The one question I wanted answered, which she evaded, the most important one is………

“Who gave the order to redact Trump’s name from all the Epstein files”?

If it was Trump, he is once again interfering in an investigation. If it was Bondi, she is abetting. Massive coverup.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse @whitehouse.senate.gov · 8d

I’m old enough to remember when Pam Bondi announced that she was going to release the Epstein files.

Because it was just a few months ago.

The Two Section Twos

The Protection Against Racial Gerrymandering in Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is Constitutional. Just Read Section 2 of the 14th Amendment.

NEWS: GOP leaders equate NO KINGS protesters with “terrorists”

First they called critics “traitors.” Then they called journalists “enemies.” Now they’re calling protesters “terrorists.”

You see the pattern, right?

NEWS: GOP leaders equate No Kings protesters with "terrorists"

Any regime that calls dissent “terrorism” deserves to be protested twice as loud.

The Beacon of Democracy Goes Dark

For nearly 250 years, America promoted freedom and equality abroad, even when it failed to live up to those ideals itself. Not anymore.
