By releasing less than 1% of the files in the custody of DOJ, and doctoring even those released to eliminate references to Trump and his entourage,Trump is further inflaming his Epstein problem. He's behaving like a man who believes the files, if released, will destroy him. Maybe they will.

Before and after DOJ realized they left Trump’s name in an Epstein document:
🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.

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

See for yourself.

I'm old enough to remember that Richard Nixon erased portions of the Watergate tapes.

Everyone knew it was a cover-up.

Just as everyone knows there's a cover-up now.

Forget about the nonsense stories like the Kennedy Center being renamed or whatever Bari Weiss is doing

At least 3,800 immigrant children were detained in 2025. Now, kids are not supposed to be kept more than 20 days

At least 1,300 of them have been held longer than 20 days-some for over 4 months

Goldman: This guy is so clearly trying to follow the Putin model—using the government to make money, making sure his allies control the most important companies in the country, including our media companies, doling out money by deregulating their industries, and taking money from them in return…

Whoa…. Well, I am not sure that the Canadian demand will ever return to the pre-tariff levels. All self inflicted by 🍊💩
It’s impossible to overstate what a big deal this is for this legendary Kentucky brand. The last time Jim Beam closed down like this was during Prohibition. Trump’s tariffs & fight with Canada are surely to blame.

Putin didn’t want Kellogg. He wouldn’t be pliable enough for Russian demands, and was “too hostile.”

Putin wanted a negotiator who “didn’t know much about Russia” and would reliably echo Putin's lines on Ukraine.
Hence the insistence that Witkoff meet Putin without U.S. government or CIA officials.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

It also lets you see if and when that factory was inspected for quality and safety violations.
