You’ll recall I told you that if Bondi violated the Epstein Files Transparency Act, it would trigger a lawsuit. That’s what Schumer’s resolution does. It directs the Senate Majority Leader to file federal civil action against the government over failure to release the Epstein files. 1/

Turning Point USA calls me and other teachers “radical” for teaching honest history.
But here’s the truth: THEY are the indoctrinators.
They don’t teach inquiry.
They don’t teach evidence.

The Oath Keepers built a massive stockpile of guns for Jan 6th and kept them in a hotel in Virginia because of D.C.'s strict gun laws.
BREAKING: The Trump administration is suing D.C. over its ban on semi-automatic (AR-15) weapons.

DOJ's Civil Rights Division under Harmeet Dhillon is seeking a court ruling that D.C.'s law "prohibiting registration of the AR-15 by law-abiding citizens violates the Second Amendment."

That’s it for CBS. We should no longer watch anything produced by this media platform.

Fox reports that that while many of the redactions to the Epstein Files were made to protect victims’ identities, “the same redaction standards were applied to politically exposed individuals and government officials.”

In other words, DOJ admits that they edited Trump and his pals out.

So, you ask, if they can’t just do a simple thing like release the files as the law requires, how can we trust them to do hard things like run the economy and keep us safe?

The answer, of course, is that we can’t. We can never trust they can and will do the right thing.
Lawless shambolic shitshow.

Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.
