BREAKING: We now have a good idea of why Trump rushed to contact PBPD—one of the first to do so—when he learned Epstein was under investigation in 2007. It was a CYA; per his pal Lutnick, it was widely believed Epstein had blackmail on men he'd been hanging out with.
Trump's commerce secretary calls Jeffrey Epstein the 'greatest blackmailer'
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told an interviewer he found Jeffrey Epstein, his next-door neighbor, "gross" when they first met in 2005.

T-34 tanks with reinforced armour entered production in early 1942. #OTD in 1942 this order was cancelled. The tanks with extra armour were a lot more time consuming to build without much extra benefit. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

The only way to disprove the claim that he's in the Epstein files one million times is to release them in full. But they won't.

Seems extremely telling of the paper that they would let there be an "anonymous spokesperson". What canon of journalistic ethics permits _that_?
Extremely telling that Tricia McLaughlin won’t put her name behind the defenses of like 12 different scandals here and is instead quoted as an anonymous “DHS spokeswoman.”

The second reported endangered North Atlantic right whale death this year and it isn't even March. A 3-year-old female.

For context, scientists think these animals can live until at least 70, but human activities kill them so often before that it's uncertain.

"They went into Minneapolis with the assumption that we'd see the equivalent of George Floyd...they wanted to provoke this. And the discipline that freedom-loving Americans have shown in this—I think it's been incredible."

Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005.

🚨In December 2016, Epstein invited Bill Gates to his island and informed him that “new administration people” were visiting.

This was sent exactly one month before Trump was inaugurated for his first term.

This is epic.
At around the 1:10 mark, he lets the mask slip, as it were, by suggesting that the freakout about the Super Bowl halftime show was rooted in some sort of legit angst about the erasure of white identity.
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.
