Thanks for the gift link. Will be interesting to see if the measure that passed in the Senate even gets a vote in the House. Because if there is no legislation preventing removal, Trump can just do it later.

We should call it the Trump/Epstein Memorial Tarp because it's one big redaction!
A digital image styled like a political meme or satirical graphic. Large, bold, white sans-serif text overlaid across the upper half of the image reads: "Trump/Epstein Memorial Tarp".

The background photograph shows the Kennedy Center, with its grand central columns and entrance draped in a heavy, white plastic construction tarp with thin vertical blue stripes. The tarp is gathered near the top center, hanging like formal drapery or curtains. At the bottom center of the frame, a person with dark hair is seen from behind, standing and looking up at the covered entrance.
