"Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump."

The missing files are about accusations that Trump sexually assaulted a child and hit her in the head. The FBI interviewed the accuser four times and the DOJ has not released the interview notes.
All allegations of Trump wrongdoing are worth watching. But this one is special because it has three properties:
1. It's serious.
2. It's well-documented. (Thanks to #NPR.)
3. It's one that many #MAGA voters and politicians take seriously.
Hundreds of Trump scandals have the first two properties. Almost none has the third.
This creates the prospect of actual accountability.

"COPE’s renewed commitment to editorial independence."
https://publicationethics.org/news-opinion/editorial-independence-and-academic-freedom
This new statement from the Committee on Publication Ethics identifies a handful of "geopolitical threats to editorial independence" including several from the #Trump admin.
I'm glad to see it quote the #DefendResearch statement, of which I'm a coauthor.

Hot take: People are afraid of reacting or replying to AI critiques on LinkedIn for the same reason Trump's cabinet meetings are full of sycophantic praise for the president.
#MAGA Is Raging Over the #Epstein Files. But They’re Not Mad at #DonaldTrump
#Trump supporters are angry at the lack of arrests after the latest Epstein file dump but have targeted their ire at #KashPatel , #PamBondi , and #SteveBannon rather than the president.

An excellent op-ed by #ArneDuncan and #DavidPressman: "Universities are sending #Trump a dangerous message."

"By conditioning federal research grants on ideological conformity — and threatening investigations, funding freezes and intrusive oversight — the Trump administration has turned money meant to cure disease and advance knowledge into political ransom. Yet with only a handful of notable exceptions, the academy’s leadership has responded with timidity, silence or preemptive concession."
They offer five important recommendations for institutions with courage.

But equally #Trump and #Vance may be trying to prevent the world realising it was actually the Danish who came to the rescue of an American submarine crew on Saturday:
‘ #Danish Arctic Command evacuates US submariner
Trump's post on Saturday came after Denmark's Joint Arctic Command said it had evacuated a US submarine crew member who required urgent medical attention.
The submarine was in #Greenland's waters, seven nautical miles outside of #Nuuk.’
