BREAKING: Bard College President Leon Botstein’s name appears in the Epstein files more than 2,500 times, including arranging travel to Epstein’s island and hosting a visit with “girls” on campus…
As a Bard student parent, I demand Leon Botstein’s immediate removal.

indeed (a) it wasn't just his children, it was them + 4 more and (b) to bring children to this island given what was already known is truly sick. Those seeking to justify it are sick too.
I disagree with everyone stating that it was innocent to mention the ages of these kids. Epstein was convicted of trafficking children for prostitution in 2008. What kind of a freak brings 8 children to the island after that? And then mentioning their ages? Would any of you do this?

If you can, take a few minutes to watch us run through the parade of lies from DHS.
“The official story—promulgated by Kristi Noem, and Stephen Miller and JD Vance—was a lie. They are lying to you. They're lying to us. They know it. And in fact, they seem proud of it,” says Chris Hayes on JD Vance saying he won’t apologize for labeling Alex Pretti an “assassin.”

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

The story of Peter Attia — a longevity doctor who graduated from medical school but never completed residency — is a good illustration of the flimsiness of what these alternative health influencers are selling. His name appears in more than 1,700 documents in the most recent … Epstein files.

“The reason Trump didn’t apologize for the Obama post is because he is a small, petty, fragile man who cannot take responsibility for his own actions. And the second reason, frankly, is because he is a racist.”

Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.
Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.
