🤔 So Republicans don’t understand why releasing the Epstein files is such a big deal either?

Apple removed an app to preserve TikToks, IG reels, news reports, and videos documenting abuses by ICE.

Eyes Up, was an aggregation service pooling information to preserve evidence for future prosecutions.

Why is this a bad thing?

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses

Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

Jack Ciattarelli's campaign is truly a masterclass in self-sabotage. Dismissing Black and Latino voters, saying tariffs are "okay" for New Jerseyans & having Feds investigate his illegal release of Mikie Sherrill’s records? It's not just a bad week, it's a whole mood

Great but chilling column.

“We should be exceedingly clear:
There is no crisis in Chicago that requires the Nat’l Guard. To the extent that there is civil instability in Chicago it has been caused by Trump’s surge of federal agents into the city & their lawless assault on the citizens of Chicago”

Republicans voted against it each time.

Trump's federal agents are terrorizing communities across America, but leaders like Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are fighting back.

Mayor of Chicago Brandon Johns speaking with text: We will not tolerate ICE agents violating our residents' constitutional rights nor will we allow the federal government to disregard our local authority. ICE agents are detaining elected officials, tear-gassing protestors, children, and Chicago police officers, and abusing Chicago residents.
We will not stand for that in our city."

If people preventing the Epstein files from being released are named in them, or trying to indefinitely delay their release at the direction of some who is named, how is that not obstruction?
Add it to the growing list of illegal behavior by the Regime.
