Her life was a tragedy but I hope that her legacy, with the help of this book, raises awareness that leads to lasting change. Trumpstein is part of a transnational crime ring that trafficks in humans, drugs (hello Venezuela) and money laundering, along with the Russian oligarchy.

"attempted" cover up because, like everything he does, Trump has failed at.

Or perhaps she would just rather be pretty than smart because that worked out so well for Alina Habba.

Guess what else can't be recreated?

Epstein's prison cell death.

Trump wasn't shot. Not a knick on his ear.

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.

And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.

When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

America is not feeling the full effect of the shutdown because so many people are working without pay.

While I respect their dedication (or fear of losing their jobs), that needs to stop.

All federal workers should refuse to work without pay. Give Congress 10 days to get its shit together, or

That’s wonderful. More evidence that all the creativity and humor—both of which require intelligence—are on our side.

Everything he does is in service to Putin, sabotaging NATO’s formerly greatest ally, so it should be called what it is.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

A 50-year crime spree by Republicans that might have been prevented had Nixon been imprisoned instead of just his subordinates. Trump's lackeys apparently don't remember that part.

the "SAVAGE" with the cosmetic enhancements to mask her insecurities was probably an object of pity and liberals simply don't mock the less fortunate

They're guided by fear so they cling to their momentary grasp on power. It's why they don't enjoy it. The future is coming for them whether they like it or not.

The dinosaurs beholden to corporate donors who've enabled ALL THIS have to be yeeted from Congress. 80 yo Bernie and AOC are still filling arenas, and there are some great (mostly younger) progressives ready to take up the yoke.
