The Trump administration says there will be no more Epstein files released. Over half of the 6 million documents remain sealed.

Pam Bondi’s response:
β€œThe DOJ is done.”

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected β€” young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! β€” and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

What's the final solution?

I want anyone in the press to ask them this.

A whistleblower told Congress, and DHS denied it. But now we’ve got the records, and guess what? DHS lied.

These are the exact skills that might have prevented the deaths of American citizens at the hands of ICE agents. And these are the agents operating in our communities right now.

ICE training was slashed, records show, corroborating whistleblower claims Previously unreported records also offer new details about what was cut from ICE’s basic training program. Concerns about the quality of ICE agents’ training have mounted for months.

ICE just got caught in another lie.

ICE cut over 40% of its training program, slashed half of all firearms instruction, and eliminated ALL evaluation of agents’ grasp of skills specific to immigration enforcement and deportation operations.

this is frankly one of the most bonkers 60 seconds in Fox & Friends history -- Lawrence Jones chastising Democrats for hurting Trump by commenting on realty immediately followed by Brian Kilmeade admonishing tanker captains to "show some guts and go through that Strait." Incredible stuff.

We bombed the hell out of the Vietnamese for many years. They never surrendered. What happens next when you bomb people and they still won’t surrender?

remember when the IRS put out a a free online tax filing system where you could just do your taxes through the IRS and it was actually well made and was pretty well recieved and then the tax filing industry and Republicans killed it and now you have to use TurboTax again

WOW .. gotta hand it to Trump and Netanyahu. Start an illegal war with Iran, assassinate Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to topple the regime, watch him be replaced by his son, Mojtaba Khamenei. Epic regime-change fail for Don and Bibi. It's like a war run by Beavis and Butthead, but a whole lot stupider 🀑

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

Every single professional journalist who uses the phrases β€œDepartment of War” or β€œSecretary of War” without scare quotes should be lined up on a public viewing stage and bopped on the head with a giant inflatable hammer that says DUMB DUMB on the handle and makes fart sounds.

What an honor to receive @hrc.org’s 2026 Ally for Equality award at HRC South Florida’s annual dinner.

Silence is not civility. Silence is complicity. As an ally, we must be louder because progress has never come from silence.

These times demand the courage to stand up & fight back for equality.

So the new Ayatollah Khamenei?

Yeah, well:

US-Israeli forces have killed his father, mother, wife, son, sister, brother-in-law, niece, and nephew in the past weekβ€”AND injured him.

This is Hans Chrisian Anderson's little mermaid

This is the moment when she realised she gave up her voice, her power, her freedom for a man that never loved her

She realises the witch was right and threw herself into the ocean to be consumed

When you see the foam on the waves think of her

Ugh. The brand-new Coast Guard jet Kristi Noem was using before she got fired flew down to Florida late Friday -- presumably for the "Shield of the Americas" announcement -- and then returned to Watertown, SD, late Saturday. So she's still using it!!

NIH Director Accepts Award From Anti-Vax Dark Money Group Founded By Accused Sexual Harasser Jay Bhattacharya reunited with his old ally Jeffrey Tucker weeks after the political operative was revealed to have faced a sexual harassment scandal.

In November, he even accepted an award from a notorious anti-vax dark money group.

Bhattacharya loves his anti-vax pals almost as much as he loves railing against the β€œpoliticization” of science.

And he loves that almost as much as he loves blaming scientists for the loss of public trust in vaccines.

Note this is being shared by Children’s Health Defense, Kennedy’s old group.
