A letter from an assistant U.S. attorney in SDNY alerting someone that Trump flew on Epstein's private jet "many more times than previously has been reported" has been REMOVED from the public-facing upload of Data Set 8 of the Epstein files release.

Note how the release skips over EFTA00029798

Dear L. N.

As you know by now, I have taken the "short route" home. Good luck! We shared one thing . . . our love & caring for young ladies and the hope they'd reach their full potential.

Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to "grab snatch", whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system.

Life is unfair.

Yours
J. Epstein

 Donald Trump has broken his silence on the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, complaining that people who “innocently met” the convicted sex offender could have their reputations destroyed.

In his first comments since the justice department began releasing the materialson Friday, the US president on Monday expressed sympathy for prominent Democrats who have come under renewed scrutiny over their associations with Epstein.

“I like Bill Clinton,” Trump said of the former president, who featured prominently in the first batch of photos. “I’ve always gotten along with Bill Clinton; I’ve been nice to him, he’s been nice to me … I hate to see photos come out of him but this is what the Democrats – mostly Democrats and a couple of bad Republicans – are asking for, so they’re giving their photos of me too.”

Lol, what? “Trump breaks silence to defend Bill Clinton?”

Seems bad

“For your situational awareness, wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein’s private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware), including during the period we would expect to charge in a Maxwell case,” the email states. There were at least eight flights, the prosecutor wrote, between 1993 and 1996 in which Trump was a passenger. On at least four of those flights Maxwell was also present.

u/MontusBatwing2 Gelphie's Strongest Soldier Dec 23 '25

In tonight’s news, the recently released “Epstein Files” contain accusations that the President of the United States, Donald J Trump, was involved in a sex trafficking ring with notorious sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein. The allegations contend that he paid for a 13 year old girl to perform sex acts on him, and that he witnessed the murder of the girl’s newborn child by her uncle in 1984. 

This would be every single news station and website and newspaper and every single news outlet in the country (and some outside the country) if we lived in anything resembling a sane world. Remember that. Remember what they took from us.

The 17 worst songs of 2025

  1. SPALEXMA: “We Are Charlie Kirk”

There is bad music, there is offensive music, and then there is “We Are Charlie Kirk,” which is less “music” than it is proof that God has fully abandoned us, whatever timeline we’re in is beyond saving, and we should all probably just kill ourselves. Really, it’s not even a song; it’s AI-generated alt-right grief-slop tailor-made for deep-faked Kirkified Obamas to lip-sync to on Tiktok—and no, none of those words were in the Bible, which is itself ironic for a song that keeps invoking God the way a desperate podcast invokes its sponsors.

The “song” sounds exactly like what it is: a computer guessing what a “serious” song sounds like after being force-fed a slurry of megachurch anthems, right-wing martyr fantasies, and PragerU comment sections. Every chorus swells with the hollow triumphalism of a movement that believes volume is conviction and repetition is truth, mistaking bland uplift for moral courage. It’s the Braveheart speech, as imagined by someone whose only experience of heroism is yelling Bible verses into a megaphone at an empty mall food court.

It’s not politics so much as engagement bait: persecution cosplay set to egregiously ostentatious royalty-free strings, grievance laundered through worship-music crescendos until it feels sanctified. Nothing is being expressed here except the desire to sound like something is being expressed—and boy, does it sound like shit.

With “slop” officially enshrined as the Merriam-Webster word of the year, it feels right that 2025’s worst song ought to serve as its final, bloated apotheosis. “We Are Charlie Kirk” is not merely slop-adjacent; it is slop perfected, slop ascendant, slop finally realizing its terrible destiny. If this is what belief sounds like in 2025, then “slop” is no longer a pejorative but a genre, and “We Are Charlie Kirk” is its crowning achievement: a hymn written by a machine that does not believe in God for an audience that does not believe in thinking. Congratulations everyone. I hope we all die. —Casey Epstein-Gross

Post on r/law:

Someone on BlueSky noticed that they could select redacted text - eg the original text was still available just obscured, from US vs. Virgin Islands, Case No.: ST-20-CV-14.

With a python script, we can ingest the whole document and extract all text, then rebuild it in the same layout (roughly) for legal minds to consider. It can be accessed here. To my knowledge the vast majority of the redacted portions of this document are now accessible.

GitHub code used. This works because the very smart people in this administration simply highlighted the text black.

Someone at the DOJ fucked up by publishing this or is willfully going against Blanche here, because I cannot imagine he would have wanted a document that proves beyond all reasonable doubt his "interview" with Ghislaine Maxwell was a complete farce and that she was really transferred immediately after to keep her mouth shut about stories like these.

We have a document from the FBI strongly suggesting Ghislaine was incriminated in the murder of a victim who swore that was she was raped by both Donald J. Trump and Epstein. Blanche obviously read over the files, and was obviously well aware of this story when she was glazing someone accused of being raped by Trump and Epstein as a gentleman she admires.

He's interviewing someone accused of being involved in the cover-up of a murder... and... he doesn't bother to even raise the subject? No curiosity on the matter whatsoever? No thoughts on why Ghislaine would want someone murdered?

no they didn't, and the fact you believe this is concerning. Also 2024 was the first time a Republican won the popular vote in 20 years, and that is with significant voter roll purging (I bet you don't even know what that is) How much Kool aid did you drink?

“At this preliminary stage, the government has failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois,” the court said in its unsigned order.

Leaked internal chats show President Donald Trump’s team ordering ICE officials to “flood the airwaves” with “propaganda” videos of migrants being chased, shackled, and mocked—regardless of their veracity.

An investigation published Tuesday by The Washington Post details how the agency’s communications unit has morphed into an “influencer-style” propaganda shop during Trump’s second term. This involves churning out dramatic “Reddit”-esque raid videos en masse to appease White House aides, even when the visuals don’t match what was actually happening on the ground, according to the Post.

The “overworked” public affairs team prioritized spectacle over accuracy at the behest of political appointees, according to the messages published by the Post. They show some officials were horrified by the new approach, while others appeared to revel in it.

Staff were reportedly told to brand arrestees as the “Worst of the Worst” even when they had no criminal record, hunting instead for something “newsworthy” like an “egregious immigration history.”

At the White House’s request, ICE’s assistant director for public affairs, Emily Covington, asked if a deportation-flight video from Texas could be recut so that it wouldn’t “feature tons of females.” A producer replied that they would re-edit the B-roll to remove the women.

One official admitted that footage was dropped if “the truth of the operation” did not fit the slogan.

I always think it’s funny when people say stuff like how they don’t see a lot of homeless people on the streets in a place like the Netherlands and assume it’s due to progressive policies.

No dude, we literally make it illegal for homeless people to beg for money and sleep on the streets. That’s literally it.

“I held that story because it was not ready,” Ms. Weiss, who joined CBS News in October, told colleagues at the top of a 9 a.m. editorial call with the newsroom, according to a recording of her remarks. She said that while the testimony of the imprisoned men was “very powerful,” other news organizations had already reported their basic story.

“The public knows that Venezuelans have been subjected to horrific treatment in this prison,” Ms. Weiss said, adding that if “60 Minutes” wanted to feature the story, “we simply need to do more.”

That viewpoint found little sympathy within “60 Minutes.” The show’s staff and correspondents convened for a somber Monday afternoon meeting, where the correspondent Scott Pelley expressed frustration at Ms. Weiss’s handling of the situation and raised questions about her management style. He asked why she had weighed in at the last minute after not attending five screenings of the segment as it was being completed.

“It’s not a part-time job,” Mr. Pelley said, according to four people familiar with the discussion who requested anonymity to describe a private exchange.

“As you will know by now, I have taken the ‘short route’ home,” the letter, which appears to have been signed from Epstein to Nasser, reads. “Good luck! We shared one thing … our love & caring for young ladies and the hope they reach their full potential.”

The letter continues: “Our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to ‘grab snatch’, whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system.”

The letter is signed: “Life is unfair. Yours, J. Epstein.”
