Yes, they've probably been so heavily redacted (or edited/altered?) as to be absolutely useless.

As others have pointed out, by ordering Bondi to start a new Epstein investigation, Trump has set it up so she can say the files can't be released due to a (new) ongoing investigation--even if the House and Senate vote to release and Trump himself signs it.

1. More arrest photos from this protest are emerging: e.g., Lutheran pastor Rev. Luke Harris-Ferree, wearing a clerical collar and a shirt that reads โ€œBad Theology Kills.โ€

(Photos via Harris-Ferreeโ€™s FB and Mennonite Actionโ€™s Instagram, linked in next post.)

I wonder if the book @gilduran.com is writing will include anything about white evangelical Christians. From what he said recently it will address Silicon Valley and white nationalism. The book is โ€œThe Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Global Democracy.โ€

Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Secretly Got Money From $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts The company is run by the husband of Noemโ€™s chief DHS spokesperson and has personal and business ties to Noem and her aides. DHS invoked the โ€œemergencyโ€ at the border to skirt competitive bidding rule...

This is the most corrupt presidential administration in American history and itโ€™s not even close.

They fought to stop Americans from getting food stamps while pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into their own pockets. www.propublica.org/article/kris...

The Future is Terror Trumpism ushered in an era of threats, intimidation and retribution. It is getting worse.

Even before Trump returned to the White House, I wrote: "Trump has normalized retribution as a proper scope of presidential action and the use of political power. Terror becomes the perverted populist funhouse mirror of patriotism."

I would say that he is a fool and a weakling but that would imply that his trade war was ever anything else but a scam to generate insider information so friends and family could get rich shorting stocks. (2/2)

Of the last 5 Republicans to be House speaker, one was a child molester (Dennis Hastert) and one actively tried to cover up a child sex trafficking ring (Mike Johnson).

I thought Trumpelstiltskin based part of his compaign on his belief* that Christians are under attack and he was going to fix that.
* He doesn't actually believe most of what he says.

Man films Border Patrol agents smashing his car window in Charlotte Willy Aceituno, a Honduran-born U.S. citizen, was stopped twice by Border Patrol agents in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Homeland Security is not protecting us. Itโ€™s terrorizing us.

On one hand, Vance and his beliefs and his scheming frighten me. OTOH, he is a galumphing oaf. Unfortunately, Trump has proven that the latter is not a dealbreaker.

The Trump family is chasing another real estate deal in Saudi Arabia.

And the Saudis want a mutual defense agreement and access to U.S. nuclear technology.

Looks like Trump and the royal family will both win, with our national security for sale. The only losers? The American people.

"[Trump] worked around the clock." Yes, Mike, he did. He worked to oversee the construction of his ballroom while people are worrying about affording food and health care.

Schumer Begged 2028 Dem Contenders Not to Criticize Shutdown Deal The Senate minority leader was well aware the shutdown deal would face backlash across the Democratic Party.

Schumer reached out to leading presidential contenders to try and mute criticism of the deal, calling Josh Shapiro, Andy Beshear, JB Pritzker, and Gavin Newsom

While Schumer voted against it, the Dems behind the shutdown deal said the minority leader was aware of their plan. trib.al/ZdLbRJV

Trump Organization Is Said to Be in Talks on a Saudi Government Real Estate Deal

This coming week, Trump will host Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi leader who approved the murder and dismemberment of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Not coincidentally, the Saudis are working on a new business deal with the Trump Organization.
It's blood money โ€“ or bonesaw money.

This is more than a little disturbing, largely because it seems very possible. She says she hopes Trump returns to his MAGA roots, which means she's still steeped in MAGA. Some consultants just finally convinced her to stop talking about Jewish space lasers, QAnon, and other whackadoodle stuff.

Marjorie Taylor Greene was hired, trained, and paid by tech oligarchs & others from the very beginning to be a political troublemaker. With Trumpโ€™s downfall looming, Greene is now being strategically groomed to be JD Vanceโ€™s vice president.

Mark my words.
