today’s tech barons get compared to the robber barons (I’ve done it myself) but it’s notable how the current generation has responded to the philanthropic and cultural legacy of Carnegie et al with their own campaign of wanton destruction of cultural institutions

Every Q myth maker was out to hand wave away Trump's corruption, documented sex crimes, perverse obsessions with young women and girls including his own daughter and his decades of friendship with Epstein. Creating an alternate reality where he was a secret agent bring it down from the inside.

The conclusion isn't 'Qanon was right' it's 'Qanon was an op to install Trump, Musk, Thiel and dozens of other Epstein pals into the halls of power and build the most pro-sex criminal regime since slavery.' Which was obvious years ago.

1. The new batch of Epstein documents helps illuminate one contemporary controversy: What is Bari Weiss up to at CBS? I think the answer is she is trying to rehabilate the Epstein network as a bulwark of reactionary centrism. Let me explain.

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence:

this is a straightforward impeachable offense for trump, vance, rubio and every other person down the line who enabled it and the framers would have thought impeachment for it did not go nearly far enough
Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.'"

“Abolish” or “defund” aren't within grasp in 2026. But where are:

- End qualified immunity
- Rewrite use-of-force so this crap isn't ruled “within policy”
- Overturn July 8 mandatory detention memo
- Reinstate TPS
- Open up detention centers, enforce humane conditions

He doesn’t even *ask* for it.
Chuck Schumer just announced demands on DHS to avoid shutdown:
1. End roving patrols, tighten rules on warrants
2. Enforce accountability & unified code of conduct for agents
3. No more masks & require bodycams

There are *already* standards on much of this.

The issue is DHS isn't following them!

Roald Dahl was a very flawed person who had some terrible beliefs but one good thing he did do was share the story of his daughter's death in the hopes that no other family would have to go through the same thing ever again, and it sucks that we've gone backwards on this.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.

This is insane not just the explicit "go break the 4A" substance but how they knew how bad it was, acting in guilty paranoia to cover it up and suppress the written evidence.

This isn't how running a government agency works. This is what a criminal conspiracy looks like, because that's what it is.
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Let's normalize requiring people to actually go out into the world and learn about something -- some actual subject matter -- before becoming pundits.

The vibe I get from TCW, or Weiss, or [pick a name] is that they emerged from college directly into the mediasphere & know nothing else.

Don’t forget Good’s widow.

So the mourning spouse, the mayor, and the governor are under criminal investigation. But not the cops who shot her three times, called her a “fucking bitch,” and denied her medical care.
The DOJ is not investigating ICE agent Jonathan Ross for the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a top official said Sunday.

The top DOJ official confirmed that an investigation is underway into Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.
Justice Department says it has no plans to investigate ICE agent who killed Renee Good and confirms Walz, Frey probe
Frey and the governor’s office both said Sunday that the DOJ has not contacted them about the investigation.
