Why won't Mike Lawler support the release of the Epstein files?
He wants to "move on" from the controversy because that benefits him. Call his office today.

Democratic reaction to an impeachment essay I wrote at 100 days ranged from “there’s no point, it did nothing last time” to “do it right now, what is wrong with you people?” Here are my answers to @editorialboard.bsky.social's hard questions about this dilemma. www.editorialboard.com/the-key-to-i...
The key to impeachment? Timing
In the meantime, the Democrats are stuck in a bind: between being unable to do anything and being accused of doing nothing.

Nefertiti, Kind of Blue, and Milestones are my favorites but Nefertiti is probably at the top
Bonus Track 1: "Nefertiti" (1967). Wayne's miracle of lyric melodic-harmonic expression sums up '60s post-bop. The performance startles: Horns keep repeating the melody; trio gets loose; Tony improvises a drum concerto. Hear it once & it lives in your brain forever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu0I...

Whenever people say “this is a distraction” with Trump just remember the ultimate distraction is not identifying he is a fascist tyrannical fuck that needs be removed from office.

So a respected journalist warned the nation that the Trump administration is a threat to free speech and, true to form, its state media outlet warns that there will now surely be retribution by the administration against that same journalist and his network for his act of free speech.
Fox News' Harris Faulkner reacts to Scott Pelley's commencement speech by saying the White House could soon strip CBS of "funding" for supposedly being antisemitic.
"The administration has an answer for this. And Scott Pelley, I don't know, maybe it won’t be 60 Minutes anymore."

Good piece on the muted reaction to Trump’s madness
Much of the Trump news coverage over the past 4+ months has been very good but there's still some aggressive sanewashing like here from the @nytimes.com ⤵️ My latest on the Times' misfire AND the outlets that got the West Point story right. open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

At many (most?) universities, international students pay full freight (often allowing the school to offer financial aid and scholarships to U.S. students). Terrorizing them will no doubt decrease int’l enrollment, hitting higher ed’s bottom line. Which is the point.
