Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears.

Costco in West Oakland is great for everyone. Blue collar workers and young men especially reeling with high unemployment in Oakland need these pro-union, good paying jobs. it also helps reverse a food desert and brings tax revenue to Oakland instead of Emeryville. Lots of wins here.

Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

“Gantchev suffered from type 2 diabetes and told his wife no diet accommodations were made for him. She and Anna said the small amount of food that is given to people detained at North Lake was not enough for maintaining Gantchev's blood sugar levels.”

Every single democratic senator voted to confirm Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. Every single one. Not one “no” vote.
Q: Do you stand by your statement from earlier this year that nobody has died from USAID cuts?

RUBIO: I'm very proud of the changes we've made in foreign aid

This relates to what @theferocity.bsky.social said on Wednesdays vibe check. We are acting differently and this sums up why.
Since yesterday, many people have DM’d to say that they were strongly affected by my essay & wished they could share it.

So I've revised, expanded, & posted it for free on both Substack & Patreon.

Please feel free to share.

There's a dark triad for predatory scammer types: refusing to pay their bills; constantly name-dropping and social-climbing in pursuit of new marks; escalating depravity as if in an attempt to see if there's anything they can't get away with. The problem is that millions of Americans are like this.

One small way to try to re-establish social trust would be to transparently disclose *in this very column* that you hung out with Jeffrey Epstein.

hell, I think it's perfectly reasonable for someone *not to have known who Epstein was* in 2010. It wasn't a massive story then! But you've got to disclose that you met him *when you write about him now*.
you know, I'd understand if someone said "okay well before any photos come out, I had dinner with Jeffrey Epstein in 2010. I knew he was a scumbag but I wanted to meet Woody Allen. It was stupid and I regret it." but now it's just like oh there's David Brooks in a photo dump with some poor teenager

Forget about the nonsense stories like the Kennedy Center being renamed or whatever Bari Weiss is doing

At least 3,800 immigrant children were detained in 2025. Now, kids are not supposed to be kept more than 20 days

At least 1,300 of them have been held longer than 20 days-some for over 4 months

David Brooks writing about how there was nothing to see with the Epstein Files while not disclosing *he was in them* is at least a Nuzzi-level journalistic scandal

What I'm saying is, get ready to see a nude painting of David Brooks in the NYT within weeks

if any journalist of color I know had their photo included in the Epstein files, they would be immediately fired and blacklisted from contributing or working full-time for other media companies
