So we know there are images of death, physical abuse, and injury in the #EpsteinFiles. Got it.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from yesterday’s Epstein files release.

WHAT ELSE ARE THEY HIDING???

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

Any one of us could be detained for hours by ICE despite being a U.S. citizen.

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.

Any one of us could be the next to be brutalized by ICE for speaking out.

Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

It's all illegal. All of it.

The question is who is going to enforce the law?

There is no legal justification, whatsoever, to use military force against a NATO ally like Greenland.

If any military member participates in this without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

Curtis Yarvin, JD Vance’s friend & ideological influence, ended 2025 by claiming “only Hitler spoke the truth” about “too many subjects” & “Hitler was a genius.”

Extremism isn’t fringe on the right. Once marginal online extremists like Yarvin are influential at the highest levels of government.

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

Yesterday, Trump posted nearly 200 times, relentlessly pushing conspiracy theories. That’s not the behavior of someone who had a good Christmas.

In Canada, the 60 Minutes clip about CECOT that Bari Weiss canned was broadcast. @jasonparis.bsky.social‬ captured it. Enjoy. Bluesky only allows 3 minute videos max. I hope this works. 1/5.

This image (File 468 in the Epstein records), showing Donald Trump, was part of the DOJ’s Friday release and has since vanished from the agency’s website. Funny how that works. Someone must have missed that redaction, oops.

Epstein was indicted in 2006. He was investigated for child sex trafficking in 2005. Brooks attended the event in 2011.

We're supposed to believe this?

Just need to be clear that the US Air Force almost caused a major commercial flight catastrophe because they are flying over Venezuela with transponders off
NOT GOOD 🫠

‘the air traffic controller noted not seeing the military aircraft on their end, as it had the transponder off and was not transmitting its location.

“We almost had a midair collision up here,” the pilot said, according to ATC recordings. "They passed directly in our flight path ..."’
