“I’m a federal agent, so I should be held to a lower standard,” is an amazing position for someone to simply assume

“Breaking Nuzzi”?

“Decantoed”? Make it over a glass of wine?

That’s all I got

I see no reason not to take this at face value

Morally, it is unambiguous. Strategically, I would argue, it is unambiguous as well: Epstein seems like a very effective attack vector on our opponents and Dems cannot afford to have those who would undermine that attack because of fear of personal exposure.

Funny

Of course, it was also political malpractice to downplay 1/6 but our D leaders did that too

So we’ll see.

The two marquee winners from Tuesday night were different in many ways, but they had one thing in common: They fought.

And they both were willing to say discrimination is wrong with Mamdani going further to say, by me standing up for EVERYONE is how you know I'll stand up for you.

The crisis with the Democratic brand is twofold. Real failures that have largely been driven by a donor class sold into self-interest multiplied by purposely broken media/journalism/brains

What that looks like to normies is:
1. Dems don't fight
2. If the GOP were is bad as you say, Dems would fight

An aggressive, brave stance by elected Dems would implicitly roll that in. “We want all the files released, we don’t care who is exposed.”

I agree 100%. My concern is that there are Democrats who are dragging their feet on this strategy because they are afraid they would be implicated. I mean my feelings on this are simple: let them be exposed. But I worry that this is the reason Ds aren’t as on board.
