This is horrifying.

Tell Congress Right Now: Pass the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act

This is amazing! A great dog and kitty timeline cleanse 🥰

Last week at the United Nations in Geneva, the US boycotted its human rights review that all U.N. member states participate in every 4.5 years. By evading its U.N. human rights review, America ignores what the world sees clearly: Texans suffering under abortion bans.

WATCH: @raskin.house.gov explains the deal that would allow eight GOP senators lucrative lawsuits over phone record subpoenas: "It's certainly the most corrupt provision authorizing financial self-dealing and plunder of the public passed by Congress in this century."

My question here: “Trump is a self-confessed predator, an adjudicated rapist, more than two dozen women have accused him of sexual assault. Does it make any logical sense he had nothing to do with or know about Epstein’s sex trafficking or pedophilia?” www.americaamerica.news/p/the-epstei...

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com made an important point in the opening of his show tonight. Trump desperately needs a distraction for the attention on his involvement with Epstein. Will he invade one of the countries he's threatened militarily to cause this distraction?

The End Of The Shutdown Turns Into A Trump Epstein Cover-Up GOP Nightmare open.substack.com/pub/politicu...

Today's daily dog is the intelligent, friendly Welsh Terrier. He is known for his energetic and independent "terrier fire", originally bred in the 1700s in Wales for hunting rodents, badgers, and foxes. These high-energy pups are affectionate with the whole family, including kids and other dogs.

Kash Patel used the FBI jet for personal trips to a wrestling event, his girlfriend’s home, and a ranch in Texas despite prior WH instructions to limit nonessential travel. Patel called his critics “clickbait haters” and said “this FBI has never been stronger.” www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

The Trump administration is preparing a five-year offshore drilling plan that would open the California coast to new oil leases for the first time in decades. Gov. Newsom said "not over our dead body." Gift article, no paywall. wapo.st/4hTFQEo

The DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel issued a classified opinion saying U.S. personnel involved in Trump’s boat strikes in Latin America wouldn’t face future prosecution regardless of the legality of the operations. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The Trump administration declared the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s funding structure illegal, blocking it from drawing new money from the Federal Reserve and putting the agency on course to run out of cash in early 2026. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

33% of Americans approve of Trump’s management of the government, down from 43% in March. Trump's overall job rating dropped to 36%. apnews.com/article/trum...

The October jobs and inflation reports are “likely never being released” supposedly because the government shutdown prevented the Bureau of Labor Statistics from collecting key data. It's a good thing we have other sources for the information. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/12/w...

Why is Trump trying so desperately to make it all go away? This is not how an innocent man acts. The truth must come out. @markjacob.bsky.social and I discuss this appalling case. www.americaamerica.news/p/the-epstei...

Sure doesn't sound like the actions of an innocent man.

Good news; Elaine Luria launches bid for her former Virginia congressional seat. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

A federal judge has ordered the release of hundreds of people who were arrested over the last few months in the Chicago area amid the Trump administration’s immigration raids across the city. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If they view signing the discharge petition as a 'hostile act toward the administration,' it certainly sounds like an admission of guilt. If Trump were innocent, he would have pushed for the release of the Epstein files to clear his name.

I was wrong. Apparently after Trump called Boebert, then officials from his administration, including Pam Bondi & Kash Patel, called her to the WH to discuss the Epstein petition, she became more convinced there is a conspiracy for cover up. Hope she sticks to it. www.rawstory.com/lauren-boebe...

Adelita Grijalva has finally been sworn in. Listening to her speech now.💙

Important to remember!!! 👇👇

Much worse, I imagine.

@sykescharlie.bsky.social focuses on the growing Epstein scandal and newly released emails suggesting Trump was aware of Epstein’s conduct and that release of the Epstein Files is a threat to Trump. Fuentes followers infest Congressional staff, and more. charliesykes.substack.com/p/the-epstei...

Meanwhile, Trump is meeting with House Democrats in the situation room (according to Leavitt); a secure room used for intimidation?

You can smell the fear on Trump.

Matt Lewis and @sykescharlie.bsky.social discuss the Democrats' blunder in ending the government shutdown, surrendering leverage by prioritizing an end to the shutdown over maximizing political gains from the situation, especially around health care costs. charliesykes.substack.com/p/lewis-and-...

With One Answer, Karoline Leavitt Made Trump's Epstein Problem Much Worse open.substack.com/pub/politicu...

So Leavitt is saying Trump is using the secure situation room, the purpose of which is for the president and senior national security staff monitor and respond to emergencies, to hold his private meetings with GOP reps to intimidate them into not voting to release the Epstein files.

Trump sent men to torture in El Salvador, report confirms www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

@sykescharlie.bsky.social criticizes Democrats' premature surrender to end the shutdown. Reopening the government without securing demanded concessions not only rewards Trump's tactics and authoritarianism but now ensures more of the same in the future. charliesykes.substack.com/p/no-democra...

Of course she'll buckle; she's not exactly known for her intestinal fortitude.

Once again, the Trump administration and GOP leaders are trying to kill us.

@sykescharlie.bsky.social and Adam Kinzinger discuss his post-Congress experiences and documentary "The Last Republican," and explore election results, roles of GOP leaders in the rise of MAGA, shifts in the Hispanic electorate, & SCOTUS facilitating Trump. charliesykes.substack.com/p/kinzinger-...

And meanwhile, Trump is still claiming we now have the best economy ever, that inflation is down—and he doesn't want to hear about affordability.

This is the story that Donald Trump cannot shake off. His distractions have failed to distract. His cover-ups keep cracking. And now the whole sordid mess is coming for him with the relentless inevitability of Nemesis. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

EPSTEIN BREAKING NEWS: importantly, emails written in 2011, before Trump was president, and between close confidants, with no known reason to lie to each other about Trump. It explains why Trump has done everything NOT to release the material. If it were not damning, you would want its release.

After blocking a female American hero from a promotion, then pushing her out of the service, evil POS Pete Hegseth in a speech blasted females he doesn’t want his son serving alongside. What a misogynistic ass. www.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

I don't give a rat's patootie about Kim Kardashian, but this is too funny not to share.😁

Exactly.

Trump went on Fox News and said we don't have talented people in America. This pissed off even MAGA. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/wha...
