Among the millions of Epstein documents released Friday by the DOJ, several involve Brad Karp, the chairman of the mega law firm Paul Weiss, which was the very first firm to bend the knee to Felon Trump. I analyze the documents & the relationship between Epstein and Karp.

Society is a constellation of shared beliefs that we constantly affirm to each other in order to fit in. This lies below material experience. It cannot be escaped. It cannot be avoided. Liberals ignore these social dynamics at their own immense peril.

Biden got absolutely hosed by this because everyone, regardless of partisanship, agreed that Joe Biden was the Senile Inflation President, because that was the view on TikTok that proved you were In The Know, and thus they all convinced themselves groceries doubled in two years.

Fun fact: most people have no good way to tell if inflation is moderate or low or nonexistent, and that means their experience of inflation is almost entirely mediated through social narratives they encounter in politics/media.

The U.S. dollar is getting weaker—and that’s just how Donald Trump wants it, @willgottsegen.com writes in The Atlantic Daily.
Why Trump Wants a Weaker Dollar
The approach could boost the economy—unless the president’s policies get in his own way.

A big piece on the dynamic the left has of picking litmus tests over coalitional organizing. I don't agree with every point or example in here, but it's definitely worth a read. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Republicans have become adept at creating broad coalitions in which supporting Trump is the only requirement. Democrats get tied up with litmus tests.

"abolishing ICE"—ie breaking up and overhauling DHS—can only happen with both houses of congress and either a Dem in White House or a veto-proof majority.

worthy goal. but rather than circular firing squads over who has said it...what are the steps to get us closer to it.

So, is Nicolas Maduro getting the Ghislaine Maxwell deal to lie that Venezuela magically hacked the 2020 election (don’t ask how) or at least to not contradict it?

Decent chance this is dumber and less planned than that, like other attempts to validate something obviously false Trump made up.)

Actually starting to feel very allergic to the claim that Epstein's crimes are a function of his class. His money obviously increased the scale of his abuse and granted him additional impunity, but to say that wealth was the genesis of his depravity feels like willful blindness to gender.
I understand the reasons why it’s more jarring and consequential to see it happen among billionaires, but the kind of shrugging disinterest or impishly approving encouragement of sexual abuse among Epstein’s circle is the same dynamic that happens in less powerful milieus.
