NEW: EXCLUSIVE: I spoke to sources at FBI and DOJ that reviewed the Epstein files. It’s worse than the photos. I’ll let you know what they said today at 3:30 PM PT / 6:30 PM ET on @meidastouch.com. Link to show: www.youtube.com/live/hEi77Ib...

Sending someone to jail for five weeks with $2 million bail over posting a meme is free speech, right? @timmiller.bsky.social on the insane case of Larry Bushart:

We have TWO post-doctoral fellowships in the Biodiversity Centre at UBC next year! Am happy to chat if you might want to be hosted in my lab. biodiversity.ubc.ca/training-and... Deadline January 15th!

The cruelty is the point.

FBI: "We didn't zip tie children."

REPORTER: "Here's a photo of a zip tied 14 year old."

FBI" "OK, we didn't zip tie YOUNG children."

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Breaking on MSNBC:

Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

'Washington Post' editorials omit a key disclosure: Bezos' financial ties Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

"Not only is Donald Trump not here, not negotiating, Mike Johnson has now shut down the House for 39 consecutive days. There's no one to negotiate with. Across town, Trump is building a $300 million ballroom while he is set to let Americans starve."

"For every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There's no way we can meet that gap. There's no way we can replace every single one of those meals. It is not sustainable for food banks to fill this gap. We were not built to do this."

Let’s be clear: the administration is choosing not to tap emergency funds available to provide critical food assistance for families in need.

Their own shutdown plan — which they recently deleted — confirmed they could. Read it for yourself:

Remember when Democrats cut childhood hunger in half, and then Republicans were like, "F— those kids. Billionaires need permanent tax cuts!"

And we were all like, "Wow, that's just evil."

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

It's been 32 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Pentagon insiders say Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has lost trust of senior military commanders Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is facing significant criticism from senior military officers and Pentagon officials who describe his leadership as unprofessional and damaging to the armed forces.
