Thereby proving the point that the Epstein Survivors are trying to make...
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

For @msmagazine.com, I wrote about the WNBA and the issue of pay equity. By the time the WNBA was only two seasons in (1999-2000) the average NBA salary was 58 times higher than the average WNBA salary. Twenty-six years later, the gap has jumped to 116 times higher.

Not good. Perhaps there should be rules for leaving space junk.
The only craft docked at Tiangong space station has been damaged and “does not meet the release conditions for a safe manned return.”

Leger Fernandez: They’re going to get a million dollars because you were related to or somehow connected with conspirators? And that’s what people should be outraged about — they are treating themselves to the trough of corruption that Trump is laying out.

So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.

My law firm is currently litigating 65 voting and election cases. 12 of these relate to redistricting. We have four cases pending in the U.S Supreme Court -- including one I am arguing this Dec.

A 68 year old friend of mine passed away unexpectedly last week. He may have been one of the youngest Vietnam combat veterans. His mom signed to let him join the Marines. He left for basic on his 16th birthday. He deployed to Da Nang. He was a fierce, friendly, hard worker. #VietnamVets #SemperFi
