Well into his second term, the president and his allies have continued aggressively raising money. Many donors have interests before his administration, The Times found.

"Oops, we missed something!"
They're so transparent they're removing photos of Donald Trump. And now I'm getting an "access denied" message when I go back to look.

Nobody is surprised that-given his history and the fact that he’s a Democrat-the White House is trying to deflect Trump’s connections with Epstein by suggesting Bill Clinton is the real problem
But because of their amateurish ineptitude and abject dishonesty, they can’t even do a frame job properly

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Funny as hell watching Trumpers try to make the Epstein Files about Bill Clinton when everybody knows damn well they wouldn't redact 90% of the files if Trump wasn't in them.
They're so desperate they got caught doing stupid shit like this.

The wide ranging disclosures of documents involving Bill Clinton should put to rest any arguments by the DOJ that they can’t release docs involving people under investigation, since Clinton is one of the figures whom Bondi, kissing up to Trump, ordered be the subject of a new investigation.

I'm sure the Trump regime thinks it's being sneaky-smart by making Bill Clinton the star of its initial release from the Epstein files. They may not realize that decent people – the kind of people who despise Trump – want all the facts exposed on people connected with Epstein, including Democrats.

FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES: During one of Doe's encounters with Epstein, he took her to Mar-a-Lago where he introduced her to its owner, Donald J. Trump. Introducing 14-year-old Doe to Donald J. Trump,... 1/2

Sen. Ron Wyden on the Trump DOJ not producing all of the Epstein files, as required by law:
"Anything short of a full release today is a violation of the law and a continuation of this administration’s coverup on behalf of a bunch of pedophiles and sex traffickers."

So, we all knew DOJ would ignore the law and fail to meet today's deadline for releasing the Epstein files. But that doesn't mean the news of it actually happening shouldn't be an above-the-fold headline.

Just in case any journalist or editor reading this is tempted to minimize Trump's Reiner post because it's a "showbiz thing" and "real" stories are happening: No. It's a President thing and a decency thing, and if you don't understand that those things are newsworthy, you are failing in your duties.

Wanting universal healthcare, a living wage, clean air and water, housing, and a government free of corruption is not radical. Progressive in the classical 19th Century meaning, perhaps?
Went to a Christmas party this evening for Dallas District 14 commissioners and board members. Mostly older folks, probably all Democrats. Every time I attend an event like this now, I come away with one certainty: If you're a centrist Dem, you have totally lost the plot. Normies are radicalized.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.
