Time traveling back to 2009 just to read this sentence to myself as a 21 year old college student journalist
2009 me: "ohhh shit it's over for him now I bet"

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

It is hard to get over that the Q-Anon folks spent years feverishly looking in pizza parlors for the cabal of rich, elite pedophiles and it turns out THERE WAS ONE, right in front of their noses, which they failed to identify and instead voted for three times in a row.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

If Dems retake the House in 2026, they need to subpoena Sulzberger to find out how much the NYT knew about Epstein/Trump and why they didn't share it
An NYT reporter warns Jeffrey Epstein that folks are "digging around again" and may be a threat to him, but don't worry, NYT will always be on his sign.

low bar for civil higher bar for criminal. . at

I don’t mean to be glib but this is probably a more damning indictment of American elite culture than the Iraq Invasion.
Every single time! Epstein will write:
"porsecters h4arrsed me w/ sbuopenas al bcuase tr4ificing myners .due porcess much???no"
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."

DHS lies constantly, and this has been confirmed in court. There is no evidence that any shots were fired at federal agents. The fact that the claim has no known basis in fact should be out front here.
Department of Homeland Security agents were shot at during an immigration enforcement operation in Chicago Saturday, the agency said — as federal agents were also accused of using pepper spray and flash-bang grenades against protesters across the Chicago area.
