So weird that the @nytimes.com doesn't seem to find this release of photos notable enough to cover so far... mysterious.
David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.
He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

It would be hilarious if after the Supreme Court ceded all that power to the executive branch, but before Trump was able to rig the elections, a socialist got elected and used that power for universal healthcare, wealth tax, climate justice etc and those programs became too popular to kill.

Probably the biggest fear of every Gen X'er, by far, was quicksand.
Getting trapped in quicksand is a corny peril of old movies and TV shows, but it really did happen to one unfortunate hiker in Utah’s Arches National Park.

One of the major reasons we are here right now is that the white electorate does not reward politicians for making their lives better if that improvement also benefits non-white people.

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

Huh. Uh... sure.
Of course, without his contributions political polarization, shifting wealth away from the middle and working classes, and emboldening a GOP theory unitary executive power, perhaps he wouldn't have had to be "courageous and clear.
MF'er paved the goddamn road for Trump.

As a NYC voter (n of 1, but I’m hardly alone) I can say that if voting for someone will chagrin Trump, that’s a plus.
If Trump does decide to punish NYC, I’ll just say I don’t think he’s prepared for the NY’er tendency to rally in common cause when confronted with external threats

In the 1st question of his brief interview with Mamdani. Anderson Cooper reports Trump’s strongman threats to punish NYC if the Mayoral candidate is elected, as if he gets to select where funding goes according to his whims, & then asks whether voters will find it “worth the hassle” to vote for him.

Not selected for Film Independent Fast Track. Not surprised, exactly—they're looking for projects that are a little more packaged, which makes sense, but ngl, am a bit disappointed.
That said, we've been having some pretty interesting meetings of late...

There's gotta be a hilarious movie in here somehow.

Logline: Drunk and delusional ideologue returns to her roots as a prosecutor after the safety of fringe TV commentating, only to discover the harsh reality of a still fact-based grand jury system.

Anchorman v The Verdict
Jeanine Pirro’s office tried three times to indict a woman on bogus felony charges of assaulting an ICE agent. A DC grand jury turned her down each time. So Pirro brought a misdemeanor charge instead. And now a trial jury has acquitted her of that. www.huffpost.com/entry/sidney...
Jeanine Pirro Strikes Out Yet Again In Federal Court
Prosecutor Jeanine Pirro failed to secure a felony indictment against the woman three times, then lost a jury trial on a misdemeanor charge. Ouch.

Alex, I'll take "Things that will bite Gavin Newsom in the face in the primary" for $200.
CA governor Gavin Newsom vetoed both of the major AI bills on his desk that Silicon Valley meaningfully opposed—one making it illegal for bosses to use AI to fire workers with no oversight, one requiring chatbot sellers to ensure their products do not harm children before marketing to them.
Silicon Valley's capture of our political institutions is all but complete
The tech lobby kills off two key California AI bills, and why it matters. Plus: How Sam Altman played Hollywood with Sora 2, organized mass social media deletions, and more.
