This is also a major reason why the specter of Election Day interference/intimidation matters less and less -- because most of the actual voting in this country happened before Tuesday.

100 percent. Epstein Files (and Iran war) were biggest things we heard from young men on why they turned on him. @jfradioshow, a Trump ally, said lack of transparency on Epstein was the administration’s biggest mistake and helped divide the base
Has virtually disappeared from media coverage but was a core part of why Trump’s credibility collapsed earlier this year

Too little post election analysis mentioning “Epstein” which appeared in a tremendous amount of campaign communications.

🚨 WOW. Gov. Ron DeSantis is GOING OFF right now post-blue tsunami:
"I see the ad, 'so and so voted against releasing the Epstein Files.' I'm like, that's a bad vote. We ran as Republicans saying we need to do that. And you have people in Congress voting against release when the he had all the all this horrific stuff on her desk and that people are gonna be held accountable?!"
"It's untenable when you have people going in trading stocks! I've never traded stocks since I've been in elected office. How do you have no investment acumen, and then all of a sudden get elected to Congress, and then you're outperforming Warren Buffett?"
"I saw how they were running and it was a rejection of what was going on in DC."
I am SO thankful Florida held the line. We avoided some of the MOST horrendous US House wipeouts (still losing some) and our statewide remained red. The legislature is still red
2028 is our only next chance to make a dent in this.

serious question: if you pulled all the "educational" software out of schools, just zeroed it out completely and returned to mostly books and writing, would test scores go up or down? And would schools be better off financially or worse?
google says if you dont want AI in the classroom you wont get search either
earnest Q: highlighted quote seems carefully crafted to suggest there is a technical reason google could not turn off AI in search.
is there *any* truth to that?

A Solicitor General filing used to be a thing of such gravitas, and treated with such respect, that it would be unthinkable and almost disrespectful to deny it without seeing what the other side had to say for itself.
A lot of things have changed.
A lot of things have changed.
In a vacuum, an emergency election-related request from the federal government is the sort of thing that SCOTUS typically would take very seriously. A terse, 9-0 order denying such a request, without even getting the other side's response, is the court's way of sending a message.

DOJ leaders citing a prosecutor they fired to try to defend their own credibility on the Epstein case. The fired prosecutor worked the Epstein case and a judge just ruled against DoJ on that firing.
Looks like these fake news outlets didn’t read the full 497 pages of the transcript - and apparently Ted doesn’t know what a proffer is either. As a reminder, career prosecutors and agents in SDNY, including Maureen Comey herself, oversaw investigations into the “evidence” @tedlieu presents in his report.

Thank you, professor!
📖For folks who read the excellent NYT article on DOJ by 3 time Pulitzer awardee @DevlinBarrett you may find his book The Department of Revenge: How Trump Took Control of American Justice to be a really insightful and terrifying read a.co/d/01NROiIX #Amazon via @amazon

NEWS: The cadence of criminal cases against Dems/Trump critics (and election suits) has quickened to a gallop in the homestretch of the midterms.

Judge rules Article 2 of the Constitution does not give the administration authority to fire whoever it wants at the Justice Department, and that federal law in fact says the opposite. Will other courts agree for plaintiffs not named Comey? nytimes.com/2026/10/26/nyr…

SCOOP: Julio Herrera Velutini, a Venezuelan billionaire, really wanted a pardon. He got it not long after his daughter hired Alina Habba, a lawyer close to Trump, in a deal worth more than $50 million. Habba was also working at DOJ at the time.
