A favorite JFK quote: "The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.'

Now Larry, they released a mere 240,000 pages. After zipping through them, my team had plenty of time to get back to Trump and Epstein.
"Epstein files? Can't find any of those, but here's something that we're pretty sure doesn't implicate Donald Trump"
Bradley Edwards, attorney for Epstein survivors, says on MSNBC that the executors of Epstein's estate are in possession of the birthday book containing Trump's letter and would be willing to turn it over to authorities
No, there aren’t 5 states (or any) with $1.99 gas. No, prices aren’t “all down” under Trump. No, it isn’t a lie to note prices are up. No, grocery prices aren’t down. No, core inflation isn’t below 2%. Fact check on Trump’s inflation lies last night: cnn.com/2025/07/23/pol…
The president says that if the Fed lowered short term rates, interest expenses for the U.S. would fall by $1 trillion per year. The U.S. spent $1.1 trillion on interest expenses in 2024, and so there's almost no way this claim is remotely true.
Never before in the Nation’s almost 250 year history has America’s present and future depended more on the free press than it does today.
Donald Trump, July 2018: "I accept our intelligence community's conclusion that Russia's meddling in the 2016 election took place."
I do want to apologize for dwelling on my fears a Trump second term could be dangerously authoritarian. But is it ok now to say a word about the president of the United States accusing a predecessor of treason? Or would that be a distraction from kitchen table issues? 🤯
Trump: “It's time to go after people. Obama's been caught directly…He's guilty. This was treason.”
Now Trump is once again threatening Obama, Biden, H. Clinton, and other political opponents via his Department of "Justice". Trump's own words ring even more hollow: "Never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents."
Trump in his second inaugural address: "Never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents - something I know something about."

Jon Stewart reacts to CBS cancelling "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and tells corporations and advertisers to "sack up"
It is astounding (at least to me) that James Earl Ray was (apparently) photographed at Cuban Embassy in Mexico City in Oct. 1967 by the same CIA set-up that allegedly took Oswald’s photo at the same embassy in Sept. 1963. Except the photo wasn’t of Oswald, and the Ray photos only…


Best guess on remaining files. MLK: Today's release of 200,000+ pages include internal memos, info from Ray's former cellmate, foreign evidence & CIA records on international search for Ray. Files admin. claims were stored for decades but not digitized. JFK: NARA has not yet…
First impressions of today's release of MLK Jr. documents: Largely excludes years of malicious FBI surveillance aimed at damaging King’s reputation; Bulk focused on assassination investigation of James Earl Ray containing little that changes the basic narrative. That does not…
I wrote the foreword for a new book on the 2024 election published by UVA's @Center4Politics featuring analysis by @LarrySabato @kkondik and many other journalists and academics. It hits bookstores this Thursday. You can buy it here: bloomsbury.com/us/campaign-of…
