I’ve been reading a long time; I recall Josh wondering how to get some funds together to go and cover the NH primary. I’ve always thought the membership method of funding was the most durable, akin to the cultural ‘societies’ that spring up from sheer commitment and determination.
I don’t remember when the Soviets (IIRC) first accused us or the west generally as decadent but we’re sure at that point now and have arguably been such the national Democrats decided in the early 90s or so to make serving Big Business a priority. I mean, both major parties in a putatively democratic nation putting business interests before the good of the nation—if that’s not pure decadence…
As for the released emails: I’m assuming til proven otherwise that there is (or at least was) magnitudes more in the FBI stash.
Then again, little good can be expected in a decadent society…
That said, happy anniversary again to TPM, an invaluable outlet and one I’m willing and happy to pay for.
Re: Epstein files and WH "transparency"...disappointed to learn that the alleged K Leavitt remark about Epstein references to tRump actually was to *another* Donald Trump actually came from a UK satirical site, as USA Today has reported. Not to worry, though, because as things get even worse for "Dirty Donald", the "other" Donald Trump may indeed appear, given the flop-sweat desperation gripping the regime.
Trump & his corrupt enablers Bondi included will join with corrupt judges and Johnson and SCOTUS to keep files tied up for years. Just like every other case he has screamed is corrupt against him! Seems there is no way out of this nightmare! There is no honesty anymore. Question is are we headed to civil war or theocracy? I just want to get there faster!
Yay TPM! Congrats on 25 years of essential news journalism.
I read my first TPM blog post on December 12 2000 and have been a part of the community ever since.

I love TPM and MM, but
protest your use of the
words 'misbehavior' and
'misbehaving' in
reference to Epstein and
Trump, and possibly
anyone else m/f involved
in this sordid mess. They
are/were sexul predators
and abusers.

Not "another Donald Trump" please and begging 😁
