“In that same court document, it is revealed that Epstein took the then 14-year-old to Mar-a-Lago in 1994, where she was introduced to Donald Trump. According to the files, Epstein elbowed Trump playfully asking him, "This is a good one, right?" with Trump smiling and nodding in agreement.”

I don't think people realize how big a deal Interlochen is in the classical music world for kids. Premier place in the country to spend the summer if you are a band kid. For $25k Epstein was allowed to use it to recruit victims. This scandal touches so many parts of society.

I don't recall a time when saying Merry Christmas was ever banned under Biden or Obama. How strange.

I don't think most Americans have any idea how dangerous it is for a president to declare an entire ethnic group to be "garbage." This is how the worst atrocities in human history have begun.

9. This now-defunct case was brought by the FTC under
Lina Khan, with Commissioners @bedoyausa.bsky.social and Becca Slaughter. They deserve huge credit for this investigation and for their commitment to the law and to the fairness it proscribes.

7. One other big reveal in the evidence is that Walmart appears to have violated the law too by pressuring Pepsi for illegal and unfair discounts.

6. Why does Pepsi do this? Walmart’s promise is: Keep us the king of our domain and we’ll make you the king of yours. Walmart helps Pepsi dominate the drink market in exchange for Pepsi ensuring that Walmart dominates groceries.

5. Another example involves Food Lion. Pepsi sees Food Lion as the "worst offender," because it prices Pepsi products below Walmart. So Pepsi creates a multi-year roadmap to force Food Lion to raise its prices.

4. The examples are stunning. Here's one: Pepsi executives notice that Walmart's price gap is shrinking in its South Division. Pepsi's "Pricing Council" creates extensive plan to ensure other retailers are no longer selling Pepsi products for less than Walmart.

3. Pepsi monitors prices at Walmart's competitors. If they see other grocery stores starting to match or beat Walmart on price, an alarm goes off in Pepsi and a team swings into action.

2. The evidence we can now see demolishes the core argument made by opponents of the Robinson-Patman Act. They claim not enforcing the law has led to lower prices. But this new material shows the opposite: Pepsi forced all grocers besides Walmart to raise their prices.

1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.

Pepsi worked to keep prices higher at retailers to help Walmart, according to an FTC lawsuit that the agency dropped earlier this year. Unredacted portions were recently unsealed.

The U.S. government just banned five people from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech. This ban, according to the State Department, is necessary to protect free speech.

If that sounds insane to you, congratulations on your reading comprehension.

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice.

The result is demagoguery and corruption.
