Starting up #FridayNightZillow
In Cuba, Missouri, we can get a 14BR, 14BA lodge on the river for just $850K. It has a heckuva back story: Originally built as a brothel for local fur trappers, it later was frequented by famous St. Louis mobsters. +Bald eagles!

A huge district court victory for the University of California.

District courts find facts. This one found "overwhelming evidence" that the Trump administration has pervasively violated the First Amendment in its efforts to coerce and intimidate the University of California.

‘Unlawful coercion’: Trump can’t withhold funds or demand payment from UC, federal judge rules
A federal judge ruled Donald Trump cannot demand that UCLA pay a $1.2 billion settlement that would have restricted academic freedoms.

The book from which this portrait is pulled — I believe — is Manchester’s history of the Krupp family. It’s a worthwhile work (even if it met with mixed reviews), and should be required reading for anyone who still trusts Silicon Valley after their fawning over the present administration.
Photographers know how to not do this when they want.

In Sept, my colleagues & I published one of the first stories in our series from the trove of 18K emails we obtained from Jeffrey Epstein's private Yahoo acct.

This email Maxwell sent to Epstein on Aug 23, 2007 still piques my interest

The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

In July, an FBI memo about the Epstein case said: “We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.”
But in a desperate deflection today, Trump ordered AG Bondi to investigate Bill Clinton. She got right on it.
These people make dirt look clean.

there is actually a story in this revolting Nuzzi piece if you sandblast away the lies about a hot young woman being "in love" with a guy old enough to be her grandfather who looks like a catcher's mitt and sounds like an evil muppet

Pam Bondi on Feb. 21: Epstein client list is “sitting on my desk right now.”
Bondi’s DOJ on July 7: There’s no client list. As for other Epstein files, “no further disclosure would be appropriate.”
Trump on Nov. 14: Investigate Bill Clinton over Epstein.
Bondi, also Nov. 14: Coming right up, boss!

Corporate Media is normalizing the end of rule-of-law.
In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.
