Yep.
Jobs/inflation reports - hidden
ICE identification - hidden
Actual reporters booted from Pentagon - easier to hide crimes
Epstein files - still hidden
Hmmm... For the "most transparent administration ever", they sure hide a lot of things.

Sounds about right. Gotta meet their quota.
CHIRLA just dropped a heat map tracking immigration raids across L.A., and the data is telling.
