Susie Wiles said Trump is in the Epstein files but not doing anything “awful.”
This passage suggests she an I don’t have the same standards for “awful.”
Those who know what’s in there and are covering up - Bondi, Blanche, Patel, Bongino, Wiles, Vance, Leavitt - must be treated like pariahs.

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.
Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.
See for yourself.

Question: When the head of the DOJ’s Civil Rights division tweets out a false statement about an individual that results in them being barraged with death threats based on their religion and ethnicity, which governmental agency would look into whether that student’s Civil Rights had been infringed?

So last night as I was wondering why Pam Bondi diverted almost 200 National Security attorneys who should be chasing hackers and spies to redact the Epstein files, I remembered that John Eisenberg, who heads it, is the guy who altered the Trump-Zelenskyy transcript.

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears.

Interesting to consider that if you were to go and deface the Kennedy center by removing Trump’s name, you’d be arrested and charged with a crime, but your act would be no more unlawful than what they’re doing right now.

When ambition exceeds principles you get Marco Rubio.
Rubio on former colleagues who say he's abandoned his principles: "There's things people can say do in private that they can't in public...but at the end of the day, the person the people elected POTUS is Donald J Trump. That's who they elected. My job is to implement the president's foreign policy"

“President Trump is a truth-teller and calls it like he sees it,” Steven Cheung, the communications director, said in an email.
The problem is that the way Trump “sees it” does not comport with objective reality. And that is a problem when he also controls the nuclear codes.

“You could say it’s down 87% or you could say it’d have to go up by 700% to get back to that price.”
Sure.
What Trump said was that prices were being cut by 600%, not “prices are being cut such that they would need to go up 600% to return to the prior price.”

But this report may understate inflation a bit.
Here's why: Usually the BLS collects prices all through November. But the shutdown kept it closed for the first half of November.
So more prices than usual were collected in the middle of "Black Friday" sales.
