The Trump White House is responding to the WSJ Epstein story just as they responded to Jeffrey Goldberg’s piece on the Hegseth Signal snafu — straight up denying the evidence exists and guaranteeing it will come to light.

Dear God.

Same!

Perfectly capturing the evolution of the Republican Party over its first century in two covers.

Also because they basically just reshot the Raid script and added the cool slo-mo drug scenes.

We're good here.

Inside you there are two wolves.

One of them is a 29-year-old screenwriter

I just heard a guest say on MSNBC that Trump likely doesn't have a case in his Wall Street Journal libel case unless he gets Judge Cannon. Everyone nodded and agreed. And it struck me that we've now reached the point where brazen corruption is just expected and accepted as a part of civic life.

The state will pay the $450,000. This, like police brutality settlements, should come out of the assailant's pocket

ABC fired a guy for saying Miller was fueled by hate.

For No Reason at All, Let's Revisit Trump's Creepy Comments About His Daughter Barf Bag: Because a certain news cycle is now definitely going to carry over into next week, it's time to take a trip down memory lane.

Great thread

As we note in Fault Lines the first MTV awards happened soon after and Herbie Hancock and Michael Jackson dominated

How long before Trump threatens to have Rupert Murdoch deported?

The Fugitive part kills me every time

There are easier ways to pay homage but I always respected Guthrie’s pettiness there

Technically Stennis was *almost* deaf

I see we’re at the “OK, Nixon will release his own transcripts of some of the Watergate tapes” stage of this story.

I wonder—does Pam Bondi still believe there’s “no legal basis” for people named in the Epstein files to keep it private?

If I were a Politics Editor, I'd be assigning Epstein timelines, explainers, etc etc etc. Almost everyone has missed/forgotten almost everything about this story along the way. I'm extremely online and just read dude's Wikipedia page for the first time last night, realizing I knew like 10% of it

if i had a nickel for every time a Florida official who helped sweep the Epstein case under the rug ended up in Trump's cabinet, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

At least Hastert apologized: “I want to apologize to the boys I mistreated,” Hastert said. “They looked (up) at me and I took advantage of them.”

ok everyone's seen the trump with epstein photos by now, after years of the media pretending they didn't exist. good progress. next step is making sure everyone who is like "uh this all is sketchy but surely the president isn't literally a pedophile" sees this gross photo

“…amazing how MAGA voters internalized a story about how elitist Democrats look down on them w/contempt, despite evidence to the contrary, & then their own president & party moved to screw them over in every single way imaginable.

…Mencken was right. The people got what they wanted, good & hard.”

if a news organization is regurgitating the Trump administration spin that the grand jury testimony (that we already know does not mention Trump) is a part of or equivalent to "Releasing The Epstein Files" you can know for sure that this organization is our enemy.

American society is so lost that a person like Colbert is now a rare public figure - someone with moral convictions and the courage to speak truth to power. He's considered a comedian, but he's done more to expose the truth than most journalists.

I just finished drafting the last chapter of this manuscript on John Doar and the Civil Rights Division.

Still have to polish the intro, write the epilogue and give the whole thing a full review, but ...

A billboard on Times Square. 💥

I think Larry Ellison is about to become very famous in a very bad way.

Outstanding
