My serious take is that Nuzzi committed a huge ethical breach of standards and should be ashamed, not profiting off a book deal and getting a warm and fuzzy profile in the Times.

There are too many good, hard-working ethical reporters out there for this stuff to be rewarded.
Welcome to journalism in 2025, when ethics are not longer required and the whole thing feels like a high school lunchroom, complete with the elitist “You can’t sit with us!” nepo babies at legacy outlets who all write stories about how great their pals are.

God, it’s so depressing.

Look at the screenshot Trump is posting.

“If Jeffrey Epstein had any dirt on Donald Trump, he would have had great leverage in the criminal case against him at the time he died.”

That’s, um… precisely why people think Epstein didn’t kill himself? Like, that’s the whole idea very nicely summarized?

The fact that they now want to release the Epstein files can only mean, I assume, that they’ve purged them. Of some things.

Trump and Pete Hegseth just killed three more people in another bombing, this time in the Pacific. The dead were said to be part of a "designated terrorist organization," which is itself utterly absurd. No evidence provided.
Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!

It gets even darker than that. 1/

Trump living it up, bedazzling everything, lining his pockets, freeing his criminal allies while out on the streets his goons terrorize entire communities feels like something from dystopian fiction.

The news when Joe Biden goes to extraordinary lengths to NOT blend family and governance: “What is he hiding, a 90-part investigation.”

The news when Donald Trump engages in open corruption: …
Rrrrgh, there's a word for when a family blends its business interests with governance in a democracy, it's on the tip of my tongue but I just can't think of it!! I hate it when this happens.

Per @jenniferjjacobs.bsky.social, DOD presented Trump with plans for strikes in Venezuela yesterday, including on the ground. Astonishing to see the U.S. on the brink of another regime-change invasion with essentially none of the pre-2003 effort to rationalize it domestically and internationally.

Someone named Daniel Siad tells Epstein in an email that the owner of Noah Models used to "scout for Trump."

Noah Models was featured in this 2011 PBS documentary, about 12, 13 year old girls being scouted in Siberia for international modeling, and the predatory results.

Like glimpses into alternate universes, here are three intros to THREE'S COMPANY - intros to the unaired first & second pilots from 1976, & the season 1 intro from 1977.

If Democrats release files showing that Trump was complicit in Epstein's pedophilia, and Trump tries to distract from it by starting a war with Nigeria or Venezuela, then Democrats will have blood on their hands.

So many of her colleagues very stridently defended Maggie's work during the first Trump term and told us how she was this top-notch journalist, and here she is falling for a book that was a Steve Bannon ratfucking scheme.
About the same time the NYT sat on a scoop tying Trump to Epstein, Maggie Haberman was downright giddy (y'all) about NYT promoting an anti-Hillary Clinton book.

So am I understanding thus right? Michael Wolff does a series of interviews w Epstein over the years & gets clued into the fact that Trump knew about all of it & Wolff seems to take that knowledge &...parlay it into getting a bunch of exclusive access to Trump during his first campaign & admin?

What James Comer's Oversight Committee had to say about Joe Biden's use of an autopen vs. what it had to say about a tranche of 20,000 emails including ones that directly tie Trump to Epstein's activities.

Kind of feel like Trump's current Caribbean murder spree should dispel any notion of what he would and wouldn't do, vis a vis the man who could have destroyed him.

Our leading news organizations turned a cache of ultimately-innocuous emails into a scandal-coded weeklong series of front page stories leading into the 2016 election. If they do not cover the "emails from notorious pedophile implication the President" emails with the same fervor, it's curious!

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.
