🚨🚨 SCOOP @ms.now : The Department of Veteran Affairs has quietly implemented its abortion ban following a DOJ memo issued last week. This will affect 9 million veterans and their dependents, and has been a long time coming: It was outlined in Project 2025. Read/share 👇

Let’s talk about something not many people are chatting about and what’s actually happening right now. You might wonder why Imran Ahmed and the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) suddenly became targets of the U.S. government. The honest answer is that their research hit where it hurt.

Relatedly, we obtained an unpublished history of Stephen Miller's ancestors' immigration to the US, written by his grandmother. People like them were attacked in terms very similar to the ones Miller and MAGA use about today's immigrants: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

New in PN: Trumpers are *still* scheming to overturn the 2020 election "Trump’s conspiracy theories, threats, & endless lawsuits aren’t simply about proving non-existent fraud in 2020. They’re part of an *actual* sprawling plan to sow doubt in future elections — specifically, ones Republicans lose"

Perhaps the guy who doubled his net worth by raking in billions via crypto dinners could put up some of his own cash instead of scamming your grandparents out of $2,500 during the holidays.

Apparently Paramount is opening a finance hub in Nashville. Is there anyone in my network that works at Paramount/Skydance because there are several jobs I am qualified for. I have five years of both AP and purchasing experience in SAP.

KPop Demon Hunters Christmas for mommy! Just need Mira and Zoey! (my bday is February 19th, 😉)

Remember when Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump’s lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, wrote an op-ed trying to justify having sex with kids? Seems relevant now.

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

look at how little effort it takes for someone on the conservative grievance circuit to destroy a life millions of college kids have half assed an assignment at the last minute, you eat the F and move on but the effort to push trans people out of public life will use whatever it can get

🤔 🤔 🤔

It’s interesting that the administration wants you to know that Bari Weiss is in league with them.

Epstein to Larry Nassar in 2019: "Our president [Trump] also shares our love of young nubile girls"

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

“Girls Play Dead” is a “riveting, heartrending analysis of what sexual assault does to women,” Sophie Gilbert writes:

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

New hair, who dis?

Folks, you can’t have Christian Nationalism without the antisemitism. It’s a central tenet of the ideology. The fact some of these Jewish Heritage folks are just realizing this is wild to me.

Looking like Christmas over here 🎄

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was. You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense

What is striking here, of course, is that no one was apologizing for being white at any point, outside of some very unusual academic hothouse environments. What the experience as 'apologizing for being white' is actually just 'accommodating non-white people living as full citizens and equals.'

“It’s ok to be white” was an online slogan used by overt white supremacist groups just a few years ago. Now it’s being used on stage in front of cameras by the vice president of the United States.

Handwaving away your party’s embrace of antisemitic conspiracy theories by saying “at least we’re not controlled by George Soros” is the most ridiculously quiet-part-loud thing I’ve ever seen.

Rand Paul: "All these designations are steps towards war -- calling drug runners terrorists, saying, 'Oh, if they have a designation'-- Well, how'd they get it? We gave it to them. Why is the former president of Honduras released? So some narcoterrorists are okay & others we're going to blow up"

BLANCHE: What President Trump is saying is not that the Epstein files are a hoax. It's this game that Democrats have been playing for months around them that is a complete and total hoax. WELKER: Some Republicans are pushing for their release too, to be clear BLANCHE: Well, that's different

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.

HASSETT: If the Supreme Court doesn't find with us, refunds would go to whoever cut the check for the tariff BRENNAN: Doesn't the administration claim it was the country that paid that? HASSETT: Uhh --

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer. Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump. Now, it’s gone.

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.

This Epstein files "release" is the most disgusting cover up in American history

🚨 "The Justice Department redacted the names and identifiers of victims. Fox News Digital has learned that the same redaction standards were applied to politically exposed individuals and government officials. " h/t @kleinmatic.bsky.social

The Epstein Files, everybody!

Here's the reality: he never stopped. Even when he was posting anti-Trump screeds on Twitter, he was cutting multi-million dollar checks to the GOP campaign committees and MAGA, Inc. Now he's diving back in. If we want to save US democracy, we have to stop Elon. #TeslaTakedown qz.com/elon-musk-sa...

We really need to flop this so hard

Epstein file release day. We’ll see what’s actually released.

Delete TikTok if you haven’t already

I think it’s now safe to announce that I advanced to the second round in Antigravity Academy’s “screenwriters camp” with my pitch for THE OPEN AIR. I am so truly humbled, this is an incredible opportunity 🙏🏻 Wish me luck in round 2!

My god Republicans have fumbled this entire presidency so badly. They could have been professionals, they could have tried to do some good. Instead they threw their entire party behind a horrible person out of pettiness and have destroyed any credibility they had left.

Trump’s primetime diatribe against immigrants is straight up unvarnished Nazi stuff

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

My MILF cover of all your favorite 90s hits, coming this winter 🤣

he was good at his job, his job was explicitly to destroy things so they'd be acquired and shareholders would make a bunch of money this isn't an incompetent getting a payday, it's the guy who planned the heist getting the biggest cut

This is getting lost in the news cycle, because everyone moved on from the Jimmy Kimmel story. But this is bad. As you could see in videos of Carr threatening Kimmel, he clearly relishes the idea of being a fascist henchman. He cannot wait to censor more people. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/t...

ROSEN: Will you commit to opening an investigation into Fox News for deceptively editing a Trump interview to make him look good during a presidential campaign? CARR: No

BREAKING MS NOW: FBI deputy director Dan Bongino has quietly told confidants he plans to formally leave his job early in the new year and will not be returning to headquarters to work this month, according to eight people briefed on his account. www.ms.now/news/bongino...
