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

To help counter the anti-Muslim and Islamophobic disinformation from Trump and his acolytes, I started a newsletter titled "Islam Today."

And today I wrote about Jesus in Islam, and how much Muslims and Christians actually have in common. Enjoy!

Just to be clear, I don't believe for a single moment that these files were "just found." There are just too many people who have seen them for the DOJ to continue to conceal them.

Lest anyone believe that Epstein received special treatment, for years the FBI ignored complaints that Dr. Larry Nassar sexually abused and assaulted at least 265 young female gymnasts between 1996 and 2016.

When they wanted to release the files early this year, they paid $1M in overtime and put 1000 people on it - until they realized what was in the files. Now they’re slow walking the release.

Yeah I'm SUPER shocked the DOJ is violating the law and not releasing all the Epstein files. WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED they'd continue to protect pedophiles??

Everyone. Everyone guessed.

I forget who said this first, but Bari Weiss’ low-rated interview with Erika Kirk is the result of being terminally online and thinking that social media represents the broader public. Normal people don’t know who either one of them are.

Susie Wiles is one of the most brilliant political operators in the business, having guided DeSantis and then Trump to significant victories, and the idea that she doesn't know how 'on the record' worked is like saying a pilot doesn't know how to land a plane.
CNN suggests Susie Wiles might not have known she was on the record 😆

If you give multiple interviews to Vanity Fair and don’t know whether or not you are on or off the record - then you are not qualified to be a chief of staff.
