Justice Department scrambling to find holiday volunteers to redact the Epstein files, internal DOJ email says. www.cnn.com/2025/12/23/p...

If you had come to me twenty years ago and said “in 2025 Russell Brand will be a far-right pundit spreading antisemitic conspiracies and accused of multiple rapes” I would have said “seems entirely plausible, how about those future cars, are they cool?”

Gosh. I'm wondering what ruling by which Supreme Court Justice might have previously given CBP and ICE the idea that they could just detain people and throw them behind bars for an extended period of time based on the color of their skin and nothing else?

Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden. Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?

Trump says anybody that disagrees with him will never be Fed Chair reut.rs/3MOOusu

The Epstein files have been updated and now include 193 GB of data and nearly 100,000 files. This includes the original version of DataSet 8 (with redaction failures), plus the re-released version. Download the data: ddosecrets.com/article/epst... Help us keep publishing: donorbox.org/ddosecrets

The thing about SCOTUS justices is that even the real fire-breathing ideologues aren't idiots. Kavanaugh knows that it might already be too late to avoid having "Kavanaugh Stop" become a permanent term in constitutional parlance, even if the decision is overturned. He's terrified for his legacy.

Also, Justice Kavanaugh sounds like he really, really wants a second try at his decision authorizing Kavanaugh Stops. He's now insisting that immigration enforcement should not be like EXACTLY WHAT IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT IS LIKE UNDER TRUMP'S THUGGERY.

It's becoming ever so hard to distinguish Trump's envoys from Putin's envoys.

Suppose - and this is very critical to Kavanaugh - that the imaginary mob is a left wing one not a right wing one. Because all the mobs storming US governments in my lifetime have been right wing.

Kavanaugh has spent months watching masked street thugs brutalize Latinos on TV for the crime of being Hispanic in America, watching the entire Latino population of America turning on his party, and realizing it was all directly attributable to him. I bet he’s wanted to melt into the floor.

This likely ruined Alito and Thomas’ Christmas so we’ll take this.

NEW: By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court blocks Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Chicago to assist immigration agents. A majority holds that he likely lacks authority to do so. Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

maybe it's a forgery. but if so, it's a patriotic one lol

If only [checks notes] *literally everyone* could have predicted that she was completely unqualified for this job

"Trump and his cronies will leave America’s role in the international markets that fueled our nation’s growth greatly diminished. But they are willing to do such damage to our country because they believe a more inwardly focused (and less prosperous) America will serve their autocratic goals."

British prosecutors on Tuesday charged Russell Brand with two counts of sexual assault, including one of rape.

this is insane to me. the doj had forever to look into this. now they're like liveblogging on x like they have no more information than a random person on social media

jesus christ again "Donald Trump travelled on Epstein’s private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware), including during the period we would expect to charge in a Maxwell case."

BREAKING: Bari Weiss orders future episodes of CBS's "Tracker" held, demands more reporting, is told CBS News does not produce "Tracker" and that it is a fictional TV show, fires top CBS News producers for insolence

Watch 60 Minutes 'Inside CECOT' Segment Blocked by CBS News Chief Bari Weiss www.commondreams.org/news/60-minu...

Proper summary of the entire breakdown of this moronic idiotic ship

As these Epstein files get released and reported on it is hilarious watching the elite class scurry off like cockroaches when the light is flicked on.

The Free Speech wing of the Free Speech party has made it so you have to upload journalism like it's an ISIS video

He’s gilded the entire White House, slapped his name on both the Kennedy Center and Institute for Peace, installed a new Trump Gold Card, and now proposing a new “Trump class” of naval vessels. I know we keep saying this is insane but this is seriously fucking insane.

John Phelan just re-nuclearized the surface navy by saying the Trump class will carry nukes That's utterly bonkers.

The 60 Minutes piece on the Trump Administration’s torture prison that Bari Weiss doesn’t want you to see has leaked.

It used to be that the United States would use Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty to transmit truth across the borders of repressive regimes. Now the work of American reporters, having been censored, is being smuggled across the border to reach Americans.

reminder:

Even BILL CLINTON is saying he doesn’t care if the full release of the files implicates Bill Clinton. Amazing.

The Trump administration is recalling nearly 30 ambassadors, all of whom are career diplomats. A union says there has never been such a mass recall in the history of the foreign service. Morale has been plummeting in the State Department all year. Story: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/u...

If this gets you angry, then you should know: our country is doing this to undocumented children every day & has been for years. We take toddlers, feed them dirty water, & put them in places where the lights never go out. We take teenagers and house them in crowded, too cold or too hot rooms.

The White House is now citing "national security" for everything it does. Seriously, check out these headlines. It's just the last few weeks. If you know authoritarian history, then you know how menacing this is.

as in maybe Epstein wrote it and maybe with more reporting we’ll have a better sense but as we were editing the piece it felt like we did not know enough to actually click publish right now. maybe other people know better or know more but bc this is viral atm thought I’d post a little more context

The AP reported on the existence of this letter but if you read the article their source is someone who saw that it was returned to sender. AP reported on it as though Epstein wrote it but the details are super thin and just say it was returned to sender www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...

just very hard to say with the details we have and 1 hour of analysis in the middle of the night if Epstein actually wrote this or if it was a prank/hoax at the time

After Epstein's 2019 death "prosecutors produced a seven-page memo on co-conspirators they might consider charging and followed that with an 86-page update in December ... a 13-page memo of corporate prosecutions they might pursue and a 26-page memo regarding another target prosecutors considered."

DOJ posted a bunch of Epstein documents that have real revelations…and then took down the docs. But not before journalists and others grabbed

We had a Dem Governor who fought hard to keep the Rams in STL and the GOPers in Western MO were against it. HOW’S IT FEEL NOW?

so the existence of this letter has, actually, been written about before - the question is whether it’s authentic or not because, uh “I killed myself and Trump is also a pedophile” is pretty clear if so

I just wrote an article about this and decided not to publish it yet. It is in the DOJ files (file got renamed after originally published and taken down. It’s online now). But too many unknowns about whether the letter itself is real or not. Some additional info though:
