Shocking to learn at 13.00 that the files DOJ got from Kash Patel's FBI (for release to Congress) were already redacted by the FBI!

NEW: After Gov Jared Polis (D) told me that Tina Peters must show contrition to gain clemency, an attorney for Peters now says she "has remorse."

Peters has long maintained she did "nothing wrong" in leading a breach of Colorado's voting systems and is a political prisoner.

Fire department turns down $250,000 Google donation amid data center fight An Oklahoma fire department turned down a significant donation from Google.

I follow the news around local data center resistance fairly closely. This one stands out.

everyone is extraordinarily desperate to pretend that Donald Trump is a coherent individual with a real plan who understands what is happening in the world and none of that is true

Rep Maxwell Frost does a fantastic job explaining this!

He says more here about the Epstein files (and DEI) than Schumer & Jeffries & every Democratic rep combined!

I never heard a Democrat defend DEI & say, it's not a law, there are no quotas!

I hope he & others keep pushing #Epstein files.

The Epstein Files Coverup With Representative Maxwell Frost
YouTube video by Heather Cox Richardson The Epstein Files Coverup With Representative Maxwell Frost

It’s about more than the Epstein Files, it’s about Billionaires consolidating wealth & power & trafficking children at will because they are β€œtoo big” to be arrested. It is a global cover up.
This discussion between @hcrichardson.bsky.social & @maxwellfrost.bsky.social is worth your time!

Rep Frost is tech savvy and he prepared for his time accessing the unredacted Epstein Files. Except, the files implicating important people were handed over by the FBI already redacted to a large extent before the DOJ then redacted further.
As was news weeks ago, the FBI redactions continue today.

Trump says US Navy sank Iran's warship off the coast of Sri Lanka because "it's more fun" to sink ships than capture them.

Trump administration subpoenaing Arizona 2020 voting records, as Trump pushes to consolidate election power The administration has also obtained records from Fulton County, Georgia, as Trump continues to focus on the 2020 election he lost.

Another alarm bell in this five alarm fire.

Donald Trump is still trying to relitigate the 2020 election six years later.

He wants to scare election officials and election workers ahead of the midterms.

And he’s using the FBI to do it.

"Part of our obligation as big, powerful democracies is our ability to show a certain amount of restraint and proportionality," @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social says in discussing the Iran war. "We shouldn't be unable to say 'no, what I'm seeing with my eyes is too far...or making us less safe.'"

Your regular reminder that normal, mainstream, pro-democracy political parties do not make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform

Trump Org Files Trademarks to Put the President’s Name Front and Center at America’s 250th In one filing submitted on Friday, a β€œTrump 250” image was trademarked to be used on a variety of merchandise.

From meme coins to our nation’s 250th Anniversary, Trump continues to enrich himself off the backs of working Americans.

'Ridiculous': Kristi Noem's 28-year-old aide wasted millions on unusable ICE vehicles A former deputy to outgoing Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem saddled the department with millions of dollars in wasted funding for vehicles that cannot be used.U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcem...

A Noem aide spent $3 million on pickup trucks emblazoned with the ICE name & logo, which ICE agents -- notoriously averse to advertising their presence -- will not drive, so they're just sitting in a lot, useless. The contract went to a Trump donor who owns a regional Chevy dealership.

According to @status.news, another senior journalist, reporter Scott Macfarlane, has quit CBS rather than head in the direction Bari Weiss wants to go. A big factor: the network's meek treatment of January 6th. www.status.news/p/scott-macf...

MacFarlane covered the Justice Department.

this interview is a must watch. The DOJ has NOT unredacted files. they are complicit.

Eye opening account of the process our congressional reps go through to view the β€œunredacted” Epstein files at DOJ. Rep Frost is so thoughtful in his approach and so insightful about how this fits into the bigger picture. HCR is a great interviewer. This is a must-watch.

Cosign. If you actually read the Bible, it has nothing whatsoever to say about abortion, but a LOT to say about seeking justice and caring for widows and orphans.
