Last month, the government released millions of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, and since, much of the focus has been on his previously unpublished emails. But buried within the data dump were some 2,000 videos that had never been released.

Today, we’re publishing 14 hours of that footage.

Excited to welcome Shilo Brooks, clearly a brother in arms, to the podcasting sphere. @OldSchoolPod from @TheFP is the kind of great books content we desperately need in a world sick with fakery and gunk. Into my veins:

I just knew something was wrong. I’d worked in mainstream media long enough to know that we were publishing opinions as facts—even if I agreed with them at the time, I knew we were betraying the American public.

That’s why I sent this cold email to @bariweiss in 2022.

One friend told me to take this job—that’s it. The rest sent me links to hit pieces or listed reasons why it was a mistake. But sometimes you just know.

I didn’t even know that there was going to be a Free Press. When I reached out to Bari, all I knew was that she ran a Substack called Common Sense. But when we got on the phone and I heard her say “The Free Press” for the first time, I got chills.

This job is what they told us journalism was when I was at Columbia Journalism School. The professors there talked about how to build relationships with your sources. Relationships with sources? The newsrooms I worked at after graduate school were glorified content factories. Most stories were written via Zoom interviews, if any interviews had been conducted at all. Many reporters just wrote up their stories based on press releases and C-SPAN footage alone.

Not The Free Press.

I had hardly been at the job for 48-hours, when @SnoozyWeiss, @IsaacGrafstein, and I hopped on a plane to Twitter HQ to help (in small ways) on the Twitter files.

I have reported on the Crow Nation, speaking with a tribal member trying to teach the next generation of boys how to ride bareback. I’ve taken the next flight to Lexington, Kentucky to attended an evangelical revival. I have knocked on doors trying to find anyone who knew Daniel Penny. I have gone undercover at terrorist-linked conferences. I once spent an entire month following @JDVance around the Capitol, trying to convince him for an interview. I went to a Miami strip club at midnight to interview dancers about Ron DeSantis (don’t ask). I snuck into a Biden event the day after his shocking debate performance—there I pressed Katy Perry, Kirsten Gillibrand, and others for comment. I exposed a massive crisis of police suicides in Chicago through public records requests. I nearly was accidentally stabbed by a needle mixed with fentanyl, tranq, and a drug user’s blood in Kensington, Philadelphia.

I’ve interviewed migrants, Luigi Mangione stans, and Joe Rogan. I once interviewed Diplo in a sauna about G-d.

I have penetrated gaggles of 30 reporters deep to shout questions to presidential candidates.

This is the job I always wanted.

If I ever get anxiety, it’s because I wonder—what if I hadn’t written to Bari that day? Where would I be? But when you follow your gut, you just know. And all signs pointed me here.

Free Press forever!

When I joined @TheFP a little over two years ago, I remember sitting with @bariweiss and @NellieBowles around their LA kitchen table with @SnoozyWeiss, @EmilyYoffe, @petersavodnik, @IsaacGrafstein and @SulkinMaya. I can't believe where we are now. 🚀

MAGA world’s latest refrain is that Democrat Party elites orchestrated a coup against Joe Biden.

But with 90% of Democrats cheering Biden’s exit from the race, his ouster only proves that the people still have a voice.

Why didn’t you speak up sooner, Clooney?!?!?!

[The Free Press @TheFP]

At a NATO conference today, Biden introduced Volodomyr Zelensky as “President Putin.”

Only weeks ago, anyone who acknowledged Biden’s cognitive decline was accused of being a Trumper, an ageist, or a dummy, easily duped by “cheapfakes.”

West Virginia has the highest rate of opioid overdose deaths in the nation. And in the state’s southwestern Lincoln county, with parents falling victim to drug addiction, half of kids are now being raised by their grandparents, @Olivia_Reingold reports.
