The Curious Case of Michael Wolff: From Epstein’s PR Guy to “Whistleblower Hero”
How a Trump biographer spent decades in Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit, helped shape the spin, raised nearly $800K off Melania Trump – and still wants a standing ovation.

It's been clear for a while that the NYT, currently being subjected to another baseless vindictive lawsuit by Trump to silence it, is self-censoring many reports about the Trump Regime. In fact, it's done relatively little reporting (if any) about Trump's call to execute 6 Democrats for treason.
I noted that my local paper, the Albany Times Union reported today on the war crimes accusations against Hegseth (and Trump's indicating he wouldn't have supported killing survivors). The NYT, however, still hasn't touched this story that was credibly reported by the Washington Post.
