Judge denies release of Ghislaine Maxwell grand jury transcripts
A federal judge in Manhattan on Monday rejected the Trump administration's request to release grand jury transcripts from the Justice Department investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's longtime confidant Ghislaine Maxwell.
The department asked the court last month to unseal the grand jury transcripts, which are generally secret, saying there was "abundant public interest" in the case. The unusual request was part of the administration's effort to tamp down the intense public blowback over its handling of the Epstein files.
I just want to know WHY Maxwell was transferred to a minimum security prison...That really MUST be explained...'Deals' were made.

The newly named McDonough Meteorite that punched through Earth's atmosphere on 26 June 2025 formed around 4.56 billion years ago, according to planetary geologist Scott Harris of the University of Georgia.

Of all of the threats to democracy and freedom...This is one that worries me in so many dangerous ways...Other parts of the world have endured civil wars over religion, and the USA hasn't. I hope it's not our turn...
Trump energizes conservative Christians with new religious policies
The Trump administration has green-lit political endorsements from the pulpit and encouraged religion in the federal workplace. Trump has established faith-focused entities with numerous influential Christian appointees. He’s energized supporters with assaults on cultural and academic targets long seen as liberal bastions. His administration and his Supreme Court appointees have expanded areas for religious exemptions and expression in the public square.
