An important side note about today's Epstein/Trump revelations.

They show that Todd Blanche's questioning of Maxwell was either (a) completely incompetent; or (b) intentionally crafted not to elicit facts incriminating Trump.

Either way, he is not fit to serve as Deputy Attorney General.

Todd Blanche would have had these emails before interviewing Maxwell. Why didn’t he question her directly about her exchanges? Why did he not follow up when she said things that were onviously a lie?? This shows that was a performance intended to dupe the public and benefit her (and Trump)

Releasing the Epstein files could have a chilling effect on future presidents' ability to hide their history of raping children on a private island owned by a convicted sex offender.

No denial that Trump is weighing a *commutation* for Maxwell, which is what she reportedly is seeking from him

In the overflow room at the courthouse and there was bigtime applause for @brianstraw.bsky.social and counsel for making this stand on the bond condition of surrendering passports. Taking this principled stand against the government on the condition of Kavanaugh stops is essential.
Chris Parente, attorney for Brian Straw, objects to his client turning over his passport. The reason Straw went to Broadview, he says, is the feds' "demanding of passports … for people who appear to be a certain skin color."

I'm waiting to hear some Turley type telling me it's not that Trump is worried about what's in these documents. It's about preserving the institutional statutory rape prerogatives of the office for future presidents.

Q: Is there anything in the deal to stop the mass firings?

EMMER: No. The president is not gonna bring back the people they fired. They were unnecessary.

Q: So some of the Russ Vought stuff will stick?

EMMER: All of the stuff they've done is sticking.

Kudos to the Fulerton PD for acting to stop a potential kidnapping or shooting. ICE and the DoJ should investigate the ICE agents outrageous assault by an out-of-control agent who wasn't sporting any ID.

We need more like this by the Fullerton PD.

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.
