No more games and no more hiding. Sunshine is the best disinfectant. We will release the names. That’s what the law says—and no amount of redacting by DOJ is going to change that.

Around 2020, we were told that US political & corporate elites had been gripped by "wokeness" & thus become obsessed with climate change & diversity. This wokeness was alleged to be so severe & monomaniacal that it threatened the entire culture & economy.

Exactly. It's like every 4 year ping pong. That's why I don't think we will ever gain the world's trust again. Because the world must be thinking what if a Democrat does win in 2028 and then in another 4 years another MAGA wins and then we are back here again.
