Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts; a new trove of apparent Epstein Files released by DOJ seems to have disappeared; Judge Aileen Cannon says she will lift her block on Volume II of Jack Smith’s report in February - but she’s allowing Trump to intervene and appeal; the Trump administration has purged 30 ambassadors from their posts; LaMonica McIver returns to the ICE facility where she was framed for assaulting a federal agent to conduct oversight; and Allison delivers your Good News.

Good Trouble - https://near.tl/sm/ik-ZushRa
A mass outbreak of civil disobedience occurred in the autumn of 1940, when students of Oslo University began to wear paper clips on their lapels to demonstrate their resistance to the German occupiers and their Norwegian collaborators. A seemingly innocuous item, the paper clip was a symbol of solidarity and unity ("we are bound together"), implying resistance.
