I find this particular bit to be one of the most exhausting recurring gags on the internet but it genuinely does seem like a lot of men were emailing sex criminal Jeffery Epstein in lieu of going to therapy
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.
All as mass internment camps are being built.

Yes, but it is also very much about patriarchy so let’s not gloss over that please.
The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.
