BREAKING: Judge Boasberg has GRANTED Our Motion to Compel in DOGE FOIA Case Involving Musk's Phone(s)
Though still refusing to acknowledge Musk was a government employee, DOJ argued they shouldn't have to find out if he was using a personal phone. They just lost that argument.

Also I read today that the British ambassador to the US is being fired for his Epstein associations.
Wish the US would muster the moral outrage to drive these moral degenerates out of power (and ideally prosecute those who deserve it).
