Scoop from @semafor.com: Wash Post & NYT knew of Trump’s illegal attack on Venezuela & agreed to stay silent at Trump’s request. An indefensible failure. This makes them State media. Drop them.

Mar-a-Lago Was Key to Jeffrey Epstein’s Criminal Enterprise
New reporting shows that Trump’s split with his pedophile friend was opportunistic.

This simply cannot continue going forward if we are ever going to become a Republic of laws & equal rights for everyone. We can’t have our military being drip-fed far right authoritarian misinformation on a daily basis.
worse than info vacuum, as every military base has Fox playing 24/7
“Just have the servicemembers follow their oath” sounds clean and simple in a skeet. In real life it’s anything but and it’s not practicable as a genuine check on civilian leaders. You’re asking young people with high school educations to make legal, constitutional decisions in an info-vacuum.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

I want to remind everyone that the US has sanctioned members of the International Criminal Court for going through a formal legal process to identify international leaders who engaged in war crimes, making them vulnerable to arrest.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Why wasn't congressional authorization necessary?
RUBIO: It wasn't necessary because this was not an invasion. We didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation.
