There is no basis to withhold these images under the clear terms of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. None.
WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.

Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.

Now, it’s gone.

Washington Post's new headline is still wrong.

1. The release was not "huge."
2. DOJ missed the deadline to release all the files.
3, No mention of extensive redactions.

Yes, this is a real government ad…

“Are you a white male who has experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex?”

In a country built on centuries of actual discrimination, the EEOC is using civil rights language to insulate white male mediocrity from competition.

This week, Professor James Hansen and colleagues published projections that the global temperature record could reach +1.7°C by 2027.
And if that number lands in your gut the way it landed in mine, good. It should.

This is the worst case scenario that everybody was worried about
It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.

It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.

And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Why is it dangerous to not have national and global recommendations for health measures and metrics?

Surely it’s fine to just let things be a consult between doctor and patient. Individualised care?

My friends.

Without recommendations that consult doesn’t even get booked.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

ICE grabbed Julio Cesar Pena from his front yard just days after being discharged from hospital after a heart attack.

He’s also battling end stage kidney disease.

He says he fears he will die in ICE custody.

I’ve said it before. I’ve listen to this over and over again.

From people that can’t climb a flight of stairs anymore.

“They aren’t high risk.”

Because it’s scary to think you are abandoned, an outsider, expendable.

It’s not just the dying that scares people. It’s the dying alone.
Every single person over 50 that I knew at the time bailed on masking immediately.

Every. Single. One.

The high-risk categories also named people with cancer, the immunocompromised, etc…

All of whom were a bit slower to drop masking, but they soon bailed too. (2/7)
