Summers said he’s “ashamed” of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and would step back from public life. This time it should be for good.
Don't Let Larry Summers Back Into Polite Society
While Larry Summers’s “association” with Jeffrey Epstein was already known, this newest batch of emails reveals their relationship ran deep.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Khanna is intentionally dancing around it, but he's actually calling out a very real Democratic Party strategy called "rotating villain."
Khanna: And then it’s awfully convenient that those eight senators happen to be the ones who aren’t up in 2026—and they’re all consulting Schumer. People are sick of this. That’s why I called on Schumer to step down.

That the Trump White House and POTUS allies like Vivek Ramaswamy are now trying to sound more like Mamdani just highlights how much socialist candidates like him are the answer to Trumpism Democrats have been looking for.
He stood by trans folks and immigrants, still won young men, and GOP blinked.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Great actor, great presence, and according to friends who worked with him, a great guy.
Always a welcome presence in movies. My recommendation is to see him as the villainous cop in DOBERMANN, a movie I discovered thanks to @josholson.bsky.social & @trailersfromhell.bsky.social.
