The Post is standing by Trump on the Epstein files, even after he called for their release, and even after Congress voted 427 to 1 to do so
Gotta be worth at least another contract or two for Bezos’ space company, right?

Kudos to DC Attorney General Brian Schwalb for persevering in this case, even as the city’s mayor and its newspaper of record have been busy bowing to Trump

The words “data centers” do not appear in this editorial, indicating someone else misunderstands energy prices. (I'm sure it's a coincidence the Post’s owner is the founder of Amazon, which builds the most data centers)

The Post is carrying water for Trump, even as Americans oppose tearing down the East Wing by more than 2 to 1... including apparently Melania, who wants nothing to do with the project. Heck, even "Trump himself grimaced at the initial photos."
Yet the Post is still there for him.

The lack of self-awareness is extraordinary. On CNN just now was nothing but my fellow American Jews… who were not, as best as I can tell, the victims of the Israel/US 2-year genocide against Gaza
