BREAKING: Rep. Ro Khanna says two of the most critical documents Epstein survivors demanded were not released today, a 6

We knew Trump and his gang would cheat--but it seems to be worse than previously.





BREAKING: Rep. Ro Khanna says two of the most critical documents Epstein survivors demanded were not released today, a 60-count indictment drafted before Epstein’s sweetheart deal and an 82-page memo backing it up.

Both are missing.

Transparency law violated. Survivors ignored. Accountability still nowhere in sight.

Anyone else notice how the more his mind deteriorates and he loses the ability to censor himself, the more he can’t go five seconds without reminding everyone that he’s a gigantic fucking pervert?

Massive Train Derailment Occurs 17 Miles Northwest Of Cheyenne

Source: cowboystatedaily.com


A BNSF train carrying dozens of double-stacked freight cars derailed early Friday morning northwest of Cheyenne. Although no cause has been given, residents blame the wind. "This is the worst wind we've ever seen, and it’s been blowing for days now."


Andrew Rossi & Jimmy Orr December 19, 20256 min read


After several days of hurricane-force winds, including a 144-mph blast in western Wyoming, double-stacked freight cars fell off railroad tracks near Federal, Wyoming, about 17 miles northwest of Cheyenne, one of the state’s windiest corridors.

Neighbors said they believe dozens of train shipping containers toppled off the tracks sometime between 10 p.m. Thursday and 8 a.m. Friday.

Linda Brandtberg Pette, who lives near the unincorporated community in Laramie County, saw the aftermath of the derailment from her home, only a quarter of a mile away from her house. ......................


"150 Cars, Minimum"

Scott Lacy, who lives right next to the train tracks near the windy outpost had just got done surveying the damage Friday, driving on a dirt road parallel to the tracks..............................................

This is real! The entire 119 page Grand Jury document in the Jeffrey Epstein Files is redacted.

On top of that, if you review any of the court cases in the released files, you will notice entire files are missing (i.e. the documents skip from 011.pdf to 013.pdf).

This is a farce! What's Trump hiding?

Northeast Wisconsin child dies from flu; pediatric COVID death in western part of state

https://fox11online.com/news/state/wisconsin-reports-two-pediatric-deaths-this-season-from-covid-19-and-influenza-respiratory-illness-rsv-children-vaccine-health-season-flu-cough-sick



(WLUK) -- Wisconsin health officials announced Thursday that two children in the state, including one from Northeast Wisconsin, have died from respiratory illnesses so far this season.

One death was a result of COVID-19 and the other from influenza. Both occurred within the past month.


...................

Officials said they are working to confirm whether the children were vaccinated. Both had some underlying conditions that increased their risks.

DHS is urging everyone, especially young children, older adults, people with chronic health conditions, and women who are pregnant, to get vaccinated for flu, RSV and COVID-19. Six months is the earliest a child can be vaccinated for these illnesses.

BREAKING: Trump’s so-called “$1,776 Warrior Dividend” is just another TRUMP SCAM!

CNN reports the one-time bonuses aren’t new money at all but they’re being pulled from funds Congress already approved for troops’ housing and household expenses.

So in other words he’s stealing from troops to pay off troops and make it seem like he’s a hero

Merry Christmas -Your present from Trump will be very BIG increase in your Health Insurance-

So many that I talk to are feeling just plain helpless at this moment--and Trump has done absolutely NOTHING to help people with these increase costs--but I am sure he and his family and friends will enjoy themselves over the Holidays with Tax money paying their bills.


From Google just now:
Overview
ACA premium subsidies
, specifically the enhanced ones from the American Rescue Plan and extended by the Inflation Reduction Act, are set to expire at the end of 2025 (December 31, 2025), meaning millions on the Affordable Care Act marketplaces could face significantly higher premiums starting in 2026 unless Congress acts to extend them.

Key Details:

Expiration Date: December 31, 2025.
What's Ending: The enhanced Premium Tax Credits (PTCs) that made coverage more affordable for a broader range of incomes (over 400% of the poverty line) and lowered costs at all levels.
Impact: Without an extension, many enrollees will see large increases in their monthly payments for 2026 coverage.
