Not the main point, but can we just say that this is a very odd email exchange for a reporter (Michael Wolff) to conduct with a source (Jeffrey Epstein)?
Esp a source who, 7 years pvs, had pled guilty to solicitation of prostitution w/ a minor, and who'd been sued by a victim just 3 months earlier.

So Trump has posted about 20 photos of the refurbished Lincoln Bathroom, which should satisfy the needs of the unemployed and hungry. In addition to looking pretty crummy, I have some questions about this toilet, which will have a great view of the new ballroom and vice versa.

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America
