Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

Rep. Adelita Grijalva says protecting victims in the Epstein files should be a nonpartisan issue. "It shouldn't be democrats. All of us should be beyond appalled that anyone would stand in the way of finding out who is responsible and making sure they have justice."

This little B!tch is spiraling

House Democrats released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Trump had “spent hours at my house” with one of Epstein’s victims, among other messages that suggest that the convicted sex offender believed Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

My takeaway from Epstein document dump was that Jeffrey Epstein in 2018/early 2019 was increasingly telling people he had dirt on Trump and Trump knew everything about child sex ring. To protect Trump's re-election campaign, Trump's DOJ charged Epstein in July 2019. Then Epstein committed "suicide."

It can never be unsaid

EPSTEIN: even today, after the release of the key Epstein-Maxwell emails in which Epstein says Trump knew about the "girls" but hasn't "barked" (presumably, talked), the NYT reports that the WH is intensely pressuring the House NOT to vote to release more? How much worse is what we have not seen?

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Republicans are scrambling to cover up the Epstein file, but we say anyone involved in Epstein's billion-dollar child sex trafficking ring must be brought to justice—whether Republicans, Democrats or, yes, even presidents.

Do I have this right? Dems in the House released a few damning emails. Then republicans released 23,000 pages as a squirrel? One fun exchange between Bannon and Epstein from May 2019 mentions the Mueller report. 1/

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me. I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

“would you like photos of donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen?” -Jeffrey Epstein

This explains literally everything...

Oh yeah, Trump and Tom Barrack go way back. Barrack recommended Paul Manafort as Trump's campaign manager, then Barrack was chairman for Trump's first inauguration. Yeah.

I just googled this man like 'ew who tf is this Tom Barrack guy' and the answer is the sitting, Donald Trump-appointed U.S. Ambassador to Turkey

Epstein emails suggest 1) Trump knows more than he's said; 2) Maxwell deceptive in Blanche interview; 3) Blanche was incompetent or squirrelly; 4) Johnson probably kept House closed to avoid impact on shutdown. What a tangled web! Looking forward to discussing w/ @chrislhayes.bsky.social at 8PM ET.

From Epstein to Peter Thiel

Tonight on The Briefing! @robertgarcia.bsky.social Rep. Adelita Grijalva Jess Michaels

Grijalva: That is why I will sign the discharge petition right now to release the Epstein files. Justice cannot wait another day.

ALERT: Per my teammate Shawna Mizelle in the courtroom… Judge has sentenced Abigail Shry to 27 months in prison for making racist, violent, vulgar threat against judge who was handling Trump 2020 election conspiracy case

Boy do I wish I could have a chat with all the naysayers when I posited that Epstein was a dirt factory for Putin. How many times have we asked "what does Putin have on Trump?" www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

BREAKING: Grijalva has signed the Epstein Files discharge petition. It doesn't appear that Mace or Boebert have removed their names.

It took 50 days and a whole lot of nonsense, but Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is finally in her seat. Mike Johnson didn’t stall her swearing-in by accident—he did it on purpose. Because protecting predators was apparently more urgent than serving the people.

"DO NOT REPEAT THIS INSIGHT"

Adelita Grijalva may get sworn in, but watch as a Trump sycophant withdraws a signature to protect Trump from having the horrors of his behavior in the Epstein Files becoming public. To finagle to protect a serial pedophile, you have to be a truly amoral cretin. That would be you, Nancy Mace.

We’re going to have to watch a bunch of soulless toadies with either shit-eating grins or feigned indignation lecturing us about how there are countless TOTALLY INNOCENT reasons a grown man would spend hours alone with a teenage trafficking victim. Perhaps they were doing Bible study?

Odds of Venezuela getting bombed just went up. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

while we're on the subject of shitty men let's have a big round of sarcastic applause for everyone who kept misogynist shithead larry summers in positions of power and influence for decades fuck that guy

ah! well. nevertheless,

That gaudy, grotesque place that used to be the Oval Office of which we could be proud? He's only temporarily using that space that we the people own. Let's not let him convince us otherwise. Like any bad tenant, once he’s evicted we can remove the junk left behind.

the president raped children and his entire political party continues to actively cover it up even if we can't throw him in jail for it he should resign in disgrace and so should all of them

A bunch of fucking monsters run the world

Funny. The White House acknowledges the emails were real and "leaked", but then called them a "hoax." They believe all Americans are as dumb as the people that voted for them.

Trump’s lies have become part of our vernacular.

Growing list of reasons Trump should step down: - Cover up of his involvement in notorious sex trafficking ring - Unprecedented corruption, self enrichment - Tariffs are historic, unprecedented abuse of power - Illegal desecration of most important global symbol of American democracy

It’s important to demand accountability for Trump’s sexually predatory targeting young girls whether or not we think we’ll get it in the form we want. If WE stop acting like raping and trafficking minors is a big deal, then we become complicit in normalizing it.

"Donald Trump owes his entire political career to defamation. Nevertheless, he routinely demands 10-figure settlements from media outlets who criticize him. And now his shakedown tour has gone international."

Once again, the way you know that Trump knew Epstein was trafficking HIS OWN GIRLS is it happened w/Virginia Giuffre in 2000, he told (we now know) Maxwell to stop, then Maxwell did it again w/daughter of a club member. "Mar-a-Lago" confessed all this in 2007. www.emptywheel.net/2025/11/12/t...

Well, well, well. As I predicted. It made no sense for Trump to be so enraged that a club member hired away a staff member, unless Trump knew what Epstein was up to.

Oh and by the way, we've had roughly 2M federal employees since the 1940s though our population has more than doubled.
