Re: Epstein’s emails

The sense I am getting through all of this is that Larry Summers used his position to get a substantially junior colleague to listen to him whine about his marriage, then tried to get her to “have a drink with him” and stormed off when she was like no thanks I have a presentation tomorrow.

Wtf New England!?

Dems should promise not only to prosecute the Trump family for enriching themselves at the expense of the country but also to use the tools of government to seize the wealth they’ve illegally accrued during his presidential terms. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/w...

what the actual fuck

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

Had 4 years of outrage media coverage of Hunter Biden having a board seat but not quite as much energy directed to what is basically legalized bribery. Need your tariffs cut? Just hand Trump a <checks notes> $130,000 solid gold bar and a bespoke Rolex desk clock. Media shrugs.

30% of adult Americans have criminals records. ICE would have found 180 criminals if they RANDOMLY detained Americans

It’s wild that you can just openly bribe the President of the United States with chunks of gold to get whatever you want, it’s fine, you don’t have to hide it, just say “I am bribing the President with gold,” zero consequences.

They’re all just looting the treasury now

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Trump is demanding that GOP side with him over Epstein's victims, Rep Ansari tells me. She had a harrowing exchange with one victim who recounts how her mom had cancer and he exploited that. Also note her mockery of network disclaimers on Trump. More like this, Ds: newrepublic.com/article/2031...

Absolute must read on the AI bailout-in-progress: apparently it's not enough that lifetimes of human ingenuity and creativity have been stolen and enclosed to create generative AI and balloon billionaire wealth - much more public looting is in store...

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

NEW: 2020 footage said to be in 2025. A neighbor who keeps reappearing in the same clip, said to be on different days & months. A broadcast from elsewhere suggested as Portland. How Fox News misled its viewership -- which may have included the president. www.propublica.org/article/port...

An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today: ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71832...

The released emails shine a new light on Bannon's attempts to rehabilitate Epstein’s public image.

Boys will be boys is some bs that’s overdue to die

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?

this should be obvious but the reason Trump is working desperately against Epstein transparency is because he's guilty

BREAKING: (Gift) New Epstein emails reveal that Epstein claimed he had kompromat on President Trump. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

One of many costs to US murder (sorry, no better word for it) in Caribbean: "United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal."

These kinds of things happened two decades ago under the last Republican president. A lot of people made a lot of short term money. Then it all came crashing down and his successor had to clean up a huge mess. Here we go again.

Wtaf

The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.

Oh

BERNIE ON THE *DEAL* with Centrist Dems: “That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.”

New: On The Gateway Pundit's podcast yesterday, Stewart Rhodes announced he's relaunching the Oath Keepers He also urged Trump to “call us up as a militia" & "order us all to come together in our counties under his command." www.mediamatters.org/oath-keepers...

Are we winning yet?

These damn billionaires could be investing in clean energy, gardens on roofs, and so much more to improve our lives At least the robber barons gave us the Met, Carnegie Hall, etc These diseased individuals who can’t seem to fill the hole in them instead spend their time/$$$ making our lives worse

This. @hcrichardson.bsky.social and @jbf1755.bsky.social do in a podcast what 20 years of Sunday morning shows have failed to do: discuss current events in an informed historic context and proposed actionable ways forward. Well worth listening to. And thank you, Professors.

Trumpers have established a secret police infrastructure in which growing fear and terror in targeted communities is the goal, not just a byproduct, of "enforcement" operations.

As the public discusses Dick Cheney’s death last week, we encourage you to read Frida Berrigan’s 2003 investigation, explaining Halliburton's profits from war—and how Cheney’s “deferred compensation” blurred lines between public office and private gain.

In the midst of all that we are facing, I want us to think about who we are being told to look to for understanding in this moment, who is being propped up as the voice of wisdom, and ask how right were they in predicting this, a year ago, 5, 8 years ago, and then ask why they are being centered now

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police. It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale. Signed, someone who’s covered the unaccountable War on Terror for 23 years.

But yeah so sorry you feel that the girlie pops are too woke at work, New York Times. Please lmk in the comments what I missed. Like: my mental health in my teens & 20’s, the Rose Garden, etc

I had to look for myself to verify, but it does appear that Walmart has gone Nazi. www.walmart.com/ip/Paper-Bea... Not that anyone is surprised. united4respect.org/reports/walm...

War criminals running our government.

Is wearing a mask really all that hard? I still do, and I get that it’s not ideal. But neither is getting sick or infecting the vulnerable. Isn’t it worth that to save our babies and grandparents? It doesn’t have to be all or nothing, every little bit counts. But certainly in crowded spaces.

Jeffries: "These Republicans have tried to repeal the ACA more than 70 different times. They're not acting in good faith in dealing w/healthcare crisis they're visiting on the American people. This is the same group who just enacted the largest cut to Medicaid in history in their big ugly bill."

www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMtS3gD9/ Can someone, ANYONE, explain to me why the Dem Machine is not ALL IN and completely behind this excellent candidate for TN-7 Cong? Why aren’t we, as a team, doing everything possible to help her win? Not only does she help ensure release of the Epstein files, she is
