Trump is scrambling to save face on the Epstein files and tariffs as his own base expresses their outrage at his chaotic and harmful policies.

60 Attorneys on the Year of Chaos Inside Trump’s Justice Department Sixty former staffers describe an environment of suspicion and intimidation within the nation’s most powerful law enforcement agency.

"I got a call from the general counsel at the F.B.I. about changing exceptions to the gift rules because his boss, Kash Patel, felt like he should be able to accept more expensive gifts..."

Trump's tariffs hit the global economy Even with trade deals, the levies imposed on their goods are still well above pre-Trump norms.

There is new evidence of global pain stemming from Trump's trade policy, which single-handedly scrambled the world economy.

Our new Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit is going to put up to $800 back in the pockets of nearly one million Pennsylvanians.

These are hardworking parents and seniors who are getting crushed by rising prices because of the chaos out of DC.

Here in Pennsylvania, we’ve got their back.

⚖️The ACLU Is SUING The FDA
The @ACLU.org is making it loud and clear that they want receipts. Last week, they dropped a lawsuit on the FDA, demanding records about the agency’s review of the abobo pill, mifepristone. Shocker: the FDA is on 👻 mode.

One Year to Defend Elections Trump’s pardons of Rudy Giuliani and other election deniers are a reminder that the 2026 midterms will face an extraordinary new source of pressure: the federal government itself.

Voters must demand that candidates tell us what they will do to strengthen our democratic institutions so they cannot be assaulted again. bit.ly/3LDvVqz

LMAO -- Ted Cruz is on Fox News talking about running for president in 2028

News sources stated that 1K FBI agents were working 24 hours a day to remove any mention of 47

If they did this to protect 47, they'd likely do this to protect other predators/pedos

I have no reason to believe differently

IF the files get released, maga will believe the edited version & defend 47

Opinion | How America Used Egypt to Justify Racism and Slavery Charles Vanthournout writes about how ancient Egypt shaped slavery and liberation in the American South.

OPINION: "In the slaveholding South, ancient Egypt and its pharaohs became a way to justify slavery. For abolitionists and African Americans, biblical Egypt served as a symbol of bondage and liberation," Charles Vanthournout writes.

It’s the latest in a series of setbacks for the Trump administration’s mid-cycle gerrymandering pressure campaign, suggesting that despite early wins, the larger effort to redraw congressional lines to help Republicans hold the House might be losing steam.

Barrasso won't commit to holding a Senate vote on an Epstein files measure and says, "this is not about truth, this is about an attempt by the Democrats to make President Trump a lame duck president and I'm not gonna aid and abet them in their effort to do that."

Tell Students the Truth About American History We owe it to Americans of all ages to be honest about the country’s past, including its contradictions.

“A democracy whose citizens operate with fundamentally different understandings of the past and its implications cannot sustain itself,” @clintsmithiii.bsky.social writes:

If Trump is now suddenly in favor of releasing the Epstein Files, he could order his administration to release every single one of them right now.

Why isn’t he doing so? www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

“It’s time to bring the secrets out of the shadows.”

Please watch – then call your Congress member and tell them to vote to release ALL of the files.

MTG is a political opportunist who senses an opportunity and this opportunity could damage and possibly end maga and that’s why it’s important that Dems use her signature on the discharge petition, etc.

"We need fighters.. grit... energy"

A former federal prosecutor who quit in protest at the beginning of Trump Administration is the newly-elected city attorney in Seattle.... and tells CBS News she's ready to push back

A HUGE win for James Comey in his criminal case.

A federal judge orders the DOJ to turnover ALL OF THE GRAND JURY MATERIALS to Comey's defense team.

About to drop a new episode walking through the details of this scathing order on my YouTube channel!

60,000 private sector jobs were lost during the shutdown. That is on top of the hundreds of thousands who were furloughed.

60,000 who lost their ability to put food on the table because the GOP would rather play political games than negotiate a healthcare fix. It’s time to get back to work!

Trump Defends Tucker Carlson After Nick Fuentes Interview

If President Trump were truly committed to countering antisemitism and protecting the Jewish community, he wouldn’t defend and further normalize Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/u...

'Could bring him down': Senator says Trump was 'clearly at center of child sex ring' With a vote on releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein just days away, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said this weekend that it was clear President Donald Trump was “at the center of a child sex ring,” and that the president’s behavior over the past week made it clear that the files contained “somethin...

Harms of the Federal Funding Freeze on Science A venture capitalist and former White House science adviser discusses the impact of the Trump administration’s attempted funding freeze on the future of research and innovation.

Issue 95 – The pardon was the payoff Binance’s Changpeng Zhao earns a gold-plated pardon as other industry figures fund Trump’s $300 million ballroom

All Trump is guilty of with those obvious autopen signatures is hypocrisy. The far bigger problem with his pardons, particularly the recent one for Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, who personally enriched Trump's family while seeking clemency, is corruption. www.citationneeded.news/issue-95/

Reproductive rights was one of the Biden Administration’s signature policies. And Roe v Wade had been law for almost 50 years. The Supreme Court “interfered” with it.

Remember: An estimated 70% of congressional Republicans may financially benefit from the tax cuts in their Big Ugly Bill.

While cutting Medicaid and food stamps for millions — including many of their own constituents — these lawmakers may be enriching themselves.

Priorities.
