The Justice Department asked a New York federal court to unseal grand jury testimony related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Courts have previously refused to release the testimony, citing rules that protect grand jury secrecy.

Justice Dept. again asks for Epstein grand jury testimony to be unsealed
The move is the first step the department has taken since Congress compelled the release of more files, though Trump could direct the release of such information without the courts.

My Old Dog, much quieter at night now.
Slept in, has to be easier sleep for him!
Scratch as I woke, Big hug shared,
off to wait for breakfast and drink.
Seemed so much more alert as we wandered!
Found couple of sticks. Carried on home.
Life returning to normal, even his naps.

28-point plan was prepared by a narrow circle around Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff.
He worked directly with Russian representatives without involving key American agencies and without consulting with allies.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin says police responded to her home tonight in response to a bomb threat. Slotkin wasn't at home at the time.
This is two days after Trump said Slotkin and other Democrats committed "seditious conspiracy, punishable by death."

When your primary interest is power and money, it makes a very difficult to support rule of law and the constitution.
Supporting power and money on a government leadership position is a recipe for disaster.

Federalism has been a giant cinder block around Trump's ankle on a lot of things. If you decide that federalism - of which the president and EC was supposed to be a symbol - sucks, then you'd better be ready to undo a lot of other stuff, too.
