Rich Brain What do super-rich people think about constantly? In chapter three of our series, we find one answer in the Epstein files

Trump and others committed plenty of sex crimes, but their wider circle of the ultra wealthy spend much of their lives hoarding their riches, and virtually no time trying to make the world a better place, or contributing to anything worthwhile, and yet we award them huge tax breaks.

For what?

Yes. There is that.

And, it has become increasingly difficult for his stylists to do his hair to conceal how old he looks.

Never eat with women In chapter two of our Epstein Class series, we examine a strange absence in the photographic record -- and the greatest fear of the men in Epstein's circle

Need a long-read on Sunday? This is the best piece I have seen on the larger societal implications of the “Epstein Class”, how profoundly it has maintained the distortions — and not just the misogyny— that persist in so many policy arenas, and how impervious to criticism it has become.

Marshall’s sardonic humor wins today, if not the month!

Talk about Congressional privilege ! This republican congressman, Gonzales, from Texas, had an affair with his intern who then committed suicide. Not to worry. He’s a congressman. He gets immediate forgiveness from God.

That other place has been terrible since Elon Musk bought it. But the Iran war has made it far worse, worse than the imagination can conjure.

It’s mostly slop, fakes, and crap.

The complete absurdity of Trump’s world view: nothing matters if it doesn’t enrich him and his family…not even the welfare of Americans! 👇👇

3/3 All his reasons align like the planets tonight!

Besides, Iran has no nuclear or capabilities because, as he said six months ago, he “obliterated” those capabilities. Either he lied then or he’s lying now. Either way, he’s lying as into a morally reprehensible war for his own corrupt reasons.

2/3 That’s just his lying excuse.

He has corrupt reasons. The Gulf states are enemies of Iran. He’s doing it for them, because they have been enriching him and his family. And because a nation at war is a nation more easily intimidated into voting for the incumbent. And to distract from Epstein?

1/3 Starting a war is always immoral. Starting this war is reprehensible beyond words. There is no justification for it. Because Iran won’t sign a nuclear disarmament agreement? Like the one negotiated by Obama that Trump tore up? And now he’s blaming them because they won’t sign one with HIM?

And now he’s attacking Iran, because they won’t sign such an agreement with HIM !

EPSTEIN MURDERED….?

The Epstein files show that there was at least some federal investigation into “the murder of Jeffery Epstein”. Read this 👇

Trump was president then. I wonder why that investigation never developed a full head of steam.

The illegal tariffs were paid almost entirely by importers. If there are refunds, these importers will get them.

Higher consumer prices, raised because of the tariffs, were paid by consumers. They will get no tariff refunds.

Only those who paid them will get refunds, importers, not consumers!

Don’t Be Fooled By the Corrupt Court’s Tariff Decision….

This should be free of a paywall.

Josh Marshall at TPM on why even today’s decision shows how thoroughly corrupt the Supreme Court has become.

It’s because Republicans want Crockett to win the Democratic primary, believing she will be easier to defeat in the general election.

Meta’s AI glasses empower creeps Over the last year, Meta’s AI smart glasses have been used by deviant men to surreptitiously record videos of women and children.

We do not need more evidence that Mark Zuckerberg and Meta are evil. And yet, here is more evidence of their evilness!

Read this. The article is much worse than this headline!

Trump is being badly hurt among all the Crypto Bros who eagerly supported him as crypto crashes, with Bitcoin quickly crashing, down by half from its peak.
