NYT columnist David Brooks wrote an op-ed a few weeks ago titled, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out,” lamenting people are too focused on the Epstein scandal + saying "the QAnon mentality has taken over."
Today he appeared in 4 photos from the Epstein dump. Welp! www.huffpost.com/entry/david-...

David Brooks Said ‘Count Me Out’ Of Epstein Story, Then Wound Up In Epstein Photos
There's no indication The New York Times columnist did anything wrong. But wow, the timing of his column and the photo dump is unfortunate!

Our goals can be to shield some victims, to make things more difficult for the perpetrators, or expose their workings - but when and how this all stops is out of our hands.

punting on 2nd and 3 at the opponent’s 20 is something we will never ever see in football, because if a coach was trying to throw a game there are many more subtle ways of doing so. this is probably the closest thing to that we’re likely to see

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

If there is anything I don't think any trans person should be worried about right now it's being Too Much.
We live in a world that is actively turned against us in so many ways. Being yourself, as loud as you can, what's more appropriate for Pride than that?

Appreciate the quote tweet, though, I should add that while I first heard about the point of order from Mark Takano, which was how I dug into the process, @madycast.com and @jael.bsky.social flagged how the process would work and I made sure I gave them credit.
Mark Takano, the chairman of the Congressional Equality Caucus, pointed out the main way that the Big Beautiful Bill's trans Medicaid ban can die:
-It likely won't survive the Byrd rule from the parliamentarian
-Democrats would need to raise a point of order

The House Republican reconciliation bill will now ban both surgeries and HRT prescription under Medicaid for all Americans.
Earlier, I posted that it wouldn’t affect HRT. This is incorrect.
I was mistaken, because the bill refers to medications for trans people… as “procedures.”
