Exactly this. I don't give a damn who's in Epstein's orbit. I want them named, and if enough evidence exists, I want them brought to trial. Why is this so hard?

I know that at this point it's a subplot in the Epstein files drama, but I feel compelled to point out, once again, that Larry Summers HAS NO BUSINESS teaching students at ANY university ever again!

Why Is Larry Summers Still Employed?
The revelations about the economist’s attempts to pressure a women into a “relationship”—with guidance from Jeffrey Epstein—should finally disqualify him from teaching students.

Trump is a liar and a murderer. He's not brave enough to kill a man face to face, but he'll order our military to do so.
These are two things he has in common with MBS.
These are two things he has in common with MBS.
During my time on the NSC, there were 2 calls Trump held with foreign leaders that particularly disturbed me.
One of course was with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine.
This second call with MBS was the second one that really bothered me.
The American people should know what was said on that call.

Wowzers. 😳
So many senior appointees in the Trump admin got positions they were utterly unqualified and unprepared for because of their social media presence or Fox appearances. MAGA cheers it on. Then it constantly comes back to bite them when they screw things up - like the Texas gerrymander.

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.

Trump doesn't notice, doesn't care, that Old Glory lay on the ground in violation of the USC. It's nothing but a prop to him, something he uses to incite anger.

There has never been a clearer example of the fact that we do not have a legislature in the United States right now. Trump tells them to vote no, so they all vote no. Then Trump changes his mind and they all change their votes. That is autocracy. Vote them out!
