This is quite the opening on justiciability: Judge Ali says the Trump admin's "position is premised on ignoring binding precedent that says [courts may review a decision to revoke security clearance], including simply omitting relevant caselaw from the motion to dismiss."

The DOJ identified at least 10 co-conspirators who worked with Epstein and Maxwell. It’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Epstein and Maxwell were engaged in organized crime, yet NO ONE ELSE involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring has faced criminal charges. Why?

So true. Big media fail. And Democrats never conveyed this.
So many news outlets continue to push the obviously false claim that Elon Musk and DOGE were trying to eliminate waste and fraud.
Because the goal was never “saving” anything. The mission was the destruction of the federal government and the theft of everyone’s data, and they achieved everything they intended to do.
