Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
And 1 million Epstein files appeared from thin air

JUST IN: CBS’s Kennedy Center Honors just hit an all-time ratings low. Preliminary Nielsen data shows only ~2.65M viewers tuned in to the Trump-hosted show, down from 4.1M in 2024. A stunning 35% year-over-year collapse.

Just lost my ACA coverage as I’m finishing radiation on 12/31. Tons lot of effort to squeeze it all in before end of yr. Now transitioning all scripts to CostPlusDrugs as it’s the only way I’ll be able to afford my meds going forward. Thanks Mark for making this happen

Donald Trump defaulted on a $330 million loan for his Chicago skyscraper. And it wasn't the only time he defaulted on a loan or failed to pay a bill.

CBS News capitulated but Democracy Docket never will. I created it without corporate backers, venture capitalists or private equity investors. It's only accountable to its members who help support its 22-person team. Become one now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Trump considers himself a TV guy and is very sensitive about ratings.
A COMPLETE UNMITIGATED DISASTER — Smallest audience ever: According to Nielsen data, after the pedophile president announced that he was hosting the event, "The Kennedy Center Honors" drew its lowest ratings in history. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇

Axios has learned the White House has begun managing the DOJ's account on X to respond to posts highlighting mentions of Trump in the Epstein files.
In typical administrations, there is a wall between the White House and what is supposed to be an independent Justice Department.

The AG is *supposed* to be the people’s lawyer, not the president’s. This is outrageous.
It also indicates Trump feels that he needs protection from Epstein file disclosures.

Utterly corrupt. Utterly lawless. Continuing to destroy the very independence of the Justice Department. But not one member of my former political party will say a damn thing. Every Republican, every single Republican on the ballot, needs to lose in 2026. Merry Christmas.👇

Remember when Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump’s lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, wrote an op-ed trying to justify having sex with kids?
Seems relevant now.

Mockler: He said he grabbed women because they let him do it. You heard that clip, right? Abuse of power dynamics. Now that he's in office, he's abusing these same power dynamics to cover up the files, delay the releases, redact.

“Clinton is in the Epstein files!”
Great. Next time I come across a Clinton rally, someone wearing a Clinton hat, or flying a Clinton flag on their truck, I’ll be sure to let them know.
The rest of us want them ALL held accountable because we aren’t in a cult. Hope that helps.
