I cannot overemphasize that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Carlson, and Fuentes see a 2028 path to victory that involves building an isolationist populist coalition that traffics heavily in antisemitism and exploits existing negative sentiment against Israel.

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.

A senior academic using mentoring as leverage to obtain sex is a contemptible abuser of power.
Summers conferred with Epstein frequently about how to extract sexual favors from a Harvard econ grad (AB '04, PhD '09)
The grad is from China
Epstein and Summers referred to her by the codename "Peril"
Racism and sexual exploitation in one efficient package

My vibes based assessment is that Bezos was flirting with a presidential run and correctly understood controlling the media environment was vital but then he got bored/realized it’s better to just be a rich guy so the WaPo exists now as an abandoned wip for that ambition
WaPo is fascinating because I really can't tell what Bezos' play actually was here. It didn't have the readership for this, it's hemorrhaging subscribers and is probably unprofitable.
Was the goal to just kill the paper? I mean he could have just laid everyone off.
