👀 Could it be that the Epstein Files Transparency Act will actually pass both houses of Congress?
Sen. John Kennedy on Epstein: "I just don't think this issue is gonna go away until it's addressed and answered to the American people's satisfaction. And I may end up with a Sombrero on my head for saying that, but that's the way I see it."

NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."
WH claims 'inflation tamed,' per DoorDash stats. Company says that's not in its report.
It comes the same week we learned the WH would likely not release key economic reports for October.

Here's Republican Megyn Kelly defending men who rape 15-year-old girls. Megyn Kelly has a 14-year-old DAUGHTER.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

A new report found that Venezuelans shipped to El Salvador were beaten almost every day.

The men sent to CECOT by the Trump administration used their own blood to write “we are migrants, not terrorists” on a bed sheet.

A ventricular fibrillation “flare up” umm 🤔 i’m not a medical doctor, but I’m pretty sure there’s no such thing. Ventricular fibrillation is life threatening. Only thing that follows is asystole. (Unless they meant atrial fibrillation)
John Fetterman was taken to the hospital after suffering from a “ventricular fibrillation flare-up” and falling near his home

The Sulzberger name comes up in other places. In 2019, Epstein sent himself a list of names "for bannon steve"; one is "Suzlberger". Punch Sulzberger died in 2012, so this may his son Sulzberger Jr, who took over the NYT - and supervised the "but her emails" coverage that helped elect Trump. 4/

Why the NYT didn't report on their Epstein info is tangled up with another question: was Epstein a friend of the Sulzberger family? Epstein claims he first befriended NYT publisher "Punch" Sulzberger in the 1970s, when Sulzberger's daughter (age ~12) was at the prep school where Epstein taught. 1/

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."

In December 2018, Epstein wrote about Trump: “I am the one able to take him down.”
Eight months later, Epstein was found dead in a prison run by the Trump administration.
Weird coincidence.
