This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release.
AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

Coming back to this, I'm still struck by the implication that academics should care if the AI pushers "trust" all our work that's done without AI.
I don't know, man, you all seemed to trust our work enough to steal it from us wholesale.

I would struggle to trust an academic who doesn‘t know how to

Which is not the same as not being critical.

Your reminder that the Purcell "principle" is "it is always too close to the next election for a ruling that would benefit Democrats, and it is never too close to the next election for a ruling that would benefit Republicans"
A question we got from a reader:
“How can they say it’s ’too close to the election’ to make changes in Texas when the new maps themselves were just drawn!? Isn’t that ‘too close to the election’ too?”

U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

Four years after her double lung transplant, 21-year-old Hannah’s body was at war with itself.

The generic drug she took to prevent organ rejection should have been working. She didn't know the FDA doesn’t always ensure that’s the case. 🧵

According to the attorneys behind the lawsuit, this is one of the last civil actions challenging Trump’s role in the attack on the Capitol. If the court dismisses the case, it will mean there are “no legal means to try to hold President Trump accountable for his role on January 6, 2021,”
Barbara Lee is still fighting in court to hold Donald Trump accountable for Jan. 6
Many other cases against Trump — criminal and civil — have failed, but following a Washington D.C. court hearing, Lee and others said they believe they can win.
