- the number of academics who were in touch with Epstein really puts the (elite) backlash to Title IX's enforcement against sexual violence into perspective.

- y’all know I was skeptical but Spanberger has been great. Her people have been great. Had a meeting earlier today with some of her folks and they’re saying exciting things about employee rights and enforcement. very happy so far.
- We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

- Actually starting to feel very allergic to the claim that Epstein's crimes are a function of his class. His money obviously increased the scale of his abuse and granted him additional impunity, but to say that wealth was the genesis of his depravity feels like willful blindness to gender.

- Nuts that we have regressed so far in taking feminism seriously that being like "I actually think the massive sex trafficking operation might have something to do with gender inequality" is now a point that seriously has to be made.
- The Wayback is now so load-bearing we should be protecting it with our actual lives

- Ron really doesn't like it either
- Best Twitter riposte of the day.
- ICE at the polls! Bannon is basically yelling “fire” in a crowded theater here. His objective is to cause chaos (and suppress votes on the left). And it’s already working. This threat works on multiple levels and doesn’t have to be “real” to serve its purpose. Let me explain & offer some advice.
- Steve Bannon says the federal government is planning to send ICE officers to patrol polling stations during the midterms. "We're going to have ICE surround the polls come November." "We're not going to sit here and allow you to steal the country again." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

- My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power
- Yes, FBI? I’m calling to report a murder.
- this is exactly right. "popularism" in practice amounts to an abdication of political leadership!
