This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

For anyone wondering: For my own family, this could mean the difference between $25,000 in healthcare expenses next year...or $40,000.
On January 6, the House will finally vote on whether to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits
We need FOUR Republicans to do the right thing and vote yes, and ideally more to put pressure on the Senate
If we succeed, millions will be saved from financial ruin. Let’s go!

As an aside: The $215 figure itself may technically be accurate…but again, it’s also irrelevant since they simply denied coverage to anyone they didn’t want, didn’t have to cover much of anything for those they *did* sell to, had stingy caps on claims etc etc etc.

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.

Trump is breaking the law to protect himself by not releasing the entirety of the Epstein Files
It's okay to say the truth. You might even win back some of the reputation you've lost if you do
It's okay to say the truth. You might even win back some of the reputation you've lost if you do
The Justice Department released more than 13,000 files on Friday arising from investigations into the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and said more documents would be released in the coming weeks. Here are takeaways about what the first batch of files did and did not divulge.
6 Takeaways From the First Batch of the Epstein Files
Many of the Justice Department documents were heavily redacted, and President Trump’s name was rarely mentioned. The White House also sought to make political hay of the release of photos of Bill Clinton.
