Northridge Mall in Salinas CA has maybe the best food court I've ever been at. Better than places like the Chelsea market or Urban Hawker in NYC. Authentic Mexican for agribusiness workers and other ethnic restaurants with great results.

jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation
![. . . very cooperative, but the police at that point had to let [redacted] know that what she had done that she could be facing charges.
Q And that was after they had told her earlier that she didn't need an attorney present, correct?
A Exactly.
Q Okay. So this happens to her with the Palm Beach Police Department and did the Palm Beach Police actually present or propose charging [redacted]?
A They did get a probable cause affidavit against [redacted].
Q And is that why Ms. [redacted] and her attorney were concerned about her testimony here?
A Yes.
Q Now was a subpoena issued for Ms. [redacted] on behalf of this grand jury?
A Yes, it was.
Q And before Ms. [redacted] would comply with that, did she -- did her attorney request some sort of order?
A Yes.
Q And what did he ask for?
A He asked for immunity for [redacted].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eoss3vmzem55cm5kuddhdmwn/bafkreiariijffjjrgfh26o22jjr76pwprinvnbpkcho5lyi2sucfbqlooy@jpeg)

The Biden DOJ had a perfectly legal avenue to release this to the public—a response to a FOIA request. They may have even been legally obligated to produce it in response to the FOIA request. And they decided not to, to protect Donald Trump’s reputation? What?
Found the Associated Press article where the existence of this letter was first disclosed two years ago, in response to a FOIA request
It's definitely real

I trust major news organizations, members of Congress, and public interest groups are publicizing their secure tip lines so DOJ and FBI employees with knowledge of political interference in the Epstein files review process, can explain safely and confidentially what they saw.

This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release.
AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

They redacted Melinda Gates and kept Bill Gates in the photo to make it look like he was with a victim.
Note that Melinda Gates is the very rare person who puts their wedding ring on their right hand and the ring is about the same size as the one in the picture.

I think I am rare on here for believing Obamacare>single payer>Republican healthcare plans.
But Obamacare manages to have a great deal of advantages over single payer systems.
1. Better medical professional pay, so doctors don't struggle with near poverty as in the British system.

Striking doctors are amazingly far out of touch with the public on this. They're cynically targeting the winter NHS pinch point, amid rising flu, like tube drivers trying to wreck Christmas retail sales. It's tin-eared.
