Not the best early report from Epstein survivor Annie Farmer re: Epstein files release

Farmer: "I don't feel tremendously confident that everything will come out... there's been a lot of effort, money & time put into redactions. Not to protect victims, but to protect people in power"

The decision to degrade the national cultural center of the United States by sticking the presidential oaf’s name up there in front of Kennedy’s was unanimous - once dissenters had been silenced.
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

NBC’s “National Law Enforcement Correspondent” reported not just the name of the uncharged “person of interest” in the Brown University murders, but also his DOB, and some allusions about his mental health.

You're in the Trump administration, or you're a Republican in Congress. You consider yourself a decent person. You lack the nerve directly to contradict Trump. But you COULD post your own comment on Rob Reiner to make clear Trump wasn't speaking for you.
