Epstein was incensed. He and his attorneys took steps to back out of the NPA he’d signed. On Oct. 15, 2007, Epstein sent himself an email and attached a word document he wrote titled, “Did you know that.”

In Nov 2007, Jeffrey Epstein sent himself an email with a document attached titled, “Acosta challenge.” It was intended for his attorneys to send to Alex Acosta after they met with him. The letter criticized the federal prosecutor who pursued his alleged money laundering.

Thank vou for your time on wed. It was verv informative. I was quite surprised to learn that both vou and vour office are committed to a level playing field. The horizontal equity, policy to which you referred has clearly not been exercised in this case. The policy clearly implies that a man of wealth of should be treated no differently than any of those less fortunate . That has certainly not happened here .Though many cases of a similar and even more serious nature have been resolved with a sentence of house arrest,(even the madam in the recent Kuton case) we were told that it was not available to my client, because it would be considered "mansion" arrest . My client, under investigation for a sex offense, has been asked for his income tax returns, all bank accounts, his medical records , threatened with a money laundering charge, though the minimum pre- requisite of a specified unlawful activity could not be described. , and even a money transmitting business violation , where in fact no business even existed. In addition , Marie called his largest business client directly. With no justification .

An inconvenient truth. @turnbulldugarte.com and @emiliabelknap.bsky.social puncture a pervasive myth. ‬ "Among young respondents aged 18-25, a very comfortable majority of women reject Reform UK (75%), and a similarly large majority of men in the same age group share the same view (71%)."

The underlying fundamental economics have changed dramatically: solar is now so cheap that businesses and households all around the world install it often without subsidies. Throw in batteries and the business case just keeps improving.

Mannheim 🇩🇪 takes the lead 🥇 with the 165 MW (an increase from the planned 150 MW) heat pump, extracting heat from the river, prosaically named 'Flusswärmepumpe 2'.

The Rhine, like other rivers a source of German lyric, surely deserves a better name for something to which it gives so much warmth?

Did you hear about this new study recommending that the Democrats move right on most issues?

Well, I just took a moment to dig into their data — and, lo!, it is nonsense.

They're testing not voters' opinions about policies, but the parties' MESSAGING about policies — which is very different!

Good morning with good news: New solar plus storage in India is more than 25% cheaper than EXISTING coal plants. It's also much cheaper than new coal plants!

Indian solar plus storage costs $33–41/MWh
EXISTING coal costs $54/MWh
New coal costs $67-83/MWh

The EU should tax these profits to reduce Europeans’ exposure to energy price spikes, or end fossil fuel subsidies.
