Donald, the Call Is Coming From Inside the House “Senior administration officials” are leaking to the press. The polls on the Epstein saga are terrible. The coverup is unraveling.

A new *Fox News* poll finds that 80 percent of American voters are following the Epstein story, and that Republicans, independents, and Democrats all majority agree the government has not been transparent. This is how cover-ups fall apart.

Live updates: House committee to subpoena Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell; Trump talks trade with Philippine president Live updates: Trump to host Philippine president at the White House

I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict:
1) Ghislaine Maxwell does not implicate (or even mention) the man identified as John Doe 174; and
2) she says whatever she needs to say to get a presidential pardon.

So Curtis Yarvin is a fool, so it will not surprise you that 'executive' is not, in fact, a 'literal synonym' of 'monarchy.'

Executive is just "that which carries out" from Latin exsequor, 'to follow to completion.' There is no etymological reason the executive needs to be a single person.

Democrats need to hire Pete Buttigieg as their official spokesperson and pay him a cool million to start. No one is going to donate money to Democrats anymore until they get their collective shit together and fight back.

He couldn’t even run a charity without breaking the law—Now he believes he’s in charge of the Supreme Court, Congress, our rights, and the U.S. justice system. Who’s going to stop him?!

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
