Donald Trump was President when Epstein died and Donald Trump is on the Epstein list. Let’s talk about it.

Republican legal icon and Clinton scourge Ken Starr signs off a touching note to Jeffrey Epstein with "hugs." Amazing.

An NYT reporter warns Jeffrey Epstein that folks are "digging around again" and may be a threat to him, but don't worry, NYT will always be on his sign.

Jeffrey Epstein to Lawrence Summers (both of whom are very bad people): “i have met some very bad people , none as bad as trump. not one decent cell in his body. so yes- dangerous”

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Trump’s buddy barrack an Epstein buddy too

Jeffrey Epstein said that Trump “knew about the girls.” But what did he really mean?

Jeffrey Epstein: "Have them ask my houseman about donald [Trump] almost walking through the door leaving his nose print on the glass as young women were swimming in the pool and he was so focused he walked straight into the door." #OpDeathEaters

Responding to a 2017 message that Trump was 'so gross', Jeffrey Epstein said Trump was "worse in real life and upclose."

Since Jeffrey Epstein is in the news it’s important to remember this chestnut

The Situation Room in History * 1962: Cuban Missile Crisis * 2001: September 11th attacks * 2011: Raid on Osama bin Laden * 2025: Trump & corrupt allies pressure Rep. Lauren Boebert to help them cover up Trump’s pedophilia on convict Jeffrey Epstein’s private island and other locations.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015 What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

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.

High schoolers in 2150 reading about 2015-2030 in history class : "Wait, so the Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy theory ppl were rabid supporters of Epsteins best friend? And they refused to acknowledge all the evidence that he was deeply implicated in Epsteins crimes? How does that make sense?"

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

TRANSITION CO-CHAIR LINA KHAN!?!?!??!

This was horrific to watch. Agents entering a daycare, wrestling with and abducting a teacher in front of small screaming children. I just… what the fuck are we doing here.

roses are red big laughs are hearty

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

It's always amazing to me how American politics vilifies someone like Mamdani or AOC for their outrageous, dangerous, socialist takes, and meanwhile in Canada there are candidates like them in every election, anywhere. It really is okay to care about people and the world you're building together

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

it's official

I love this podcast. And this automatically became one of my favorite episodes.

So many otherppl podcast highlights over the years, but one that always sticks out for me was the interview with Sam Tallent. Sam's skills as a comedian and a conversationalist were on full display, and Brad did a great job mining the rich intersection between comedy and literature. #otherppl1000

Not ready for a deep dive into this yet, but come Xmas/Winter Solstace/New Years I’ll make the plunge (feel free to remind me @bradlisti.bsky.social lol).
