health care costs don't skyrocket.

New in PN: 2025 was a political disaster for MAGA "Led by an erratic president who is failing at his only real skill — messaging — the Trump administration is losing a multifront political war, and things are likely to get worse for them before they get better."

This isn’t enforcement. This is harassment. They’ve grabbed people off the street for how they look, separated families, and scarred communities with masked agents with guns. I encourage everyone to do as they have — peacefully protect your neighborhoods and neighbors.

The DOJ has until Friday to FOLLOW THE LAW and release the Epstein Files. We need justice for victims and transparency for the American people.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

My staff have seen some of that file. It shows who paid Epstein and where his money was going. Getting this file released publicly is the key to getting justice for Epstein's victims, and holding his associates accountable. And that's why I'll continue to follow the money.

New in PN: The tech industry will come to regret its embrace of Trump "A comprehensive anti-corruption, pro-consumer movement would inevitably target the industry and its indifference to the harms it creates. It could be incredibly potent, and tech barons would have no one to blame but themselves."

While many Republicans running for Congress in swing districts are going to try to distance themselves from Trump, Miller, Kash, Hegseth, RFK Jr, et al, they enabled ALL of it. They all supported Mike Johnson for Speaker, who abdicated all oversight and congressional authority.

TDS is not a thing. But a psychopath-narcissist-machiavellian-sadist-drug addict-authoritarian sure AF is.

"Republicans often kowtow to Trump’s demands, but increasingly party actors like Indiana legislators are balking. When they do — whether motivated by principle, self-interest, or spite — it’s not (just) Democrats who benefit. It’s the entire country and the Constitution."
