Agents have always skewed conservative. But then their influential union fully leaned into a Trump presidency.

Rendering a child unconscious and then locking him alone in a cell is inexcusable in any event, much less when he has not been violent

But as a reminder, the precipitating incident here was that a teenager did not want to get up in the morning

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

As I sometimes like to mention, s the only reason you know who Jeffrey Epstein is (that is, if you weren't one of his friends/clients/beneficiaries) is because Ms Brown, below, broke the story of his sweetheart deal to get out of the 2008 trafficking charges.

It begins. Clearly incriminating evidence against president of the United States.

Other folks have said it, but let me just note that:

(1) lots of talented, must-read journalists have been let go from their jobs over the last year

(2) millions of Americans are abandoning current media outlets and looking for new alternatives

Seems like a sure-fire business opportunity here?

as someone with two children who are talented at math and need (especially the younger one) a lot of help with social and emotional stuff this makes me want to scream

please help your children learn to interact with the world, it will make their lives (and everyone else’s!) so much easier
I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.

Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.
