Seen any new Epstein files released lately?
So far DOJ has released a total of 12,000 — out of a total of AT LEAST 2 MILLION.
that's .6 percent. Meanwhile lame-stream media seems 100% satisfied that DOJ has met its obligation under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Media outrage would blot out the sun if Joe Biden was MC'ing an auction at his private golf club on NYE and blithely dismissing a $2 million bid for a painting as "peanuts" while Americans struggle to pay the bills and ACA health insurance premiums go up - today - by 100% or more
after bidding $100,000 for a painting during an auction at Mar-a-Lago, Trump describes $2 million as "peanuts" for another bidder and the painting eventually goes for over $2.5 million

Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Seat belts are now illegal, and also not smoking two packs per day is illegal too. Your monthly shipment of abestos is in the mail (payment upon delivery).
Exclusive: Republicans plan to challenge vehicle-safety mandates, such as automatic emergency braking and alarms that remind drivers a child is in the back seat.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.
70% of these donations went to Republicans.
Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich.
This is what oligarchy looks like.
