Another utterly-damning email, from an Epstein victim:
👉🏼 "i don't want to come early to find trump in your house."
She's probably joking (it's 2017, so he's already president).
But just think about this:
♦️One of Epstein's victims finds Trump more awful than Epstein himself.

Thank you, Sens Warnock & Ossoff.

Within minutes of him issuing this thuggish threat, a Novo Nordisk executive standing behind him collapsed.
And while everyone else rushed to the man's aid, Trump just stood there.
Because that's who he is.

Lori Lightfoot hasn't been Mayor of Chicago for two and a half years.
The only thing he remembers about her is that she "gets her hair done very expensively, right?...She's got beautiful, luxurious hair."
Here's Lightfoot, with a woman Trump knows somewhat better. Maybe he's got them mixed up?

So Chuck Schumer not only refused to endorse @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social-- he refuses to tell his own constituents who he voted for. To be mayor of his own city.
Schumer owes us ALL an explanation:
♦️If Establishment Dems won't support progressives, then please stop demanding our support for YOU.

If #AI is going to revolutionize the world economy, why is it that EVERY company's customer-service chatbot is 100% useless?
I suspect that no chatbot has ever, not even once, solved any problem for any customer, ever.
Which is, I suggest, precisely what the companies using them intend.

This is the GOP #healthcare plan:
♦️If you're a multi-millionaire (like Dilbert creator Scott Adams), and also a prominent MAGA supporter (like Dilbert creator Scott Adams), then reach out to Trump through one of his Cabinet Members. They'll take care of your medical bills.

Are we invading #Nigeria before we invade #Venezuela, or after?
It's easy to dismiss such (utterly insane) threats as just grandpa-mouthing-off. But this man is the Commander in Chief. He has the power to actually DO this.
Right now, in the Pentagon, staff are scrambling to prepare plans.

Two posts by @reuters.com-- for exactly the same #inflation story, but with VERY different messages:
Why? Maybe:
♦️First post: Let's report the news accurately, because we're #journalists.
♦️Second post: Wait, Trump is going to yell at us. Better spin this in a direction that won't prompt a tirade.

♦️These 3 posts report exactly the same news. A reasonable reader would draw 3 completely different conclusions from them.
♦️Headlines (which I used to write) & social media posts are the only part of a story most people see. Editors are failing.
