On the Larry Nassar letter from Epstein. FBI did request handwriting analysis of it suggesting they were not convinced it was actually from Epstein. That is in the files I believe. But what is NOT available (as far as I have seen as I post this) is what the analysis found.

very specific to DC complaint here but when trump is threatening to take over the city's historically significant public golf courses so he can privatize them and make them another getaway for the 1% i don't think going "well maybe they shouldnt be golf courses to begin with" is helpful or realistic

if you don't play or follow golf (or just don't get why so many people love it) this probably isn't on your radar but it should be understood as both a naked land grab and an attack on a part of DC's black history

Much of the opposition was about tourism; as a sometimes visitor to NYC, the place is so much nicer with less traffic. I am more prone to visit (and to linger and buy stuff) when I don't have to constantly risk a painful death from gridlocked cars in crosswalks jockeying for position.

You deserve more pencils and better economic policies.

People need to focus on what we know is true. That Trump was around Epstein so much because they shared underage girls.

To the Ellisons, $8B for the chance to censor CBS reports about atrocious Trump regime actions is a good deal. To Elon Musk (and the Saudis), $44B to censor and manipulate Twitter is worth it. They don't need profits from media properties. For them, money long ago crossed the threshold into power.

As the DOJ’s anti-voting lawsuits multiply, so do its mistakes. Misspellings, grammatical errors, unresolved notes, these missteps are no longer silly blunders, they’re eroding the DOJ’s credibility. But it might just be the gift that keeps on giving.

House Judiciary Republicans must call AG Bondi for a hearing when Congress is back in session. The Department of Justice will be held accountable.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.

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

This is President Donald ‘Stop Work’ Trump trying to keep affordable, clean energy off the grid, without a care about how many working people have to lose their jobs to keep his fossil fuel billionaires happy.

What began as a quaint and unique nod to New England’s seafaring heritage is proliferating in Hallmarkian proportions: the lobster trap Christmas tree. At least 20 of the structures dot the coastline from Connecticut to Maine.

“The problem isn’t some mistaken redactions and non-redactions. The problem is the administration has decided simply not to release key documents, like the original victim statements and the 60-count draft indictment of Epstein. We’re in the midst of a coverup.” www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-and-...

A quick reminder during this busy travel season to know your rights as a passenger. Please be kind, be safe, and have a great holiday season!

A fantastic NYT report: Donors to Trump get pardons, jobs, & access - and benefited from regulatory decisions the Trump admin has made. SUPER timely as SCOTUS is about to kill agency independence & give POTUS more control over agencies (likely to donors' benefit) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

What we have here is a top editor spiking a story not because of serious editorial concerns, but because: 1) she is insecure and needs to assert authority; 2) she wants to drive serious journalists out of CBS; and 3) she craves attention, which is her oxygen. Especially number 3

Paramount-owned CBS abruptly canceled a story exposing the Trump administration's brutal deportations. The reporter called it a "political decision." Paramount needs Trump’s backing to buy Warner Bros. — including CNN. Is that just a coincidence? This looks like corruption.

“If the administration’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a ‘kill switch’ for any reporting they find inconvenient,” Alfonsi wrote in her email.

I remember this very well. He was right of course.

CBS has become state regime media.

FOER: “This is one of those moments in Trump’s presidency when an event that would otherwise be recognized as a death knell for democracy somehow fails to elicit the outrage it deserves.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

"Where are the countless hours of footage that Jeffrey Epstein secretly recorded of people in his various homes?! We know Trump’s DOJ possesses numerous hard drives which contain footage taken from Epstein’s homes." open.substack.com/pub/deanobei...

From @iampoliticsgirl.bsky.social : “Democrats busted their asses to get 218 signatures for a discharge petition to force a vote on extending the ACA subsides… now Speaker Johnson is forced to bring the bill to the floor for a vote. But will he?”

🏛️⚖️ “Under the inherent contempt power the individual is brought before the “House or Senate by the Sergeant-at-Arms, tried at the bar of the body, and can be imprisoned or detained in the Capitol or perhaps elsewhere.” www.congress.gov/crs_external...

What a shameful question. First, it is not what Congress "asked for." It is what a federal statute REQUIRES. Second, WTF does "spirit but not intent" even mean? CBS bent a knee and paid Trump, it has a new owner who wants to please Trump, and sadly this is the result.

“A slap in the face to the survivors- they want to know who are the rich & powerful men who visited Epstein’s rape island and covered it up.” @rokhanna.bsky.social (D) & Massie (R) are drafting impeachment/contempt charges for Trump puppet Bondi - even if Sen kaine is against it🤔 for some reason

The Department of Justice has pulled more than a dozen images, including one containing photos of President Donald Trump, from the thousands of files related to financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that it released Friday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ICYMI — thousands protested ICE in MINNEAPOLIS…

They’re actually redacting Trump’s name AFTER the release.

The Department of Justice will not meet tonight's deadline to release all of the Epstein files. 🤔 Release The Trump-Epstein Files!

Q: “Why do you think Trump is working so hard to stop the Epstein files from coming out?” REPUBLICAN Rep. Massie: “These files implicate billionaires, friends of Trump, political donors — and Epstein had ties to 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 intelligence agencies.”

Goldman: This guy is so clearly trying to follow the Putin model—using the government to make money, making sure his allies control the most important companies in the country, including our media companies, doling out money by deregulating their industries, and taking money from them in return…

There is no basis to withhold these images under the clear terms of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. None.

Apparently, black is the new orange.

“The New York Times contacted Ms. Farmer about a report stamped with the date of Sept. 3, 1996. She broke down in tears. “I’ve waited 30 years,” she said. “I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.”

Democrats are focused on driving down the high cost of living. Republicans think the affordability crisis is a hoax. Big difference between us and the out of touch extremists.

This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release. AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

"Using awful tragedies as a pretext for far-reaching policy changes has become a pattern," the Editorial Board writes.

So just to be clear — our economy is doing great and everything is amazing… but also it’s still Biden’s economy and next year is when it will finally get good? Do we have that right?

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) appears to have pulled a photo containing images of President Donald Trump from the thousands of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein it released Friday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump’s Epstein files cover up is nothing short of Criminal

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer. Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump. Now, it’s gone.

TRUMP SUPPORTER: “The claim he walked into dressing rooms during Miss Teen USA is a complete lie.” REPUBLICAN: “He admitted it on Howard Stern.” TRUMP SUPPORTER: “He was clearly joking.” REPUBLICAN: “We can all go back and watch it for ourselves.”
