There's a point, well below a billion dollars, where the amount of money you have lets you rid yourself of anyone who can be a check on your worst impulses, and replace them with people who tell you those worst impulses are somehow valorous. Rare is the billionaire with someone to tell them "no."
You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity

Used to think it was unrealistic in martial arts movies how henchmen would watch the hero kill like 50 other henchmen right before and then still charge at the hero, but it's the exact same phenomenon as people trying to dunk on the menswear guy
Not true. I've been writing about menswear for 15+ years, so there's a clear record of what I believe. My posts include:
— Nearly 700 posts rounding up quality menswear on eBay
— Guides on how to thrift online
— Guides on how to build a wardrobe on a budget
— Guides to high-value brands

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

My operating assumption is that he tried to do a hasty coup in 2020 that failed, and so everything he does in his second term should be understood as laying the groundwork for a second coup to succeed.

Threat actors often stick with doing things that already work. State‑sponsored, mission‑driven threat actors with greater resources are more likely to meaningfully explore AI‑powered tooling, but even then, AI’s value currently lies mostly in accelerating tasks.

As a Canadian, what I've learned so far:
- Minnesotans are very nice and VERY organized
- Mainers are aggressively xenophobic but in a way that lCE will not like
- Philadelphians crave the blood of their enemies
- LA is ground zero for chaos tactics that never lose
- New Yorkers love gay hockey

Last year, a human trafficking victim trapped in a crypto scam compound in the Golden Triangle region of Laos contacted me. He then proceeded to leak to me a huge collection of the compound's internal materials.
Then he had to get out alive. This is his story.

Exactly right.
Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.
Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.
Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.
Every possible angle.
