Ive pitched many. I have new info about the case, about his crimes, about who was involved. And about his death. No one has the courage.
What publisher will have the fortitude to stand behind a book about Epstein?

A 6th person in Pennsylvania has died from measles. Once again, I’m calling on Sec Kennedy to state unequivocally that the MMR vaccine is both safe and effective, and the only way to prevent a measles infection in an unvaccinated adult or child.
Breaking news: A 39-year-old woman from Franklin County, Pennsylvania, who had been diagnosed with measles has died, according to the local coroner’s office, marking the sixth such death reported since the state’s outbreak began this year. wapo.st/4ykZXlI

Heartbreak in Springfield, Ohio. Please read this important reporting. It all begins with big lies and it ends with ethnic cleansing and deaths for which we must not only mourn but feel ashamed.

Controversial opinion, but men have not managed to top Michael Hutchence and probably never will.

The reception to Nikole Hannah-Jones shows how many have lost the faculty to process ideas through any filter but “Do I agree?”
Others like “What is this telling me that I didn’t know”?, “How have I been in this situation?”, “What would it feel like?” are absent.

It only now shamefully occurs to me — after spending a lot of time talking to the Macs on this anniversary — that I should’ve asked yesterday if anyone out there knew Bobby and has any new stories to tell. I’d love to relate them.
Bobby McIlvaine was 26 when he died in the September 11 attacks. In 2021, @JenSeniorNY wrote about grief, conspiracy theories, and one family’s search for meaning in the decades since 9/11. Revisit the Pulitzer Prize–winning story: theatln.tc/M5hM8CcK theatlantic.com/magazine/arc…

Anyone who cares about open government should care deeply about this.
Interior Dept employees are reportedly “routinely” shredding documents and sending disappearing messages, and officials are “terrified of written records.”
We launched an investigation and sent letters demanding DOI follow preservation requirements.

The Irish singer, songwriter, and folk-music hero Glen Hansard died on Wednesday, in a motorcycle accident, at the age of 56. “What I loved about seeing Glen Hansard live,” Hanif Abdurraqib writes, “was that he, spiritually, never stopped being the guy playing on a rainy street, trying to capture the attention of people walking by.” This took rigor and care, Abdurraqib argues, and a willingness to insist on the power of the stage as a communal space. Read Abdurraqib’s reflection on the urgent intimacy of a singer with a voice so loud it could fill a room—but so powerful it could draw you in with just a whisper: newyorker.com/news/postscrip…

Sometimes I would wonder if Glen Hansard really existed….
Seriously, he was such an angelic presence… not otherworldly…in fact, very present this presence…
A smiling rascal if you needed him to be… this most musical and mischievous archangel of Ballymun… no airs, plenty of graces...
Of course, Glen was the shining star of the Christmas Eve busk… sometimes the only one reminding the rest of us that Christmas began with a refugee born in a manger, which is hardly a step from living on the street.
To be utterly yourself by being more interested in others - a clue for any of us trying out different personas. He really was who you thought he was. He could never walk by a person living rough without checking they were OK… and more than that, he worked very hard so that less people had to live on the streets in the first place.
When the crowds got bigger and for safety’s sake Glen had to agree to move the busk to a stage kindly provided outside The Gaiety Theatre, he would say 'we’ll give it our best but it’s not a busk if we’re not on the street!’ …because that’s who he was - a performer at eye level in any situation. The stage was a separation he wouldn’t recognize. Of all the grand and gigantic venues he and The Frames played, you sensed the street was his most favoured place to perform. And street people, his favourite audience.
Voice of the streets. A choir of angels in one man. The rest of us blessed to stand there beside our very own and very earthed Angel Gabriel… All of us welcome in his choir, whatever shape or form.
….and I’m telling myself this morning that if he never existed, then he can never cease to exist. For me, he will always be everywhere I see a coin spinning into an open guitar case.
May you rest in the peace you gave to so many.

Catherine Herridge spoke tonight at the National Press Club about her current legal situation and discussed the impact on her family.
Herridge: "In 2024, when I was held in contempt, our teenage son asked me whether we would lose our house and savings — and whether I would go to jail. I wanted to tell him that in the United States, where we claim to value a free press and the First Amendment, such an outcome was impossible. But I could not offer him that assurance."
