Everyone's missing potentially the most interesting thing about this order, which is the judge's finding that Halligan may have returned an indictment that was never presented to the jury

This really needs to be stressed, as it seems obvious Trump is going to let them vote to release it and then pretend his hands are tied. He’s had the power to release them all along, and still does. It’s just his excuses that are changing.

Is it bad if a sitting federal judge was (allegedly) part of a conspiracy to commit murder? It seems bad ....

I urge members of the legal profession to realize that prosecuting individuals who seek to overturn the constitutional order is not "retaliation" in any normatively significant sense.

The DOJ ordered US Marshals to the house of the pardon attorney who refused to sign off on a pardon to give Mel Gibson back his guns. Big law firms told her they supported her but did not want to be seen representing her. This is the use of government-sponsored fear to silence dissent.

There is an email in which Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos of Donald Trump and “girls in bikinis in my kitchen.”

There have been at least 154 cases in which federal district courts have issued preliminary relief against a Trump administration policy. Those rulings have come from 121 *different* judges appointed by seven presidents (including 15 appointed by Trump) sitting in 29 district courts in 10 circuits:

They lie about literally everything

“We’ve always been at war with Eastasia”

I think you do have to root for MTG here because the sooner a high-profile R actually in the government gets this treatment and survives the sooner the whole thing falls apart

Never forget that just a week ago, Ross Douthat and the NYTimes were asking if women ruined the workplace.

epstein emails released and everyone coming out as a pedophile to defend donald trump

Trump doesn’t have to call on House Republican to vote to release the file. Trump can order Bondi and Patel to release the files. Tomorrow. The question is, has he already ordered Bondi and Patel to destroy some of the files after they went through them months ago.

If he has nothing to hide he doesn’t need a House vote. He can just release everything.

Weird how many racists like to self-identify themselves as racists.

Americans really have no idea how badly things are going or much of what is actually happening outside of the increasingly sealed American unreality state. The increasingly clear collapse of collective sense making is breaking containment fully.

Members of the House should ensure that the language of the bill is tight enough to actually compel release of all the documents, because what the Oversight committee is "legally entitled to" is up to Congress, not POTUS. If Johnson tries to water it down, members should redraft the petition.

Soooooo...they've destroyed any files relating to him or his cronies, then?

Look, I know this weaponization of male academic interest is the oldest story in the book, but it’s just so, so pernicious. It’s awful to the women directly involved, but it’s also awful to *all* women in the academy, who have to live in its shadow all the time.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

"There are about a thousand of us." Yes, because the thing about girls is that they don't stay girls for very long. Which makes them disposable. And which means that men like Epstein need a huge supply.

We're ten years into these embarassing lies and I think this is the first time we've seen a Sunday morning show ready?

The Democrats called out racist shitbags and serial sex offenders. If you heard those attacks and felt they were calling *you* out personally, then that's entirely on you, champ. The rest of us white guys didn't hear that. At all.

Coercive sterilization in ICE detention. Eugenics.

ROYVAL: “.. To fight in front of them just seems like some f***ing Hunger Games-type of f***ing s***. I don’t give a f*** to fight in front of a bunch of f***ing billionaires and rich people that f***ing could give a s*** less about me. .. F*** you guys.” @si.com www.si.com/fannation/mm...

The Epstein emails have damaged Trump beyond repair, because the public has now seen the gross moral rot behind Trump's presidency and the elites who prop it up (and fawned over a convicted sex creep) Take your money out of AI and into pitchforks. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/epst...

Disgrace of the Nation

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and be criminally charged, according to critics who seized on a report revealing that zero people who were arrested in a high-profile raid were charged with a crime.

Only Colorado (11) has more regulation wins than Pens (10) at the moment.

Judge: They "repeatedly and publicly announced a playbook of initiating civil rights investigations of preeminent universities to justify cutting off federal funding, with the goal of bringing universities to their knees and forcing them to change their ideological tune" www.npr.org/2025/11/15/n...

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Unprecedentedly corrupt.

As someone who lived through the ACA’s passage, all I have to say is bahahahahshahaha *drives car directly into river*

Massie: "I would remind my Republican colleagues who are decided how to vote, Donald Trump can protect you in red districts right now by giving you an endorsement, but by 2030, he's not gonna be the president and you will have voted to protect pedophiles if you don't vote to release those files."

What fresh legal doctrine is this?

lol last night was a rerun

I'm sorry, I'm still having a hard time getting over that the owner of the NY Times is in the Epstein files thing and they haven't even acknowledged this in any reporting.

NYTimes was also aware a staff writer was a close friend of Epstein - who had been offered incriminating photos of a Presidential candidate - and chose instead to spend the next decade on totally unjustified, frankly delusional, propagandized coverage of trans people and their doctors as “predators”

Malcolm Nance said these sound like the titles of porn movies.

If you're a professor at Texas A&M, you'll need to receive written authorization from the university president before discussing this incident on campus.

Let's just enjoy the fact for a moment that Bill Clinton getting a blowjob really could bring down the government this time.

The Epstein files are going to result in a lot of illegal war crimes.

Blending family and governance

NEW: DHS invoked the “national emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rules for a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign. We found that a firm with deep ties to Kristi Noem secretly benefited from the deal.

I don’t think US taxpayers should subsidize treason against the United States

Trump is so proud of his performance, I bet he could be goaded into taking the test on live TV. That would absolutely silence all his critics.

A foreign country bribed the president with a bar of gold. Where are my Originalists at?

"It was tough to beat Apple, but the Swiss did it." said one administration official. How the Swiss convinced Trump to drop tariffs with gifts of a Rolex desk clock and a 1 kg gold bar. www.axios.com/2025/11/14/t...

Ever since the bombings began, a big question has been: Do those carrying them out fear they're being given illegal orders? The official overseeing them recently resigned with no public explanation, prompting Dems to ask if he had concluded bombings are illegal. 3/ newrepublic.com/article/2032...

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

So many vulnerable people were hurt, harassed and raped by these ghouls and now—I’m worried—it’s gonna become hehe haha lurid internet circus instead of a long overdue moral reckoning. I’m scared of who we all are becoming. That man has brought us ALL low.
