What happened with this videotape is just what you’d expect to happen if, say, a prison gang that knew the ins and outs of this facility, how to disable cameras and edit the tape, killed Epstein & covered it up. Just sayin’ https://t.co/1CxFRXAp9z

If illegal immigrants are counted in the jobs numbers, and hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are being deported or leaving, you’d expect jobs numbers to fall, no? Unemployment rate is low and roughly stable, jobs held by native-born keep rising. by more than 4X as much https://t.co/pY8RaunM7R

So the Epstein jet flights were all about sex when Trump was on them https://t.co/9d4OpTYfY3 but not about sex when anybody else was on them? Do I have that right?

They always SAY the checks are going to “hard-working Americans,” because that’s what’s popular. Biden said it. But often. like Biden, they send the checks to everyone, whether they work or not–eg a dole. You have to look at the details. https://t.co/0DqDbciOZG

Of course [speculating] even one big name enjoying one of Epstein’s girls would open up the possibility of blackmail, and for whom, and the Mossad theory, etc. Not clear Trump/Blanche want to do that. It would also make the DOJ “no further info” memo look as awful as it was. https://t.co/vtzMRrcSCE

Hawley wants tariff rebate checks-cash, about $600 per person & per kid-for “every working person.” Does this mean there’s a work test in his plan, or is it a straight cash dole, even to non-workers, with all the attendant bad cultural consequences?

This study didn’t even try to measure the (probably negative) effect of growing up in a *neighborhood* where lots of families rely on cash from the government. Would be hard to do that as a double-blind experiment (create 2 separate neighborhoods otherwise identical?) But https://t.co/eimR7jyh8b
