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.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

Today, we're learning why DOJ didn't release the redacted files last March. Because the multitude of redactions exposes how much they're covering up.

It’s always tit for tat.
Several of the largest U.S. and European-based drugmakers reached agreements with Trump Friday to voluntarily lower the prices of medications in the U.S.
In exchange they will receive a three-year exemption from Trump’s pharmaceutical tariffs, provided they expand investment in U.S. manufacturing.

I met Melissa Hortman in October of 2024. She was smart and kind. I heard about her murder in a LA hotel room and it dropped me to my knees. So I went to Minnesota and talked to her kids, parents, and friends. This is not true crime, this is Melissa in real life. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Way to prop up a wobbly stock market.
President Trump’s bill, which was signed into law earlier this year, gives $1,000 to every newborn, so long as their parents open an account. That money is invested in the stock market by private firms, and the child can access the funds when they turn 18.
With 'Trump Accounts,' your baby could qualify for $1,000. Here's what to know.
To qualify for an account, a baby must be a U.S. citizen, have a Social Security number and be born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028.
