DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:
"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

As a U.S. Navy Veteran, I can't think of anything more inappropriate than naming ships after a weak, sniveling, dictator-wannabe, who's been impeached twice for crimes against the nation, and who led an insurrection to overturn a legitimate election.

Mystified by Dems worriedly telling everyone to be careful because the letter is probably fake. There's no proof it's fake. Just take the win! Act like Republicans for once and run with it. Assume it's real. Donald Trump is a pedophile. Make headlines. Do TikTok videos. Shove it down their throats.

This is what Bari Weiss et al think "censorship" actually is; when subordinates criticize their superiors. That has been the bedrock of the entire "cancel culture" discourse in elite media; rage at the idea that students, women, journalists, interns, etc might be able to speak against the boss.
The CBS reporter who led the story calls pulling it a "political" decision.
"The decision was made after Bari Weiss, the new editor in chief of CBS News, requested numerous changes to the segment."

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.
