In related news about the Washington Post and the state of journalism today, Amazon "ran a $1.2 billion tax bill last year, down from $9 billion the previous year, even as its profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion."
That's in the wake of the 2025 tax bill

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts
The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

pro tip - there are 10 million Jewish people in America
they are not all responsible for one gross guy who happened to be Jewish who liked to rape kids
Israel wasn't responsible for him either, cause he wasn't from there
so... can we ease back on the Antisemitism?

Folks, it's simple
Everybody who associated with Jeffrey Epstein needs to publicly apologize, make no excuses, then immediately retire from public life entirely & donate 100% of their assets to a charity that helps sex trafficking survivors (GEMS here in NYC is a good choice)

Maybe this newspaper should do some soul searching about how we ended up in a world where this is the sort of thing a major newspaper assumes every reader needs to know.
