One legally permitted basis for withholding data from the Epstein files is if the information is “kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign policy.”

Video report about how only around 2% of the Epstein material has been released:
Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total.
The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

Sean Morales-Doyle: With the exception of blatant dictators like Xi Jinping or the MBS, most autocrats try to manipulate rather than cancel (or never hold) elections. That's the real threat from Trump. He wants to be sure that the voter turnout is as low as possible and includes only MAGA.

I’m glad to see @channel4news.bsky.social addressing this. It’s been bothering me because, basically, the DOJ is continuing to lie about the Jeffrey Epstein matter:
“The information released could amount to just 2% of the information that the FBI retrieved from his homes.”

White nationalism isn't an ideology that is based on rigid categories and logic—its appeal is emotional. There are people (e.g., the Nordicists) who tried to define the racial boundaries of whiteness through pseudoscience. But its modern more mainstream form is almost vibes-based.
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

If you are having any symptoms or have any family history of colorectal cancer and are under the age when screenings are covered (or don’t have health coverage), please consider buying a fecal occult blood test at the drug store or on Amazon.
