Studies find that universities see an increase in applications and an increase in the number of donations after a public scandal about mishandling sexual violence. These tactics are a part of why. The school declares themselves “changed” and a “leader” in PR campaigns.

My investigators have confirmed the Trump administration is hiding interview documents it conducted with some of Epstein’s banks, and there could be more. There’s no limit to how far Scott Bessent, Kash Patel and Todd Blanche will go to continue this cover up.

Nicole is a leading expert on the issue of campus sexual violence. I am floored that USA Today would do this to her. I find this kind of journalistic behavior unethical and morally reprehensible, twisting an interview with a renowned advocate for survivors into a hit piece against a survivor.

I have advocated in the past for announcers addressing the off-field gendered violence committed by athletes during games. But I am coming around to the belief that this is a bad idea. These men cannot handle the assignment and aren’t qualified. They could learn, yes, but they won’t.

🤔 The Senate Finance Committee of which Wyden is a member, is investigating Epstein's links to JP Morgan Chase, Deutsche Bank and BofA. I suspect the banker in this case is the same individual that handled Trump's account at Deutsche Bank. It is all connected.

I hate that the biggest story from Jack Smith's testimony yesterday was that kerfuffle with that Senator looking like an idiot for confusing the Iowa Hawkeyes w/the Atlanta Hawks. It's obscured the important story of the crimes of which Jack Smith was investigating DJT + the evidence uncovered.

One thing I’m going to say about the Cornell case and the characterization of the woman who has filed the civil suit, by her advocates, as “brave” “strong” and the like: 1. Yes she is 2. There are plenty of valid reasons why equally brave & strong SA victims can’t come forward with their stories

If you like me are a survivor of rape who is maybe losing her mind a bit this week, I recommend a few movies about surviving men/holding them accountable: “Sorry, Baby” “Is God Is” and “Supergirl” Supergirl was, in a way, about fraternity rape culture I discuss them here:
