If Marjorie Taylor Greene *really* cared about the Epstein victims, she would read the names of the perpetrators on the House floor (where she would have immunity) before she leaves office.

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…”

Read that again.

This is the 7th person whose sentence was commuted by Trump that has been rearrested on new charges. And don't pretend Trump cares about fraud in MN. This guy bilked over a $1 billion and Trump let him go.

For those of us who can’t get through the WSJ pay wall, here’s the nuts and bolts of what in any other era would be the greatest presidential scandal in history.

Trump pardons "start at $1m," reports WSJ
A simple process: you give a lobbyist the money, they talk to someone in Trump's inner circle such as his son, then Trump pardons you.

Yet y’all are missing the fact that many are running for Governor in their State which will give the pedo party even more control over elections. Don’t be fooled by the Nazis again please.

On "fair" reporting and what happened at "60 Minutes"
Laura Belin: I was alarmed (though not surprised) when CBS News boss Bari Weiss intervened to stop “60 Minutes” from airing a segment.

Any time I see a Russian get turned into instant fertilizer in some empty Ukrainian field, I can’t help but imagine that this is the same future that awaits MAGA invaders in some Canadian field, if they keep marching down that path. There is still time to get off that timeline.

Khanna: You’ve got the DOJ releasing the names of survivors—which they are not allowed to do by law—but not releasing the FBI interview files with those same survivors. Those FBI interviews contain the names of other men: Wall Street tycoons and politicians…

@corybooker.com has the 60-minute CECOT segment available on his channel. Watch it while you can. In other places, Paramount has taken the video down - "copyright," don't you know. Share. The more who witness, the better.

For way too many, the Holiday Season is the worst time of year for a multitude of reasons.

Please be sure to take good care of yourself because you matter and the world is a better place with you in it. No matter what (if this is your issue) your crazy family says.

Peace ✌️
Love 💗
And Joy 🕊️
Please remember you are not alone this season. 💙

If the holidays feel heavy—if anxiety, grief, or overwhelm are pressing in—help is always within reach. You can call, text, or chat 988 anytime, day or night, and connect with someone who will listen with care and compassion.

Btw this is one of the biggest reasons why it’s not as easy as people think to start up independent newsrooms or just be an indie journalist on substack. If you are actually holding powerful and rich people to account, you WILL need legal representation. Not a matter of whether but when
I say that as someone who has started newsrooms from scratch sometimes with two people - if you’re doing your job correctly you will need a lawyer because the first thing rich people do when you write something they don’t like is threaten you legally. It’s cheap for them and expensive for you
