The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

I'm losing track of how many countries a man livid he wasn't given the Nobel Peace Prize has illegally bombed. Iran. Venezuela. Nigeria. Afghanistan. Iraq. Libya. Pakistan. Somalia. Syria. Yemen. Not to mention threatening to annex Greenland and Canada and invade Panama.

I'm seeing all sorts of celebratory posts that the Kennedy Center only has one performance scheduled for the new year. Regrettably, this isn't true. Though the website is confusing, there are many scheduled performances. So stop celebrating and start contacting these artists.

When you think that you have heard the worst, you find out something worse.

Blatant corruption on full display.

“It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.”

This latest Trump pardon of a Columbian drug king pin sentenced to 40 years in prison is just another in a string of pardons for big time drug traffickers Law & Order, my ass! War on drugs, my ass Performative BS & Million Dollar Pardon$

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

Stephen Miller’s Wife @katiemiller : “Can you cite the statute that makes the boat bombings illegal?” @bakarisellers.bsky.social : “The due process clause in the constitution.”

Carolers raise their voices in a Home Depot parking lot in song. Their message to stop deportations gets attention, hits hard, & gets support. If you are like me and can’t sing, join me in boycotting Home Depot & let them know helping ICE will cost them money. #WeAintBuyingIt

McGovern: Buried in this bill is a corrupt kickback for eight Republican senators, a million dollar payday funded by taxpayers, taken from the treasury and deposited directly into their pockets. What the hell is wrong with this place?

For those keeping track at home, this make 18 politicians convicted of corruption charges now pardoned by President Trump.

These are the people and corporations who ponied up money to build the Epstein Ballroom. I’m just here to name ‘em and shame ‘em! Do with this information what you will but at least you know who is kowtowing to Dear Leader.

Asking earnestly, how is the ballroom project at all legal under the Anti Deficiency Act? www.gao.gov/legal/approp...

This act is illegal AF. It is not his personal residence and it is a registered historical property. Tag it properly. Let's get it trending. #EpsteinTrumpBallroom

He ruins everything he touches.

A must read for everyone. This isn't just about longCOVID and the ongoing pandemic but also the health, well-being of all of us. We must have a competent and transparent CDC, HHS, and we do not have that now. truthout.org/articles/i-a...

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Did you tear-up today when you were out protesting because you felt the camaraderie and fellowship with so many like-minded and caring people? I did. Did you tear-up today when you were protesting because you're still processing the fact that we're rapidly tumbling toward authoritarianism? I did.

I’m absolutely exhausted in the best possible way. I love us. We did it! #NoKings

Because this isn’t the movement of Reagan or Eisenhower or even Bush… if you still find yourself defending it, maybe the joke’s on you—because history never laughs with those who excuse the inexcusable. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

Such an important piece. The positive momentum behind clean indoor air is palpable. But we’re not there yet as my last post demonstrates. Please read and share and get behind this cause. theconversation.com/why-investme...

Reports from the Miami Herald reveal that a staggering 1,200 people have gone missing from just this one facility. Alcatraz is now drawing comparisons to Auschwitz.

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move. 1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year. Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

This is your regular reminder that Covid is airborne. It’s not over. It’s still killing and disabling people. It’s a novel virus and we still don’t know the full long term effects, but what we do know is not encouraging. Wear a mask. Clean the air. Stay home when sick. Protect one another.

😕 This is the “Trump Health Care Tax” @mcuban.bsky.social told Kanew Dems need to talk about more directly

Trump posted his text message to Bondi demanding persecution of his enemies and 4 days later Comey is indicted on some bullshit.

This is what politicization of the Justice Department results in.
