Reading the Epstein Files – The Bookkeeper Knew Everything
A recording from Ellie Leonard’s live video

Tonight’s Reading the Epstein Files introduced us to Maritza Vasquez — Jean-Luc Brunel’s bookkeeper — whose deposition puts Brunel and Epstein inside the same machine. This is the accountability journalism that doesn’t look away.
YOU WON AT CAPITALISM
Kyle Kulinski:
“Tax every penny in net worth somebody has over $999M at 100%. It’s a no billionaires tax, no trillionaires tax. We’ll send you a fucking plaque in the mail that says I won at capitalism. We already have Gilded Age level income and wealth inequality. I’m surprised people aren’t breaking out the motherfucking guillotines already”
ESSAY Bitcoin Well @bitcoinwell
The Senate just voted 89 to 10 to ban a government digital dollar until 2030. Bitcoiners are celebrating. Read the fine print first.
A central bank digital currency would let the Fed watch every payment you make and freeze the ones it does not like. Banning it is a real win. But look at who fills the gap. With no government coin coming, the dollar goes ‘digital’ anyway, just privately, through stablecoins like USDC and Tether. Same surveillance. Same freeze switch. Different logo.
A stablecoin issuer can blacklist your address and zero your balance to comply with an order, from an office, in minutes. Circle has done it. Tether has done it. The state never had to build the tool. The private market built it and handed over the controls.
So yes, no CBDC until 2030. But a digital dollar you cannot control is a digital dollar you cannot control, no matter what they name the coin.
There is exactly one money no congress can issue, no company can freeze, and no chair can inflate. You already hold the answer, or you don’t.
Pack the courts, implement fairness and professionalism.

One of my favorite lines in the complaint: “At a meeting of the Shoals Republican Club on August 3, 2019, Tuberville candidly conceded that he ‘has property’ in Alabama but is not an ‘everyday resident of Alabama,’ describing himself as a ‘carpetbagger.’”
New lawsuit just filed challenging Tommy Tuberville’s eligibility to run for Governor in Alabama because he’s a … Florida man.
Florida’s Supreme Court refused to suspend or disbar Kenneth Chesebro, a key architect of Trump’s fake electors plot.
Instead, it restored his ability to practice law and gave him a “public reprimand” — despite a blistering dissent.
It appears some state Supreme courts are in on the coup also.
I’m reminded of what Kevin Roberts (Heritage) said: “…the U.S. is in the process of a 2nd American Revolution that will “remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”
Kennedy Center: Judge orders Trump administration to explain by Friday its
BREAKING: Judge orders FBI to review and release thousands of records related to the Epstein Files.
Deputy White House budget director nominee Hal Duncan refuses to acknowledge that Biden won the 2020 election, but then moments later asserts that Trump won in 2024, prompting Tim Kaine to point out that he’s clearly “afraid of making an insecure president mad”
Jeffery Epstein’s butler was caught in an FBI sting in 2009 trying to sell the client & victim list.
He told them the entire operation, 17 years ago.
And the FBI did NOTHING.

Greenland is now asking Trump to invade, hoping to secure a deal similar to the one Iran got [joke]
84% of Americans, Bernie Sanders, and Thomas Massie agree. Don’t arm Israel unconditionally.
Also, don’t merge our military technology and supply chains with Israel’s… or any other country’s. I’ve submitted an amendment to strip section 224 (retitled section 219) from the NDAA.

When I head to Washington, I will be the first woman in Congress with a science PhD. That matters. At a time when science is under attack, Congress needs more leaders who understand the value of evidence-based decision-making.
Australian World Cup fans were caught chanting:
“Aussie boys are on a bender, Donald Trump is a sex offender.”
Markwayne Mullin had the FDA delete warnings about the dangers of kratom, an addictive and sometimes lethal drug found in gas stations.
Mullin holds an up to $1 million stake in a major kratom company.
The Justice Dept. is seeking to throw out a lawsuit against Elon Musk’s company, xAI, over the data center’s air pollution, saying it has the right to run polluting gas-burning turbines in Mississippi despite not having permits for them. NYT
ESSAY Pascal Bornet@pascal_bornet: HOW WE SPEND OUR TIME
WHAT ABOUT THAT 4 DAY WORK WEEK? WHAT ABOUT WORK FROM HOME?
’ . .
How we spend time (1990-2026):
1921 – radio arrives
1952 – TV takes over
1998 – internet goes mainstream
2007 – smartphone arrives
2010 – social media popularises
2018 – tiktok era begins
2019 – lockdowns ☣️
I watched this chart move decade by decade, and the part that stayed with me was not the rise of one technology.
It was the quiet disappearance of empty time.
Radio entered the home. Television absorbed the evening. The internet moved into the office. The smartphone moved into the pocket, and social media turned every spare minute into a small marketplace for attention.
I recognize myself in this more than I would like to admit.
The “quick check” that becomes 12 minutes. The useful tool that becomes another tab. The productivity app that somehow creates more work to manage.
Each technology promised to save time. Many also learned how to occupy it.
The scarce resource was never time. It was intentional attention.
So here is the uncomfortable question: when technology gives you back 30 minutes, do you actually keep it, or does another screen quietly take it?
What is one thing you want to take your time back from in 2026?
