Excellent question.

It's not surprising that Lutnik was a business associate of Epstein and is all over the Epstein files.
It's not surprising that he lied about it.
It is surprising that his lies were so detailed and well thought out.
And it is surprising that he didn't realize the truth would be known.

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.
It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

If for no other reason than the paranoia they have needlessly engendered among innocent people who already have plenty of other things to cope with, fuck ICE.
Today at school dismissal, I followed a suspicious pickup around for a bit, keeping an eye on them, trying to figure out if they were ICE. Then I realized they were keeping an eye on me also. Then I realized they were, in fact, other parents. Life in Minnesota, January 2026.

Truly one of the great conservation juxtapositions: Manatees enjoying the warm water effluent from a coal power plant during a cold snap caused by the prolonged breakdown in the polar vortex driven in part by the emissions of said coal power plant. Manatees living in a man made world

Yes, Danielle Smith is a separatist
Alberta's premier says she supports "a sovereign Alberta within a united Canada." Her actions tell a much different story — one that makes her position on the issue impossible to ignore.
