Anyone seen an article explaining how we'll know that the Epstein files Congress is handed haven't been excessively sanitized?

I would LOVE it if one of these reporters would respond with "Well, you're a terrible president, so we're even. At least I didn't double the US death rate from COVID compared to other nations by my inability to understand science."
It shouldn’t take nineteen clips to prove the point, but here they are anyway.
Montage of 19 clips of Trump insulting, berating, demeaning and attacking female reporters over the past few months. Part 1.

FB decided I was a bot or something and suspended me pending analysis of a “bideo selfie” it made me submit.

I need to stop hoping for a decent glazed raised from Dunks.
Today was high humidity, low-moisture day, so I thought “SURELY today they will have a non-damp (fully cooked) donut with glaze that is slightly crunchy as the sugar re-crystalizes on the exterior!”
No.
Damp donut. Liquid glaze.
Sad.

NEW: In his first interview since his arrest for protesting outside the Chicago-area ICE facility, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social tells me he has "bruises all over my body."

Even so, he said, “the cruelty that goes on that facility … must be 100 times worse." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

Northern half of the US: go look outside through your smartphone camera, also try naked eye.
Rest of the US: check local news - visibility is unusually south-ish.

Aurora visible by phone camera across the northern parts of the US tonight, and maybe tomorrow. Best viewing times are usually between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m.
I just went outside and it's on, although not as great as May of last year. Could easily improve.
The apps I use are SpaceWeatherLive and Aurora.

there are 47 Democrats in the Senate, and 7 of them (and 1 Independent) voted with the Republicans.
Why are 7 of them being called 'all the Democrats?'

The extent to which shitty centrist journalism rests on the same thing as Trump, the never-identified "some people say, everyone says" etc. including "critics say" here is a zombie move, lifeless yet vengeful.
