A chummy bunch of racist sex clowns have been banding together for years to try & use their vast money & media influence to keep fellow racist sex clowns & sniveling think tank sycophants in power long enough for them all to die peacefully in their beds

My favorite description of refuge-seeking behavior in journalism comes from a former reporter for the Washington Post, Paul Taylor, in his 1990 book about election coverage. I have quoted it many times. 11/

So Howard Lutnick is well-represented in the Epstein files, but the bigger story might be all the fun money laundering?https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA01249210.pdf

Admitting DC as many, many states, you mean
and furthermore, it’s very clear that the two most important political tests for the senate in 2029 once we take it will be:
1. expanding the Supreme Court
2. Admitting PR/DC as states
1. expanding the Supreme Court
2. Admitting PR/DC as states
imo just mechanically vote for whichever Senate candidate promises most clearly to destroy the filibuster

Liam, 5, has been freed, but four other students from his school district remain detained in Texas. Two boys from his elementary school were taken Thurs
“This isn’t something we are prepared or trained for. We’ve dedicated our lives to protecting + educating children,” school superintendent told me

Big Tech doesn’t need free expression to make billions of dollars in advertising revenue. In fact, a more censorious platform full of only brand-safe speech is infinitely more profitable. Read my latest in @zeteo.com
The Disastrous Rollout of the Trump-Approved TikTok Serves as a Stark Warning for Us All
Big Tech platforms wield far too much power over our information landscape to continue operating without transparency.

Folds on the Kennedy Center 3 weeks ago: I was sick to my stomach when I quit because I knew they were going to run it into the ground. No one that they were appointing had any experience in arts administration, but that was never the point. The point was to take that, run over it, and move on.

Trump comments on every topic under the sun except one. Russia collusion. The perfect call. The stolen election. Hillary’s email. Sleepy Joe.
He never talks about Epstein … he admonishes journalists who bring him up.
That’s a tell.

“Not deeply involved in a teen rape ring for many years” is probably the lowest bar one could possibly set for a President (or any human really) and somehow Trump still can’t clear it.

The orange felon says he’s going to close The Kennedy Center for two years to destroy someone’s memorial with tacky updates.
Yet another disgraceful action taken by a vindictive jealous criminal who’s angry about people refusing to perform there after he trashed it up. I hate him.
