According to this NYT report, the head of the FBI and the Attorney General are holding meetings *in the Situation Room* with GOP lawmakers they are trying to pressure to rescind their votes to release the Epstein info. This is madness.

Releasing the Epstein files could have a chilling effect on future presidents' ability to hide their history of raping children on a private island owned by a convicted sex offender.

The question I wonder is who is the new Epstein, because he is the product of the system not an aberration.

And there it is. They don’t want to release the dismal inflation or jobs numbers for October and are claiming that it’s the fault of Democrats.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Folks, the reporting is that Trump is making PERSONAL CALLS to Mace, MTG and others about the discharge petition. Would you be doing this if you had nothing to hide? Let's please all be serious here.

I'm obviously biased, but people are saying it's a song reference, and she's very well-loved, right? So if you reinstate her, we can tell everyone on Twitter, TikTok, Meta, YouTube, Twitch, etc. that y'all were cool admins, which helps Bluesky way more than keeping her suspended for the full 72 hrs.

Ok, frustrated sarcasm out of my system: there’s a deeper depressing point here.
NYC crime is hitting historic lows. By the NYPD’s metrics, it’s likely never been safer.
But our coverage of crime is so appalling that the richest safest ppl in the city are losing it over free buses.

If I’m understanding these ppl correctly, all it takes to deter lethal and sexual violence is an almost-never-enforced $2.00 cover charge?
That seems like a far more efficient solution to crime than Musk’s Personal Robot Stalker.

Drivers stop at crosswalks in Poland now because they passed presumed liability, and they ran a public awareness campaign to promote it. The driver is presumed to be at fault if they hit a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
The zebra stripes in Poland have magical power that the ones in America don’t. Even on a fast divided highway, a pedestrian in the shadows, well back from the curb, can stop traffic.
