Opinion | Trump's latest argument on the Epstein files was predictable He’s leaning heavily on a scandal playbook he’s used before, but it’s getting diminishing returns.

Let me take a victory lap here for predicting back in November what Trump would say this weekend www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

Three rules in FBI firearm training:

1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot

Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

Rep. Mark Harris: "Some of these things are nonstarters. Having judicial warrants? To me, hat's a nonstarter. Being able to make off their mask, putting them at risk? That's a nonstarter. I would say anything that's going to hamstring the work of ICE, that's just not going to go anywhere."

Sometimes the critics have a point. Christopher Nolan's casting is deeply ahistorical. Tom Holland looks nothing like how Telemachus is described.

Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."

some of these folks also treat "Manhattan" as the same as "New York City," like folks can go to a grocery a lot easier in Brooklyn, friendo

Trump is reusing his scandal playbook on the Epstein files The president has a predictable set of arguments. The one coming next is clear.

Nov. 19: "If he follows his playbook, then the next argument is clear: pretend he was exonerated."

Feb. 1: "Donald Trump said he was 'absolved' of wrongdoing after the department of justice released the latest batch of Epstein files."

Good morning. Here's the great @sophiegilbert.bsky.social torching Melania, the first lady; Melania, the movie; and just leveling what's become of American entertainment.
