The fact that every reporter, especially every woman reporter, doesn’t just walk out when he says stuff like this is so telling.
Trump to Kaitlan Collins after she pressed him on getting justice for Epstein survivors:
"No wonder CNN has no ratings because of people like you. You know, she‘s a young woman. I don‘t think I‘ve ever seen you smile. I‘ve known you for 10 years. I don‘t think I‘ve ever seen a smile in your face."

Holy shit. Guys, is quitting is an option.
I have confirmed the gist of this report out of federal court in Minnesota today from a source familiar.
If you have more information about the District of Minnesota—either the court or the U.S. Attorney's Office—and how they are handling all of this, please reach out. I am at crg.32 on Signal.

I thought this was known? Or at least understood to be a major factor.
In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

she literally did commission several articles that ran in The Daily Beast at this time. Maybe do some research before you make sweeping and false allegations (also, last time I checked, Tina Brown was not a senior member of the FBI)

For non-academics, it is STANDARD to have a “limitations to are research” note-you have to have this!
A student & I got a 4 page review on a manuscript we submitted to a peer reviewed journal. It’s hard not to suspect AI. But however this was generated, this line was so troubling: "There is mention of limitations to the research, which also undermines transparency and credibility of the manuscript."

Very funny if the NFL imposes more penalties as compared to Congress 🙃

N.F.L. Said It Will Look Into Steve Tisch’s Ties to Epstein
Recently released emails reveal that Jeffrey Epstein sought to connect Mr. Tisch, whose family is a part-owner of N.Y. Giants, with multiple women.

He has a lot of faults, but, props to Finkelstein here.
Harvard professor Robert Trivers tried to get Jeffrey Epstein in touch with Norman Finkelstein. Instead of accepting, Norman sent a reply calling Alan Dershowitz a pedophile rapist and saying Trivers should be ashamed for defending them, and both should be strangled instead

It’s hard to focus on one thing to be appalled about, but these stories out of Minnesota are awful. (And, of course, on the other hand, very encouraging.) I cannot believe you can wrongly grab somebody, transport them, and then leave them where YOU took them.

I like it when I can do something to help people displaced by ICE and then after I do that thing I get to eat a pizza.

How many times in your life have you heard a member of Congress or someone on TV say “we can’t afford it” when talking about something small but very important? It’s been happening my entire life. We can’t afford it? They’re putting seven times the annual budget of the EPA into immigrant detention.

ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.
