Today, survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell file letters with the court over the possible release of grand jury transcripts; ICE floated the idea of paying bounties for deportations but rescinded the idea after journalists reached out for comment; FEMA floated the idea of denying emergency preparedness grants to states that boycott Israeli companies but quickly rescinded that as well; the White House is preparing an order to punish banks that refuse to work with fascist;, Texas Republicans fail again to move forward with redistricting after Democrats protest by denying them a quorum; Trump caves on requiring Rupert Murdoch to be deposed early in his lawsuit against the WSJ; Jim Comer has issued subpoenas in the Epstein files case; the DOJ has a recording of the two day witness tampering session between Ghislaine Maxwell and Todd Blanche; for the first time in the Culinary Union’s 90-year history, all major casinos on the Las Vegas Strip are unionized; and Allison and Dana deliver the good news.
