At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

@mikesacks.bsky.social Doesn't this mean I'm better off with a GOP representative? You know, just in case.

P.S. Is Mike Lawler married?
IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO DO SOME CRIMES AND WANT TO GET AWAY WITH IT:
*Become a Republican member of Congress
*Donate money to President Trump or cronies
*Marry a Republican member of Congress
NEW: Trump pardons the husband of GOP Rep. Diana Harshbarger.

Bob Harshbarger pleaded guilty to fraud & distributing kidney drugs from China that weren't FDA approved.

His wife was an officer in the company, but claimed she wasn't involved.

The WH says the pardon was not related to his last name

Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for assisting in & participating in the rape of countless children & without explanation, the Trump admin moved her to a Club Fed where she is now being waited on hand & foot & they even gave her a fucking puppy.

Anyone wanna explain that?

I very much liked some parts of an old 44K story and not others. So I'm doing a major rewrite. A couple of connected New York romances I hope to get out by the end of the month. And playing with possible covers.

Somehow I don't think the threat of some families moving out of NYC and taking their kids out of elite Manhattan schools because of Mamdani is going to be as crippling as the NY Post seems to think it will be.

Parents began planning to take their kids out of NYC schools minutes after Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral win
A top school placement consultant says he’s been flooded with calls since the election results came in.

This is the kind of thing which makes me think better things are possible.
WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.

Last night's elections are over. This morning's Supreme Court arguments in the tariffs case are about to begin at 10 a.m. IT NEVER ENDS!

Disposable cheap N95 respirators are one of the greatest inventions in medical history. We *accidentally* drove one of the circulating flu strains *EXTINCT* in the wild early in COVID!
N95s can prevent more than just Covid!

They stop colds, flus and other airborne illness.

They’re also highly effective against pollen, pollution, wildfire smoke and environmental triggers.

Many maskers haven’t been sick in years.

Respirators are pretty amazing.

Throwback. My second/last marathon. 2006. On Fifth. With my distinctive head tilt. My wife said she could always know it was me by that tilt, which I never realized I had until I saw pictures.

After I got my bag, I met her on W77th. She hugged me. Said she didn't understand it but was happy for me.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

In Durango, Colorado, ICE GOONS violently assaulted an elderly woman during a peaceful protest. They stole her phone, grabbed her by the hair, and threw her down a hill.
