We are sure it’s just a coincidence, but today is the statuatory date for the DOJ to explain its redactions in the Epstein file productions.
We have not forgotten, and we won’t let up - regardless of the President’s new unconstitutional actions.

“Aut Caesar, aut nihil” was not actually said by Caesar himself. It was the personal motto of Cesare Borgia, a ruthless Italian nobleman who inspired Machiavelli’s The Prince.

Musk's "deferred resignation" contract is a TRAP.
Anyone who signs it WAIVES all rights to pursue legal action against the government -- including TO ENFORCE THE RESIGNATION AGREEMENT ITSELF.
So Musk and Trump can just break the contract, and there's nothing you can do.
