It’s a must-read. Guess I’m sticking with the NYT.
@anandwrites.bsky.social has nailed in this piece what has been grinding away at my gut since my own review of the Epstein files— that there truly is an “Epstein class” of elites, inured to the pain of the rest of us, committed to their own ends no matter the cost.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.
It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

The answer is empathy and compassion.

Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border.
This is how the police dealt with them.
Literally beat the hell out of them.
This is Trump's police state America, coming to a protest near you.

Because I complain so much about NPR and PBS news, I need to say as publicly as possible that this morning’s Weekend Edition show with Ayesha Rascoe was first-rate. Keep it up.

A DC staffer for my rep Juan Ciscomani just told me that I cannot FOIA the results of a 4- or 5-question survey that Ciscomani did with ~3000 voters during a telephonic Townhall last month. This was after telling me that the survey results were private. Is it true that I cannot FOIA these results?

I’ve severed ties with Meta and WaPo and Amazon (and X, way before). Now, what to do about Gmail? Much harder. Any advice?I’m phoning my swing district Mexican immigrant congressman a couple times a week — Ciscomani (R) in AZ. Not so sure what to ask of our two senators. Again, ideas are welcome.
