Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

Earlier this year, when I walked into this Costco in Washington County for the first time in years, I noticed a striking difference from the other Portland-area Costcos I'd been to. There was far more Asian food. Here's my story that came from that: www.oregonlive.com/retail/2025/...
From salted duck eggs to durian ice cream: This Portland-area Costco caters to its Asian customer base
The high share of customers of Asian heritage supports a diverse mix of food choices at this grocery in the heart of Washington County.

At the very least, I feel like one of the reporters, preferably one considering a new line of work in a different country, should call Trump "Fuckface" tomorrow and be like, "Sorry. I thought we were all just doing fun nicknames now."
I’m not going to pretend it’s easy to say something in the moment when you witness the president do this and you’re aboard Air Force One with all the uniformed officers and secret service and fancy wood accents, but this is really an instance where you should. people.com/donald-trump...

Pedo says what?
Dershowitz: The predecessor on your show described Epstein as a convicted pedophile. He pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. That’s not a pedophile.

WinCo is doing free turkeys 🦃 again for 2025,
when you spend $125, etc, etc.
Good for them, even though turkey prices are up.
If you make more than 1 trip Nov 19-26, you can put an extra in the freezer! 😉
But, remember, no credits cards at WinCo. Bring cash, debit, etc.

If Democrats release files showing that Trump was complicit in Epstein's pedophilia, and Trump tries to distract from it by starting a war with Nigeria or Venezuela, then Democrats will have blood on their hands.
