🚨 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.

New Mexico is the first state in the US to provide free child care to nearly every family, regardless of income level or immigration status. It just entered effect last month, but universal child care is already helping parents find balance and relief.

Hong Kong’s response to a fire that killed more than 160 people suggests the city is becoming more authoritarian, Timothy McLaughlin argues—and this will only compound problems that “contributed to last month’s tragedy and that raise the risk of future ones”:

Congress passed a law mandating the Epstein files release w/minimal exceptions for redactions It’s actually against the law to redact If Dems win the next prez, they can indict Pam Bondi for not following the law & altering govt docs to cover up politically embarrassing info (obstruct of justice)

Trump’s 28-point peace plan with Russia “is misnamed,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues. “It is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future.”

“In 1985, Pres Reagan appointed me as a fed judge. I resigned Fri, relinquishing thatl… I no longer can bear to be restrained by what judges can say publicly” Pres Trump is using the law for partisan purposes: targeting his adversaries while sparing friends & donors from prosecution & punishment.
