I used to listen to loveline on KROQ in LA at night. It was, at least in my memory, this open-minded and constructive beacon amid a vast ocean of crank late night radio programs. Very sad the careers it launched went to total loss.

I’ve simply never known analysis presented in this particular your-stockbroker-knows-all-leave-the-money-with-him tone to be correct. Perhaps this will be the time.

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

β€œA DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credibleβ€”and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

I don’t think the incompetence actually is going to be what Kristi Noem is remembered for.

It will be the killings, the lawlessness, and the grift, if I had to guess.

I do think β€œGraham Platner was a bartender who personally served some DC pundits and reporters and was known to them” is a pretty big part of the skeleton key to unlocking how he got so much cash and media attention so fast and why they’re so determined to stay all in on him now

There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. β€œMAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!).” Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The U.S. lost 92,000 jobs in February, the Labor Department said Friday, missing expectations.
That was short of January's gain of 126,000 jobs, and worse than the gain of 50,000 jobs that economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had expected to see.

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

Probably first major US loss of the conflict when it comes to ballistic missile defense. One of TPY-2 radars belonging to the THAAD battery deployed to Muwaffaq Salti Airbase in Jordan seems to have been struck. The full radar set goes over $200M.

Prior to being asked any questions regarding the case,

whether they could audio record the interview.
advised she was not

requested agents explain to her
the goal and parameters of the fourth interview.
She indicated she was
aware that because she was victimized several years prior, the statutes of limitation of any viable federal violation may have run.
She asked agents,
"what's the point?" The agents explained that all victims of crime should have the opportunity to tell their story; they wanted to provide her with that opportunity should she choose to accept.
The agents also explained why
they wished to keep the fourth interview focused on abuse
endured at the

DOJ has posted some pages of the missing Epstein files related to the FBI’s belated investigation of Trump’s participation in Epstein crimes after Epstein’s arrest and death in custody in 2019, and they are as bleak as you might expect. www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...
