This is a lot of words to say that DOJ is in violation of the statutory deadline and will take even longer to produce records that were due last week.

I’ve heard most journalists and politicians say that Trump hasn’t been directly accused of wrongdoing or implicated in the Epstein Files.
But, there are repeated instances of Trump being directly named as a perpetrator—by victims and by Epstein. It’s not circumstantial, it’s direct.

Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."
One CBS staffer tells me: "She really has no idea how insulting she comes across."

WaPo reports that ICE is planning 7 massive human warehouses holding 5,000 to 10,000 people.
Recalls the acting ICE director 2015 statement that he wanted to see a “business”-oriented approach to deportations, “like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings”.

The judge also ordered that teachers have a right to misgender trans youth even when the parents know of and are supportive of their trans child. Just in case you thought this was actually about parental rights.
24 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- Judge overturns CA school policy on outing trans kids, rules parents have right to know & teachers a right to tell them but no mention of child's rights. Case likely bound for Supremes. Weirdly CA law allows abortion w/o parental notification.
Federal judge rules California teachers are allowed to ‘out’ transgender students to parents
The ruling applies to all public schools in California and is a victory for two teachers who claimed that district policies violated their constitutional free speech and religious rights.

Just a reminder that Trump has, on camera, bragged about walking in on Miss Teen USA contestants changing and explained his 17-year-old daughter asked him not to “date” girls younger than her.
I’m not sure what’s true in the Epstein Files, but when you recall those facts it all seems plausible

What we’re being told is that a guy who is an adjudicated rapist, who was credibly accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, who is mentioned hundreds of times in the Epstein files, couldn’t possibly be a sexual predator.

Again, the simplest explanation here is VERY simple:
1. Epstein kills himself because molester
2. Big news
3. Some anti-MAGA person notes the double standard with Epstein, Nassar, Trump
4. Spends 5 minutes writing a prank letter, for a weird kick
5. Wrong address, bounces back
6. DOJ now has letter

There are those other factors though, like the timing. And isn't the claim Epstein wrote it in prison, not where he lived?
If it wasn't him, then it almost seems like it was someone trying to make his death look like suicide, when it wasn't. How else can you explain the timeframe?

NEW: Ohio has just restricted mail voting, banning the so-called 'grace period' that allows mail ballots to come in the day after Election Day as long as they've been postmarked in time.
This is likely to lead to thousands of Dem-leaning ballots to be rejected.

Ohio Bans Grace Periods for Mail Ballots, Fulfilling Trump’s Wishes - Bolts
Ohio is the fourth GOP-run state this year to ban ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive after. A Supreme Court case could force that policy nationwide next year.
