one of the most infuriating parts of the Epstein story is over the same years that young women went to police and reported assault, and were ignored, law enforcement is pushing this idea that they need massive grants and manpower to rescue thousands of girls they say donβt even know theyβre victims

'I don't care about Direct File': IRS chief says agency plans to end free filing program
Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Bill Long said the agency will end its Direct File program.
The IRS's free Direct File tool is now "gone," according to Trump's IRS chief.
This comes after tax prep companies like Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the for years to block it.
Intuit donated $1M to Trumpβs inauguration.
See how this works?

1/ Important:
"Epstein was actually still on the Mar-a-Lago membership logs up to 2007. ... That of course is a year after Jeffrey Epstein's arrest in Florida."
So Trump didn't kick him out for many years after knowing Epstein 'stole' Virginia Giuffre from MAL in 2000.

But thereβs no one who thinks he didnβt.

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."
It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes
