(Another way of saying, he'll probably skate free.)

A black-and-white photo of Trump & Epstein in suits standing close together at what appears to be a party, with Trump holding two children in front of him while the Epstein holds a drink.

NPR reported this morning that, based on their review of the #Epstein emails released yesterday, Trump’s name appeared more than 1,000 times in the document—

"I have met some very bad people, none as bad as #Trump. Not one decent cell in his body." - Jeffrey Epstein

Brilliant! That's how I felt in 1978, just graduated from college as a hippie, but #NewWaveCurious. It still moves me.

Jeffrey Epstein emails: Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and more The newly released Epstein documents show the late sex offender called Trump's business practices "dirty" and exchanged emails with Andrew about the allegations against him.

#ProveANegative?? “These emails prove absolutely nothing other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters.

“It’s fair to say that invoking one’s rights not to turn over evidence is stronger than trying to have the evidence suppressed after the fact.” You do you, but I'm going to trust @aclu.org before I trust any police department.

@repdangoldman.bsky.social is the best. We need more members of Congress like him.
👏👏👏

“I don’t think that’s appropriate at all.”

REPUBLICAN @RepGregSteube opposed the funding bill because @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn and others snuck in a provision to hand themselves millions of taxpayer dollars. #MarshaMoneyGrab 💰

Filing a motion to intervene in an *existing* lawsuit is *not* the same as filing a new lawsuit. @democracydocket.com's headline gets it right. This one from AP is misleading.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

The America First guy has brought in 566 foreign workers during his 5 years in office to work at his companies instead of hiring Americans. And counting.

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

No legal thing is ever finished when you have unlimited money. But dismissal, if it comes, would be a powerful signal.

It's the little things that show how much you care.

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

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."

(1) Some people really believe this is a meaningful distinction, and
(2) There is very little legal distinction. Below the age of consent, it's rape.

Never has there been a better use case for the hot dog guy meme

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Blanche didn’t ask Maxwell a single question about any of these emails. Then he moved her to Club Fed where she is served individual meals and has a puppy and numerous other special privileges while she prepares her clemency petition. WHY?

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

'Good fire' cultural burns return in Yolo County to help California slow wildfires As California's fires get increasingly destructive, tribal members are sharing the benefits Leok Po, or "good fire" in the Wintun language.

"This kind of cultural burning is something that tribes in California have done for millennia."

Now that's how it's done. Congratulations, Adelita

In L.A., federal prosecutors are charging more protesters. A surprising number of cases are falling apart. Some former federal prosecutors say the discrepancies in how the Trump administration is describing protest behavior may create a credibility problem for current prosecutors.

"...a fifth of those cases have been dismissed or resulted in acquittals in what some former federal prosecutors and free speech advocates say is a rare rebuke of the U.S. attorney’s office’s mission and credibility."

High-profile Jan. 6 defendant facing charges of kidnapping and sexually assaulting woman John Banuelos' case was unique among Capitol riot prosecutions because he was the only defendant accused of pulling and firing a gun while on Capitol grounds.

Only the best people.

US ethics officials removed for inquiring into improper access of mortgage files Fannie Mae officers were investigating whether Trump ally inappropriately accessed mortgage details of Letitia James, Adam Schiff and others

"Ethics officials at Fannie Mae were removed from their jobs as they investigated whether a top Trump ally improperly accessed mortgage documents of Letitia James, the New York attorney general, and other Democratic officials."

Nancy Mace @NancyMace As a survivor I find it deeply offensive that DEMOCRATS would use Epstein victims to bury headlines about the vote to reopen the government today. Today of all days. WTH is wrong with you people. You just keep reminding women and survivors you don't support us. 10:33 AM • 11/12/25

From her post it sounds like Nancy Mace is creating a weak pretense to remove her signature from the discharge petition. If so, it’s more proof that she’s a performative clown with no real conviction.

Trump administration planning to allow oil and gas drilling off California coast Plan, which Gavin Newsom, the governor, has said would be ‘dead on arrival’, will allow six lease sales from 2027 to 2030

“Offshore drilling is highly unpopular across the country and will increase the likelihood of yet another destructive oil spill off our coasts.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump demands a billion from The Beeb Luckily the dollar is down against the pound.

"Donald Trump owes his entire political career to defamation. Nevertheless, he routinely demands 10-figure settlements from media outlets who criticize him. And now his shakedown tour has gone international."

Could be too early but 95% is a large number.
