So, did David French and Helen Andrews (a writer and editor who served as a senior editor at The American Conservative) intend to become the leaders in the future Republic of Gilead, or just blundered into it? @nytopinion.nytimes.com @nytpitchbot.bsky.social

“President Donald Trump, discussing the United States’ nuclear weapons capabilities, discussed what he described as the “two n-words." “I moved a submarine or two, I won’t say about the two, over to the coast of Russia just to be careful, because we can’t let people throw around that word,” Trump said. “I call it the n-word. There are two n-words, and you can’t use either of them.”

As some much smarter than me noticed “Buried details: the 18% of kids whose identities shifted over the course of the study were overwhelmingly between binary trans and non-binary/vice versa. The # who shifted between binary cis and trans was very low indeed - out of a subset of 254, *one* kid ”
Buried details: the 18% of kids whose identities shifted over the course of the study were overwhelmingly between binary trans and non-binary or vice versa. The number who shifted between binary cis and trans was very low indeed - out of a subset of 254, precisely *one* kid shifted in this way

It was not immediately clear to which records he was referring in his social media post. Federal grand jury testimony is by law confidential, and Trump said in the post that the release is “subject to court approval.” Records from a state grand jury that investigated Epstein in 2006 were released last year by a Florida judge. Trump’s announcement came minutes after he pledged to sue the Wall Street Journal over its Thursday evening report, which said that he contributed a drawing of a naked woman to Epstein’s 50th birthday album in 2003. The letter concluded with “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret,” according to the Journal report.

Hate Speech is not Free Speech! #Facebook #MarkZuckerberg #HateSpeechIsNotFreeSpeech
Calling women ‘household objects’ now permitted on Facebook after Meta updated its guidelines New York CNN — Meta on Tuesday announced sweeping changes to how it moderates content that will roll out in the coming months, including doing away with professional fact checking. But the company also quietly updated its hateful conduct policy, adding new types of content users can post on the platform, effective immediately. Users are now allowed to, for example, refer to “women as household objects or property” or “transgender or non-binary people as ‘it,’” according to a section of the policy prohibiting such speech that was crossed out. A new section of the policy notes Meta will allow “allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality.”

Matt Gaetz Accused of Drug Use, Paying for sex in Ethics Report An ethics panel report concluded that Gaetz violated state laws and House rules. The House Ethics Committee accused former Representative Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s former pick for attorney general, of paying for sex, possessing illegal drugs and having sexual relations with an underage girl, according to the panel’s report. The report, which was released on Monday, found that from at least 2017 to 2020, Mr. Gaetz “regularly paid women for engaging in sexual activity with him”; and, in 2017, “engaged in sexual activity with a 17-year-old girl,” the report said. The Ethics Committee found that from 2017 to 2019, Mr. Gaetz used or possessed illegal drugs, including cocaine and ecstasy “on multiple occasions,” and accepted lavish gifts, including transportation to and lodging in the Bahamas, in excessive of permissible amounts. “Representative Gaetz has acted in a manner that reflects discreditably upon the House,” the report stated
