BASH: Is this measles outbreak a consequence of the administration undermining support for vaccines?

DR OZ: I don't believe so. Secretary Kennedy has been advocating for measles vaccines

It’s very telling that Ghislaine Maxwell was happy to sit down with Trump’s former criminal defense attorney Todd Blanche for 2 days & answer his pathetic questions in exchange for special treatment, but she will refuse to answer all questions from anyone else including Congress.

Howard Lutnick used to be a fixture on the Sunday shows. He did more TV appearances in 2025 than anyone in the Trump admin other than Stephen Miller. But since the last Epstein drop, Lutnick has been hiding from the press.

“I can’t answer that.” I was reminded of this moment in the last few days with all the discussion of Epstein. Has any reporter looked into whether Trump has non-disclosure agreements with Epstein victims?
PSAKI: Do you think Donald Trump was aware of that arrangement at Mar-a-Lago?

EPSTEIN SURVIVOR SHARLENE ROCHARD: Umm. I don't know if he was aware. Um. Actually, I can't answer that.

There should be no American history book that makes it pass the censors either.
I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.

Great work everyone.

The "young intern" at the White House who has been retweeting juvenile, racist, and otherwise embarrassing material from Donald Trump's account for at least 11 years was born on June 14, 1946 at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, New York, NY. He sometimes goes by the name John Barron.

They looked for “Don T” in the Epstein files and redacted all instances, which means they also redacted a lot of “don’t”

"Epstein class" is terrific not simply because several of them are directly tied to Epstein's crimes, but because it strikes at the corruption, immorality and impunity of that entire circle.
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

From his now-deleted and grotesque post targeting the Obamas, to his doctored image that altered the expression and skin tone of a Black civil rights lawyer, his use of AI is simply the newest form of an old pattern: open racism from Donald Trump.

Blumenthal: ICE and CBP are out of control. The practices of this agency have to be completely overhauled. It’s like a corporation in bankruptcy—either dissolved or reorganized. They’re morally bankrupt, legally bankrupt, and politically bankrupt.

This is an immensely significant document that continues to get virtually no attention in US media—but lots abroad. In Jul 2015, Epstein arranged a meeting between a known highest-level Russian intel operative, Sergey Belyakov and Peter Thiel,

I’m old enough to remember the crypto industry pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into the 2024 campaign to defeat Biden, and I think a lesson — which will not be learned — is that burning down the stable world that gave you riches beyond your wildest dreams is not good for business.
