Climate references vanished from the EPA website, 87 narco-terrorists were eliminated, and a judge approved releasing Epstein grand jury materials. Jordan Peterson is home but still battling autoimmune issues. Immigration news focused on large-scale Somali fraud in Minnesota and misplaced spending priorities in Charlotte.
