Jamal is missed in this discourse. As Trump hosts his murderer, its a good time to read his final column and to realize that Trump is embracing the person who took him out. For what? Calling for freedoms. Rest in power.
I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

Looks like yes but there will be redactions. That doesnt mean that we wont have leaks or be able to figure out what the redactions are about. The bumbling administration has allowed this info to be in too many hands and its bound to leak if ppl are getting away with stuff. Stuff=pedophilia.
Will we actually see the Epstein files? I hope so. But with President Trump’s Justice Department run by Pam Bondi, expect stonewalling and strategic redactions.

Mike Johnson opens his mouth and lies pour out. I cant believe that anyone takes him seriously. He is a puppet and a bad one at that. I see him and I think "disingenuous"...I believe that his deal to be leader has a way to take him out. They should do that. He is helping no one and nothing.
Mike Johnson lies shamelessly: "The president of the United States supports maximum transparency."

This is a cautionary tale. We tried to tell them. Now we know what has to be changed and what has to be protected, but at the same time, so much damage has been done. We need new laws about all of this.
i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate
This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.

Why? Because Trump has lost control of this vote...and of the story. What a pathetic way for this to end. I can think of so many things that he coulda said along the way but instead its denials and lies. They cant kill this story, so he filpped, so we wont see how many were gonna vote to release.
