Zampolli founded ID Model Mgmt and ran in the same social circles as Epstein, even running a charity with Ghislaine Maxwell. He says he introduced Melania to Donald at the Kit Kat Club in NY. He facilitated her move to the U.S. from Slovenia after finding her during a scouting trip to Europe.

Senate Democrats just emerged stone faced en masse from a very long lunch meeting and refused to tell reporters where they were on the CR. At least a dozen members just stared straight ahead and marched out past us, inc many normally press friendly ones.

NEW: Canada’s new PM, Mark Carney, has just delivered what sounded like a wartime speech, savaging Trump & the US.
"These are dark days brought on by a country we can no longer trust. We are getting over the shock, but let us never forget the lessons. We have to look after ourselves."💥

Two things struck me in the 20 year change in whether other countries trade more with China or USA:
1. China took over the world market fast; and
2. Trump has to be one of the STUPIDEST people ever to go after 3 of the few remaining countries that trade more with US: Mexico, Canada, & Greenland.

Europeans are definitely going to stop coming here. The guns were bad enough. They're not putting up with this.
A second German tourist is being held in a detention centre after having her Visa revoked by the U.S.
It’s the same detention centre holding Jessica Brösche, the German tattoo artist who spent 8 days in solitary. She’s been held for 6 weeks.
The U.S. is not a safe place to travel anymore

JD Vance claimed on X that “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed him & shouted at his daughter.
Guess he didn’t realize it was caught on camera. No one yelled at his kid, and they didn’t follow them.
Vance & Musk need to quit using children as shields. The public isn’t backing down—we want answers.

hey, can one of the reasonable centrist writers condescendingly explain to me again that it is overblown to call these people segregationists?
Interesting. New contracting memorandum from Secy of Defense says military contracts shld stop including language that bars contractors from running segregated facilities.
