Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.
That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

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.

The president doesn’t have the authority to murder civilians at sea.
The courts must order President Trump to disclose the Office of Legal Counsel opinion that tries to justify his deadly boat strike campaign, and any other materials relating to these crimes.

This is the worst case scenario that everybody was worried about
It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

Bogus production - I did a search - very simple - on the DOJ database - for one word - TRUMP.
The result was no hit for Trump!
Why redact a few words when you can obliterate the key focus of the production - what did Trump do - and with whom.
