LinkedIn used to have a "Request User Verifies Identity" option. I used it quite often when dealing with pro-Trump trolls. It's gone now.

Jen Psaki is doing a succinct analysis on MS NOW of the "60 Minutes" story and why this is so bad for journalism in the U.S.

Okay, WHAT!? Check the date on my dream...

"Anyone can read the redactions of the Epstein Files by just copying and pasting them into a word doc. The people at Trump's Justice Department are so stupid they used Adobe Acrobat to black out the documents."
