Khanna on the House holding Pam Bondi in contempt: "It's coming from Republicans too. If it was just me out there or Robert Garcia, it would be seen as 'this is just a Democratic thing.' This is gonna be Thomas Massie leading it. There are a few Republicans who are on board with it."

You know why.

The corruption is absolutely staggering. One big money donor after another receiving direct benefits in return. Trump didn’t drain any swamps, he created a giant sewer to roll around in daily. Great reporting. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

New in PN: The regime's new Epstein coverup will backfire "Trump believes stonewalling will protect him from damage. But he’s a fool. He *has* sustained substantial damage and more is coming. It's not justice. It will, though, weaken a regime of fascists. And while that’s not enough, it matters."

Not Joe Biden’s fault.

Don’t forget. Biden’s DoJ was investigating uncharged third parties in the Epstein files up until the last minute. Trump shut down the investigation, sent the files to DC, & fired the prosecutors. They went through them, redacted Trump’s name, then elected not to release them and closed the matter.

The Epstein Transparency Act is the law. Clearly, this DOJ is willing to defy it to protect Donald Trump and the rich and powerful. The survivors deserve truth and justice. Release the files.

Bari Weiss is destroying CBS.

This statement is a sick joke. US foreign policy is a sick joke, being implemented by enemies of truth, freedom & democracy - people driven by personal greed & the opportunity to exploit the suffering of others by trading US power and prestige for death & business opportunities.

Jeff Landry is a moron with zero foreign policy experience, knowledge, or qualifications. ZERO. Nothing. More insanity.

Indoctrinated during paid junkets by organizations like ALEC, NH Republicans lawmakers choose profitability for conservative out-of-state fossil fuel and chemical companies over affordability and safety for consumers. Every damn time… #NHPolitics indepthnh.org/2025/12/20/d...

They are killing innocent people in ICE custody. Now we are in Germany. Someone do something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Nobody should watch CBS until this airs. Which may be never after Trump threatened them again. He has the ownership and management he wanted who will now obviously do his bidding. Erika Kirk last week, now this. The MAGA News Network.

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

Hilarious. The second any Republican publicly disagrees with Trump about something he attacks them & goes after them. Has primaried dozens. Calls Greene a traitor. Attacked Indiana Repubs. This entire movement is viciously vindictive against anyone who dares to step out of line.

Oof ... “I’m not saying you have to be a Christian to be an American,” Vance said. “I’m saying something simple and truer: Christianity is America’s dream.” www.cnn.com/2025/12/21/p...

Farmer: As soon as Maurene Comey was fired, I had a sinking feeling in my stomach about what they were up to, because I believed it was not in the best interest of survivors. The sequence of events—Maurene being fired and then Blanche meeting with Maxwell…

Trump pardoned these criminals. Trump is soft on crime.

I'm 100% for Congress using inherent contempt. I'm pretty sure the Supreme Court will require legislation, which is reason 4839505 to take back both chambers of Congress in 2026. Back in 2021, @reptedlieu.bsky.social introduced a bill. Let's do it again. lieu.house.gov/media-center...

They are all complicit in this coverup.

WOW. They're not going to air their special on CECOT. I'd like to know who made this decision, and whether the federal government had a hand in it.

It’s a tradition. Every four years, right before Christmas, Rafael Cruz announces that he’s waddling for president again.

So. 🤦‍♂️ I get it. Make a statement and count on people having zero critical thinking skills. Because this? Is BS. "The first group knew nothing and cut Epstein off before his crimes came to light" Yeah, next...

Read "At Turning Point’s annual gathering, young conservatives fret about the future" on SmartNews: l.smartnews.com/p-6OrP2G88/p... They are being groomed for a civil war against their neighbors and communities now. Someone has to be held accountable and it's not T-RR.

WELKER: Why was Ghislaine Maxwell moved just days after you interviewed her? BLANCHE: That's a Bureau of Prisons security issue that I will not talk about WELKER: Did you have anything to do with it? BLANCHE: I am responsible for the Bureau of Prisons, so every decision they make lands on my desk

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head. That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

BRENNAN: What are you going to do to force DOJ to comply? MASSIE: The quickest way and most expeditious way to get justice for these victims is to bring inherent contempt against Pam Bondi. That doesn't require going through the courts. We're drafting that right now.

Don’t abuse drugs.

Don't threaten us with a good time!

Undeclared act of war.

Garcia: If you are a whistleblower at the FBI, at the DOJ, if you worked hard to put the files together and are seeing your work now being hidden by your own DOJ, contact the oversight committee. We have whistleblower protections.

Miller hates the 5th amendment right to due process and has contempt for the 6th amendment right to jury trial because he prefers authoritarianism.

Check out my latest video, “Trump’s Top 3 Lies of 2025”. You’ll thank yourself! youtu.be/4LPUqBrgpfw?...

“None of this is surprising. Not DOJ’s failure to comply..Not DOJ’s failure to release material that would give survivors more insight into the crimes committed against them & who was responsible. That’s important..because they’ve had to fight to be believed." open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

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

Trump's appointees compete for "Most Clueless in U.S. History," ignoring the need for balanced government to prevent authoritarianism. Who knew democracy had a 'Dummies Only' sign? 😲

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

If Joe had won.

SNL's Trump shows off the Epstein files.
