On the left, RFKJr in 2020, denouncing Monsanto--"the enemy of every American value"--and cheering its court loss on glyphosate (Roundup).

On the right, RFKJr in 2025, obediently cheering Donald Trump's executive order boosting the production of glyphosate.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
 
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
 
Not one dime for this cruelty.

If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.

Last week the far right started peddling a narrative that the outrage over Epstein is a moral panic. Today, like clockwork, a more polite version of that narrative appears in the Atlantic.

1. People struggle to reconcile Keir Starmer’s ruthless ambition, Machiavellian manoeuvres, breaking of promises, collaboration in genocide, bans on protest, aid cuts, benefit cuts and war on nature with his history as a human rights lawyer. But perhaps there is no contradiction.

Carville became famous for saying he wanted in his next life to be reincarnated as the bond market. The political junkies found this wise beyond years, and finance people found this useful to wield as a weapon against the public.

True story.

It birthed the dems as the GOP austerity cleanup crew.

Saw a Bulwark guy say that anybody who thinks James Carville is a problematic figure can't win Texas and my only reaction is that I straight up don't know who that is

The ARISTOCRATS is the joke that keeps on giving because it contains a kernel of truth on human class domination.
I hate everything about this

"Lady Victoria Hervey, ex girlfriend of Andrew Windsor who previously claimed that the picture of him and Virginia Guiffre was fake and she could prove it. Is now calling people who are not in the Epstein files "losers." "

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved.

DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.
EXCLUSIVE: Terez Metry was 13 when her family fled to Tennessee from Egypt in 2011. Then, they left her behind. She only recently discovered she had an order of removal from 2011. But she was following the legal path to citizenship. On Monday, at a routine DHS meeting, Metry was detained.

The best part of the country is the lies we told ourselves about who we are, and that some of us still try to live up to that. The worst part of the country are the people who know they are lies and act accordingly.

Nothing in this country is more important than the careers, status and clout of these awful, selfish people. Not you or me, not the wellbeing of your loved ones, not your children’s future. All of it secondary to the personal interests of a tiny number of dorks in London that nobody likes or wants.

So back in 2012 Elon Musk spent Xmas morning at 6am, writing a begging email to Ye Olde Pal Jeffrey to please find him a spot in the holiday festivitas on pederast island?

The elites of this planet do come off sounding like a mashup of Black Mirror & In The Thick of It.

Civil litigator here with years of experience of business people’s emails to each other in disclosed evidence for disputes.

As a general rule: the senior the business person, the less effort they put into emails, and the more effort expected from those reading them.

Effectively a mark of rank.

For years, an online meme phrase spread in the Ukrainian segment of internet, saying that a pedophile lobby was working against Ukraine. Seeing how many anti-Ukrainian figures show up in the Epstein files, from US elites to officials in Slovakia, it no longer feels like a joke

What I’m seeing here is that Epstein is a nexus point for the “intellectual” cabal that shores up the race science justifying our current immigration and anti-DEI policies (Huberman), as well the tone policing moderates (Brooks) that hamstrings oppositions. Oh and their billionaire benefactors.

If we trace the major members of the anti-woke backlash in the New York media class through the Epstein files what you find is that they mainly were concerned that they couldn’t openly be eugenicist nor openly argue that their better genes meant they should get to rape all the kids they could.
Jeffrey Epstein, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Marc Andreessen share an enduring fascination with eugenics, race science, and transhumanism and there is an entire generation of public intellectuals who benefited and continue to benefit from their patronage.

Pinker, Huberman, Attia, Weinstein, etc.
