Why MAGA is Right about Jeffrey Epstein It’s rare that I agree with the MAGA conspiracy theory loonies, but, in the case of the Epstein files, they deserve an answer about why the full folder has not been released.

Case closed on Epstein? I don’t think so. Read why in my new post on Substack’s Fresh Hell.

My Video Chat with the Foreign Policy Wise Man Richard Haass I spoke with my friend Richard, author of Substack’s Home and Away and the celebrated President Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations about why, despite Iran’s bluster, its options are limited ...

Got wise insights about the Iran/Israel crisis from Richard Haass, CFR’s President Emeritus, who spoke about the pull of diplomacy vs drama for US presidents in foreign policy decisions. You can watch the whole conversation on Fresh Hell on Substack.

It's with such sadness I note the passing of legendary Brazilian photographer SebastiΓ£o Salgado. He was due to speak at Truth Tellers May 7, but felt too ill to attend. He devoted his life to capturing the humanity of working people and disappearing Amazon rainforest. A great artist, and great man.

After flying private a few times with gilded friends, I’m convinced it is the ultimate corrupting force. Plus, a cabinet only Andy Cohen could love.

Trump being unable to resist the bait of that luxury 747 from Qatar only reinforced what I wrote about the corrupting influence of private planes. Sharing it again in case you missed it!
