Jeffrey Epstein Was a ‘Terrific Guy,’ Donald Trump Once Said. Now He’s ‘Not a Fan.’ (Published 2019)
www.nytimes.com
So, a little digging reveals:
It was not actually Michael Wolff, but Annie Karni & Maggie Haberman who reported in a 2019 NYT piece that Epstein HIMSELF claimed to have made the Melanie/Donny intro.

Perhaps @anniekarni.bsky.social can clear up the matter.

It's also opened up for grifters like Scott Galloway.

A lane has opened up for a new kind of male influencer and I wonder if they're going to take to social media. I'm not sure those men even want to be influencers. They're perfectly happy talking about art within their own social circle away from a camera.

I'm not surprised to see men being dragged for "virtue reading." Reading is the only form of entertainment that is still free. Of course businesses would shame you for it. Put down that library card and pay for a streaming service, sir!

Men embracing reading is the absolute worst thing to happen to manosphere influencers and hate groups. They don't know how to pivot to take advantage of that. It's not like Andrew Tate is going to be able to lead a YouTube discussion on Watchmen.

Here's how Jim Comey mocks Pam Bondi's attempt to retroactively make Lindsey Halligan a magical pony on Halloween.

![On October 31, 2025—36 days after Ms. Halligan purported to secure the indictment, 31
days after the statute of limitations had expired, and 11 days after Mr. Comey had filed his motion
to dismiss—the Attorney General purported to “appoint Ms. Halligan to the additional position of
Special Attorney, as of September 22, 2025, and thereby ratify her employment as an attorney of
the Department of Justice from that date going forward.” ECF No. 137-1. But that action cannot
retroactively transform Ms. Halligan into an authorized government attorney on the day she
purported to secure the indictment. In Lucia, for instance, the Supreme Court found an
Appointments Clause violation and set aside an adjudication because the relevant official “heard
and decided [the petitioner’s] case without the kind of appointment the [Appointments] Clause
requires.” 585 U.S. at 251. It did not matter that the official’s “prior appointment[]” had been
“ratif[ied]” by a Head of Department after the adjudication had been completed and “[w]hile th[e]
case was on judicial review.” Id. at 252 n.6. If such a post hoc ratification of a prior invalid
appointment sufficed, then the government could moot every Appointments Clause challenge.
The government cites no authority suggesting that an invalid appointment can be excused
so long as the government allegedly “intended” to vest the relevant official “with the powers” of](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreif47wlavvtkcmm3xbwy76l2owgnsxuxqkm4uc6vmjlkupk2l66uwy@jpeg)

I was at an event yesterday where Rand Paul spoke via video and talked about how great it was to send ACA money "directly to the people" so that they could work collectively to get better deals on health care.
