“Bondi’s notes, however, captured by a Reuters photographer, pointed to an element that we weren’t aware of: The DOJ is apparently surveilling what documents among the Epstein files members are looking for.”

Justice Department accused of surveilling lawmakers’ Epstein files search history
As the dust settled on the partisan circus, there was a new controversy that had nothing to do with Bondi’s antics and everything to do with her notes.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

Illinois is one of the few states in the middle of the country that protects the right to comprehensive reproductive healthcare.
Supporting care here means supporting access for people who have nowhere else to turn.

But as Smith JUST EXPLAINED, prosecutors got Roy's phone records (bc of his contacts with Scott Perry) before Smith was appointed.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Velshi Banned Book Club: ‘Cemetery Boys’ by Aiden Thomas
A deft exploration of identity, self-acceptance, and the power of first love, “Cemetery Boys” by Aiden Thomas is a masterclass in why fantasy isn’t just such a popular genre, but why it is used so often to explore complex topics. When exploring a nuanced and complicated topic like transgender identity and understanding, fantasy helps make it more tangible to readers. “We’re talking about heavy stuff,” says Thomas, “I’m always going to ease it a little bit with a little magic and mystery.”
