The video version of this is behind a paywall BUT the transcript is free for anyone to read. I went through the version that aired on CBS and the full 40 minutes that was included online and show exactly what was cut and what wasn’t. open.substack.com/pub/decoding...

I am seeking the appointment of a Special Master to assist in getting the DOJ to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. It's time that the lawyers in the Trump Regime actually follow the law.

He should be in prison for murder

I couldn’t agree more with what Julie K. Brown is saying here. Michael Tracey’s misconduct is not funny. I understand why people mock him, but it would be nice to see more of our media peers actually seriously condemn his treatment of women.

I definitely prefer Zelensky to the corrupt fascist felon in the White House. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/o...

Most Memorable Quotes in Presidential History:

President Donald Trump called on Walt Disney Co.’s ABC to immediately fire late night host Jimmy Kimmel after what he called a “despicable call to violence” on an April 23 broadcast.  Listen to that and the latest stories on Bloomberg News Now.

Trump is threatening to hand the Falklands to Argentina. This isn't about territory, this is about sending a message because the UK didn't back him on Iran. I break down this and more, in my Weekend Update on Substack: www.adamkinzinger.com/p/weekend-vi...

These days I think a lot about artist George Grosz, who barely escaped from Germany to the US in 1930s as the Nazis rose to power. His scathing critiques of the rise of a fascist society put him at real risk of retribution. This is his "A Little Child Shall Lead Them (Family)" from 1932

Trump and the GOP are blatantly destroying America.

More corruption. BOYCOTT CBS, PARAMOUNT AND WARNER

Roberts is the leader of this corruption. CORRUPT FASCIST SCOTUS.

😆

Last week, acting AG Todd Blanche claimed the DOJ has released “everything” related to the Epstein files. But that’s not what the evidence shows. Millions of documents remain unreleased. The claim that “nothing is left” doesn’t add up.

Unconscionable.

PURE EVIL

More misogyny from Hegseth the Hateful.

I agree - Musk and his hateful, racist, misogynist tech bros are PURE EVIL who have murdered hundreds of thousands. They must be held accountable for their evil.

Elon Musk and his merry band of eugenicist broccoli haired and finance bro acolytes are doing exactly what they want: cutting off the support system that allowed vulnerable, poor, sick, disabled, brown and Black people to eke out an existence--they WANT this outcome. He tells you this openly on X.

Trump is proud of his corruption. They are all complicitly corrupt and proud of it.

Trump and Hegseth’s shameful war on the free press has taken another head. Another loss for freedom and democracy. And a critical one to/for our troops and vets.

While the administration has simultaneously ramped up approvals for nuclear startups.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

A terrific sign for business confidence is when "not wiping civilizations off the map" counts as good news. Low bar. Somehow still doing limbo under it.

Trump's Justice Department has identified 384 foreign-born Americans whose citizenship it wants to revoke, part of a push to increase denaturalizations by assigning cases to prosecutors in dozens of US attorney’s offices. @londonoe.bsky.social @haleaziz.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/04/23/u...

They aren't giving away their wealth, but they are pumping it into our elections. The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the super-rich control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

While the other guys are debating gas and mileage taxes, I'm the only Democrat in this race who has proposed a tax cut for working people. #CAGovDebate

These are Elon Musk’s texts to Larry Ellison on April 20, 2022. Anyone still using Twitter is complicit and they should be ashamed.

This does not sound good

See how this works?

GOP corruption

NEW from me: According to USAID whistleblower Nicholas Enrich, the DOGE takeover was even worse than we knew, rife with conflict between political appointees who wanted an orderly "drawdown" and a DOGE team that wanted to flip the kill switch. @wired.com www.wired.com/story/usaid-...

Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats.  Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.

This is a great title for a book: www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

This is pure harassment by a racist Trump & DOJ

This really is a great title.

When Donald Trump gave Live Nation-Ticketmaster the green light to keep overcharging fans, guess who stepped up? State Attorneys General. Jurors. Everyday people who are tired of getting scammed by giant companies. This is how we win.

Warsh SHOULD NOT be confirmed. Warsh is connected to the Lauder family who want Trump to take Greenland. Warsh is connected to Epstein. Warsh refuses to say that Trump lost the 2020 election. Warsh would be an absolute Trump toadie... Warsh SHOULD NOT be confirmed.

The disgraced former Border Patrol enforcer is spending his retirement amplifying praise from neo-Nazis for his violent immigration crackdowns.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has rebuked her colleagues in a scathing solo dissent, claiming that she “cannot fathom” the majority’s decision.

Hegseth's outrageous financial adventure is nothing we'd expect from a person of even average intelligence...but stupidity changes that calculus, and being desperate changes it more. Being stupid, desperate, and drunk would make an insider trade look maximally plausible. trib.al/LksFJtD

This is my shocked face.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday she would demand explanations after four U.S. and Mexican officials died in an accident over the weekend, adding she was unaware of collaboration between the U.S. and the local government in northern Chihuahua. https://to.pbs.org/3OiMzO1

As Trump's war on Iran continues, reminder that his own son-in-law Jared Kushner — who is leading negotiations with Iran — stands to profit from lucrative contracts with its regional rivals. War gives dictators like Trump (and his family) more power and more wealth.

"I don’t think it’s too late for the truth to come out." Rachel Benavidez, one of 10 women who say they were groomed or assaulted at Jeffrey Epstein’s New Mexico compound, broke her silence Monday for the first time since the Justice Department (DOJ) released Epstein files in January.
