NPR reported this morning that, based on their review of the #Epstein emails released yesterday, Trump’s name appeared more than 1,000 times in the document—

"I have met some very bad people, none as bad as #Trump. Not one decent cell in his body." - Jeffrey Epstein

Maybe it is time that everyone look a bit closer at Elon "randomly" tweeting that Trump was in the Epstein files, especially considering that Elon Musk himself is and also a day earlier this has been reported out about his good friend.

This hidden provision is so crooked and selfish, it doesn't even apply to US Representatives. Just US Senators.

Bernie’s democratic socialism is still compatible with liberal democracy. Trump’s national socialism is not. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that.

But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you don’t win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal.

You can’t negotiate with people like that.

Let's just lay it out. Epstein was a glorified pimp who used and sold the services of children to the wealthy, the elite, and the powerful. His clients will destroy anything and everything to stay hidden. They will even starve poor people. They have no bottom and no conscience.

Using his powers to extract tribute from foreign countries, "donors," etc. and then using those extraconstitutional slush funds to bypass the Constitution and the rule of law. Literally the opposite of originalism and a profound threat to the continuation of constitutional democracy in this country.
$550 billion in Japanese funding.
Directed by the President.
Outside Congress’s control.

My new @justsecurity.org piece explains how the agreement bypasses the Appropriations Clause and violates the laws that safeguard Congress’s power of the purse.

Syphillis used to be so common and so destructive it would just destroy soft tissue on the face (and hands/feet), so people could AND DID form No Nose clubs so that they had a group of friends they could hang out with and just exist before it sent them into dementia and a horrible death.
have you ever felt like public health is an overreach? do me a favor and look up tertiary syphilis or, alternately, the concept of "shitting yourself to death", which used to be something that happened with medium regularity
