I think it's fascinating how Epstein and Trump are being covered over here in the UK vs US. The allegations about the 13 yrs old and her interviews are being talked about openly on the news here..

Trump asks Supreme Court to overturn E. Jean Carroll civil verdict The president asked the high court to toss a $5 million judgment against him.

JUST IN: SCOTUS again postpones consideration of Trump bid to overturn $5 million verdict E. Jean Carroll won for sexual abuse/defamation. Trump petition was set for justices' private conference tomorrow but, again, scratched. No reason given. Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Emergency protest happening now outside Columbia University after ICE agents used a “bogus missing persons flyer for a 5-year old girl” to gain access to a school-owned residence to detain a student.

That student posted to her instagram this morning: “DHS illegally arrested me. Please help.”

I would walk out. But that's me.

NEW: An advisor to the Clinton’s just came to the press cams and said today’s deposition has been paused after Rep. Lauren Boebert sent an unauthorized photo of Secretary Clinton to conservative influencer Benny Johnson.

Kristi Noem just disclosed damaging information.

ICE wrongfully arrested 261 DACA recipients… and deported 86.

She’s using her typical “worst of the worst” defense.

We’re not buying it.

Judge: IRS broke law ‘approximately 42,695 times’ in giving DHS data A court on Thursday issued an opinion on a data-sharing agreement between the taxpayer agency and federal immigration authorities.

Breaking news: A federal judge found that the IRS violated federal law “approximately 42,695 times” when it shared confidential taxpayer addresses with immigration enforcement officials last summer.

Consumption's back on the menu, boys!

BREAKING: Trump-Noem DHS admits to wrongfully arresting 261 DACA recipients, 86 of whom were deported, since Trump’s second term started, per disclosure to Congress.

Aghayeva, who is from Azerbaijan, is an undergraduate studying neuroscience and political science who came to the United States on a visa 2016, according to her habeas corpus petition requesting a federal judge to order her release on Tuesday morning.

On Tuesday, President Trump claimed the U.S. economy is “roaring like never before.”

Here’s the reality: 2025 was the worst year for job creation in DECADES. The U.S. lost 108,000 manufacturing jobs last year as the president slashed investments in clean energy projects.

‘They can't lose a single vote’: Republicans say a razor-thin majority has made them ‘untouchable’ A recent scandal involving Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, is testing a blunt dynamic with House Republicans: They can get away with just about anything — and leaders won’t call on them to resign.

Johnson can’t maintain his House majority unless he keeps “one person accused of domestic abuse… and another guy accused of massive sexual harassment… If that’s not a statement about the 119th Congress under Mike Johnson’s leadership, I don’t know what is.” www.ms.now/news/republi...

"Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member, Members of the Committee... as a former Senator, I have respect for legislative oversight and I expect its exercise, as do the American people, to be principled and fearless in pursuit of truth and accountability. As we all know, however, too often Congressional investigations are partisan political theater, which is an abdication of duty and an insult to the American people. The Committee justified its subpoena to me based on its assumption that I have information regarding the investigations into the criminal activities of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Let me be as clear as I can. I do not. As I stated in my sworn declaration on January 13, I had no idea about their criminal activities. I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein. I never flew on his plane or visited his island, homes or offices. I have nothing to add to that. Like every decent person, I have been horrified by what we have learned about their crimes. It's unfathomable that Mr. Epstein initially got a slap on the wrist in 2008, which allowed him to continue his predatory practices for another decade. Mr. Chairman, your investigation is supposed to be assessing the federal government's handling of the investigations and prosecutions of Epstein and his crimes. You subpoenaed eight law enforcement officials, all of whom ran the Department of Justice or directed the FBI when Epstein's crimes were investigated and prosecuted. Of those eight, only one appeared before the Committee. Five of the six former attorneys general were allowed to submit brief statements stating they had no information to provide. You have held zero public hearings, refused to allow the media to attend them, including today, despite espousing the need for transparency on dozens of occasions. You have made little effort to call the people who show up most prominently in the Epstein files. And when you did, not a single Republican Member showed up for Les Wexner's deposition. This institutio…

as the public who also want to get to the bottom of this matter. My heart breaks for the survivors. And I am furious on their behalf. I have spent my life advocating for women and girls. I have worked hard to stop the terrible abuses so many women and girls face here and around the world, including human trafficking, forced labor, and sexual slavery. For too long, these have been largely invisible crimes or not treated as crimes at all. But the survivors are real and they are entitled to better. In Southeast Asia, I met girls as young as twelve years old who were forced into prostitution and raped repeatedly. Some were dying of AIDS. In Eastern Europe, I met mothers who told me how they lost daughters to trafficking and did not know where to turn. In settings around the world, I met survivors trying to rebuild their lives and help rescue others - with little support from people in power, who too often turned a blind eye and a cold shoulder. If you are new to this issue, let me tell you: Jeffrey Epstein was a heinous individual, but he's far from alone. This is not a one-off tabloid sensation or a political scandal. It's a global scourge with an unimaginable human toll. My work combatting sex trafficking goes back to my days as First Lady. I worked to pass the first federal legislation against trafficking and was proud that my husband signed the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, which increased support for survivors and gave prosecutors better tools for going after traffickers. As Secretary of State, I appointed a former federal prosecutor, Lou CdeBaca, to ramp up our global antitrafficking efforts. I oversaw nearly 170 anti-trafficking programs in 70 nations and directly pressed foreign leaders to crack down on trafficking networks in their countries. Every year we published a global report to shine a light on abuses. The findings of those reports triggered sanctions on countries failing to make progress, so they became a powerful diplomatic tool to drive concrete…

Infuriatingly, the Trump Administration gutted the Trafficking in Persons Office at the State Department, cutting more than 70 percent of the career civil and foreign service experts who worked so hard to prevent trafficking crimes. The annual trafficking report, required by law, was delayed for months. The message from the Trump Administration to the American people and the world could not be clearer: combatting human trafficking is no longer an American priority under the Trump White House. That is a tragedy. It's a scandal. It deserves vigorous investigation and oversight. A committee endeavoring to stopping human trafficking would seek to understand what specific steps are needed to fix a system that allowed Epstein to get away with his crimes in 2008. A committee run by elected officials with a commitment to transparency would ensure the full release of all the files. It would ensure that the lawful redactions of those files protected the victims and survivors, not powerful men and political allies. It would get to the bottom of reports that DOJ withheld FBI interviews in which a survivor accuses President Trump of heinous crimes. It would subpoena anyone who asked on which night there would be the "wildest party" on Epstein's island. It would demand testimony from prosecutors in Florida and New York about why they gave Epstein a sweetheart deal and chose not to pursue others who may have been implicated. It would demand that Secretary Rubio and Attorney General Bondi testify about why this administration is abandoning survivors and playing into the hands of traffickers. It would seek out officers on the front lines of this fight and ask them what support they need. It would put forth legislation to provide more resources and force this administration to act. But that's not happening.

Instead, you have compelled me to testify, fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist your investigation, in order to distract attention from President Trump's actions and to cover them up despite legitimate calls for answers. If this Committee is serious about learning the truth about Epstein's trafficking crimes, it would not rely on press gaggles to get answers from our current president on his involvement; it would ask him directly under oath about the tens of thousands of times he shows up in the Epstein files. If the majority was serious, it would not waste time on fishing expeditions. There is too much that needs to be done. What is being held back? Who is being protected? And why the cover-up? My challenge to you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Committee, is the same challenge I put to myself throughout my long service to this nation. How to be worthy of the trust the American people have given you. They expect statesmanship, not gamesmanship. Leading, not grandstanding. They expect you to use your power to get to the truth and to do more to help survivors of Epstein's crimes as well as the millions more who are victims of sex trafficking."

Here is Hillary Clinton’s opening statement to House Oversight on Epstein.

Clinton says she does not recall ever encountering Epstein and says she knew nothing about his crimes.

She also says that Trump should testify under oath and criticizes the committee for not holding any public hearings.

Democracy is dying in America.

ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.

We need real leaders - not career politicians.

Rep. Walkinshaw: “We had the SOTU this week, and President Trump spoke for two hours and refused to even acknowledge the courageous survivors of Epstein's crimes who were in the chamber…His AG refuses to even meet with the survivors.”

How America Chose Not to Hold the Powerful to Account Our national project of elite impunity

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Rep. Ansari: “It is abundantly clear that this is the most egregious cover-up in American history…The DOJ…as they refuse to release the full and unredacted files have withheld fifty pages of allegations against President Trump.”

Federal courthouse in Nashville

HAPPENING NOW: Good morning from the federal courthouse in Nashville, Tennessee.

A federal judge is set to preside over an evidentiary hearing on whether the United States government is vindictively prosecuting Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

He said that so confidently, as if that were enough.

If you think BIRTH CONTROL pills are “a disrespect of life,” and can’t just say birth control is safe and effective for the overwhelming majority of women with your whole chest, you should NOT be America’s top doctor.

I'm voting NO on Casey Means for Surgeon General.

In the REAL ID era, this can also prevent people from flying.

it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying “this doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to “trans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.

This is Jim Crow shit, aimed at trans people just for existing. Gutter bigotry, for no real reason other than hate.
