This is an impeachment offense. One of many but this is a very clear red letter violation of the law.
BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

It's really time to hold Murdoch accountable for this. Not that any of the Murdochs are squeamish about this. But they like being accepted in polite company and this stench should stick on them.

“We owe it to our young people not to lie to them anymore. A democracy whose citizens operate with fundamentally different understandings of the past and its implications cannot sustain itself.”
I spent October traveling to schools throughout the South talking to students about American history. What I found were young people who understand we can tell a story that includes both the positive and the negative. As one 8th grader in Memphis said, “Doesn’t seem that hard, just say both things.”

US citizens being swept up in ICE arrests: 'We’re now a country where you have to bring your papers around'
The Supreme Court has given ICE free reign to stop and detain people based on nothing more than appearance, accent, job, or location, and this dragnet is now sweeping up U.S. citizens. University of Toronto professor and fascism expert Jason Stanley warns that "we are now a country where you have to bring your papers around." Furthermore, Stanley says that "if you instill fear in Black and brown citizens that they will have this interaction with ICE, they're much less likely to show up" to vote or participate in civic life.

Lying Mike Johnson claims the last government shutdown was in 2013. The last TWO federal shutdowns were during Trump’s last term. Trump has been responsible for close to 2/3 of all federal shutdown days in US history.
Mike Johnson: "We congratulate them on an apparently violent-free speech exercise ... but if President Trump was a king, the government would be open right now ... by the way, the Mall was open because President Trump hasn't closed it."

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.
The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

Stephen Miller: "Eventually elections don’t carry the day because violence beats votes… When we see a muscular response from the federal government, it’s because we’re not going to let violence beat votes."
Is he implying federal intervention determines political legitimacy, not ballots or courts?
