America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.
The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Annette Dionne, who shared in her siblings’ fame as one of the first quintuplets known to survive infancy, died on Wednesday at 91. She was the last surviving sister.
Annette Dionne, Last of the Celebrated Quintuplets, Dies at 91
She was the first to crawl, the first to cut a tooth, the first to recognize her name, and the last to die. And, like her sisters, she resented being exploited as part of a global sensation.

And for the record, Mr. Martini, the Italian immigrant who Mr. Potter disgustingly disparaged as a “garlic eater,” and who received a chance for a decent home from the Bailey Business& Loan, is essentially the stand-in for the forbears of ppl like ICE enforcer Greg Bovino (Italian-American).

Bill Clinton just called on Trump to release the full Epstein Files, including all documents mentioning both Trump and Clinton.
“Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the DOJ’s actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation.”

It's not unheard of that someone involved in story unfavorable to them tries to kill said story.
But for CBS to do it with a 60 Minutes story..at the last minute.
Because Bari Weiss needed Stephen Miller in it...and didn't like the word "migrant".

Why would anyone risk themselves to go on 60 Minutes after this? How can viewers ever trust CBS News to report fairly on topics this White House is sensitive about?

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

"The Attorney General shall ... make publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format."
NYT:
The DOJ "website also contains a search function, though it is unclear if it’s working properly. A query for 'Epstein' returned no results."

Rob Reiner was a mensch. In death, he showed us Trump’s a schmuck.
The president's remarks about the murder of the filmmaker and his wife cast Trump as petty and callous.
