MeidasTouch is wrong here. These images are from two different filings in the Giuffre v Maxwell, suit with different dates. In 2024, she re-filed material with Trump's name un-redacted. It was a scandal, it got news! Both versions are in Bondi's Epstein dump and both remain up. No one deleted. 1/
🚨 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.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

I love this. Not because of the dunking on you know who (x2 at least), but because it is a reminder of the pure, simple pleasures of life.
Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

I don’t know. I don’t like it, myself. But there is an argument to be made that this fixes SNAP and air travel + makes the House come back into session (because it will have to consider the new resolution), which seats Grijalva. And the House likely wont take the deal because Trump says not to.
