Trump clearly views any call for transparency regarding Epstein as a personal attack on Trump.
Brett Meiselas on MTG: The craziest thing is it's not like she even said anything bad about Trump. Nor did she even suggest he was involved with Jeffrey Epstein. All she said was that the people deserve the Epstein files — and he lost his mind. That’s the definition of “a hit dog will holler.”

I wonder if there's any connection between this story, (above) and the Trump admin's threats to attack Mexico if they don't "straighten out the border." (Or at least that's their excuse.)

TLDR: The recent demonstrations in Mexico were astro-turfed by a Trump aligned oligarch who doesn't like taxes and anticorruption efforts, and wants to unseat the Mexican president who is tackling their corruption.

Eerily reminiscent of what Elon and other antitax billionaires are doing here.

“There are calls with Miller, where everyone is being screamed at,” the official told The Beast. “The targets he is setting for them are ridiculous, and it is a case of them just spending any money they can to increase the number of officers and deportations.”

“We owe it to our young people not to lie to them anymore. A democracy whose citizens operate with fundamentally different understandings of the past and its implications cannot sustain itself.”
I spent October traveling to schools throughout the South talking to students about American history. What I found were young people who understand we can tell a story that includes both the positive and the negative. As one 8th grader in Memphis said, “Doesn’t seem that hard, just say both things.”

Jon Minadeo is a neo-Nazi on a mission—a mission to meet America’s children in online video chats and convince them to hate.

When he encounters children of color, he tries to persuade them to hate themselves, often brandishing an assault weapon and warning them to expect to be treated violently.
