@mattyglesias I guess I’m confused as to why this isn’t a big deal? Like if he’s jet lagged that’s fine but he should just say so and take a nap on the couch? But it is otherwise very odd for a high official to be asleep and no one even mentions it?
The overall takeaway from the Epstein survivors’ press conference is that they are united and are no longer going to allow rich and powerful men to victimize, silence and intimidate them.
Including the ones in Congress and the perp in the Oval Office.
2/ The primary way to get to Trump is at his golf clubs. Reportedly, a $5 million donation to Trump's political operation gets you a one-on-one meeting. $1 million will get you a group private dinner.
Putting a price on a one-on-one meeting isn't normal.

The Supreme Court's emergency docket decision to allow Trump to gut the Department of Education is maybe the most pro-Trump, pro-Authoritarian ruling the Court has made in service of Trump thus far, and I've read them all.

“Trump wrote on Truth Social shortly after the story went live on Thursday that he warned the Journal and ‘Rupert Murdoch, personally’ about running the story, and that he ‘will be suing The Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp, and Mr. Murdoch.’ The president called the story ‘false, malicious, and defamatory’ and described the Journal as a ‘Disgusting and Filthy Rag.’”

Just finished taping with Stephen Colbert who announced his show was cancelled.
If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better.
Predictably cowardly by CBS. And especially rough the day after PBS. But potentially liberating for Stephen. Who is a national treasure and one of the nicest people I’ve ever met anywhere.
He’s never been more important and powerful. And this illustrates it. I hope now he can really let the fists fly. And I predict his audience will only grow in whatever comes next.
I’ve got his back now and always. As he’s always had the backs of all veterans. And so many other communities that have needed a voice and support.
Thank you for all you do and are, Stephen. Especially in times like these. You’re a true patriot. Pour it on.🇺🇸

Pardons also derail the payment of restitution to victims
Very relevant in some of the most recent cases
From Jan 6 pardons, it’s taxpayers who won’t be repaid
Trump is just going to keep slinging pardons to the highest bidders because the power is unlimited & Repubs in Congress won’t say a word. Despite no legal or moral justification, they will come steadily all 4 years - each more reprehensible and brazen than the one before it.
In mid-May, the gate opens to Sheep’s Rock pine forest rising to 5000 ft. Moss covers old growth, #native bunch grasses abound on rugged terrain with trails worn into the hillside. The #wildhorses follow them up and down, burning calories stored over winter for this purpose.
