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.

Pay attention Republicans reading this post (if any are) because, according to “Jr” you are no longer Republicans/members of the GOP. You now belong to the MAGA party whether you like it or not.

Cruelty & exclusion can get attention, but they can’t solve the real problems Americans face. Now, politicians like Mamdani, Talarico, & Newsom are proving Dems can win the attention wars in a kinder way while offering real, inclusive, even moral solutions. 🎁 link www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/o...

“…younger and less terminally cautious Democrats — Zohran Mamdani in New York City, James Talarico in Texas, Gavin Newsom in California — are showing that Democrats can win the attention wars.” @jamestalarico.bsky.social

This energy! 👏🏼 “We know there are hundreds of good Americans at the FBI and DOJ who also want to see justice for Epstein's victims and survivors. To anyone who worked hard on the files and is now seeing their work being hidden by their own DOJ, there are whistleblower protections.”—Rep Garcia

i guess we should just all share the PBS FRONTLINE & PROPUBLICA documentary on CECOT youtu.be/Lku5h9xjrqc

Power hates daylight. SCOTUS bends, watchdogs starved, truth labeled a threat. Billionaires bankroll obedience while voters are told to sit down and be quiet. This isn’t random. It’s design. If democracy feels fragile, that’s because the rich and powerful keep squeezing it. #Resist

Remember this? James O'Keefe got Pam Bondi on video last May saying the FBI was processing “tens of thousands of videos” of Epstein “with little kids.” Then she told reporters “There are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn.” www.mediaite.com/politics/att...

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

Stark from the statement of a girl who travelled with Epstein for something like two years, and was serially abused by him.

Jeffrey Epstein, with an unidentified (redacted) woman, holds a large novelty cheque for $22,500 signed by…Donald Trump. It's a framed photo, an the frame says "once in a blue moon". What on earth is going on here?

See if you can do the math better than the Pedodent thinks.

Don't print lies, Forbes.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor. Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

Operation Epstein Distraction.

The Department of Justice failed to publicly release all of its files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by a Friday deadline, violating a new federal law explicitly mandating that the trove of documents be turned over for public scrutiny, Republican and Democratic lawmakers said.

Billionaires are using a loophole to avoid Medicare taxes. Closing it — and eliminating other ways around the tax for wealthy business owners — could raise more than $250 billion over 10 years for the program. (Published Dec. 2024)

NEW: Democrats threaten lawsuit as DOJ says it will miss Epstein files deadline

Speaking at a defence ministry meeting in Moscow, President Putin called European leaders ‘piglets’ trying to take revenge on Russia, accusing them of joining forces with the previous US administration in the hope of profiting from Russia’s collapse.

At least 20 people who have received clemency from President Trump so far this year were also forgiven of financial penalties totaling tens of millions of dollars. Some of these offenders owed money to real-life victims of fraud.

If we can't even identify our enemies then how can we fight them? Trump's National Security Strategy is the longest suicide note in American history www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

The Epstein file is the only thing Trump has ever taken his name off of

Quick question, where was this oil when Venezuela stole it from the United States?

Trump didn’t just know Epstein. He attended the parties repeatedly. Repeatedly. At the very least, he knew what was going on. Release the Epstein files.

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

This is a big deal, but 8% drop in Trump’s support from MAGA won’t translate into votes for Democrats— they aren’t flipping, but it does reflect a real lack of enthusiasm for Republicans. If they stay home in 2026, Democrats win.

I am sure this has nothing to do with the Epstein file release date this week....
