1. So journalists were able to delete the redactions on thousands of Epstein files simply by pasting them into Notepad. This is the most incompetent cover up in history, maybe appointing a bunch of podcasters to high level government positions wasn't a great idea.

Words can’t express my rage. At least 2 students on lockdown at Brown University already survived mass shootings. Zoe Weissman survived Parkland in 2018. Mia Tretta was shot in the stomach in Santa Clarita in 2019 and watched her best friend be murdered. And now…again.

There isn’t much for our Supreme Court to hear, the Constitution is already clear. And just to be absolutely clear: the Supreme Court does not have the power to overrule or rewrite our Constitution.
