The rebrand hasn’t exactly helped the Kennedy Center’s bottom line, though. As of October, “ticket sales for the Kennedy Center’s three largest performance venues are the worst they’ve been in years,” based on ... analysis of “ticketing data from dozens of recent shows as well as past seasons.”

I love how Bill Clinton just destroyed MAGA’s entire false equivalence Epstein argument
Clinton, as well as the Epstein survivors, demand that the DOJ release the remainder of the Epstein files, thus removing suspicions that Clinton is the reason the files have been kept private in the first place.

Misappropriation of funds, anyone?
@warren.senate.gov publishes a report listing all the $$ that Congress gave to DOD to do DOD things that DOD instead spent on Stephen Miller's snatch and grab.
As you look at these numbers, think how much cancer research could have been funded.

Bill Clinton isnt afraid of the Epstein files.
I did NOT expect him to call for the files that reference him to be released in accordance to the law so Im pretty surprised!
Is this a double fake out?

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense
One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself

Why would anyone risk themselves to go on 60 Minutes after this? How can viewers ever trust CBS News to report fairly on topics this White House is sensitive about?

Oh, honey, give it up. There is no way you needed to redact all of the text for 100+ pages to protect them. It’s a statute. It said release everything. We all know who you’re protecting
Blanche: "There were a number of photos that were pulled down after being released. That's bc a judge in NY ordered us to listen to any victim if they have concerns... even though there's repeated attempts by Dems to paint President Trump as part of the Epstein saga, it's failing over & over again"
