Rupert Murdoch was infamously in Epstein’s Black Book. Punch Sulzberger tried to get Epstein to come to The NY Times.
And then there is Maggie Haberman whose mom literally worked for Epstein’s (and Trump’s!) publicist.
No disclosures anywhere. No nothing. Quite the oversight!

It's because she doesn't know how to be the head of CBS News. Just no clue what a person in this role does. Similar to how Pete Hegseth and Sean Duffy don't know how to be cabinet secretaries.
A hallmark of this movement is people being out of their depth. It says, "expertise is unnecessary."

And yet in RFK Jr’s recent MAHA report, published by the White House, called “Make Our Children Healthy Again,” there was not a single mention of guns
Not one mention of the top cause of child death in America

In my opinion the president shouldn't constantly be like "Holy shit did you guys see this?" and repeating a thing he kinda heard on TV. I don't think that should be mostly what the president does.
He issued a correction, proving why he needs to stfu and let the cops do their jobs.
It’s a a goddamned ongoing tragedy, not a reality TV show, primed for him to drop the big reveal.

When you can’t say “sorry we capitulated to bigots” because you’re afraid the bigots might hear you, so you just throw some glitter around and hope for the best.
The chain unveiled its first-ever concept store in SoHo this week, adorned with stylish apparel, designer collaborations, and beauty products — all key areas that its incoming CEO hopes will revive its former "Tar-zhay" glory.

Nobody wants to buy Deere anymore because they tried to force farmers to get repairs from them instead of being able to make repairs themselves.
Tractor maker Deere has warned that US President Donald Trump’s tariffs are backfiring on American farmers, prompting cash-strapped producers to delay replacing aging equipment. Deere has had to cut production and workers and says it is likely to cut more jobs in 2026. www.ft.com/content/523a...

I always run into Brad Lander around the neighborhood because he's on his way to help people out; Goldman was supposed to be at a community meeting (of mostly elderly folks!) who had all come out to talk with him, and at the last minute, he FaceTimed in from his car instead, and left the call early.
I've probably photographed Brad Lander more than any other elected in NYC because the dude shows up. He's everywhere, he's incredibly accessible, and he genuinely loves New Yorkers. You can literally go up and talk to him whenever he shows up. Go ahead, try it!
(I have NEVER seen Goldman ANYWHERE.)

David Ellison appears to be mortified that CBS/60 Minutes is “going rogue” by covering the news and by keeping him “in the dark” about a segment critical of Trump.
Because Ellison doesn’t realize that’s how it’s supposed to work.

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵
