Epstein wasn’t a financial consultant
He trafficked in young girls and used compromising information to extort money

Warren does at one point single out Epstein, but the full question is nuts: Warsh didn’t disclose $100 million hidden behind entities he owns, so are any of those assets owned by the Trump family or the Chinese government, have any of them facilitated money laundering, any set up by Jeffrey Epstein?
“I was very impressed with myself to have the head of Apple calling to kiss my ass.” ~ Trump
The president of the United States.
Not a day goes by that he doesn’t confirm what a depraved low life he is.
During the police interview, Ashby replied “no comment” to all questions except when he was shown a picture of the woman, when he asked: “Why isn’t she wearing a hijab?” Because she wasn't a Muslim? How many other women has he raped?

I would like a Secretary of Defense who has read one (1) book on the history of warfare; preferably one that discusses the impact of disease on armies.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth doesn’t think soldiers living and fighting together in close quarters or aboard warships need to take the flu vaccine. trib.al/Lseq9xd
Shabana Mahmood didn't shout at a 'white liberal' heckler - he was a person of colour and from a migrant background. And her family came from Mirpur! Has she forgotten her own history?
“I do think there is that element of it which is: ‘How dare you, a brown woman, say a thing that we white liberals think you’re not allowed to say?’
No Shabana Mahmood, it's more like "How dare you, a Labour MP, spout far-right white nationalist talking points and remove rights from refugees"
white ppl: we're fine with immigration actually and refugees are welcome.
shabana mahmood: FUCK OFF!
fucking bizarro land. she goes on to accuse those white ppl of being racist. she's barking mad.
The toxic people who don't think Shabana Mahmood doesn't belong in this country are white racists, not white liberals
But white liberals - like the mixed race, Asian or black liberals - have just as much right to disagree with Shabana Mahmood as they do with Theresa May or Nigel Farage or Zia Yusuf
NYT March 23 2026: Great story about the sordid nature of Jeffrey Epstein's relationship with billionaire Leon Black, founder of private equity firm, Apollo Global Management. Some comments below. Gift link:

Our ongoing refusal to name what's happening has helped enable it. It is far easier to convince voters these are concentration camps (they are) than to convince them we don't need "detention facilities."
Concentration camps. If objective is to close camps, voters must view them as vile & without any merit. Many voters believe "detention facilities" are necessary for law/safety. Plus they fit legal definition of concentration camps (which is NOT same as extermination camps.)
Of course they are concentration camps. And @anatosaurus.bsky.social is right that once you accept the euphemism you are halfway to normalizing the thing.
Crucial from @davidsirota.com: If Dems win House, they must use power of the purse to stop Trump. Dems can't fear the politics of defunding. Trump is weak and this is an opening to reassert "congressional authority in a real way."
On the pod David explains this well:

Trump: "I would've won Vietnam very quickly if I were president. Look at Venezuela. I took it over in 45 minutes."
#ICYMI: We released a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 Trump appointees, including former lobbyists, industry executives and at least a dozen officials who declined to identify former clients.

This is the third Cabinet member to leave their position. trib.al/xc0hTe0
The secretary was accused of having an affair with a member of her security detail, asking staffers to buy her alcohol at all hours of the day, and misusing government funds—including to throw herself a birthday party.
He killed over 160 young girls at a school and threatened to end their entire civilization out of respect and admiration
What a surprise!

Ain't that the truth. But I think the message has got through - no European expects Trump to support anyone other than Russia.
The US has gained a well-deserved reputation of never keeping its promises. Just ask Canada about CUSMA (the greatest deal according to Trump in 2020), with Trump now says is unfair to Americans, despite the fact that he negotiated it in the first place.
Lol, "where we go one, we go all" - which is hopefully down. 🙄
Even more important is who and where they are being paid from. We need to know who is funding them
Lol, you have to laugh. “Candidates were told to block followers who didn’t agree with the rhetoric.” 😂 So the candidates won't receive any pushback, fact checking, or information?
I wonder who is paying now the Hungarian spigot has ended.🤔
