Epstein wasn'y only trafficking teens, he was palling around with an incredible array of national and international figures and acting like ther unofficial consultant. How deep did this go? And was he working for one or more foreign powers?

Trump administration will require SNAP participants to reapply for benefits.
Food aid recipients are already required to recertify their information regularly. But the move is part of USDA chief Brooke Rollins’ effort to overhaul the program. LIARS.

What the emails have revealed that is really surprising, is how Epstein was acting like an off-books consultant to a huge array of national & international figures, pulling strings, suggesting strategies, telling them what to say...."the girls" were just a piece of it. Fingers in every pie.
While most people are looking for Trump kiddy porn, I am far more interested in Epstein meeting with Russian diplomat Sergey Lavrov before Helsinki where Trump praised Putin in one of the most humiliating press conferences with a foreign leader EVER! Putin smiled. Trump groveled. Epstein cashed in.

“Unauthorized immigrants, you say?”
Breaking from us:

As the Trump administration searches for more space to detain immigrants, it is approaching Washington tribes to see if they will participate.

Nisqually Indian Tribe is saying no.

Omg. After U.S. bishops just banned Catholic hospitals from providing gender-affirming care?

Parties usually ignore high existing inequality in their manifestos. Even when income disparities were large, neither left-leaning nor right-leaning parties made the issue a centerpiece of their platforms.

Why would we believe anything this administration says today?
I mean if they had told the truth like a COUPLE of times then we’d be like “well, maybe”

During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures

Beorn and his friends accompany the Elves to the edge of Mirkwood. Glorfindel and Legolas warn them that the Enemy is elsewhere growing in strength and the Beornings would do well to prepare for open conflict.

Glorfindel and Legolas's group encounter Beorn and three companions. They camp together and exchange news. Wolves have increased lately and grown more aggressive, the Beornings report. No one there now travels alone.

Aragorn's search parties divide.

West of the Greyflood, Elves on the swiftest horses fan out, to meet at Tharbad far south before returning.

Elves and Men will cover land east of Bruinen. Aragorn & other Rangers will survey the wide wedge of land between the rivers.

The Sulzberger name comes up in other places. In 2019, Epstein sent himself a list of names "for bannon steve"; one is "Suzlberger". Punch Sulzberger died in 2012, so this may his son Sulzberger Jr, who took over the NYT - and supervised the "but her emails" coverage that helped elect Trump. 4/
