Truly apropos of nothing, one of the most inexplicable parts of Trump Era media coverage has been the total lack of interest in his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. They were very close friends! Ghislane recruited girls AT MAR-A-LAGO. There's video of them giggling as they watch young girls dance!

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —Arrested at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I wrote about how all this MAGA tariff support is just like finance QAnon (even when Trump backs down). Trust the plan. Follow the crumbs. Trump's in control. A golden age is nigh. This is how people break from reality now. (gift) www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Biggest mistakes I'm seeing in early reporting (thread): 1. Tariffmageddon isn't over: Lotsa tariffs to account for, but the average tariff rate is only down around one quarter. So most of the pain of Liberation Day is still with us.

The discourse around tariffs has been “things will get more expensive” but I am here to tell you that I am knee deep in reporting on this subject and I strongly suspect that if super high tariffs endure, it will shift to certain items cease to be available at any price
