“On a podcast last year, Howard Lutnick described being so revolted by a mid-2000s visit to Mr. Epstein’s Manhattan mansion that he decided to ‘never be in a room with that disgusting person ever again.’
“Lutnick’s disgust appeared to prove temporary.”

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I testified Friday before Gov. Pritzker's commission studying abuses of ICE and CBP and tried to explain how the agencies went so far off track. It's actually way worse than I ever realized. Please read and share my testimony as Congress considers reform: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...
Accountability for ICE and CBP
However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is — the reality is far far worse.

And one reason that federal funding agencies became such a huge target in Project 2025 were the evidence-based efforts that were (slowly) shifting policies so that this public good would actually fund scientific research that included and benefitted all Americans, not just white cis men

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

I find it kinda astonishing all these people who have spent so many years in public life, many of them media/ PR pros, didn’t think to get ahead of these stories. Did they really think it’d never come out? Bowles & Weiss never thought to mention it to ‘Free Press’ subscribers?
