Kash Patel's sworn testimony to Congress that there was "no evidence" that Epstein trafficked the girls to other men was perjury, pure and simple. Same for Bondi's testimony. Same for Blanche's testimony that all files have been released. They are all liars happy to perjure themselves for Trump.
NO! Not "raising doubts." Instead, these reports further confirm reports of sex trafficking by Epstein that have been known for decades. Girls as young as 13 submitted sworn statements that Epstein trafficked them to Trump.
The voices of women and young girls were simply ignored.
It's not just the older men in the Trump Administration, even Trump's Dep. Assistant Secretary of DHS in charge of Counter-Terrorism is into the 'sex for money' scam, only in her case she advertises for men to sponsor her lavish lifestyle in exchange for being her 'boyfriend.' Only for big spenders.
I mean I spent 29 years in markets and know that second-guessing them is frequently, even generally, expensive. But the last time I remember this level of refusal to acknowledge disaster would be 2007-08.
Infectious disease doctor Mike Reid forced out as chief science officer for PEPFAR after his Substack post blasting Trump administration's aid policies.

There is a reason Watergate was broken by Woodward & Bernstein on the metro desk AND NOT by the White House press corps.
Izzy Stone was mocking White House reporters as useless back in the 1950s
The body of a Lebanese journalist killed in an Israeli airstrike on southern Lebanon has been recovered hours after the attack. The daily Al-Akhbar newspaper confirmed that its reporter, Amal Khalil, was killed in the strike.
What’s the point
Where’s the application robotics people ?
The mega-enshitification of academic literature c/o AI and criminals/fools.
Israeli airstrike kills Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil
Rescue workers were fired on by Israeli forces so they were forced to halt attempts to reach Khalil, Lebanon's health ministry said
Khalil’s body was retrieved at least six hours after the strike

Carter Page was a legitimate target for surveillance.
If an American who has been on U.S. intelligence’s radar before is seen in Moscow telling people he has a special in with a major U.S. party presidential candidate and can sell access, that’s something U.S. counterintelligence should look into.
The Israeli flag has been raised by IDF soldiers inside the severely damaged stadium in the town of Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon.

Pertinent update
He’s so terribly concerned lol
Phelan’s firing comes after a rocky tenure under Hegseth and Feinberg, including tension over Phelan’s close relationship with President Trump, according to three people familiar with the internal discussions. Phelan regularly chats with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club, just down the street from his own Florida home, and told lawmakers last year that he texts with the president about shipbuilding in the middle of the night. The top Pentagon leaders were particularly annoyed last fall when Phelan pitched the idea for a modern battleship directly to Trump, bypassing Hegseth, the people said.
According to the WSJ, Hegseth abruptly fired the Navy Secretary in the middle of a crucial wartime naval blockade because he was jelly of his closeness with Trump. These are the dumbest, most embarrassing, childish nitwits alive - and they are in charge of the world's most monumental military might.
Some weird long rant filled with lies to justify rewriting the Constitution by rapist fiat?
“When I was a kid, a lot more people and animals got hurt, but not anymore—total disgrace!” wrote President Donald Trump
Also, even if that were true, that’s fucking monstrous? Are we not supposed to care when people who have other health problems die?
The more I think about this war, the more angry and exasperated I get, until I just sputter for minutes on end.
I will say, this war has really exposed a failure among both political and senior military leadership to identify where military power comes from.
'We destroyed their air force and navy' - who cares!?
That's not where Iran derives its military power from and hasn't been for a while!
Time to sue that hideous old gasbag for harassment
Effortlessly stylish dog

In the summer of 1888, John Singer Sargent and his family moved to Calcot Mill near the River Kinnett in the English country of Berkshire. This work bears all the hallmarks of swift painting, there's a freshness in the slightly skewed composition and the brio of the brushwork.

true story: some Brit wealth managers, clients of whom are rich Brits, told me they keep getting calls saying 'help! i just read in [a newspaper that's not the FT] that we're about to default on our gilts and go to the IMF! what should I do?'
and they say 'er, read another newspaper?'
