New FBI docs reveal the agency destroyed its master copy of the Epstein jail surveillance video—then scrambled to reconstruct it, releasing footage with a missing minute. DOJ later blamed a “nightly reset,” but experts called that implausible.

WHY was key evidence destroyed in the first place? 1/2

CNN confirms what MSNBC reported live a few hours ago: DOJ is surveilling Dem lawmakers when they go to the DOJ to search unredacted Epstein files.

Republicans ask Supreme Court to block states from counting legally cast mail ballots If the Court sides with the RNC, millions of voters who depend on mail-in voting could be disenfranchised.

NEW: The Republican National Committee (RNC) is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to dramatically restrict mail-in voting nationwide and asking the justices to rule that ballots arriving after Election Day — even if mailed on time under state law — should not be counted.

People should pay attention to this story. Trump actually tries his "you're fired" shtick, directly!! But it's mere words!! Because the guy has a (good) union (which is smartly making a symbol of this story)

Ford meanwhile suspended him immediately and surely would have fired absent union action

Administration is just rounding up people showing us what the administration is doing.

Lawmakers say some Epstein files remain redacted despite DOJ's pledge Reps. Jamie Raskin and Jared Moskowitz told reporters key documents retained redactions despite the DOJ's pledge that members of Congress could view the full files.

Breaking MS NOW:

Some of the Epstein docs the DOJ invited members of Congress to view are STILL redacted, despite promises otherwise.

Raskin says DOJ's reading room has just four computers. It would take seven years to get through the files in the current conditions established by the DOJ.

Immigrants at ICE’s Adelanto detention center denounce lack of medical care and “inhumane” conditions A federal lawsuit by immigrants detained at the ICE facility alleges they’re treated like “dogs in cages” and denied food and water.

In ICE detention camps, “disease and illness are rampant, mold grows on the walls, and detained individuals are denied sufficient food, clean drinking water, proper medical care, and disability accommodations”.

ICE is a scourge of humanity, and also of public health.

When she returned to the DNI’s office, she directed that the intelligence not be distributed any further…

Hi Tomhoman, thanks for the thoughtful suggestion that we locals in MN end the resistance.

We’ve considered it and would like to make a counteroffer. To wit:

1) No
2) Never
3) Fuck you
4) You, Bovino, Noem, etc go to prison for decades.

Sound good? Great. Here’s $50k in a takeout bag.
…Kidding!
