Kait’s lengthy report is inconclusive, but narrows down some intriguing paths of inquiry which include Melania, Zamoolli, Blanche & Maxwell. All of whom are living principals with info on Epstein’s activities.

Who could predict consumer paralysis when joy & carefree flew out the window and everyone holds their breath (and wallets) waiting for election results, surprise war/allies bitchslapped, sociopolitical depredations or priceshock turd pie? Hint: hefty Medicare $ cuts coming to hc delivery near you.

I don’t disagree, tho at times, have been overwhelmed myself. Garrett attributes Brian Beutler with “the median experience of tyranny.” For most, including the target groups, it’s just headlines and uninterrupted daily life. He reluctantly acquiesces to the “boiled frog” analogy.

Local police are a big part of how ICE makes arrests. Deportation Data Project records suggest about half of ICE's arrests in 2025 came through jails, and detainer requests in Georgia appear to have risen after HB 1105. austinkocher.substack.com/p/increas…

It looks like he is wearing a protective vest, and the bulk helps to balance the posterior protrusion. I’m persuaded he’s using a walking assist, especially with the logged leg tapping.

It’s fascism 101: Destroy all vestiges of shared reality. We’ll see where Fed’s Warsh stands after today’s meeting. Both bonds & stocks might punish with selling if no rate increase. Inflation headwinds are strong with increase in diesel prices alone.

The local PDs will depend on and normalize the funding, and be loathe to give it up. Effectively making the entire force an adjunct functionary of the Feds, and not likely to refuse ANY request.

How is ICE making record arrests? I found the answer in Pa. coal country, where cops lured by a promise of federal $$$ have embraced ICE's 287(g) and are throwing up checkpoints, raiding job sites, arresting 100s, and terrorizing their communities My special report www.inquirer.com/opinion/penn...

I was in the office and we were hearing about the 3rd & 4th planes. A coworker addressed my fears by assuring me nearby Independence Hall was not a target. Really dude? Anyway we closed at 11, I’m guessing he didn’t reassure himself.

After 2 months, I’m still having weekly bouts from cyclospora lettuce. I can tell bc “eau d’explosiv” is so distinctly not of me. I can only hope that my McD filet o’ fish (a favorite, after years) is not on the recall lists.

I have trouble squaring the WSJ reporters winning journo award for exposing Trump’s pedo bday card to Epstein, then smiled when shaking his hand at correspondents’ dinner. Question all your major media- Natalie Harp became (sexless!) media obsession bc not a threat to established power structures.

I doubt you’ll change many minds, despite Herculean efforts. Rick Wilson recently acknowledged GOP consultants’ slang: 25% of their base are cousins who f**k. I belatedly realized having been raised to be negatively judgmental, and switched gears. Doubt that’s a widespread phenomenon though.

In 2025, DoD spent $Ms on lobster, ribeye steaks, Alaskan King crab legs, salmon etc + furniture including fruit stands and foot rests. $50B spent on grants/contracts in the last 5 days of September, before use-it-or-lose-it budget expiration.

Trump recently extended NG in DC thru 2029, jic anyone thought he might be leaving at end of final term. He was waiting for the armed NG on J6, but recently modified authorities prevented their deployment. IMO, his plan was to federalize troops, suspend Congress & seize ballots.

Helluva story by Chicago journalists tracking down the same ICE agents terrorizing people in Virginia, Minneapolis and Chicago. Remember this exchange from January in MN? Same guy as this week in Virginia.
“You’re not gonna like the outcome of this, sir. I guarantee you’re not going to like the outcome,” Lagunas tells the driver. “Go home to your children. It’s Sunday. You did not learn from what just happened? Go home to your kids.” 

“Learned what?” the man filming asks.

It should be a priority for legit biz- pullback due to failure of trust hurts them too. But, since unquantifiable, escapes notice. And, it’s all too well noted how many bent the knee for a tax cut. You’d think they would resent winnable consumer $ getting lapped up by scammers.
