Alan “I Kept My Underwear On” Dershowitz claims Jeffrey Epstein was NOT a pedophile.
Dershowitz: The predecessor on your show described Epstein as a convicted pedophile. He pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. That’s not a pedophile.

The files that are already in possession of Congress could be leaked pretty easily.

There are also a LOT of FBI agents who have seen the files - they didn’t properly compartmentalize them at the beginning when they were looking for Trump’s name. They could leak it too.

For any other president this would be heralded as the disastrous policy failure of a floundering and indecisive chief executive
So let me get this right, Trump’s plan was:

1. Tariff everything to help the economy (it didn’t)

2. Claim consumers aren’t paying tariffs (we are)

3. Panic & roll back food tariffs b/c you created an affordability crisis (we told you)

Arsonist claiming to be a firefighter.

The only thing that's interesting about Nuzzi is the story of how an amoral careerist with no interest in policy and abysmal ethics became an acclaimed national political reporter. But rather than tell that story, the entire media seems desperate to play a part in it.
It rocks that all 20 people who genuinely think the Olivia Nuzzi stuff is interesting have editorial discretion at major media outlets. Just publish your group chats

They aren’t doing it this time because the numbers are fucking terrible.

Trump dropped the tariffs on coffee, beef, and tropical fruit to LOWER PRICES.

I thought other countries paid for those?

The DOT also reportedly plans to rescind requirements that airlines disclose junk fees. It's also planning to redefine what flight cancellations would require refunds for passengers.

Both Delta and United gave $1 million to the Trump inauguration fund.

Everything is for sale.

Rich getting richer, poor getting poorer
