One last point: I remain concerned about what the administration could do to its DOJ Epstein files. But the administration is sitting on another Epstein file, buried at the Treasury Department. A concrete money trail showing who helped finance Epstein's crimes over the years.
So it would be a positive development — and a real change of course — if the Trump administration suddenly bowed to bipartisan pressure and released the files as required by law. But whatever they do release, you have every reason to be skeptical of the content.
And finally, Bondi had an opportunity to go after more of Epstein’s henchmen when she was the Attorney General of Florida. That’s where a lot of Epstein’s crimes were committed, and at least one of his associates is still living in south Florida, selling real estate.
Third: the Trump admin did assign hundreds of FBI agents to look at the Epstein file, but somehow it wasn't able to hunt down any more pedophiles or Epstein enablers. Because those agents were apparently assigned to comb through the files for Donald Trump’s name and protect him.
Let’s remember: Maxwell is not just Epstein’s pal. She is also a trafficker and a serial abuser of women and girls. She was right at the heart of one of the most notorious sex trafficking rings in history. Despite all that, Trump himself says a pardon for Maxwell is on the table.
Second, the cushy treatment by the Trump administration of Ghislaine Maxwell is unacceptable. Who moved her to a cushy minimum security facility? Who are the secret visitors she’s getting? Why didn’t the Deputy AG follow up on ANY of the lies she told him in her interview?
First off, this wouldn’t be the first time Bondi tried to trick the public with a binder full of chicken feed. That’s what she did back in the spring, which infuriated the MAGA voters who took Trump and his cronies at their word that they’d release the files.
If you get your groceries anywhere other than Walmart, Trump and his cronies have ensured you're paying a higher price for your Lays, Gatorade, and Pepsi
1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.
INBOX: The Hemp Beverage Alliance is out with a statement supporting the Cannabinoid Safety and Regulation Act from @wyden.senate.gov @jeff-merkley.bsky.social, which would provide a federal path forward for THC-infused drinks after Congress effectively banned them on a 1yr delay last month.
HEMP BEVERAGE ALLIANCE SUPPORTS NEW FEDERAL LEGISLATION TO
REGULATE HEMP INDUSTRY
The Hemp Beverage Alliance, the trade association of the hemp beverage industry with more than 375 members, voiced its support for Cannabinoid Safety and Regulation Act (CSRA) introduced today by U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley to establish regulations for hemp beverages across the country.

The following statement can be attributed to Christopher Lackner, president, Hemp Beverage Alliance (HBA):

“The Hemp Beverage Alliance applauds senators Wyden and Merkley for championing sensible regulations that keep products away from children, provide robust product testing and transparent packaging information, and provide a pathway for the hemp beverage industry to continue to thrive.”
“Since our founding in 2023, the HBA has advocated for testing, proper labeling, sensible THC milligram levels, and age-gating of products. We look forward to working with congressional lawmakers to promote this legislation and ensure a thriving hemp beverage category in 2026 and beyond.”

“Hemp beverages are incredibly popular with adult consumers who are seeking additional beverage choices. This legislation allows them to continue to enjoy these beverages, while creating a safe, transparent and thriving category.”

There is blood on the hands of Donald Trump, RFK, and every Republican who has allowed this sham to go on for far too long. When kids die unnecessarily and once-eradicated diseases darken the doors of terrified families and pediatricians, Americans will know who is responsible.
Breaking: After contentious debates and three failed attempts at a vote, a federal vaccine committee decided on Friday to end the decades-long recommendation that all newborns be immunized at birth against hepatitis B. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/h...
Some great news: I just got off the phone with the U.S. Coast Guard, who has returned the rescue helicopter to Newport and promised to keep it there. This is a big win to keep fishermen and the Newport community safe.
Oregon is suing the Trump administration for relocating, without notice, a Coast Guard rescue helicopter that has saved lives in dangerous waters near Newport. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
