trying to take the long view and stay present in this moment. Do not want to add to the churn so preference people's own ideas, comments and questions.
Getting harder and harder to find anyone with any kind of morals in this story except the victims.
Michael Wolff tried to buy New York Mag — with money from Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein.

So Wolff didn't just have a reporter-source relationship with Epstein. Nor was Wolff his informal PR adviser. They saw each other as potential business partners.

The writer who features prominently in newly released Jeffrey Epstein emails has achieved extraordinary access but faced questions about his journalistic ethics

Is he prepping for becoming DJT2 when necessary.
Trump is more personally culpable for the high cost of housing than any undocumented immigrant ever could be.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

ALERT! ALERT! The new answer is "it has been destroyed." This month it is October Jobs data, 2 hours of Comey' Grand Jury, and now Broadview's CCTV. The new version of 18.5 minutes from the Nixon tapes oh so long ago. Get this FOIA requests out there fast on everything!
Oh so they are doing torture torture
An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today:

ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.

Hello...when did overtime pay up to 25K if filing jointly get exempted in this big ugly bill? This is a clear bribe to first responders, primarily police officers. The internet tells me electricians, plumbers and fork lift drivers and truckers (who are highly regulated driving time so ???)
Hmmmm wouldn’t he need jobs data to know this?
Hassett: "The Council of Economic Advisers informs me that they think we're probably gonna see something like 60,000 job losses because of the shutdown, and it'll take a while to get that back."

This little man is out of control.

I feel like I’m saying that all the time.
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

Bill Pulte has already come under scrutiny for illegally looking up the other fake charges and he's at it again.

Should be fun with #ETTD hits him.

When all this comes flying back at Pulte—and it most assuredly will—will the expected pardon from Trump save him?

But no suing Texas? This ought to be some crazy pretzel shaping.

I bet JD Vance sees a real doctor who follows scientifically-tested best practices, not a "do your own research" quack, and that his kids have had their standard child vaccinations.

Anyone want to take the other side of that bet? No? Think he's just lying to pander to people he looks down on? Yeah.

To be fair, they aren't on any side and I suspect would love a more consistent, less capricious and favor demanding exec. What they don't have is integrity.
Google made it clear which side it was on when it changed the Gulf of Mexico's name early in the Trump 2.0 regime.

REMEMBER EVERYBODY: JD Vance and Mike Johnson are part of the cover-up! This is an essential point for everyone to understand.

@michaelfanone.bsky.social on Border Patrol boss Greg Bovino: "He's a very sadistic individual that clearly revels and takes joy in the pain and suffering of others. So I look forward to some accountability when it comes to Bovino and seeing that guy on the other side of jail cell bars."

This indeed!
A reminder that the Epstein files aren't a distraction from the oligarchy. They're an integral part of it.
A reminder: The perpetrators in the Epstein files are Oligarchs, and so are the ones protecting them.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"
November 12, 2025 at 10:39 PM
Again we are being told the truth. Will we do anything about it? People who are represented by Lindsay Graham, call his office and object!
AOC: How can we, as members of congress, Republican or Democrat, vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people? That is what this legislation does. In fact, Senator Graham said he was going to seek well over $1 million from the American people, from this.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

My god (sorry I’m late on a bunch of this stuff. But wow!)

According to this NYT report, the head of the FBI and the Attorney General are holding meetings *in the Situation Room* with GOP lawmakers they are trying to pressure to rescind their votes to release the Epstein info. This is madness.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.
