It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

One caution I'd offer as everyone goes through these emails is that *Jeffrey Epstein* (of all people) saying something in an email does not automatically make it true!

HUNT: Do you think President Trump is a lame duck?

SEN. KENNEDY: Well, he can't run again. Yes.

Imagine trying to convince someone a decade ago that this sentence would be a 100% literally accurate description of the American political situation.
The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

Someone named Daniel Siad tells Epstein in an email that the owner of Noah Models used to "scout for Trump."

Noah Models was featured in this 2011 PBS documentary, about 12, 13 year old girls being scouted in Siberia for international modeling, and the predatory results.

bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

One of the coolest things about #TeslaTakedown is that it's not just about "sending a message." It's about attaching a stigma to driving a certain make of car, which is the one source of profit for a financial bubble that props up the most powerful racist alive.

It's protest as direct action.

Stop me if you've heard this before:

If the NYT still had a public editor, that person would have official standing to ask, WTF???

They axed the public editor. So it's up to the rest of us to ask, unofficially, WTF???
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

NYT: But our emails
Landon Thomas Jr of the New York Times got told by Jeffrey Epstein that Trump walked into a glass door bc he was so busy staring at girls in Epstein's house and didn't print it. wild that the Times didn't consider that newsworthy.

One reason you hold a meeting to pressure/cajole/threaten Boebert in the Situation Room is so she can't record it.

At this point, maybe we should call them Trump Files with a little bit of Epstein thrown in

Here’s what is interesting about this answer: It is not a “no.” bsky.app/profile/just...
CBS News' Weijia Jiang: "Did the president ever spend hours at Jeffrey Epstein’s house with a victim?"

Karoline Leavitt: "These emails prove nothing other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong."
