Opinion | Epstein's friends aren't just pedophiles—they're also job creators. by Bret Stephens

Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval after 88 years thehill.com/homenews/med...

A handyman from Florida who received a pardon from President Trump for storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was convicted on state charges of child sex abuse and exposing himself to a child. n.pr/4tx7oVq

Rep. Jesús García comes out swinging: "You're one of the worst attorney generals in our history and an instrument of Donald Trump's lawless authoritarian agenda, and I'm glad the American people are seeing who you are."

"Quite frankly, I think it’s time to question our society’s stigma about eating people. It was perfectly acceptable in many cultures in the past."

“A real apology — once • After the 2016 Access Hollywood tape leaked (where he bragged about groping women), Trump released a statement saying “I’m not proud of it. I apologize to my family. I apologize to the American people.” That is widely considered his most substantive apology.”

Trump Defends Racist Video As Racist

“Instead of sitting through a stupid test and having to attend some boring oath ceremony, you take one tablet and instantly receive all the privileges you’d have had if you’d lived here all your life,” said President Donald Trump

This is also what Trump said when he retweeted a post in 2015 that suggested Iowans were brain damaged by Monsanto leading to their preferring Ben Carson.

JUST IN: Trump DELETES racist post depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, blames a "White House staffer." Karoline Leavitt previously defended the post and criticized the public outcry as "fake outrage."

The New York Times has finally covered the Trump video of Obama as an ape — and they are still providing cover for him. Fuck the Times.

Apparently the FBI's Epstein redaction machine was set to redact "don't" (Don T) for some reason. That would appear to run afoul of The Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R. 4405)

It’s seems there might be growing evidence Trump is an avowed racist …

Sources close to Jared and Ivanka say that, privately, the couple has reservations about pedophilia.

In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

Opinion | If you're not in the Epstein files, you're a nobody.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton writing "pls print" 35 times in emails on a private server or Donald Trump being mentioned 38,000 times in the emails of a notorious sex trafficker, both candidates had a fraught relationship with electronic communication.

Holy shit Peter Attia gets worse www.reddit.com/r/PeterAttia...

I guess the best-available defense to this sort of thing—lots of friendly emails and visits with someone recently convicted of procuring a child for the purposes of prostitution, I mean—is something like “He seemed to have lots of money and connections and I would have liked a little piece of that”

Academics vying for a spot in Epstein‘s world. There are so many. I feel the need to make a thread, so I don’t keep confusing them. 1/

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

there are no mastermind villains. every single one of them is sending 4th grade level emails to World's Most Famous Sex Criminal from their work account

Reason for outpatient consults should be more than someone said I should see a cardiologist.

The ICU nurse who loved dogs and helping veterans was no angel.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Alex Pretti took care of veterans as an ICU nurse. “He was a super nice, super helpful guy – looked after his patients," said @dimitridrekonja.bsky.social, who worked with Pretti both at the hospital and on scientific research. "I’m just stunned.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

How many more innocent people will these masked thugs murder? Bodies are piling up. Enough.

Breaking news: Federal agents in Minneapolis fatally shot a man believed to be U.S. citizen. The victim was a 37-year-old White male, a resident of the city and appeared to lawfully own a gun, the police chief said. https://wapo.st/3M62eyV

lol

As a rule, when Trump is confronted with polling numbers that hurt his feelings, he makes up a generous new approval rating and asks the public to play along. Occasionally, however, he gets his lawyers involved. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Style Note | Going forward, we will be referring to Republicans who broadly support Trump's agenda and cult of personality but oppose stealing another country's sovereign territory as "moderates."

High speed rail has arrived.

BREAKING: Mobile phones in Iran are able to call abroad again more than four days after service was cut during a crackdown on nationwide protests. Witnesses say text messaging is still down and the internet remains cut off from the outside world.

Many ICE officers appear to be white supremacists who were unable to obtain jobs in other branches of law-enforcement. Some liberal critics say that’s a bad thing.

Seems ICE has killed more people than illegal immigrants since Trump took office.

ICE just murdered an American civilian. But my liberal coworker keeps sharing videos of John Oliver talking about “Donald Drumpf”. I have never felt more politically homeless.

I voted for Trump because I’m tired of wars. I don’t regret it.

RFK Jr. ordered the CDC to terminate their flu vaccination ad campaign immediately after taking office. Just in case anyone was curious about his silence in the face of what is emerging as an unusually severe flu season and why he’s not out encouraging vaccines. www.bmj.com/content/388/...
