The DOJ is now online commenting on posts, claiming information they released in the Epstein files is fake and shouldn’t be trusted. The desperation is obvious.

Not a historian but like to research. The AI might summarize what I'm looking for, but it doesn't find what I'm *not* looking for. The book on the shelf next to the one I wanted. The insight in chapter 6 based on the quote I needed from chapter 4.

SCOTUS just curbed nationwide injunctions, backing Trump’s birthright order. But this cuts both ways—a future Dem could ban AR-15s via EO, and blue states could enforce it right away. Red states would sue, but it’d land in SCOTUS. What goes around, comes around. 😏
