The rich and powerful don't like to be criticized. And so the NFL is trying to strong-arm the NFLPA into ending its annual team-by-team report cards.

I understand how paragraphs like this emerge from the editing process, but of course “little attention has been given” to a story no one knew about a minor victim whose identity was protected by a bunch of laws.

Research and development of CO₂ removal (CDR) should be a government-led effort, but all the people who were experts in various aspects of CDR in the US government are gone.

The SVU episode about Epstein and Ghislaine, made because the story was well-known enough that people would watch it and immediately know it was “ripped from the headlines”, aired on February 2, 2011
"Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein" is a phrase that first appeared in newspapers in March 2011 and appeared regularly from that point onward. it is INCONCEIVABLE to me that this many people were still associating with him!!

Harry Enten: "Nobody is buying what Trump is selling on Epstein. His net approval on it is an absolutely dreadful -39 pts... Far worse than any other major issue.
It isn't improving over time.
Even among the GOP, just 45% (!) approve of the job the Trump admin is doing on the Epstein case."

I love that we're taking things political genius Chuck Schumer says as reality
Democratic leaders hope history rhymes. Schumer thinks the Senate can flip, with an expanded map including Trump states like North Carolina, Ohio, Iowa, Texas, Florida, Alaska plus Susan Collins' Maine, etc. (Betting markets give them about 1 chance in 4 to net 4 seats).

This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.

The horrifying emails coming from the Estate (and not the DOJ) made me think about something else. Merrick Garland had access to all the Epstein Files and I'm sure he knows what's in them and he could've gone after Trump for that in addition to J6 but he didn't. Garland protected pedos.

Lower Treasury rates are generally better for the economy, but (1) this is a confession they have no "affordability" plan at all, and (2) they haven't made much progress on rates anyway, 10-year still >4%.
Republicans' real "affordability" plan is to blow up the data agencies then lie about it.
