So, uh, the Jed Rubenfeld referenced here was disciplined by Yale Law for sexually harassing students. He's married to Amy Chua who among other things took to the pages of the NYT to defend Kavanaugh when he was under fire for sexually harassment. Ken Starr, well we know. This is just incredible.
Ken Starr signed an email to Jeffery Epstein with "hugs"

@nytimes.com is wholly culpable. In All Matters Regarding Trump. It's why Maggie Haberman walks the street on the Trump beat
Fall 2017: Then-NYT reporter literally warning Epstein that someone is "digging around again."

Robert Garcia says House Democrats are likely to release more Epstein-related documents later today and adds, "we want to know why Donald Trump spent the entire campaign saying he would release the files and now that he's in the White House, there's a massive coverup going on."

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

OMG. The site is literally called the Dunning Kruger Times.
With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Went back to the history of the Sicilian Mafia to illustrate something obvious but worth stating explicitly: The Trump administration behaves like an organized crime syndicate running a protection racket, not a representative government www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

This is the shit not enough people are talking about. The psychological stress and torture of knowing you literally cannot feed your family, or even just yourself. People that skipped meals, kids that saw empty pantries. None of this is okay, and every bit of it is unnecessary.
New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks.

I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:
The voices of SNAP
Recipients have become political pawns. They explained, in their own words, what Trump withholding funds has been like.

Texas approves "parents rights" amendment that could enable harm against kids - LGBTQ Nation
The "vague and broad" amendment could enable parents to justify child abuse or allow state agents to arbitrarily define acceptable parental standards.

Murder Was The Case
The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists.

They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver.

The thing abt minutiae that led to sandwich guy being acquitted (this is fr @mollyroberts.bsky.social's account), is you'll be able to match it side-by-side w/the debate at SCOTUS abt tariffs less than a mile away, that may determine the fate of the Republic.

The Epstein Files must be godawful for Republicans to want to screw up the airlines for Thanksgiving. And send US troops to German food banks. And starve poor folks. And jack up health care costs.

It must be an existential threat to the GOP
