In June,’13 I penned the language that would legalize industrial hemp production in the 2014 Farm Bill. On July 4 we flew a hemp flag over the US Capitol. We opened the barn door; an industry was birthed (to the chagrin of DEA Administrator Leonhart). #Section7606

By essentially redacting most photos but Epstein and Bill Clinton, the DOJ is further undermining any pretense that the agency is anything other than a Trump goon squad. And for what, bc this ploy is not going to pass muster with victims.

This is a photo from the Vanity Fair article. Notice how they have to arrange it so Stephen Miller is on the end, so it isn’t obvious that there is no reflection of him on the mirrored table.🧛

Q: If DOJ doesn't release the files it has by next Friday, is there anything Congress can do to compel that to happen?
MASSIE: It's a crime if they don't. This is a new law with criminal implications if they don't follow it.

Funny, didn't see this on @nbcnews.com. Tommy?
We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).

Rep. Adelita Grijalva was pepper-sprayed by ICE agents during a raid last week.
Remember: ICE is getting $170B in new funding from Trump's Big Ugly Bill and lowering its hiring standards.
If Trump's thugs can do this to a member of Congress, they can do it to you.

For the first time, the Kennedy Center Awards were presented in the tiny Oval Office instead of the Kennedy Center For Performing Arts. Donald used his now-vulgar Oval Office for the ceremony to avoid the embarrassment of TV audiences seeing an almost empty theater.
