Many of the DOJ files have been heavily redacted in order to protect Epstein’s powerful clients. Still, they have exposed a massive elite nexus revolving around the New York billionaire, implicating presidents, diplomats, and plutocrats in his crimes, and imply that Epstein was significantly more powerful than first thought, shaping modern politics in ways never previously understood.  With shocking new details emerging on a near-hourly basis, here are ten Epstein-related stories that have flown relatively under the radar.

“More people moved out of the U.S. last year than moved in for the first time since the Great Depression as a record number of citizens moved abroad following Donald Trump’s return.” — The Daily Beast

- - -

Ever since Trump returned to office, I have been outraged by everything he is doing to this country. I can no longer stand idly by while he enriches billionaires, ruins the environment, and treads on human rights. That is why I have decided to fight the good fight by moving to Portugal.

While I could call my reps or sign a petition, it feels too hard to take five minutes out of my day. So instead, I am putting my house on the market, carefully wrapping up all my delicate possessions for shipment, setting up mail forwarding, saying goodbye to everyone I know, and doing the paperwork to close on a property in a village just outside Lisbon.

I considered going to a protest downtown. But that seemed a little far, so I am crossing the ocean to Europe.

The Synergistic Synergies Subsidiaries family is devastated to announce the loss of our Chief Happiness Architect, Wayne Tillerson, an invaluable member of our corporate family whose vacant position is already accepting applications through our HR portal.

Wayne will be remembered for his attention to detail, time management, and intermediate Microsoft Word skills, as well as his ability to scale cross-functional employee morale improvements and non-monetary workplace incentive packages aligned with corporate KPIs. He can never be replaced, but we need someone just like him, or preferably better, by next week’s shareholder meeting.

What a difference a week makes. Last Wednesday, I was out pounding the pavements in Gorton and Denton, knocking on doors and chatting with people about their ​lives​​ — now, I’m in parliament. I never dreamed that someone like me could end up in Westminster because I’ve never really seen anyone like me here. The […]

Emails show sex trafficking billionaire Jeffrey Epstein worked Israeli connections to help his lawyer’s daughter join an elite IDF unit. The woman, who Epstein wrote would make a “fantastic ambassador for Israel” at Columbia University, served on the board of Hillel International. Jeffrey Epstein personally recruited an 18-year-old girl from New York to serve “in one of the elite IDF units,” email records show. Epstein’s request came in a June 29, 2011 email to Anat Barak, the daughter of former […]

Before you ask, yes—I’m actually okay. I can feel you hesitating, the way people do when they lower their expectations out of politeness. You ask this question as if it comes with a proviso, like something unfortunate but manageable is about to happen to your lunch. But I’ve been in therapy for a while now, and one of the things I’ve learned is that I’m not responsible for managing other people’s expectations—especially when those expectations were built around a different soda entirely.

I see the moment the question lands. You pause to scan the menu, even though it won’t change. I clock the quick glance toward the server, as if they might somehow intervene. Sometimes you whisper it to the table; sometimes you say it too loudly, like you’re warning everyone else. I stay where I am, patient and effervescent, while you work through your feelings that have nothing to do with me.

In March 2003, hundreds of thousands of us took to the streets to oppose the illegal invasion of Iraq. President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s justification for the war was pithy: it was our moral duty to topple Saddam Hussein and neutralise the global threat he represented. Iraq possessed weapons of mass […]
