Washington Post's new headline is still wrong.

1. The release was not "huge."
2. DOJ missed the deadline to release all the files.
3, No mention of extensive redactions.

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.

This will not end well for anyone beyond some of Dear Leader’s family, a few cabinet members, and other oligarch cronies.
These fools in the administration think Maduro and the rest of Venezuela will eventually roll over and not resist an essentially empirical takeover in the name of “democracy” and economic security for the hemisphere. The US will be welcomed with open arms?! Oh, please.
The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price.

Here we are again.

We cannot let a wannabe dictator drag us into another forever war.
