Geez I hate thinking about Epstein’s crimes, but I was myself a 13-year-old girl. I knew lots of other 13-year-old girls at the time. In terms of sexual maturity, some were a bit mature, and some were not at all. But none of them wanted to have sex with a 40-year-old man. Not one. None.

1. The Trump administration has just quietly updated the State Department website to indicate that it may invalidate transgender people's passports.
This comes a week after a SCOTUS ruling blocking lower rulings allowing trans people to update them.

It’s likely Donald never had a friend before Jeffrey appeared to be his very best friend, and Donald was so impressed that Jeffrey wanted to give him girls and the girls pretended to like him. My thoughts run this way every time I see a photo showing the two of them together.

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Remember the immigration raid on the apartment complex in Chicago almost two months ago? The one with the Black Hawk helicopter and federal agents rappelling on ropes? @ProPublica decided to take a deeper look. We found little evidence to support the government’s claims. 🧵

Kings: For most of history, most of them did not control big territories. Each king had a carved-out area and tried to expand it by fighting other kings. War was constant. The majority of people were always poor because they were repeatedly ransacked and losing everything.

Today I went to buy a manual can opener because the local food pantry said people need can openers. Holy cow, $16?! Yeah no wonder people with limited income can’t afford a can opener—that’s like five meals, right?
