Probably fewer women in economics because they’re just not as smart, right, Larry?
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

This week I have had to conceptualize Bill Clinton receiving oral sex to a degree that, as someone who lived through the mid-90s, I never expected to have to do again.

It’s like a corollary to Wilhoit that the Trump administration must affirmatively benefit from financial ethics rules which do not bind it, while the rest of us are bound but not protected by those rules.
Extremely woof. Kugler’s husband punting around CAVA and AAPL appears to be why she resigned. What a stupid man.

For two months, the U.S. government has been racial profiling as masked federal agents hunted for immigrants throughout Chicago. They’ve repeatedly snatched up U.S. citizens while traumatizing communities. “I felt like a piece of trash.” Here is our story www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Dershowitz: The predecessor on your show described Epstein as a convicted pedophile. He pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. That’s not a pedophile.
