Shocking that the antisemites have gained such a strong foothold in the coalition. Almost as if the furor on the right about antisemitism wasn't really based in concern about the welfare and safety of Jews. Could Nick Fuentes be worse for the Jews than college stus waving Palestinian flags??

But this is a massive and generational destruction of expertise, experience, and trust. It won't be rebuilt easily, if at all.

We can and will count up what has happened quantitatively across many dimensions, but let's try never to lose track of the personal costs. If you are/were a federal worker, all I can say right now is I'm sorry and I believe in the value of your labor.

It's in my book, but the prosecution of a guy accused of engaging in illegal interracial sexual intimacy turned on proving his race. The prosecutor qualified an 80+ YO Black midwife as an expert witness to establish that he was Black. Defense attorney tried to shake her, but she wasn't having it.

I can read the CV, look up the cite count, and see the journal titles myself. What I need you to do as an external reviewer is situate the candidate's work in the field and evaluate the scholarship's quality and contributions.

Important note: there's some evidence to suggest this is not real. I'll probably take this down in a few hours.

I feel like we should be discussing more the irony that the implementation of an imperial unitary executive coincides with a person serving as president who has little to no involvement in or knowledge about anything important that is happening.

President Trump has responded to the release of the Epstein files, saying Monday that the release of photos risked ensnaring "highly respected" people with no connection to Epstein's crimes.
Trump calls release of photos of Clinton and others in Epstein files "a terrible thing"

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

I did know Bear. He was a brilliant guy, but also just one of the nicest and most genuine people you'd ever meet. He touched a lot of lives for the better.
