Epstein survivor Dani Bensky on meeting with Blanche:   "Todd Blanche treated the meeting as a mere 'check-the-box' exercise intended to secure votes for his confirmation. He danced around his wording, repeatedly interrupted us and could not commit to anything that would demonstrate good faith."

The thesis is that a single election for president - in which Trump didn’t even get a majority of votes - should override forever any other vote, any other arrangement, any other law, past or future, in any other place. This is fascism.

“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.” www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...
Washington Post story: For years, a National Park Service webpage introduced the Underground Railroad with a large photograph of its most famous "conductor," Harriet Tubman. "The Underground Railroad - the resistance to enslavement through escape and flight, through the end of the Civil War — refers to the efforts of enslaved African Americans to gain their freedom by escaping bondage," the page began.
Tubman's photograph is now gone. In its place are images of Postal Service stamps that highlight “Black/White cooperation" in the secret network and that feature Tubman among abolitionists of both races.
The introductory sentence is gone, too. It has been replaced by a line that makes no mention of slavery and that describes the Underground Railroad as "one of the most significant expressions of the American civil rights movement." The effort "bridged the divides of race," the page now says.
The executive order that President Donald Trump issued late last month directing the Smithsonian Institution to eliminate "divisive narratives" stirred fears that the president aimed to whitewash the stories the nation tells about itself.
But a Washington Post review of websites operated by the National Park Service - among the key agencies charged with the preservation of American history - found that edits on dozens of pages since Trump's inauguration have already softened descriptions of some of the most shameful moments of the nation's past.
Some were edited to remove references to slavery. On other pages, statements on the historic struggle of Black Americans for their rights were cut or softened, as were references to present-day echoes of racial division. The Post compared webpages as of late March to earlier versions preserved online by the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.
Changes in images, descriptions and even individual words have subtly reshaped the meaning of notable moments and key figures

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.
Because DOGE has shut down USAID's payment system (Phoenix), our housing
electricity and the electricity in our USAID building have not been paid for. Mission
leadership has informed us that the only reason our electricity is on is because we've
asked for an extension from the electric company. The Mission asked for a waiver but
because our payment system is down, the Treasury has no way to issue money to USAID
and State Department representatives here are hesitant to make payments on our behalf
for fear of not being reimbursed.
7. Once the electricity goes out in our homes, we lose access to our security cameras and
radios. Again, I live in a high-risk post, so access to security systems is very important to
me.
8. I have been told by Mission leadership that the cell phone and internet bills are due this
week with no way to pay them. This is despite the so-called "waiver" process that has
been allegedly implemented to preserve such access.
9. Our cell phones and radios are also the only way to communicate with the Regional
Security Office about security threats. We have access to no other USAID security
systems.The agency is also considering spending about $25,000 to install a washer and dryer on the building’s 6th floor, according to a Feb. 25 invoice obtained by POLITICO. There is also a child’s play area decorated with a stuffed animal and toys, according to a photo of the room shared with POLITICO.

“People are definitely … sleeping there,” said one GSA staffer.
