“The most transparent administration in history” only released 10% of the Epstein files yesterday.

The DOJ must be confusing transparency with cover-up.

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.

Washington Post's new headline is still wrong.

1. The release was not "huge."
2. DOJ missed the deadline to release all the files.
3, No mention of extensive redactions.

The privatized immigration system is paid per body.

$70 to $100 million per week right now and growing.

Stephen Miller has six figure investments in the private for-profit detention industry.

Pam Bondi is a former lobbyist for the private for-profit detention industry.

California asked the Trump Administration back in February to request relief from Congress for the Los Angeles fires.

Nearly 11 months later, Trump has failed to send Congress that request — and his FEMA won't even schedule a meeting to discuss it.

So the farmers who voted AGAINST financial programs for the needy are going to accept money from the very person that stole it from them because in their minds they deserve it. F those farmers who voted and support the GOP.

@cnn.com, keep inviting Katie Miller on your shows. Have her on every night with Scott Jennings and Abby Phillip.

Let people listen to her, unfiltered.

Trust me, this is how you own the libs and destroy the woke. Katie is TOTALLY normal and effective, and the majority LOVES her.

Putin/Trump had a secret plot to whisk the criminal Bolsonaro off to criminal corrupt Putin puppet Trump's Mar a Lago, to escape justice for his Russian backed Fascist Authoritarian seditious insurrection, just like Trump's Russian backed insurrection in DC. Trump escaped Justice due to CORRUPT GOP!

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

Unbelievable. Trump-aligned figures are now trying to raid the U.S. Treasury by turning their own criminal and unethical conduct into giant payout claims and the DOJ is actually entertaining it.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
