In the middle of this discussion, Director Bhattacharya felt obliged to interject something about institutes running their own review offices.
He said "It's like grading your own homework".
When I heard this, I literally said out loud "What the actual fuck?"

Remember, the full Epstein Files are well over 6 million pages long.
What you have seen so far is the *least offensive* 3 million pages.
Trump and his lawyers are hiding the other 3 million pages—and have made clear that they will never ever release them, federal law be damned.

If we can't vote to reign in ICE, we need to shut the government down again.
Shutting down the government is one of the last things I want, but it's necessary when one's government is killing its citizens.

My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.
