I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Jared Kushner advised Saudi Crown Prince MBS on how to “weather the storm” after his hit squad slaughtered American journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

If Donald Trump wants to release the Epstein files, he could just release them, instead of green-lighting the House resolution.

And it's not as if he cares whether he has statutory authority to do a lot of what he's been doing.

But he needs a law for this?

the present scandal is not about Epstein, but rather about other men who may be named in the documents, the financial institutions that enabled Epstein, and most of all, Trump’s role in perpetuating the conspiracy of silence and non-accountability. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Why would Jeffrey Epstein kill himself in jail if he had this much leverage of the one person who could give him a full pardon?

This happened Friday, despite only getting attention on Monday night.

Think about all of the Epstein emails, and here you go. This is 100% in fitting with those dismissive, abusive exchanges.
