I know a Bulgarian immigrant who lived under Zhivkov and who currently works as a translator.
He’s already looking at other countries to move to as he remembers all too well how despots operate.

This is one of the pictures the Justice Department removed from the Epstein files release:

A picture of a table with framed photos of Epstein and famous people. There are two photos of Trump in the picture — including one of him surrounded by women in bathing suits.

Justice for Epstein’s victims requires full transparency and accountability.

Yet AG Pam Bondi seems happy to blatantly defy the law explicitly requiring the release of the files with redactions for victims only.

This lawless administration knows no bounds.

Release the full files now.

Today, in the Sunday print NYT, we published an investigative look at Harold Hamm, the 13th child of Oklahoma sharecroppers who started an oil company named Continental, which turned him into a billionaire, powerbroker and friend of Donald J. Trump. You may never have heard of Hamm. But you should

Our NYT piece examines Hamm's determined, 15-year campaign to reshape US energy policy. Why? He wanted to extend out the life of fossil fuels to allow his family-controlled company to keep drilling. He argued this is essential to US. energy security. A free link: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/12/b...

Hamm is only among a dozen or so key oil CEOs. But his friendship with Trump allowed him to play an outsized role in naming Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Hamm is a good buddy with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. Here they were last year with Burgum at a VIP dinner in North Dakota.

But there was an awkward moment for me. I accidently ended up in an elevator with Harold Hamm himself (and his security team.) Oh yes indeed. They weren’t happy-- as one of his aides recognized me. I was escorted out by security--without a Trump pop-tart gift

I have been working on and off on this story, along with my colleague Rebecca Elliott, since January when I was at Hamm’s Inauguration Day party for Trump at the Hay Adams in DC. It was a crazy event celebrating the return of big oil to power in DC. Yes, Nigel Farage was there.

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.

Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.

Now, it’s gone.

There is no basis to withhold these images under the clear terms of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. None.

“The New York Times contacted Ms. Farmer about a report stamped with the date of Sept. 3, 1996. She broke down in tears.

“I’ve waited 30 years,” she said. “I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.”
HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

The Epstein files “release” is a coverup in plain sight. The Watergate coverup was done in the shadows. This is an overt evasion of the law to shield Trump.
Despicable.
📌What I wrote one month ago:

"Anybody who thinks Trump is going to allow the release of any Epstein Files that incriminate him is completely delusional and has been in a blissful slumber the past 12 years.
What that is, is a COVER-UP and that’s the ONLY word that should be used going forward."
