The President of the United States appears to be getting regular IV infusions, the public doesn’t know anything about it, & the DC media evidently doesn’t care.
We are months into the mystery of Trump’s hands, the White House is lying, & I’ve seen a grand total of one serious news story about it.

And detainees are held for much long periods of time than needed so that these companies can charge more and make billions extra. It’s state sanctioned human trafficking.

What is with this guy— keeps coming back, people keep rising up to fight back.
Last night, Senator Mike Lee backed down and reversed his attempt to strip national park and public land protections from the Interior Appropriations bill. That said, this fight isn’t fully over. The Senate recessed before voting, and we have to stay alert in case this threat resurfaces. THANK YOU!

Apple nuking a customer's account over a bad gift card is a warning for everyone
One long-time Apple customer was left with no recourse after a bad gift card triggered a full account and device lock-out.

🚨 Epstein Files: In his letter to Congress, Todd Blanche says docs were withheld under the deliberative process, atty-client privilege & atty work product. In #FOIA that's the equivalent of a B5 exemption.
🧵
🧵
![In addition to the bases for withholding or redacting under the Act, the Department has withheld and redacted a limited amount of information otherwise covered by various privileges, including deliberative-process privilege, work-product privilege, and attorney-client privilege, These privileges are based in common law---not statutes---and Congress is fully aware of them. See Fed. R. Evid. 501; Trammel v. United States, 445 U.S. 40, 47 (1980) ("In... enacting Rule 501, Congress manifested an affirmative intention not to freeze the law of privilege."). It is a long-held principle that Congress speaks clearly when it intends to abrogate a common law principle or privilege. See Bassett v. United States, 137 U.$. 496, 505-06 (1890) ("[B ]efore any departure from the rule affirmed through the ages of the common law---a rule having its solid foundation in the best interests of society- can be adjudged, the language declaring the legislative will should be so clear as to prevent doubt as to its intent and limit.").
Although the Act broadly categorizes items required to be produced, the Act does not include language expressly requiring the Department to produce privileged materials. See Sec. 2(a); Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta, 597 U.S. 629, 642 (2022) ("Congress expresses its intentions
Page 2 of 6
through statutory text passed by both Houses and signed by the President."). A privilege log will be produced in due course as required under the Act](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eeitvtxcbjt3vmljqfmwzahz/bafkreichouiljlyrb52lm6ral3ktbimqez6djhkoc2in52tzjgp4loazee@jpeg)

So the basis for wanting to expel Rep. Omar from Congress is because...she is criticized the Netanyahu regime? Who ISN'T criticizing the source of the genocide?

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
