This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

Wild — as the community note says, Trump’s DOJ released a publicly available pic of MJ & Clinton & Diana Ross with their own kids and implied it’s them with victims

Isn’t this something that should be investigated? What are the details related to this pardon? Who requested that a pardon be considered on behalf of Juan Hernandez. What documents, emails exist? Was anything of value offered? Who was involved in the process?

I know you already know, but for other folks who don't, Goldsmith was previously head of OLC, is a genuinely brilliant mind on executive authority and separation of powers, and is usually very cautious about making claims this unqualified and direct. That he is saying it so starkly is v significant

The U.S. has been cutting cyber defenses as AI boosts attacks
While artificial intelligence powers the offense, defense guidance is spotty and fewer officials are in a position to help fend off hackers and spies.

With no evidence whatsoever I stand by my theory that they’re terrorizing some small time drug traffickers to benefit some bigger competitor.
Juan Hernández, a former president of Honduras, was found guilty by a US jury last year of conspiring to import cocaine, via one of "most violent drug trafficking conspiracies in the world"

Trump intends to pardon him.

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.
