Wow! Letter from Epstein to a convicted sex offender Larry Nassar right before Epstein’s death.

This was in the files the DOJ released last night and then removed from their site.

Shell game ...

Washington Post:

>>The Trump administration will repurpose $2.6 billion in military housing assistance to pay $1,776 “warrior dividend” bonuses to service members, according to a senior administration official.>>

... by Washington Post. Big difference against Trump administration SAYS it "views as a growing threat."

Why is any reporter covering the White House taking these people at their word? At least protect the paper.
Written credulously ...

>>Bondi has tasked the agency with using those files to draw up lists of Americans and foreigners to investigate as part of a campaign directed by President Donald Trump against what his administration views as a growing threat of political violence by the American left.>>

Hundreds of Congress members and Senators endorse this with their silence.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

And the cavalry comes to the GOP's rescue once again:

“The District Court improperly inserted itself into an active primary campaign, causing much confusion and upsetting the delicate federal-state balance in elections,” the court said.

This sounds like, "Well, we'd pay you more, but it would ruin the economy."

@robertreich.substack.com.web.brid.gy Hi, Robert, this sounds like a 1 percent talking point. How true is this? Per an economist, lower prices would "make the cost of hiring workers extremely high, and that might trigger a recession ... This is why economists are very concerned about deflation.”

As far as Black Friday deals go, ticket buyers to Friday’s midday showdown between the NHL’s two hottest teams certainly got their money’s worth.

Has anyone thought to look at Turmp with the Rowdy glasses on?

>>EPA will abandon air pollution rule that the agency has said would prevent thousands of U.S. deaths>>

Is that Kareem in the video of Turmp judging John Casablancas’ teen beauty pageant?

This guy is a true idiot.
Bessent: "Ezra Klein took the mask off. He said, 'This wasn't about healthcare. This was about stopping totalitarianism.' Democrats haven't been able to stop President Trump in the courts, they haven't been able to stop him in the media. So they had to harm the American people."
