How can any prosecutor worth his salt suggest in light of evidence like this Epstein did not run a sex-trafficking ring? Todd Blanche needs to step down. And Patel.

Massie on Howard Lutnick: "He should just resign. Three people in Great Britain resigned for less than what we've seen Howard Lutnick lie about. He clearly went to the island, if we believe what's in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein."

LAWLER: Renaming infrastructure projects is not a new concept

I'm no expert on search functionality, but is this a smoking hot gun as to the corruption of the process. Why redact "don't" in ordinary sentences? And why search for any name or moniker in the files? Shouldn't they be reading the documents and considering redaction issues on each person regardless?
Two copies of an innocuous email from the Epstein files. numbers visible in upper left). Note how on the first the word "don't" is redacted. WHY would a DOJ lawyer redact that word? No human would. But an AI PROGRAM searching for "Don T" would ignore the punctuation and auto-delete.

Florida voters just sued Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) to block what they call a “unilateral” and unauthorized mid-decade redistricting plan.

The lawsuit targets DeSantis’s attempt to bypass the legislature — part of a broader GOP effort to rig the 2026 midterms for Donald Trump.

The thing is, back in the day if you wanted to become a conspiracy theorist you had to go to a meeting, probably in a dodgy pub, with some really nasty looking guys who'd hand you a pamphlet written by Barry and that meant they were relatively few. The Internet has made becoming a nutter costless.

I was reliably told that mandatory detention as a default rule was fine. Nothing to see.
NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress.

“She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me.

But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.
