They missed on redacting Trump from all of the Epstein files.

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers.

Doing your holiday shopping this weekend? Prices for many of the most popular holiday gifts have risen an average of 26% since last year — nearly 9 times the rate of inflation.

Meanwhile, Trump’s personal net worth has soared by at least $3 billion this year.

Priorities.

The most insulting thing about the Trump presidency is just how cartoonishly evil and STUPID he is.

America wasn't bamboozled into fascism by some slick talking evil genius well well orchestrated secret plans. He just arrived like "herp derp smart people are lame" and the country followed.

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.

Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.

Now, it’s gone.

Trump’s aides demanded that FIFA’s made-up “peace prize” awarded to him be literally as big as the World Cup.

The White House gave FIFA a list of demands regarding the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize, which was invented by FIFA president Gianni Infantino to present to Trump.

To report 2.7% inflation for November, the Trump Admin excluded data on food, housing, electricity, clothing, medical care, and most other categories.

In fact, only 3 of more than 20 price categories were included in the calculations, making the report meaningless.

Actual inflation is much higher.

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.

Your Friday reminder that trickle-down economics is a cruel hoax.

Cruel because it's used by the super-rich to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.

And a hoax because nothing has ever trickled down.

Statement from Maria Farmer: “This is amazing. Thank you for believing me. I feel redeemed. This is one of the best days of my life. Of course, it's mixed with the fact that I'm devastated about all the other little girls like Virginia who were harmed because the FBI didn't do their job. 1/
HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

In Iran, people who criticize the Ayatollah are arrested and often die in jail.

In Russia, criticizing Putin or any of his policies carries a 15-year term.

China convicts democracy activists of "treason."

Trump's America is preparing to prosecute protestors against his policies as "terrorists."

The next time you hear conservatives railing against "handouts for the poor," remind them that we should really be cutting corporate welfare — unnecessary and unwarranted aid for profitable corporations that are dependent on the taxpayer.
