A federal judge says Todd Blanche isn't sufficiently following the court's orders in a case concerning the Epstein files and gave Blanche a deadline to comply or face the possibility of contempt charges. The order stems from the lawsuit brought by Katie Phang.

New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:

Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem

Trump is trying to rig the 2030 Census by adding a citizenship question. This would eliminate millions of people from the official count, drastically reshaping congressional representation. He will stop at nothing to entrench Republican power.
