When a court instructs Epstein files be released, and they are not, and when a court instructs media be allowed into White House, but they are not, then your courts are irrelevant. You have no law, not for those in power. When a court says "Accept this vote" and it is not, what are you gonna do?

i think you can fairly say that the second trump administration is the most racist federal administration since woodrow wilson and honestly i'm not sure that it isn't more racist than wilson's
Tough competition of course, but the Trump admin deciding that white South Africans are the only group of people on earth currently worthy of refugee status has to be the most overtly racist thing any administration has done in decades
Hi folks. If you saw this, you know the administration plans to only accept white South Africans next year. Tomorrow is Congress's formal say before the determination is signed. Please check this brief thread on why I'd like you to speak out for the Afghan people still in limbo...

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.

Really feels like a lot of people my age that were so ambitious in their careers and doing incredible things have decided that it's not worth it anymore and are deciding to prioritize their personal lives instead and trying to retire early.

It's anecdotal but I'm seeing this across the board.
