Thank you to HCR for highlighting the term, 'the Epstein Class'.
It's spot on and useful shorthand to describe the assorted zillionaires, tyrants and crooks that ignore their differences to double down on behalf the one value they share - unfettered greed.

This should worry everyone.
“US officials contacted by Reuters were surprised by Trump's announcement and unaware of any ongoing military operations to enforce a closure of Venezuelan airspace.”
Trump’s failing faculties could walk the US into war.

Let’s be clear: these are extrajudicial killings. “Kill them all” Hegseth needs to be held accountable.
What’s more, Trump promised the American people no new wars but is now manufacturing this conflict & lying about his motives.
This warmongering has got to stop.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

The person who is currently running our country has lost his mind and it’s time we start talking about it.
Trump said he has instructed the Defense Department to “prepare for possible action” in Nigeria over the country’s alleged killing of Christians.

This has been such an Illuminating part of our current moment:
It’s revealed just how unwilling those with actual power are to even just ask tough questions, while highlighting how willing pajama-wearing suburbanites are to physically drive off guys armed with actual guns.

The assumption appears to be that ordinary voters will be cowed, obsequious, and unwilling to challenge autocracy, just like the billionaires, business leaders, media executives, and other leading institutions of civil society, which have decided that fighting back is “not worth the hassle.”
