I think the key things here are that it wasn't a secret, and that the tolerated norm of powerful men trading access to 18-24 year old women very easily slid into them trading access to children.
to me the truly disturbing thing about all the epstein shit is not so much who it comes out was part of it. it's that it is essentially something that shouldn't, conventional (among progressives too!) wisdom suggested, have been possible: an actual secret paedophile ring of the rich and powerful

reminder that Donald Trump said on the record that he partied with his buddy Jeffrey Epstein and women “on the younger side” and yet we’re pretending like the natural of their relationship is some big mystery

I know that at this point it's a subplot in the Epstein files drama, but I feel compelled to point out, once again, that Larry Summers HAS NO BUSINESS teaching students at ANY university ever again!

Why Is Larry Summers Still Employed?
The revelations about the economist’s attempts to pressure a women into a “relationship”—with guidance from Jeffrey Epstein—should finally disqualify him from teaching students.

Excited to share that I’ll be speaking at Memorial University on Friday!

If you’re in St. John’s, make sure to come out. I’ll be talking about how I became a tech critic and how I‘m seeing the current challenges with generative AI and digital sovereignty.

i’m laughing but honestly it’s sad how much the government is pushing this largely useless and materially harmful technology in the false hope it delivers productivity benefits.

mark carney wants companies to adopt generative AI, but only 2% are seeing a return on investment. this cannot last.

She’s so scared, even now. When you hear the disclaimer “none of the survivors have alleged Trump was involved”, think about this heartbreaking clip.
PSAKI: Do you think Donald Trump was aware of that arrangement at Mar-a-Lago?

EPSTEIN SURVIVOR SHARLENE ROCHARD: Umm. I don't know if he was aware. Um. Actually, I can't answer that.

when we talk about efforts to "erase DEI" can we be more precise and say "efforts to re-segregate workplaces and schools"

Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

I regret to inform America’s rich old man perverts that all that woke DEI stuff about how the happiest and most stable relationships are those between consenting adults with roughly equal amounts of power and life experience is, in fact, correct

I desperately hope that more people are thinking about survivors. Listening to survivors. Believing survivors. Because it is the right thing to do — full stop. But also because if we listened to and believed survivors, this country would be in a very different place right now.

Mary Bruce stared down a despot who ordered the murder of a journalist. Respect 👏
Calling the ABC reporter’s question “insubordinate” explains everything about how Trump sees press freedom.
Q: Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?

TRUMP: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you're a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him an insubordinate question

Trump defends the Saudi Crown Prince’s butchering of a US-based journalist because he’s infuriated he can’t do the same to anyone who moderately criticizes him, yet.

He is already throwing our neighbors in concentration camps, & he must be stopped before he does to them what was done to Khashoggi
“Whether you like [Khashoggi] or didn't like him — things happen, but he knew nothing about it and we can leave it at that.”

Watch Trump defend the Saudi Crown Prince over the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Nothing to see here
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
