Monday briefing: How Trump and his allies flipped and flipped again on the Epstein files In today’s newsletter: Having once demanded full disclosure, senior Maga figures have attempted to block efforts to publish the records

So the consensus among left-of-center pundits seems to be that, once Congress has sought the release of Epstein files, Bondi will insist that, as the subject of an on-going investigation, so sorry, they can't be made public. That way, he gets credit for openness but nothing comes out.

Sound right?

BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.


MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

Incredible to think that Elon will not be indicted for this

Senator Menendez is sitting in his cell at Allenwood right now because he took a 1kg gold bar from the Egyptians, among other forms of “lobbying.”

NEW: In his first interview since his arrest for protesting outside the Chicago-area ICE facility, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social tells me he has "bruises all over my body."

Even so, he said, “the cruelty that goes on that facility … must be 100 times worse." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

At least seven faith leaders arrested at Broadview ICE facility protest (RNS) — 'I've got bruises all over my body,' the Rev. Michael Woolf, who was thrown to the ground and arrested by police, told RNS.

Spoke with Rev. Woolf this morning — his first interview post-release.

Story coming.

Clyburn called out Bessent for trying to give credit to Trump for the Biden project in his district.

They really believe we are stupid.)

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

Note: The pastor being thrown to the ground and arrested here while protesting outside an ICE facility here — who police single out — appears to be Rev. Michael Woolf, a Baptist pastor (he’s ordained by both American Baptist Churches USA and Alliance of Baptists).

AI-Generated Videos of ICE Raids Are Wildly Viral on Facebook An account is spamming horrific, dehumanizing videos of immigration enforcement because the Facebook algorithm is rewarding them for it.

Not a fan of his, but this is true

Khanna: You know, someone said to me, “Well, this backbencher from the House is calling for Schumer to step down.”

I said, “The point is the backbenchers need to come to the front.” Those of us in the back — we need to move to the front. And a new generation of leadership needs to emerge.”

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

This was coordinated by him.

He has now erased fully 10% of the term to which Grijalva was elected.

Either another 5-10 years of ACA funding or none. 1 year is the worst possible option since it gets them just past the midterms before they can destroy American healthcare.

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

100% correct. The Dem ads about Trump weren't just "orange man bad." They were: I'm focused on lowering costs while my GOP opponent is serving Trump, who is raising costs with tariffs, canceling infrastructure, etc.
