To be clear, Trump saying that the release of the Epstein files will hurt his friends is an admission that there is no hoax and that he knows what's in the files.

NYT piece on Trump's abandonment of Ukraine is necessary reading but there are a few weird bits.
First, how do you drop the news that Kushner has done business w/Kirill Dmitriev w/o further context?
That was the barely disguised goal in Dmitriev's 2017 outreach.

I hope Democrats are linning up some seriously strong male candidates for the next presidential election. The country isn't ready for a woman president or Hillary or Kamala were both overqualified for that position & failed. Sad but true & they need to be prepared for a fight to the finish.

BREAKING
The Trump administration says it has frozen all childcare payments to Minnesota in the aftermath of allegations of fraud by some in the Somali community.
Important: allegations along these lines have existed for years, which has resulted in prosecutions starting with the Biden DOJ.

Funny how the loudest people screaming “release everything” suddenly go quiet when the documents point straight at their guy. This isn’t a conspiracy, it’s testimony, records, and a pattern they don’t want anyone looking too closely at.
