DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:
"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

“Epstein Matter”:
1. Was the biggest sex trafficking operation in history;
2. Became a series of systematic, overlapping conspiracies over the course of decades, yet to fully unfold;
3. Remains an ongoing crime, led by U.S. DOJ, under direct control of the President;
4. Will end GOP power for good.

Unemployment is why inflation is moderating.
Still going up more than at the end of “Biden Economy,” but not bad.
Insane tariff clownery & deportation mayhem starting to overtake inflation as nail in coffin of “Trump Economy.”
And the safety net is gone.
But 6 guys have $3T.
Madness.
Cruelty.

“Affordability” is a coin with 2 sides:
Costs (inflation)+Wages (salaries).
Since 1980, powerful forces (GOP/right wing Oligarchs/S.Ct.) have seized nearly all political power over the economy to halt wage growth.
Millions work multiple jobs.
Billionaires get richer.
Unsustainable.

CBO’s own math: the GOP’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” adds about $3.4T to deficits. Keeping ACA enhanced subsidies costs about $0.35T over 10 years—roughly 10%. Letting them expire is a choice. (CBO/KFF)

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Rich Lowry is a bigoted piece of shit whose existence makes America a worse place. He's vapid patrician gentility used to mask gutter racism. He's a Brooks Brothers pocket square used to wipe Nick Fuentes' ass.
