Kash ordered a team of FBI agents to go through the Epstein files many months ago to redact Trump’s name based on FOIA exemptions 6 and 7. It is highly unlikely they are going to be unredacted before they are released. ONLY victim info should be redacted, but much more will be.

More like the *promise* of the possibility of magic beans

Yup, capitulating like this makes the whole exercise pointless.

They could've forced the R's to drop the filibuster and force it through the Senate then laid it at their feet, but no, they had to vote for a deal which was basically for some magic beans.

It’s actually made me furious at them, they messed with people’s lives for 40 some days for nothing.

SHAPIRO: You would rather put a gun in your mouth? SIMON: I mean, what you're saying to me, effectively, is there's no original way to do anything and... SHAPIRO: No. SIMON: Yes, you are. SHAPIRO: That seems like a kind of absolutist take. SIMON: Not only I think is it a fundamental violation of the integrity of writers and also of copyright to - you know, when I sold all the scripts I sold, you know, 150 to HBO and, you know, maybe another 50 to NBC, I didn't sell them so that they could be thrown into a computer with other people's and be used again by a corporation. So... SHAPIRO: So would you ever agree to a contract that saw any role for AI at all? SIMON: No. I would not.

The next couple questions are just as good with Simon tearing into Shapiro and holding fast:

BREAKING: Immergut has *granted* Oregon and California's motion to block the new call-up of Guard troops to Portland. She says this effort to bring CA and TX troops to Oregon is in "direct contravention" of her oroginal order.

UPDATE: Hegseth today called up 400 members of the Texas National Guard, with Gov. Abbott's apparent permission, to be deployed "where needed, including in the cities of Portland and Chicago." www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Jesus fucking Christ.

After today's financial news, hard to avoid conclusion that a nasty recession is on the way, probably has already begun.

This guy is crashing out hard

@jasmineforus.bsky.social: Abrego Garcia "a lot less criminal than the person that's sitting in the White House because last time I checked, he didn't have any criminal convictions."

“Hegseth eyes Papacy”

Opinion | Former Top Pentagon Spokesperson Details ‘Month from Hell’ Inside the Agency The total chaos at the Department of Defense is becoming a major distraction for the Trump administration, writes John Ullyot.

Pete Hegseth has got to go. - Pete Hegseth's supporter and former DOD spokesman.

Why?

He's carrying out Stalineque purges and defaming former staffers when they leave (a Fox News high art form) and leaking war plans to anyone he's ever met and The Atlantic.

Listen to him.

Sen Van Hollen calls it out—The president of El Salvador pulled a stunt, putting two cocktail glasses on the table to make it look like he & Kilmar were just chilling.

FACT: Kilmar’s locked in a mega-prison, unconvicted with no due process. No credible evidence to back MS-13 gang member allegation.

It’s too easy to picture Hegseth as Will Ferrell in Old School, just hammered and naked and screaming “C’MON, EVERYBODY! WE’RE BOMBING YEMEN!”

Hegseth Said to Have Shared Attack Details in Second Signal Chat (Gift Article) The defense secretary sent sensitive information about strikes in Yemen to an encrypted group chat that included his wife and brother, people familiar with the matter said.

"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, according to four people with knowledge of the chat."
