Just got out of a showing of “Musk” I drove 45 miles to see at a Simi Valley Regal, one of only three theaters within a 50-mile radius of L.A. showing it this weekend. Full house. I wish I could drag everyone I know back out here to see it.
It has not concluded. But, in order to overcome social media platform censorship, there is also a work-around. See announcement tomorrow, 10/26.

🚨Out of the 11 women who tie Donald Trump to Epstein’s sex trafficking operation, 5 of them—Beatrice Keul, Stacey Williams, Jill Harth, Katie Johnson, and a Jane Doe—have directly accused Trump of raping or sexually assaulting them in Epstein’s company or direct physical presence: • Beatrice Keul credibly alleges that Trump violently raped her at a November 1993 pageant at the Plaza Hotel in New York City and that Epstein, Trump, and others used this pageant as a “hunting ground” to prey on vulnerable young women and girls; • Stacey Williams, who offered a detailed and corroborated account of Trump sexually assaulting her in the early 1990s while she was alone with him and Epstein in an office at Trump Tower; • Jill Harth, who has also publicly detailed Trump aggressively pursuing and violently sexually assaulting her and another woman in 1994 at a Mar-a-Lago party where Epstein and Trump were the only men present; • Katie Johnson, who gave FBI a detailed account of her repeated rape at the hands of Trump and Epstein in 1994 in New York City when she was a minor; • A Jane Doe, who offered FBI a graphic account of Trump assaulting her when she was a minor in the mid-1980s in New York by forcibly pushing her head down to his exposed penis. Beyond these direct allegations of physical assault, three survivors speak of encounters with Trump whose circumstances indicate that he was a participant in Epstein’s crimes, as shown by how Epstein and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, tried to make (or made) these women available for sex. •Two Epstein survivors, “Jane” and “Kate”, told FBI that either Epstein or Maxwell seemingly offered them up to Trump for the purposes of sex or indicated their availability. Jane and Kate were deemed so credible that federal prosecutors called them to testify as government witnesses, subject to probing cross- examination, against Ghislaine Maxwell at her criminal trial. • Another survivor, Maria Farmer, described how Epstein had to actively prevent Trump from preying on her late at night after Trump confused her with a teenage girl potentially victimized by Epstein.
🚨BREAKING: Rep. Jamie Raskin released a new Committee staff report detailing evidence involving 11 women, five of whom directly accuse Donald Trump of rape or sexual assault in Jeffrey Epstein’s close company or presence. The report concludes that, based on the available evidence and witness testimony, Trump and Paolo Zampolli, who until recently served as a senior Trump Administration official and diplomat, may have been co-conspirators in Jeffrey Epstein’s conspiracy to traffic and abuse young women in the 1990s. These stories are united by time, place, and the distinct factual similarities in how Trump and Epstein pursued, manipulated, and abused these women. With one exception, these accounts of sexual assault and conspiracy involve episodes that took place between 1992 and 1997 in New York City and Palm Beach, at a time when Trump and Epstein were “close friends” and participated in a shadowy subculture organized around young female modeling. Witnesses speak consistently of modeling pageants and parties where young women and girls were forced into predatory situations and routinely taken advantage of, abused, and raped. They give similar accounts of the competitive and sinister relationship between Epstein and Trump and how it was channeled into their shared pursuit of young women.

I know that paper well and I even like the authors. But the evidence that it adduces does not support its conclusions. Among (many) other things, it counts only projects that are proposed, ignoring all the projects that are never proposed. @JaneAFlegal is right on this one.
So who are you going to trust? A research paper written by professors at UT Austin and Harvard? Or an informal “survey” in a report written by the very lobbyists pushing for BAAJA and fast data-center construction? 🤔

I never would have predicted the best statement congratulating Lula on his reelection would come from Colombia's right-wing populist president, but this is on point and excellent.
En la campaña presidencial colombiana, el presidente Lula apoyó abiertamente a Iván Cepeda y gané yo. En la campaña brasileña, apoyé a Bolsonaro y ganó Lula. Ni Lula decide por los colombianos ni yo decido por los brasileños. ¡DECIDE LA GENTE! Y cuando el pueblo se pronuncia en las urnas, su voluntad se respeta porque es sagrada. ¡En eso consiste la democracia! El presidente Lula y yo tenemos grandes y profundas diferencias políticas e ideológicas, pero coincidimos en algo fundamental: Brasil y Colombia se necesitan mutuamente. Ninguna consideración puede estar por encima de los intereses de nuestras naciones. Colombia y Brasil son países hermanos, con enormes desafíos y oportunidades compartidas. Tenemos mucho por hacer y trabajar en beneficio de nuestros pueblos. El respeto mutuo, la soberanía y la cooperación deben marcar nuestras relaciones, así como la lucha contra el narcoterrorismo y la minería ilegal, la protección de la Amazonía y el bienestar de nuestros ciudadanos. ¡Firme por la Patria! ¡Que viva Cristo Rey! (A.D.L.E) 🇨🇴 🐅

Yesterday Trump repeatedly called Abdul El-Sayed a "jihadist", told Nicki Minaj she had a "beautiful ass" and asked her to stand up so the crowd could admire it, and yet the dumbest people on Twitter are still pretending to be offended by a mention of the Cheesecake Factory.

Cheesecake Factory populism is so weird to me because the rise of chain restaurants created over-the-top, replicable dining experiences, which eventually put the final squeeze on mom-and-pop restaurants, such as the US version of trattorias. I would argue those family-owned neighborhood businesses made the dining experience feel more special and pulled communities together. The shift to chain restaurants homogenized American life and concentrated corporate power. Strange to frame corporate consolidation as "populism."
