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.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

This ad from the far-right Heritage Foundation repeats threats made directly by Trump, Vance, and others: "Do exactly as Trump wants, or he will cut off all funding for your state."
Hopefully these types of threats, which underline that Trump is a dangerous dictator wanna-be, will backfire bigly.
