Extremely unsettling how he’s interacting with Epstein specifically in the latter’s capacity as a known sex pest, overtly seeking mentorship in the use of psychological abuse tactics.
When former Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers was pursuing a romantic relationship with a woman he described as a mentee, he turned to a longtime associate for guidance: Jeffrey E. Epstein.
Dhruv T. Patel and Cam N. Srivastava report.

I’m not sure who down at HBO needs to hear this, but the number of people who finish watching John Oliver and want you to then autoplay Bill Maher is approximately zero.

The challenging thing with takes like these is that they’re mostly right. It’s like being bullish equities: generally pretty solid.
But there are also times when number go big down, just as in politics there are times where you twist the knife.

I see we’re doing accommodations discourse, so I’ll share how growing up in 80s and 90s when none of that was a thing was for me.
First off: I did great in school. By which I mean I got good grades, not that it was apsychologically healthy environment.

Look, I don’t ever want anyone in a position of leadership that says stuff like this when it’s not welded to the idea that part of that ‘living forward’ involves owning and fixing the disasters you created, or resigning in shame.

Extreme wealth inequality is inherently unjust, and it’s not debatable.
Activists spend their lives and careers trying to coax the world into a kinder shape and the extremely rich can invalidate all that by staffing an army of consultants based on a passing grudge.
This delta in agency is immoral.

There’s this corner of the Dems that is starting to realize (especially as they digest the latest election results, in the context of Trump’s win) that affordability is the whole game.
That this is a proper class war.
Somewhere deep in ashes of my cynicism, I feel a faint ember of hope rekindle.

Trump: Epstein and I had a very bad relationship for many years. You have got to find out what did he know with respect to Bill Clinton… all those people that knew including JP Morgan Chase..

Yeah I mean... they gave themselves huge tax cuts at the cost of global aid and healthcare for Americans both of which are literally killing people, and nobody stopped them. They pardoned a whole mess of criminal cronies and nobody stopped them.
They ain't gonna stop looting if we just ignore it.

This is completely false and it’s one of the reasons I’m wary of relying on supply-side narratives around housing.
HUD Secretary Scott Turner: "I want to get to the root: over 12 million illegal aliens came into our country, which has put a great strain on our housing supply and affordability."

Mods: “This isn’t really a ‘place,’ these are just bricks to build a place.”
Peeps: “But we need a place.”
Mods: “Yes, we have observed you living in our brick pile.”

Real dumb take from Vance, per usual, who again shows that he doesn’t understand the first damn thing about economics.
Preventing cross-border labor flow is not unlike a currency peg, and has decidedly anti-prosperity effects in a similar fashion.

You cannot deploy the level of funds allocated to ICE without systematically empowering criminality. It’s simply not possible to staff up that quickly with adequate vetting, training, and discipline.
This is state sponsored criminality that goes far beyond the inherent criminality of ICE’s actions.
