Katie Phang: "[Todd Blanche] says the Privacy Act has to be read in conjunction with the Epstein Files Transparency Act and that it's totally proper for him to hide and obfuscate and protect the identities of enablers, rapists, traffickers of children. He thinks that's fine."

Katie Phang: "Todd Blanche wants to continue to hide the Epstein files from the American people. He wants to allow the existing redactions and withholdings to stand as a matter of law. He's saying what he has done is legally sufficient. And I am here to say, hell no, it is not."

Popok: I was wrong. I thought Trump would stay silent and stay out of the Cornell rape investigation, stay on the sidelines. I thought he'd be sidelined because he has his own sex abuse allegations... his connectivity to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell... I thought he would stay on the sidelines.

Tarrant County cut 92 polling places in a county that is 60 percent nonwhite, and the coverage will be a human interest piece about a patient voter in a folding chair. Long lines are not a turnout story. They are a budget decision someone made on purpose.
