To understand how dramatically Trump has transformed federal law enforcement into his own personal political instrument of power, Emily Bazelon and @rachelposer.bsky.social interviewed 60 of the hundreds of Justice Department lawyers who have resigned or been fired. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

"Please don't take offense, but I need to ask..."
Kate Bolduan: "The president has not been accused of any crimes or wrongdoing as it relates to Jeffrey Epstein or these files even with these emails being released. That's one thing we need to make clear. There's no accusations of any wrongdoing so far."

claim that people don’t “wish” to do $120,000 / year jobs as automechanics seems detached from reality. www.bls.gov/ooh/installa... “median annual wage for automotive service technicians & mechanics was $49,670 in May 2024…lowest 10% earned less than $33,660, & highest 10% earned more than $80,850.”

That's a great outline for a farcical stage okay, or maybe a renegade Hallmark movie.
It's gotta be frustrating for journalists scraping by and doing great work to go to NY Times dot com and read a puff piece written by a nepo baby that whitewashes a journalist who had sex with a source and has now parlayed that into a new book and a job at Vanity Fair

I asked a DoorDash spokesperson today if the company had concluded from its report that inflation had been tamed. DoorDash spokesperson told me, "We did not write that."

Nuzzi, like TCW, exists as a kind of simulacrum of the midcentury public intellectual. Not even ripping off the writers of that era, but imitating a sort of half-remembered, half-invented idea of what those writers were sort of like and what their general vibe was.

It's all about investing those taxes in the right places making a much better place to live. Rich people want rich lives (just like everyone else...shhh).
And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

NIH scientist Dr. Jenna Norton was just placed on nondisciplinary leave.
She led a team who wrote a sign-on letter critical of The Regime.
A person at NIH asked to give a reason for her leave called her “radical leftist”; while the NIH Director has claimed that “dissent is productive”.

A lot of people have helped Trump cover up his involvement with Epstein. They need to think very carefully about their choices going forward. It's one thing to cheer on his ballroom or root for DOGE. Running interference for pedophiles is something the history books won’t forget.
EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: Newly released emails show Jeffrey Epstein told Ghislaine Maxwell that Donald Trump “spent hours at my house,” “knew about the girls,” and “that dog that hasn’t barked is trump.”
