Y-you- you’re thinking about this all wrong, as if I had the Epstein files back in a safe. The Epstein files aren’t here — the Epstein files are in Joe’s house, and Mrs. Menklin’s house, and a hundred others

10 years ago today, the Obama admin dropped what it predicted would be a major bombshell: Russia was meddling in the 2016 election A few hours later, the Access Hollywood tape and left the carefully worded statement all but forgotten until after Trump’s victory www.buzzfeednews.com/article/haye...

"When we rolled that out on Oct. 7, we thought this would get a huge amount of pickup and play and be a catalyzing moment for the country, when the United States government — the intelligence community and DHS — announced jointly that Russians were trying to hack our election," Ned Price, then the chief spokesperson for the National Security Council (NSC), told BuzzFeed News.

"A colleague of mine at another department was on the phone with a reporter, who was asking him questions about the statement," Price said. "My colleague then recalled hearing from the reporter, ‘Oh my god. I’ll have to call you back.'"

One hour after the statement dropped, the Washington Post published the 2005 "grab them by the pussy" tape. Less than half an hour later, WikiLeaks began dumping a new series of emails, this time hacked from the account of John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign chairman.

The reporter never called back.

this is apparently at a Hispanic Heritage Month celebration which makes this both more and less bizarre. Just casually making up new xenophilic (I guess?) stereotypes on a Wednesday afternoon.

new from me: i dug into the White House’s “uh these are just public service announcements” defense for the taxpayer-funded propaganda ads. it’s all bad but the wildest part is them using LITERAL WARTIME PROPAGANDA as a historical precedent to say this is all fine

i got one of my favorite kickers in ages published this weekend www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

Given the difficulties Trump has had, there’s no telling when or how the Iran war will end. But the longer the conflict persists and oil shipments remain hindered, the more likely the shifts in oil demand we’re seeing are to become permanent.

This administration doing anything to purposefully encourage that outcome is deeply unlikely. But if I had a nickel for every time Trump accidentally drove down global carbon emissions through a terrible policy decision, I’d have two nickels. Which, as a fictional mad scientist once said, “isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?”

man I miss shitty photoshop sometimes. it was much funnier to imagine future archaeologists hunched over an image trying to count the pixels as the ancient texts warned them to seek out falsehood

I don’t know a perception filter dropped or something but walking around today I clocked no fewer than five businesses with signage that was clearly AI-generated when before I’d seen zero
