This is my summary of the JFK assassination document release.  Trump's executive order has not been fully implemented, as documents on the Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King are not released, nor are 9/11 documents.   The Epstein documents are heavily redacted, probably due to Trump's many trips to Epstein Island.  Researchers will spend months reviewing all the documents.  

The biggest revelation is that there is definite proof that "lone nut" Oswald was under close scrutiny by CIA's James Angleton over 4 years from 1959 until he Oswald was murdered in Dallas police custody.  The documents show that Angleton was almost certainly using Oswald in some type of operation, although it falls short of “proof”, and leaves open the question of whether Oswald was a witting participant or a or unwitting patsy. 

Trump wants to create a political system in which he is the undisputed leader dictating, directly or indirectly, how it operates and who it favors. Since his re-election in November 2024, he has been haphazardly trying to consolidate his power. Elon Musk, Trump’s partner so far, is advancing this self-serving agenda partially through DOGE, the unofficial and inexperienced but powerful young team endorsed by Trump to reduce or privatize government programs that benefit average and poor citizens.

Tens of thousands of federal jobs have already been eliminated. Trump’s tariffs are further undermining the economy and alienating allies. One huge effect is that the dollar may cease to be the currency that undergirds international trade and investments.

There is now a threat of an economic recession, or, worse yet, both rising unemployment and rising inflation. On top of it all, congressional Republicans are geared up to pass a budget, with Trump’s encouragement, that includes a huge tax cut that disproportionately benefits the rich and big corporations.

Despite multiple earthquake faults surrounding the three California nuclear reactor coastal sites harboring huge amounts of radioactive waste in tsunami zones, with no plan to deal with the tons of waste, a bill has been introduced in the state legislature to increase nuclear use in our state. This also despite the devastating fires that occur regularly in California increasing the already staggering risks of nuclear reactors and the lethal long lived waste they produce.

Assemblymember Dr. Juaquin Arambula (D - Fresno) with main co-sponsors Assemblymember Diane Dixon (R - Orange) and Assemblymember Josh Hoover (R- Sacramento) introduced AB 305 . It would overturn California’s longstanding nuclear moratorium to allow for the construction of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).
