Letβs not let this distract us from the Epstein files.
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nationβs people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustnβt let this war do so.
The people leading the U.S. war on Iran are a former βFox & Friendsβ guest and a former βFox & Friendsβ host.
As Trump ramps up his warmongering with Iran, his own son-in-law Jared Kushner β who is leading negotiations with Iran β stands to profit from lucrative contracts with its regional rivals.

Trump announced his plans to close the Kennedy Center entirely for two years "for Construction, Revitalization, and Complete Rebuilding." The announcement came after many prominent artists canceled existing scheduled appearances. n.pr/4arENcN
Trump has turned the Department of Justice into his own personal vendetta machine. And Pam Bondi has been happy to go along for the ride.
We're witnessing the most egregious politicization of the DOJ in recent memory β and I lived through the Nixon years. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...
A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.
