Trump, who says he had "no idea" at the time that Epstein sexually molested girls, told the police in 2006 that "everyone has known he’s been doing this.” That's according to an FBI interview with the then-Palm Beach police chief.
Here's a gift link to Julie K. Brown's article in the Miami Herald.

Trump told Palm Beach police chief ‘everyone’ knew about Epstein, Maxwell was ‘evil’
The new information comes as Ghislaine Maxwell was summoned to appear Monday before a Congressional committee.

My 80-year-old mother tells me she loved the halftime show, thinks Bad Bunny is adorable, has been a fan of his for a while (!) and thinks his music is great. “How could you not love him?” She also liked the dancing a lot and was delighted by the people dressed as grass.

"it’s hard to find anything that Lewis did at the Post that could be hailed as successful or even innovative."
The Washington Post just experienced a week that will live in infamy - Poynter
The week’s upheaval ended with CEO Will Lewis stepping aside after being missing in action as the newsroom was cut

Paige’s last story for us, now atop the homepage, shows what we lost.
She could have done a quick hit on Oz telling Americans to delay retirement, but instead delivered a comprehensive piece rich in policy analysis, data, voices of real people and a rare non-TV interview with Oz wapo.st/4rHUCC6

A lot of great journalism takes time, support and money.
In 2021, I FOIA’d the database of USPS’s New Deal art, and each work’s condition.
In 2022, records came back with a massive spreadsheet & 1,700+ historical photos.
In 2024, I wrote the first draft of this story, at home in bed with Covid.
And now, we can finally bring you the full project.

The disappearing art gallery in your post office
The U.S. Postal Service is home to thousands of historic works of art in post offices nationwide. Hundreds have been lost, sold or destroyed.

In the 80 years since, hundreds of those works have gone missing, were sold or destroyed.
We found them. And found photos. They’re glorious.

This is very true — any journalist can confirm that the most important stories often aren't the ones that get the most clicks — but it also bears endless repeating that Bezos isn't even succeeding by his own journalistically bankrupt metric! The Post has hemorrhaged readers because of his decisions!
This just shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how to do news. Data helps, but data doesn’t tell a reporter to spend a years-long investigation into child labor or an editor to place staff in a country on the brink of war. What exactly does Bezos think WaPo’s “journalistic mission” is?
Jeff Bezos' statement, his first since last week's layoffs: "The Post has an essential journalistic mission and an extraordinary opportunity. Each and every day our readers give us a roadmap to success. The data tells us what is valuable and where to focus."
