The deadline for DOJ to release files under the Epstein Files Transparency Act is Friday, Dec. 19.
I'm guessing it's going to be quite a week of Trump throwing shit at the wall. The only real question is whether he goes full Wag the Dog in Venezuela.

The Democratic Party's formula for the last 50 years has been "Let's be friendly with extreme wealth and maybe we can also get modest policy wins sometimes." The last 10 years and this year in particular should be conclusive proof of how badly this has failed. But we're stuck with it anyway

We’re officially in the Lame Duck phase of Trump’s presidency with over three years left on the clock
Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!
