"When an off-camera female reporter... began to ask if there was anything 'incriminating' in the Epstein emails, Trump pointed a finger in her face. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy,' he said menacingly."

Yellowstone national park is witnessing a striking ecological recovery, driven by the return of one of the US’s most iconic species, the bison.
There’s good news out there if you look for it. 🦬

This piece is important. It is also a great (annoyingly great) example of what a properly resourced team of journalists can do. There are five bylines and almost 20 additional reporting credits on this piece. I've wanted to write this story for months but... do not have that many colleagues
The cost of Trump's immigration surge: Stalled investigations into child sexual abuse, Iranian oil smuggling and human trafficking, among others. My latest piece is a big team effort on how DHS has been transformed into the Department of Deportation.

Obscure but…Summers terse emails are in the mold of James Ellroy (esp tabloid style journalism)
“Was there. Spoke well. Spent time w Softbank deputy Najeev or some such PIF guy too.
Flying back.
[here comes Ellroy]. How is life among the lucrative and louche?”

Summers was giving Epstein advice to pass on to Republican Tom Barrack—the old Trump friend & real estate partner/crook who is now our ambassador to Turkiye—during the Manafort trial. He is as trustworthy as a sieve

My most woke opinion is that rurality inherently lends itself to bigotry because people are isolated and rarely have to be wound people like themselves - and the rural life is uniquely romanticized by white people

I believe I could spend twenty-seven minutes cross-examining Larry Summers about his sour grapes comment to Jeffrey Epstein about the grad student who spurned his advances: “. . . to get her to be good probably requires more firmness than I enjoy”.
What’s “good”?

The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

7/🧵 The loudest voices aren't the most representative. Every generation has extremists, but social media amplifies fringe movements beyond their size. A handful of young white nationalists create viral moments that crowd out broader trends. We mistake the exception for the rule.

"Inevitably, this puts them in a bind: To justify the sale, they have to talk down the importance of the works they’re off-loading. To get top dollar, they (or their agents) must talk up the works’ importance to potential buyers"
