Many elected Democrats are still blind (or in complete denial) about what's happening and statements like this make that very obvious.

The FBI Redacted Trump’s Name in the Epstein Files The bureau’s FOIA team tasked with conducting a final review of the records blacked out the names before higher-ups said last month that releasing the documents β€˜would not be appropriate or warranted....

NEW FOIA Files SCOOP: The FBI redacted Trump’s nameβ€”and the names of other prominent public figuresβ€”from the Epstein files under two privacy exemptions before DOJ & FBI concluded β€œno further disclosure” of the files β€œwould be appropriate or warranted.”

My hope for this film is that this 2018 Senate Intelligence Committee hearing is accurately recreated in perfect detail, including my platinum blond hair taking a pic in the background

Maybe theyre doing a different timeline of events that'll be cleared up in future films but it annoyed me and probably many others who know that Supergirl is older than Kal-El and has memory of Krypton

I was annoyed at some of the holes like how Superman didnt know about his parents' message, but also he already knew Supergirl only 3 years into being Superman? Why couldnt she just tell him about Krypton?

I liked it a lot. It was fun and entertaining. Also Hoult was *perfect* as Lex.

Schumer claimed an obscure statue that allows them to obtain the Epstein files with a simple written request. Unfortunately for him, the White House could just refuse, as they do with all things, leading to years of back and forth in the courts. Don't expect anything soon.

If I recall, Michael Knowles or Ben Shapiro (one of those dorks) did this but for a "reasons to vote for Democrats" book. It sold a lot of copies. I'm think I should do this

Would it be wrong/unethical/worth it to publish and sell a book titled "The Epstein Files" but it's full of blank pages?

Just to reiterate: What this administration is doing right now is orders of magnitude more dangerous for academic freedom and free speech than anything the right has spent the last 30 years complaining about.

This highlight reel seems to lump in the funnel drill in which there's 2 vs 2 with each team having a down lineman. I'm specifically talking about the 1 vs 1, on your backs and head to head Oklahoma drill.

The Society-Deforming Spectacle of Jubilee Julia Alexander on the outrage-mongering 'debate' format sweeping the nation.

Jubilee is very terrible, yes. But I've always been against debating anything outside of political campaigns and congressional procedure. All other disputes should just be settled by having the two relevant parties suit up in full pads and do the Oklahoma drill www.thebulwark.com/p/the-societ...

Trump to Hill Republicans: I Will Make Your Summer Hell It's Demoralized White Boy Summer on Capitol Hill.

NEW: It's Demoralized White Boys Summer over on Capitol Hill.

Between Trump demanding Republican senators skip their summer break and the Epstein scandal driving Republican representatives in circles, there's awkwardness and confusion all around.
