MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?
NOEM: We haven't deported veterans
MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea
Revolution Wind “stop work” order already struck down, as unlawful. Trump DOJ declined to appeal.
Now the underlying executive order struck down, as unlawful.
Unlawful political services to fossil fuel industry donors is a recurring Trump behavior.
The campaign corruption case just argued in the Supreme Court attracted a flotilla of creepy front groups who filed “amicus” briefs — 15 of them by our count!
The Supreme Court refuses to require disclosure of the connections between them. Smelly.
“A member of the public familiar with the Maxwell trial record who reviewed the grand jury materials that the Government proposes to unseal would thus learn next to nothing new … would come away feeling disappointed and misled.”
“DOJ’s motion … itself misled victims—and the public at large—in holding out the Maxwell grand jury materials as essential to the goal of “transparency to the American public,” when in fact the grand jury materials would not add to public knowledge.”
“…DOJ, although paying lip service to Maxwell’s and Epstein’s victims, has not treated them with the solicitude they deserve.”
“(…the only arguable public interest served by disclosure would be to “expose as disingenuous the Government’s public explanations for moving to unseal”).”
“(DOJ’s “entire premise—that the Maxwell grand jury materials would bring to light meaningful new information about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s crimes, or the Government’s investigation into them—is demonstrably false.”).”
“Contrary to DOJ’s depiction, the grand jury materials would not reveal new information of any consequence.”
Here are a few excerpts from the latest court order, underlining the Trump DOJ Epstein Files mischief and trickery:
Instead of releasing the voluminous Epstein files they had, DOJ moved to disclose grand jury materials that contained nothing new.
As people evaluate the credibility of DOJ’s disclosure of the Epstein files, it’s good to remember the bogus effort so far.

Global clean energy investment continues to rise, setting new records, as Trump harms America’s strength by stooging for aging, dirty, expensive, doomed fossil fuel.
Homes in the West and South, with “greater climate risks, saw the most widespread losses over the past year.”
The Great Climate Insurance Collapse.
Reposted bySenator Sheldon Whitehouse
Of course Trump would give the economy an A+ after he rigged it to enrich him, his family and billionaires...
But for the rest of America?
Higher utility bills.
Higher grocery bills.
Historically high mortgage rates.
And skyrocketing health insurance bills.
