Former US AG Pam Bondi to testify before House oversight committee on Epstein files handling, amid criticism of DOJ compliance with Epstein Files Transparency Act #transparency #uspolitics
True security in a system is impossible without #transparency, including free access to the source code. #SecurityByObscurity is a sham, a dangerous lie.
Services Australia is, on that false basis, arguing against release of the #myGov “code generator” source code. A system we must use, that is paid for by #Australia funds and rightly owned by all of us.
Support Fraser Tweedale @hackuador court battle to free this public system, and make it accountable and secure for all of us.

Donald Trump’s Justice Department is trying to erase the truth about January 6 from public view. The DOJ has scrubbed its website of press releases documenting charges, convictions, and sentencings tied to the attack on the U.S. Capitol — including cases involving people accused of assaulting police and members of extremist groups convicted of seditious conspiracy. The department is now dismissing those records as “partisan propaganda.” This purge comes just days after the DOJ announced a $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund that could compensate Trump allies who claim they were unfairly investigated or prosecuted. It also comes just weeks after the DOJ indicted former FBI Director James Comey over an innocuous photo posted online. Sign our petition to denounce the Justice Department's attempts to rewrite the history of January 6 and turn the Justice Department into a propaganda arm for Donald Trump. Let’s be clear: The January 6 attack on the Capitol was a violent attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election. It was criminal and Un-American. Nothing the DOJ says or does after the fact will change those facts. The pattern is impossible to ignore. Trump’s DOJ is trying to punish political enemies, reward political allies, and rewrite criminal accountability as victimhood. The Justice Department’s public records belong to the American people. They document what happened, who was charged, what evidence prosecutors presented, and how the courts responded. Scrubbing them from public view does not change history — but it does make it easier for extremists to lie about it. A democracy cannot survive when the nation’s top law enforcement agency becomes a tool for propaganda. Add your name now to denounce Blanche’s attempt to sanitize political violence and erase the truth about the attack on our democracy.
