Even if you ignore the things that we don’t know yet about whatever Trump did or did not do with Epstein, we do know this:
This year, the only person ever convicted of child sex trafficking with Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, was moved by the Trump admin to a luxury prison.

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

Had 4 years of outrage media coverage of Hunter Biden having a board seat but not quite as much energy directed to what is basically legalized bribery. Need your tariffs cut? Just hand Trump a <checks notes> $130,000 solid gold bar and a bespoke Rolex desk clock. Media shrugs.

For two months, the U.S. government has been racial profiling as masked federal agents hunted for immigrants throughout Chicago. They’ve repeatedly snatched up U.S. citizens while traumatizing communities. “I felt like a piece of trash.” Here is our story www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

Instead of following legal channels or taking steps to change the law, the Trump administration often lies about the facts and claims existing law applies.
But in reality, drugs aren’t military arms, traffickers aren’t terrorists, the US wasn’t attacked, and isn’t at war. That has to matter.

Pretend there’s a war on (there isn’t).
Pretend drug traffickers are terrorists (they’re not).
Pretend overdoses are armed foreign attacks (they’re not).
Pretend “the president says so” means Congress has no role (it doesn’t).
Voila, legal. When factual reality is irrelevant, any law can apply.

Dems can say: Are you really sure you want to trust Trump, of all people, when he tells you that what he’s directing you to do is lawful, and that you’ll be protected later as a result? That’s a tenuous position for anyone to put themselves into—and Dems should not hesitate to say so.
Awful: Trump's boat bombings are now being justified by a new legal memo that relies on WH's own determinations as evidence. Memo also says people can't be prosecuted for the killings. But that reveals WH knows there's legal vulnerability here, Ds tell me.

So the administration is admitting that the tariff on coffee and bananas is a tax? These tariffs have been a self-imposed cost on American consumers and manufacturers. The sooner they stop this tariff policy, the sooner we will see improved American affordability.
The White House will unveil fresh tariff exemptions designed to address high food prices on Friday, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said, as President Donald Trump’s administration confronts rising political pressure from voters.

Just another reminder that the primary problem with Seattle law enforcement is that the officers they hire (usually not residents) have a deep and abiding contempt for the city’s residents fed by a steady Fox News diet. And their union chief embodies that.
