A resolution to censure Rep. Stacey Plaskett, the Democrat congresswoman caught texting with Jeffrey Epstein during Michael Cohen’s 2019 hearing, has just failed in the House of Representatives. The final vote was 209-214-3 (three Republicans voted ‘present.’) Every single Democrat, and three Republicans, voted against the resolution. Here are the details: BREAKING: In a pathetic move, US House REJECTS censuring Democrat Stacey Plaskett over her collusion with Epstein to harm Donald Trump in 2019 EVERY DEMOCRAT VOTED TO PROTECT HER.

You disgust America, Dems. You’re in leagues with Epstein and you just got exposed! 3 Republicans crossed the aisle for Plaskett. 3 Democrats did not vote. Absolutely despicable. Once again, Democrats have proven that they don’t really care about Epstein. Not as much as protecting their own. The Hill reported: The House on Tuesday evening rejected a House Freedom Caucus-pushed resolution to formally censure Democratic Virgin Islands Del. Stacey Plaskett and to remove her from the House Intelligence Committee over recently-released documents that show she consulted with Jeffrey Epstein during a 2019 hearing. The vote was 209-214-3. Three Republicans voted “no” with all Democrats, and three Republicans voted present. Rejection of the resolution comes just hours after the House passed, and the Senate approved, a bill directing the Department of Justice to release files related to the late sex offender and wealthy financier. Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) introduced the resolution. If the resolution passed, Democrats were expected to immediately bring up a retaliatory resolution to censure Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.). A judge had granted Mills’s ex-girlfriend a restraining order against Mills last month. Documents from the Epstein estate released by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee last week show Plaskett texting with Epstein during a hearing with Michael Cohen, a former fixer for President Trump, in February 2019 — after a major Miami Herald investigation into Epstein’s sex crimes ran in 2018. The Washington Post reported that during the hearing, Epstein suggested that Plaskett ask Cohen about Trump’s former executive assistant. Plaskett did so. After the hearing, Epstein texted her, “good work.” The censure resolution says Plaskett “was actively coached by Epstein during the hearing, received instructions on specific lines of questioning, and was congratulated afterwards with the message ‘Good work.’” And, in case you’re wondering, here are the Republicans who sided with Democrats to vote against the resolution: GOP Members who voted with Democrats against the Censure: Don Bacon (NE) Lance Gooden (TX) Dave Joyce (OH) GOP Present Votes Andrew Garbarino (NY) Jay Obernolte (CA) Dan Meuser (PA) — Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) November 19, 2025 Prior to the vote, Rep. Plaskett defended herself by claiming that neither she nor the public knew Epstein was a perverted criminal at the time of the hearing in 2019. Watch this: STACEY PLASKETT: “I got a text from Jeffrey Epstein, who at the time was my constituent. It was not public knowledge at that time that he was under federal investigation.” It was, however, a full 11 years after he was first arrested for child sex crimes. pic.twitter.com/WcUZ1BPR4g — Greg Price (@greg_price11) November 18, 2025 But, Plaskett’s defense is riddled with BS. While it may have been true that no one knew he was the subject of a federal investigation and would be convicted later that year, Epstein had been previously charged for exploiting young girls in 2006. Fox News noted: “I got a text from Jeffrey Epstein, who, at the time was my constituent — who was not public knowledge at that time, that he was under federal investigation — and who was sharing information with me,” she said in her own defense on Tuesday. Plaskett also pointed out her years of experience as a prosecutor when arguing she was not seeking advice on her line of questioning. It’s worth noting, however, that while the federal probe into Epstein was not public knowledge, he first faced charges related to the exploitation of underaged girls as early as 2006. She knew. And that makes it so much worse. Your thoughts?

The Trump administration just took a huge move towards dismantling the Department of Education. Specifically, the Education Department is breaking up the federal education bureaucracy by dividing up several key functions to other agencies. In an appearance on Fox News, Education Secretary Linda McMahon outlined the new plan. She also discussed how the government shutdown proved that schooling functions just fine without the federal government. Watch here: A press release from the Department of Education shared more details: The U.S. Department of Education (ED) today announced six new interagency agreements (IAAs) with four agencies to break up the federal education bureaucracy, ensure efficient delivery of funded programs, activities, and move closer to fulfilling the President’s promise to return education to the states. By partnering with agencies that are best positioned to deliver results for students and taxpayers, these IAAs will streamline federal education activities on the legally required programs, reduce administrative burdens, and refocus programs and activities to better serve students and grantees. These new partnerships with the Departments of Labor (DOL), Interior (DOI), Health and Human Services (HHS), and State mark a major step toward improving the management of select ED programs by leveraging partner agencies’ administrative expertise and experience working with relevant stakeholders. These agreements follow a successful workforce development partnership signed with DOL earlier this year, which has created an integrated federal education and workforce system and reduced the need for states to consult multiple federal agencies to effectively manage their programs. “The Trump Administration is taking bold action to break up the federal education bureaucracy and return education to the states,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. “Cutting through layers of red tape in Washington is one essential piece of our final mission. As we partner with these agencies to improve federal programs, we will continue to gather best practices in each state through our 50-state tour, empower local leaders in K-12 education, restore excellence to higher education, and work with Congress to codify these reforms. Together, we will refocus education on students, families, and schools – ensuring federal taxpayer spending is supporting a world-class education system.” Eventually, President Trump plans to eliminate the agency entirely. This is just the first step of that plan. Fox News reported: The announcement follows Trump’s pledge to dismantle the agency altogether, White House spokeswoman Liz Huston told Fox News Digital Tuesday. “President Trump promised the American people he would dismantle the Department of Education. Today, Secretary McMahon is delivering on that promise with bold, decisive action to return education where it belongs — at the state and local level,” Huston said. “The Trump Administration is fully committed to doing what’s best for American students, which is why it’s critical to shrink this bloated federal education bureaucracy while still ensuring efficient delivery of funds and essential programs. The Democrat shutdown made one thing unmistakably clear: students and teachers don’t need Washington bureaucrats micromanaging their classrooms.” This is a great move in the right direction. Children’s education does not belong in the hands of the federal government. As The White House announced on X: Your thoughts?

A former Democrat New Jersey mayor who is now a police sergeant was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a child. Andrew LaBruno, who was the former mayor of Dumont and now a Jersey City Police Sergeant, was arrested after allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting a child he met online. According to police reports LaBruno met the victim at her home and then drugged her until she was incapacitated. The New York Post reported more details on the horrific crime: A Democratic ex New Jersey mayor and current police sergeant was arrested Monday for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting a child he met online, officials announced Tuesday. Jersey City Police Sgt. Andrew LaBruno, 44 — who unsuccessfully ran for a state assembly seat in the Garden State’s election earlier this month — went to the Englewood home of a child he met online Monday and sprayed “an unknown substance into his hand” before “placing it over the victim’s mouth and nose, causing the victim dizziness,” according to a criminal complaint. LaBruno, a married dad of two who is the former mayor of the Bergen County town of Dumont, then sexually assaulted the child who was “physically helpless” from the drugging — all while the victim was home alone, the complaint alleges. LaBruno, who ran on the Democratic ticket this year for the 39th legislative district in Bergen County, has been charged with aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child. Authorities said they had enough probable cause evidence to arrest LaBruno, including statements he made at the scene of the crime captured on body worn cameras, the victim’s account and “corroborating physical evidence” taken from the scene and from “actors,” the complaint says.

Andrew LaBruno met a juvenile on social media. He is accused of making arrangements to meet the child before sexually assaulting the victim at the minor’s home in Englewood. The criminal complaint says LaBruno knew the minor was physically helpless and mentally incapacitated and sprayed an unknown substance into his own hand and placed it over the victim’s mouth and nose before the alleged sex assault. LaBruno was just on the November ballot a few weeks ago and came close but lost a bid for the State Assembly in District 39. He spent a year on the Dumont Borough Council before being elected mayor, serving from 2020 to 2023. But for the last 20 years, LaBruno has been a Jersey City police officer. He has been suspended without pay following his arrest. The NJ Democrat Party ran a smear campaign against me, calling me a “Right Wing Gun Extremist” and accusing me of illegal activity, which lead to THREATS to the SAFETY of my FAMILY. At the same time, they endorsed and supported Andrew LaBruno, who is now an alleged PEDOPHILE and… pic.twitter.com/fVSi1Pco5x — Jay Costa (@JayCostaUSA) November 18, 2025

Elon Musk is back at the White House! For the first time since falling out with President Trump, Musk has returned to the White House for a classy, candlelit private dinner with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. This also marks President Trump and Elon Musk’s first time in the same room with each other since Charlie Kirk’s memorial service. Take a look: Elon Musk wasn’t the only tech billionaire to attend the formal White House dinner tonight; Jeff Bezos and Tim Cook were also in attendance. Another celebrity who attended the dinner was soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, whom President Trump introduced Barron to. The Hill reported more on the guest list: Tech titans Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos were among the guests spotted at President Trump’s black tie dinner in honor of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House on Tuesday evening. Musk was seen seated among guests in the East Room while Bezos walked in shortly after cameras were turned on. Trump addressed the roomful of guests, which also included Portuguese soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo, who was also in attendance. The president gave Ronaldo a shoutout, noting that he introduced his son Barron to the soccer star. “This room is loaded up with the biggest leaders in the world,” Trump said in remarks to guests in the East Room. Administration officials were also present at the lavish event, including Vice President Vance, second lady Usha Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) was also in attendance, as was first lady Melania Trump. It’s great to see more signs of the feud between President Trump and Elon Musk cooling down. The only thing that would have made this dinner better was if it had taken place in a big, beautiful ballroom… Your thoughts?
