When you hear the term Epstein Class, this is what it refers to. A group of elites that support one another, bury each other's secrets, defend each others indefensible acts. It's a big club, and you ain't in it.

White would go on after the SEC stint to represent Les Wexner (!) & the Sackler family (!!). And in a moment of crisis, where she needed a strategy to avoid disgrace, she turned to corporate lawyer Ruemmler, pal of Jeff Epstein, to help her defend herself.

Guys I found the best Epstein Files email. The one that illuminates an elite class that's cocooned themselves into an unaccountable shell of wealth and privilege, fighting to protect their secrets and offenses. I could write a novel about this email.

The Angels announce they've signed C Travis D'Arnaud to a two-year deal. $12 million. Less in 2025 than he would've gotten if Atlanta had picked up his option but two years for a backup catcher is OK. He won't change the Angels' fortunes all that much but it's good to have a decent backup catcher.
