BREAKING: new emails CONFIRM my reporting that there are TRAINING VIDEOS instructing FBI personnel on how to review the Epstein Files. Plus, a lot more…
The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

While Trump is ordering the FBI to investigate U.S. Senators over a video reminding military members they don’t have to follow illegal orders, it might be worth noting that “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

Impeachment isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent.

Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo54...

Worst half of football this year.
Packers beat the Vikings 23-6
Just awful. McCarthy does nothing to help. Major miscalculation on offseason $ spent.
#MNVikings
#MNVikings more 2nd half negative plays than positive ones. McCarthy looking, well, more of the same. Taking 5 sacks so far
Packers w/another short field
Packers 20 Vikings 6. Score likely to get worse
#MNVikings offense & McCarthy continue to struggle & disappoint today. As a QB, just can’t take sacks by holding ball so long. D is playing well, but has to be tiring v Packer running game

#MNVikings rookies…! Special teams punt returner critical mistake, gives Packers a short field.
Packers 17 Vikings 6
Early 2nd half

McCarthy continues to show he’s pretty much a rookie. Takes a costly sack w/23 seconds to the half…Reichard nails it from 58 yards, bailing out the team. At Half:
Packers 10 #MNVikings 6
November 23, 2025 at 7:21 PM
McCarthy 3 straight incompletions, results in opening #MNVikings drive, field goal. Packers march down field on Vikings defense playing soft
Packers lead early 7-3

More red meat for MAGA base. If Mamdani believes anything Trump told him in their meeting, I’d be surprised.
A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.

Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

Missouri voters overturned a complete abortion ban at the ballot last year.

It is still difficult to receive reproductive care in the state because the Missouri GOP doesn't give two shits about the will or the voices of Missourians.
