WASHINGTON (AP) -- House Democrats released a selection of photos from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein on Friday, including some of Donald Trump, Bill Clinton and the former Prince Andrew. The 19 photos released by Democratic lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee were a small part of more than 95,000 they received from the estate of Epstein, who died in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting sex trafficking charges. The photos released Friday were separate from the case files that the Department of Justice is now compelled to release. The photos were released without captions or context and included a black-and-white image of Trump alongside six women whose faces were blacked out. The committee did not say why their faces were blacked out.

It's another major blow to the Justice Department after the dismissal of earlier charges against James and another longtime Trump foe, former FBI Director James Comey, in a stunning rebuke of the Trump administration's efforts to prosecute the president's political opponents.

This holiday season isn't quite so merry for American shoppers as large shares are dipping into savings, scouring for bargains and feeling like the overall economy is stuck in a rut under President Donald Trump, a new AP-NORC poll finds. The vast majority of U.S. adults say they've noticed higher than usual prices for groceries, electricity and holiday gifts in recent months, according to the survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Roughly half of Americans say it's harder than usual to afford the things they want to give as holiday gifts, and similar numbers are delaying big purchases or cutting back on nonessential purchases more than they would normally.

Ben Palen " a Kansas native and a fifth-generation farmer and agriculture consultant " blasted President Donald Trump's repeat tactic of putting farmers in distress and then dangling tax-funded salvation before them and hungry developers. "[T]he Trump administration will provide several billion dollars in bailouts to farmers, with an emphasis on corn and soybean growers," Palen wrote in the Kansas Reflector. "... Predictably, political dances followed the announcement, with various farm groups issuing statements supporting release of this money." "It's pathetic," Palen wrote. "It's especially so when the Republican sycophants who represent Kansas farmers fall all over themselves to pay homage to Trump. How about some honest conversations about what this regime has done to American farmers via a patchwork of actions that show little understanding of international trade and so many other issues?"

ERIKA KIRK WENT ON FOX NEWS on Wednesday to mark the three-month anniversary of her husband Charlie's assassination. But her goal wasn't just to commemorate that tragic moment.

Without naming Owens, Erika Kirk jabbed at an unnamed person making "hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode going after the people that I love." "My message to them is to stop"to stop," Kirk said, turning directly to the camera. As the segment ended, Kirk held up her late husband's new, posthumously published book and said its title, giving it an imperative intonation to reinforce the apparent message to Owens: "Stop, in the Name of God."

Bredar (Maryland) has largely denied motions to dismiss filed by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), TKO Group Holdings, and Vince and Linda McMahon in the "Ring Boys" child sexual abuse case, allowing the majority of survivors' claims to proceed to discovery. A detailed memorandum held that plaintiffs plausibly alleged WWE's duty and knowledge, and that claims against the defendants may move forward."

Heritage Action @Heritage_Action President Trump has made it clear to Indiana leaders: if the Indiana Senate fails to pass the map, all federal funding will be stripped from the state.
