Siding with publishers and authors, a federal judge Wednesday ruled that a key part of a 2023 Florida law that has led to books being removed from school library shelves is “overbroad and unconstitutional.” https://t.co/xdLwQLjhyq
WE WON!!!! The court granted summary judgment on behalf of the authors, publishers, parents, and students who sued to stop book banning in central Florida!
NEW FOIA Files newsletter is out!
An index from an 8-year-old #FOIA lawsuit shows what's in the FBI's Epstein files: bank and phone records, photographs, communications with foreign govt agencies & other revealing material related to its 2006 probe

“In court, they insist that releasing even one additional page from the Epstein file would hurt their ability to re-prosecute Ghislaine Maxwell in the event the supreme court orders a new trial,” a spokesperson for Radar said.

Was Epstein some kind of intelligence agent?
It's hard to completely rule out this popular theory. But based on the totality of evidence, it's very unlikely.
Good reporting here by @JayShams ... https://t.co/5a6FWQkw3o
There is another way to get the Epstein files: Attorney @DanNovack is fighting the @FBI in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to get the files released and he's been fighting the good fight for eight years.

🚨 NEWS: The Trump DOJ's memo blocking release of the Epstein files contradicts DOJ's legal rationale in a concurrent lawsuit about the files, according to court records reviewed by The Lever.
DOJ keeps changing its legal arguments to block disclosure. https://t.co/C0rGEIob7B
I sued the FBI 8 years ago for the Epstein Files on behalf of Radar Online and James Robertson. The case is currently on appeal.
The FBI insists releasing ANY Epstein files would jeopardize a (long-shot, hypothetical) re-trial of Ghislaine Maxwell.
