Before you rush to congratulate her for ANYTHING…

The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

NEW: In his first interview since his arrest for protesting outside the Chicago-area ICE facility, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social tells me he has "bruises all over my body." Even so, he said, “the cruelty that goes on that facility … must be 100 times worse." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

A deep dive on how Mr. Populism himself, Steve Bannon, was Epstein’s legal and media coach — “devising responses to the gathering storm of public outrage about Epstein’s criminal history.” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"Newly released documents suggest Bannon's relationship with Epstein went further than being his biographer, with the convicted paedophile occasionally seeming to act like a personal assistant....'I'll make sure you're well looked after.'" www.bbc.com/news/article...

Larry Summers getting advice on how to communicate with women, and Epstein advising him how to be emotionally manipulative, is both gross and pathetic www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

This comes as part of an extended chat between Epstein and Larry Summers, in which Summers is defending Trump, and notorious pedophile ring leader Jeffrey Epstein says no, Trump is a very bad person.

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

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...

So trafficked kids, not toddlers. Got it.

Activists launched a campaign highlighting SNAP cuts, arguing Republicans prioritized tax breaks for billionaires over food assistance.

“records show these men need to be investigated!!! but those same records about me are a hoax.”

Mafia governance in action "the only offer on the table was that I needed to resign by 5pm that day or the DOJ would basically rain hell on UVA... If I did not resign that day, I was told that the DOJ would extract/block hundreds of millions of dollars from UVA before they would even negotiate."

MAGA: "Release the Epstein files" Trump: "No" Congress: "Here are 20,000 documents with deeply troubling messages from Epstein about Trump." MAGA: "It's a hoax" www.wired.com/story/maga-w...

I'd like to know why Bannon thought that Epstein had the power to get rid of Trump officials?

Not sure “He was raping teenagers, not raping children” lands with the qualifier impact Megyn Kelly intended.

2/5 Newly released emails show Epstein asked Jagland to help him connect with Lavrov and Putin to deal with Trump. Jagland replied he would meet Lavrov’s assistant the next day and suggest a link with Epstein. Why was a top European official doing this?

Indiana University, which has now been subordinated to the direct control of the Indiana GOP, announces that criticism of the MAGA movement and doctrines of the GOP is forbidden. An instructor is dismissed for speaking critical words about the MAGA movement.

"Among the big hitters whom Wolff helped assemble for the deal was...the not-yet-convicted sex offender and Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, and the not-yet-convicted sex trafficker and financier Jeffrey Epstein."

the actual name I am least surprised to see on here

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

“I don’t think that’s appropriate at all.” REPUBLICAN @RepGregSteube opposed the funding bill because @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn and others snuck in a provision to hand themselves millions of taxpayer dollars. #MarshaMoneyGrab 💰

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

Why would Epstein know Trump's election prospects on Oct. 15? Maybe Russia. That month Epstein arranged for Trump advisors Peter Thiel & Tom Barrack to meet Russian Vitali Churkin. Russia fed hacked emails to WikiLeaks. Then Thiel's folks spun up Pizzagate: a conspiracy about a pedophile ring. 4/

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.

Fall 2017: Then-NYT reporter literally warning Epstein that someone is "digging around again."

BREAKING Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva has now signed the Epstein discharge petition which means it has received the 218 signatures it needs.

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Jeffrey Epstein said Trump was worse than gross. Jeffrey Epstein.

Wait, I'm supposed to believe that the convicted child sex trafficker who was inexplicably moved to a minimum security prison after an interview with the president's personal lawyer and who the president's allies have been portraying as a victim has blackmail material on the president?

A lot of news today, but don't miss the two big threats-to-democracy ones: 1. SCOTUS will decide whether states can count ballots post marked by, but received after, election day. Given vote-mode polarization in recent years, this could matter a lot

NEWS: The UK 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, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

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...

🚨BREAKING: In a case with major implications for voting access, the U.S. Supreme Court will soon decide whether a mail-in ballot must be received by Election Day to count, or if it merely must be sent by then. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

As I explained when Davis' lawyers filed this petition, there was virtually no chance that the Supreme Court would seriously consider her case. I doubt there are five votes to overturn Obergefell—but if there were, this case does not present a clean vehicle for doing so. slate.com/news-and-pol...

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.
