Some of the Epstein docs the DOJ invited members of Congress to view are STILL redacted, despite promises otherwise.

NEW: The Republican National Committee (RNC) is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to dramatically restrict mail-in voting nationwide and asking the justices to rule that ballots arriving after Election Day — even if mailed on time under state law — should not be counted.
Republicans ask Supreme Court to block states from counting legally cast mail ballots
If the Court sides with the RNC, millions of voters who depend on mail-in voting could be disenfranchised.

One cognitive problem we have understanding Trump is how it differs from the precedents. One thing I'm obsessed about is that he started as hegemon, but is pissing that away, IN PART bc he does not control himself.

But this is another big distinction.

I'm at least as obsessed by David Sacks' role

The largest federal prison in the nation is Fort Dix, which has a rated capacity of 4,600 people. The largest of these warehouse camps may hold more than twice that number of people.
