They report that Alexis Wilkins, Patel's girlfriend, has "a security detail made up of elite FBI agents usually assigned to a SWAT team in the FBI field office in Nashville, where Wilkins spends time for her work." November 17, 2025 at 10:53 AM EST Conservative Bill Kristol writes in The Bulwark that President Donald Trump cares very much about the scandal surrounding him and late convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, but that his recent change of tune is a temporary reaction to Trump recognizing his defeat. Trump, Kristol says, "has attacked those who called for the files' release" and tried to pressure Republicans to rescind their offers to sign the discharge petition to forc e a floor vote mandating their release. November 17, 2025 at 9:28 AM EST Policy expert and journalist William S. Becker writes in The Hill that the Supreme Court made a "horrendous mistake" giving President Donald Trump absolute power and says the court's conservative majority must correct this error. "Their decision in Trump v. United States was naïve at best," Becker writes. "More likely, the court bought into the right wing's confusion about the difference between a unitary president and a dictator." November 17, 2025 at 6:14 AM EST Republicans are obsessed with taking your health care away. This spring, they cut $1 trillion from Medicaid, all to give massive tax handouts to billionaires. For the last month and a half they shut down the government rather than prevent premiums from doubling on average for 24 million people in the Affordable Care Act marketplace. And they "won." The number of uninsured Americans is about to skyrocket, which is exactly what Republicans want. It is what they fight for every day: to steal your health care. November 17, 2025 at 6:07 AM EST In yesterday's edition, I said I would get back to some of the content that was found in the 23,000 emails released by the House Oversight Committee that were obtained from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein. Here, I'm going to go straight to the authority, Julie K Brown. She's the reporter for the Miami Herald who wrote that blockbuster series revealing that Epstein got a sweetheart deal from federal prosecutors. It's because of her that any of us knows the name of Jeffrey Epstein. November 17, 2025 at 5:51 AM EST Trump claimed last week on social media that "Our economy is BOOMING, and Costs are coming way down," and that "grocery prices are way down. Rubbish. November 16, 2025 at 3:49 PM EST Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), a leading, bipartisan advocate in the U.S. House of Representatives for forcing the Department of Justice to release all of its unredacted files related to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, says that President Donald Trump's push to investigate Democrats allegedly involved with Epstein is one big ruse, Politico reports. Speaking to ABC's Jonathan Karl on "This Week" on Sunday, Massie says the Justice Department's investigation into Epstein's ties to notable Democrats coming from Trump after the release of explosive emails and documents mentioning him is "a last-ditch effort to prevent the release of the Epstein files." November 16, 2025 at 1:37 PM EST Prices have risen so high at fast food landmark McDonald's under President Donald Trump's leadership that " traffic from one of its core customer bases, low-income households, has dropped by double digits," reports the LA Times. "The struggle of the Golden Arches -- long synonymous with cheap food for the masses -- reflects a larger trend upending the consumer economy and making 'affordability' a hot policy topic," writes Suhauna Hussein. November 16, 2025 at 1:23 PM EST Blaming the GOP leader of Indiana's state Senate for refusing to convene to redraw congressional maps in the Republican Party's favor, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social Sunday to demand his and other Indiana Republicans' oustings, Politico reports. "Very disappointed in Indiana State Senate Republicans, led by RINO Senators Rod Bray and Greg Goode, for not wanting to redistrict their State, allowing the United States Congress to perhaps gain two more Republican seats. The Democrats have done redistricting for years, often illegally, and all other appropriate Republican States have done it. Because of these two politically correct type 'gentlemen,' and a few others, they could be depriving Republicans of a Majority in the House, A VERY BIG DEAL!" Trump posted. November 16, 2025 at 12:18 PM EST Bill Pulte, Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), seems to get along very well with President Donald Trump and that, reports The Daily Beast, is rattling MAGA Republican feathers. Pulte, writes Will Neal, "has reportedly made such a song and dance of pandering to the president that it's starting to drive other aides insane." November 16, 2025 at 12:15 PM EST President Donald Trump's MAGA movement is "mired in conflict over Israel, white nationalism, purity tests and disputes among its biggest personalities," writes Axios, and it's only expected to get worse this week. MAGA, they write, is still "overwhelmingly pro-Trump," but "less relevant in shaping the president's agenda," and "these days, MAGA can spend more time eating its own than feasting on liberals or establishment Republicans." |
