One horrific thing to me is that the president- a man who has gotten away with everything including literal murder up to this point- seems extremely nervous about anything regarding Epstein coming out. Like how bad does it have to be

History may record that America was a fervent supporter of the proto-Al Qaeda in the 1980s, then there was a brief falling out following 9/11, and then we went right back to being fervent supporters of Al Qaeda

It is kind of funny how the Dem argument against the left in 2016 and 2020 was that "we can't undo the Obama legacy like the ACA" and since then the Dems voted to undo the Iran deal (the vote was like 98 to 1 in the Senate) in 2017 and left the ACA get slowly destroyed.

Turns out Clammy Sam Altman actually did request help federal assistance for building data centers in a letter sent last week to the US government, specifically saying that the CHIPS act investment credit should apply to power, GPUs and data center construction.
