The Justice Department said it found over a million more pages of Jeffrey Epstein documents, extending the time it will take for a full release. A law passed by Congress gave the department a deadline of last Friday to release the files. nyti.ms/49rG0QL
A Million More Epstein Documents Have Been Found, Justice Dept. Says
Democratic lawmakers, who had criticized the Justice Department’s release of the material, accused the Trump administration of violating the law mandating the release of the files.

@nytimes.com's Ezra Klein, probably: In June I made a prediction: "I suspect we are at or near peak daylight vibes for the year in the northern hemisphere." Now, as the year grinds to its end, I think it can be said more declaratively: the daylight vibe shift is dead.

Editors note: vibes = hours
By Ezra Klein Opinion Columnist In January, I made a prediction: "I suspect we are at or near the peak of Trump vibes." Now, as this long year grinds to its end, I think it can be said more declaratively: The Trump vibe shift is dead. And there are already glimmers of what will follow it. T2 year 1 approval rating plotted next to Obama, Biden, and T1. All show a near identical approval drop over the course of the year.

Confused by the ultraprocessed food discussion. From what I can tell the issue is less the "ultraprocessing" and more the ingredients and additives. If ultraprocessed foods are cheaper to make and widely distribute, why not just better regulate them to ensure they're healthier?

Bernie is full of it. Biden ceded policy to him. Much passed. Rather than give credit, he prefers to criticize Dems with incoherent bad faith popularist dog whistles:

End racism-offer citizen path for/dignify undocumented-close Bidens open borders-tolerate racism

RFK: it's sad I killed some kids here in Texas, but who needs a vaccine when healers are having great success treating measles, a virus, with antibiotics.

@nytimes.com: RFK, the stoic health secretary, hits his stride (while exploiting Navajo Nation)
RFK tweet: In Seminole, Texas, with Jake and Tina Fehr whose 2-year-old daughter, Helena was just discharged after three weeks in the ICU, Peter and Eva Fehr whose daughter, Kayley, 6, passed in February, and Pete and Eva Hildebrand whose daughter, Daisy, 8, we buried this afternoon. I also visited with these two extraordinary healers, Dr. Richard Bartlett and Dr. Ben Edwards who have treated and healed some 300 measles-stricken Mennonite children using aerosolized budesonide and clarithromycin. NYT headline: As His Chronic Disease Tour Wraps, Kennedy Hits His Stride The health secretary seemed stoic - maybe nervous, even - at the start of his first major trip. But on a hike with Navajo Nation leaders, he was finally in his element.

Turns out the "wonky" trick Republicans might use to get around budget reconcilation is...wait for it...lying.
NYTimes The Upshot: The Budget Trick the G.O.P. Might Use to Make a $4 Trillion Tax Cut Look Free: A maneuver so wonky that it might be best explained with sports cars and anime streaming Republicans in Congress trying to advance a giant bill that includes $4 trillion in tax cut extensions are considering a novel strategy that would make the extension appear to be free. The trick: budgeting with the assumption that current policies extend indefinitely into the future - even those with an expiration date, like the 2017 tax cuts set to end next year. It's the difference between making the extension appear to cost $4 trillion or zero.

Patricia Bauman died a year ago.

ActBlue is a payment processor. Almost anyone who’s given to a D candidate in the last 20 years could be mischaracterized as a “ActBlue funder.”

Listing five Jews, two of whom are long dead, as “ActBlue funders” secretly behind the Tesla protests is antisemitism.

Musk is blaming "Herbert Sandler," among others, for secretly financing the protests and Tesla dealerships over the last few weeks.

Sandler died in 2019.
An investigation has found 5 ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla “protests”: Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project and Democratic Socialists of America. ActBlue funders include George Soros, Reid Hoffman, Herbert Sandler, Patricia Bauman, and Leah Hunt-Hendrix. ActBlue is currently under investigation for allowing foreign and illegal donations in criminal violation of campaign finance regulations. This week, 7 ActBlue senior officials resigned, including the associate general counsel. If you know anything about this, please post in replies. Thanks, Elon.

Email from Columbia President Armstrong makes clear that admin still has no idea what it’s dealing with. No amount of “serious action to combat antisemitism” (read: punish Palestine activists) will satisfy the Nazis. They see universities as an enemy institution to crush underfoot.
Columbia’s mission is to teach, create, and advance knowledge. For over 270 years, that mission has been grounded in an enduring and essential commitment to freedom of expression, open inquiry, and generous, respectful debate. Today, we were notified of federal action from Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Department of Education (ED), and the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) cancelling $400 million in federal funding to the University. The federal agencies cite “the school’s continued inaction in the face of persistent harassment of Jewish students.” There is no question that the cancellation of these funds will immediately impact research and other critical functions of the University, impacting students, faculty, staff, research, and patient care. But let me be very clear: Columbia is taking the government’s action very seriously. I want to assure the entire Columbia community that we are committed to working with the federal government to address their legitimate concerns. To that end, Columbia can, and will, continue to take serious action toward combatting antisemitism on our campus.

Really glad T brought back presidential transparency and accountability through precious press opportunities
And despite his press secretary pledging that Mr. Biden would “bring transparency and truth back to the government,” in his first two years, the president granted the fewest interviews since Mr. Reagan’s presidency: only 54. (Donald J. Trump gave 202 during the first two years of his presidency; Barack Obama gave 275.) More than any president in recent memory, Mr. Biden, 80, has taken steps to reduce opportunities for journalists to question him in forums where he can offer unscripted answers and they can follow up. The result, critics say, is a president who has fewer moments of public accountability for his comments, decisions and actions. Biden Has Held the Fewest News Conferences Since Reagan. Any Questions?
