Bondi Blasted After Adding Elvis and Marilyn Monroe to Epstein List

Attorney General Pam Bondi tried to pacify critics of the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files by sending Congress a letter Saturday with a list of 130 names—which for some reason, included dead celebrities.The list contains some absurd names, including people whom Epstein had merely mentioned but never met, such as Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, and Janis Joplin. Monroe passed away when Epstein was only 9. While the list does include the names of known Epstein associates, such as President Trump, Les Wexner, and Steve Bannon, it also includes Representatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna, who have pushed for the files’ release.Also named on the list are Trump enemies like George Clooney and former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is also mentioned with her name spelled incorrectly.Arguably the most egregious part of the letter, however, is the assertion from Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche that the DOJ had fulfilled its legal requirements and considers the legal matters of Epstein and his associates and accomplices settled. Khanna called out Bondi’s antics on X.The DOJ has yet to release all six million files relating to Epstein, and this list of names looks like an attempt to placate critics. But the end result is the opposite, with Bondi exposed for avoiding the information that would be damaging to Trump and his friends. It’s obvious that the Trump administration is trying in vain to pacify the public about Epstein but is failing blatantly.

John Fetterman Bends Reality in Desperate Attempt to Defend Trump

Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, a Democrat turned Donald Trump sympathizer, falsely claimed that the president has never violated a court order.Speaking to Dasha Burns on Politico’s The Conversation, Fetterman launched into a fantastical defense of Trump when pressed on how he felt about the president calling him “the most sensible Democrat.”“I know and I love a lot of people that voted for Trump, and that’s part of why I refuse to call these people Nazis or they’re brown shirts or they’re trying to destroy our democracy,” Fetterman said. “Now I’m not defending the president, but I will say he hasn’t defied a single court order yet. He hasn’t.”To defend Trump’s rule as—of all things—lawful is preposterous. Let’s lay out just a few violations, shall we?In April, the Trump administration illegally deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador, even though he had received a judge’s protective order—and when the government eventually brought him back, it just tried to deport him again. That same month, Trump also defied a court order requiring his administration to allow the journalists from the Associated Press to report presidential events.In May, a federal judge found that the Trump administration had “unquestionably” violated a court order requiring the government to provide written notice and an opportunity for detainees to apply for protection before deporting them to a third country.In October, a federal judge ruled that the Trump administration had flouted a judge’s order by requiring states to cooperate with immigration enforcement in order to receive emergency management funding.In November, the Trump administration continued to sign criminal indictments with Trump’s improperly appointed U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan’s name, even after a judge ruled that “all actions flowing from Ms. Halligan’s defective appointment … constitute unlawful exercises of executive power and must be set aside.”U.S. courts have ruled that Immigration and Customs Enforcemnt has illegally detained people 4,400 times since October, and yet Trump’s sweeping immigration crackdown continues undeterred. But this isn’t the kind of thing that bothers Fetterman—the only member of his party who voted to keep funding the Department of Homeland Security.In total, the Trump administration has been sued more than 650 times—a sure sign of a lawful reign worthy of Fetterman’s staunch defense.

Billionaire Trump Donor Closing U.S. Plant and Moving Work to China

Billionaire Trump Donor Closing U.S. Plant and Moving Work to China

One of President Trump’s oldest donors is closing a manufacturing plant in Ohio and moving it to China, a slap in the face to the American workers he claimed to be fighting for. Hedge fund billionaire John Paulson plans to offshore the East Lake, Ohio, plant of Conn Selmer, the largest U.S. manufacturer of brass and orchestra instruments.“We can’t have American producers closing American factories and offshoring. We need to protect American jobs and protect American manufacturing,” Paulson said just last year.“We came in with a full proposal, fully prepared to bargain, and they started off with a presentation of telling us how bad we were doing,” said UAW Local 2359 president and plant worker Robert Hines. “To go publicly on CNBC to support the Trump administration’s positive views on tariffs and all that stuff, and then you turn around and [say you] want to go send the work right over to China … it’s a slap in our face.”Paulson raised $50.5 million for Trump during his 2024 presidential campaign. And like Trump, he’s pushed pro–domestic worker rhetoric while leaving those same workers out to dry. “It’s going to take a lot of money out of East Lake,” Hines said. “We’ve had people come out [and] show love to try to keep the place open, and the company just isn’t open to it. They’re not answering or returning anyone’s calls.”
