March 22, 2017: Sen. Tim Kaine questions Acosta at his confirmation hearing about the Epstein deal, the decision to forgo federal charges, and about its secrecy.

Acosta's answers were obviously absurd, but Epstein's ability to obtain information from the Trump admin is what's mind-boggling.

February 18, 2017: Jeffrey Epstein emails his lawyer Roy Black the next day, asking, "Who will represent Acosta at hearings?"

Black forwarded him an email after midnight: "He will be by himself. Perhaps a Trump administration aide to assist and accompany him."

Who did he forward the email from?

February 17, 2017: The NYT reports on a sweetheart deal that Acosta cut with Jeffrey Epstein in 2008, allowing him to plead guilty to state charges and avoid federal charges, which received little attention a decade before but might now get a public airing at Acosta's Senate confirmation hearing.

February 16, 2017: President Donald Trump nominates for labor secretary the former U.S. Attorney in Miami, Alexander Acosta.

It was after Trump withdrew the nomination of fast-food executive Andrew Puzder, who faced Senate opposition amid personal and business scandals.

🚨 This caught my attention after reviewing the Epstein emails released by the Dems House Oversight Committee.

🧵 THREAD:

Jeffrey Epstein had access to Trump WH through his lawyer to get info important for HIS coverup.

Roy Black died 3 months ago, so we'll likely never know how, but it's SHOCKING.

Jimmy Kimmel is in Brooklyn, New York, tonight, and Mayor Eric Adams is on the menu.

Lolzzz.

BREAKING: New York City Mayor Eric Adams just announced in a video that he is dropping out of the mayoral race, ending his floundering campaign for a second term.

Jimmy Kimmel roasted FCC chair Brendan Carr the "hard way" rather than the "easy way..."
September 26, 2025 at 5:38 AM
Donald Trump really screwed up big time by picking a fight with Jimmy Kimmel.

Nothing to see here; just after Tucker Carlson compared Charlie Kirk's murder to Jesus', he invoked the oldest blood libel that has been used for nearly 2,000 years to persecute the Jewish people.

Tucker Carlson is one of the most hateful, bigoted people on earth.

"A complaint is not a public forum for vituperation and invective—not a protected platform to rage against an adversary. A complaint is not a megaphone for public relations or a podium for a passionate oration at a political rally."

Boom! 💥

🚨WHOA!!! What a powerful moment.

"I'm your host, Stephen Colbert, but tonight we are all Jimmy Kimmel."

🚨BREAKING: Massive police response at UMass Boston to an unconfirmed report of a shooting on campus.

UMass Boston initially urged the public to avoid part of its campus amid what it described as a "police incident" and later a "public safety threat."

This can't be the new normal.

"I DISSENT"

Powerful moment as Stephen Colbert reads to Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor her dissent to allow Trump to continue 'roving' ICE patrols in LA.
September 10, 2025 at 4:55 PM
Nothing to see here; just the president of what is supposed to be the world's most democratic country wants you to know that he intends to change election rules so that his party can secure more seats.

"Jeffrey Epstein is dead. And as long as Donald Trump is alive, Donald Trump should face questions and suspicions about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein." — Lawrence O'Donnell

Jeffrey Epstein was such a manipulative narcissist. I have never seen this before. Damn.
August 6, 2025 at 7:17 AM
Kamala Harris's answer to Stephen Colbert's question about how she dealt with the challenge of being a candidate while still respecting the man she works for tells you everything about who she is and her true character. Just wow.

I can't stop watching this exchange between Donald Trump and Jerome Powell. My God!
July 24, 2025 at 9:38 PM
Hunter Biden tears up as he reveals something to Jaime Harrison about President Biden's visit to Charleston in 2015 right after the racist massacre at the oldest Black church in the South.

Watch this: 💔

Rep. Jamie Raskin just summed up on the House floor the difference between the bipartisan bill by Rep. Ro Khanna and the last-minute GOP stunt resolution regarding the Epstein files.

Donald Trump keeps blabbing like a cruel idiot about President Biden having stage 9 cancer; there's no such thing as stage 9 cancer, it goes 1-4.

Donald Trump seems to be a stage 9 idiot.
