NEW

House Oversight Democrats are releasing another round of files obtained from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate.

These are from Epstein island.

One image is of a chalkboard with the words “Deception”, “power”, “plans to be free.”

Another image is of what looks to be a dentist’s chair.

wow jim mcgreevey! tbt
RESULT: James Solomon will be the next mayor of Jersey City.

Solomon, running on a more progressive lane with WFP support, has easily defeated the establishment candidate Jim McGreevey, the former governor who resigned in scandal two decades ago.

every single course????????? who is doing this work?
TX Tech has a flow chat for guidance on what can be taught in the university system. Two things:
1. Very little content seems to be permitted. This is partisan control of the curriculum.
2. I would not enjoy teaching under these conditions, but I really would not want to be a Chair or Dean.

the fact that the speaker and president have to BEG folks to vote in in a trump +22 district is really a sign of complete political MAGA collapse

Both Knives Out and Glass Onion are more interested in offering takes on old money and tech bros respectively, and that’s fine! Glass Onion’s portrayal of tech world idiocy remains one of my favorites. But a thoughtful exploration of why something can offer meaning? Mwah!!

a few candidates have talked about this but any Dem planning to run in 2028 should make it explicit: the next DOJ will, in fact, go after you if you’re funding this awful ballroom, or any other pay to play deals you make with this administration
Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

The fact doomers have gone from "America is over" to "Dems won't hold anyone responsible when this is over" can actually be read as an optimistic signal imo.

This is honestly what I've been stuck on all day, in addition to the absurd level of weakness it exposes.

This is the "weird," but in their use of the office.
Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is.

There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”
Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

Back when there were TV movies about suburban women losing their grip, they would style them like this in the scene where the family can no longer deny there is a problem.
Nancy Mace: "You can see in the Epstein emails that he's clearly targeting President Trump as retribution for him being a good man ... he's a good man who protects women. That's what real men do."

And I’ll also note that the president chastises the ABC News reporter, saying that she is embarrassing a guest by asking about Jamal Khashoggi and 9/11 — as if it’s her responsibility to care about the feelings of a foreign official.
1. Trump suggests that Jamal Khashoggi may have deserved to be assassinated or at least should not be a sympathetic figure, and then says that the Saudi Crown Prince was unaware in advance of the assassination plot.

Trump’s own intel agencies concluded that MBS was aware in advance of the plot.
