Maybe we need to take a different approach: who in this administration is *not* in the Epstein files?

Musk's ability to persuade investors to suspend their disbelief and back his sci-fi adjacent dreams (rockets to Mars? Fleets of robot taxis?) is unrivalled. It also helps, of course, that he has pulled off impressive feats of engineering, like pushing electric cars into the mainstream with Tesla
Funding the Muskverse will require ever more audacious moves
If folding xAI into SpaceX proves the key to unlocking the next trove of capital, why stop there?
In 2024, Trump stated that only himself and Dan Scavino have access to his Truth Social account.
This contradicts Karoline Leavitt’s implication that some random, unnamed low-level staffer was to blame for posting the now-deleted racist Obama ape video.
Not only that, but I guarantee you that Republicans from Long Island will sponsor legislation to rename Penn for Trump and Republicans from Virginia will do the same for Dulles.
Once again, this would be a Defcon 1 level scandal for any other president and spark weeks of intense media coverage and calls for impeachment.
For Trump, it is merely a Thursday.

L.A. public defenders are on a win streak as Trump's Justice Department charges activists
The federal public defender's office in L.A. was 5 and 0 against prosecutors in trials related to immigration raids and protests. Trial No. 6 was last month.
Irony here is this is the appropriate reaction from Jeffries, but it’s also the kind of reaction Obama was never allowed to have.
BREAKING:
New reaction from Leader Jeffries to the racist Trump video:
"This disgusting video posted by the so-called president was done intentionally. Fuck Donald Trump and his vile, racist, and malignant behavior. This guy is an unhinged bottom feeder."

This is Maria, a 6-year-old detained by ICE last year.
She began to unravel soon after arriving at a detention center in Texas, wetting the bed after years without accidents, crying through the night and begging to breastfeed again.
