DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

No, Jews around the world don't suffer because of the actions of the government of Israel. Jews around the world suffer because antisemites use the actions of the government of Israel to justify attacks on Jews. And if you make the same association, you're also an antisemite.

I cannot express how dangerous DOJ's actions are to free and fair elections in 2026 and 2028. Access to and the misuse of this data is almost certain to be the central fight for the 2026 midterms. Yet, too few are paying attention and treating this as seriously as they should.

Republicans just voted 51-49 AGAINST extending ACA tax credits and lowering health care prices.
Now premiums will spike 75 percent starting in January.
They had the entire year to find a solution on health care and delivered nothing.

I don’t know what the Supreme Court will do, but I am confident that at the District Court level it is still the case that the Pentagon cannot recall a sitting US Senator to active duty in order to court martial him for something he said. Article 1, Section 6, among other constitutional provisions.
