Summers is stepping down from teaching at Harvard, pending an investigation into his ties to Epstein. I'm just marveling at how few friends a person would have to have if they need to turn to *Jeffery Epstein* for dating advice. It's like asking Jeffery Dahmer for cooking tips.
WTF. Trump snaps "Quiet, piggy!" at reporter after she pushes with line of questions about Epstein. I'd not seen this, but it apparently happened on AF1 on Sunday. We all know Trump is an entitled, sexist jerk, but this is also just weird. I'm not a neurologist, but I suspect this behavior - in response to a predictable question on camera in front of the press corps - is diagnostically significant.
Fighter jet flyby over the WH and up 16th street, rattled the windows just now. Presumably related to trying to impress the visiting Saudi prince. image

Now that Trump supports releasing the Epstein files, which are in the custody of the branch of government he controls, he doesn't need a congressional vote. He can just release them. Perhaps he didn't understand this.
Every now and then I rediscover this amazing website that integrates tax assessment photos taken of almost every building in NYC in the 1940's with a clickable map. Sort what Google street view would look like, if it were 1946.
If you're going to claim that a presidential election is stolen, you need a better smoking gun than "the former owner of a company that made a household plug-in surge protector that was used by some counties to protect some voting equipment supported one of the candidates".
A reminder that if I block you, it’s definitely because I’m afraid of your superior intellect, arguments, and attractiveness. It has nothing to do with your being an annoying, toxic dimwit. My blocking you means I have surrendered! Enjoy your victory.
King of UK, to his own brother: "That does it, you're not a prince any more. Out you go." US, now that Trump is clearly implicated: "Technically it's not really pedophilia if the girl is 14." The freaking *British royal family* is doing a better job cleaning house than we are.
