Redaction immediately following "Trump is gross" is intriguing. Remember that the principal justification for redactions is protecting the victims. Here it would be important to pursue the question of why this was redacted and whether the victim will consent to revealing what lies beneath.

I love that we barely have reporters covering local news any more, but we can pay people hundreds of thousands of dollars to generate daily analysis about narratives about whether something is news
Wild to watch playbook run cover for this particular Trump scandal

This article is utterly damning for the New York Times and also for Vanity Fair and ABC, whose editorial teams were apparently intimidated into silence by a mix of legal and violent threats. Virginia Giuffre did not stand a chance against all this.
This story by @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social about Landon Thomas, former NYT reporter now appearing in the latest email tranche, soliciting a $30k contribution from Jeffrey Epstein?

"Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein" is a phrase that first appeared in newspapers in March 2011 and appeared regularly from that point onward. it is INCONCEIVABLE to me that this many people were still associating with him!!

This probably sounds rich coming from me, but I think the trick is to say it starkly straightforwardly: "These are very bad people & we can't have a good society with them in charge"
man we need a way to say "the moral rot and depravity of this country's elite must be burned out of it with cleansing fire" that isn't wildly reactionary-coded

I have in my hands definitive evidence that my opponent has committed a world-historic evil. Evidence that, were it to be released to the public, would cause his supporters to abandon him and his entire world to crumble to dust. I therefore have no choice but to give in to every one of his demands

“The president is a pedophile who is starving your kids, crashing your planes, and destroying your healthcare.” Republicans certainly are not above this rhetoric, and in our case the rhetoric has the benefit of being true.
Personally I think if you had these documents in hand you should not have backed down out of any fucking shutdown fight

"This could take down Democrats, too."
I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.
Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

Every single time! Epstein will write:

and then there's, like, the former president of a university or white house counsel or something replying:
"You're totally right, and also I love you with all my heart."

Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????
