For nearly 50 years, Iran has been treated as an outlaw, earning a spot as one of the most heavily sanctioned countries in the world. Still, we found that the country had managed to keep doing business with much of the world. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/b...

The Trump admin keeps insisting that a lot of the accusations in the Epstein Files were baseless, and surely some were. But the FBI held FOUR different interviews with one of Trump's accusers and then SIX more with another accuser, which suggests the agents thought *these* women were on the level.

Trump, July 19: "All three nuclear sites in Iran were completely destroyed and/or OBLITERATED. It would take years to bring them back into service." Witkoff, Sunday: "They're probably a week away from having industrial-grade bomb-making material."

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

The Supreme Court ruling has helped the family of one man in particular: the architect of Trump’s tariffs himself. A firm headed by Lutnick’s sons was allowing traders to buy the rights to hundreds of millions of dollars of refunds in case tariffs were struck down. trib.al/be2l16x

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

In Opinion “No one is likely to mistake contemporary Britain for a model democracy,” Fintan O’Toole writes. “And yet it is in Britain that some semblance of justice for the women and girls so ruthlessly exploited by Mr. Epstein’s network of well-connected men may be finally beginning to emerge.”
