Kennedy is a disease. He will kill many people. 😒
Speaking of Kennedy...

During his confirmation hearings before the Senate HELP Committee earlier this year, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was a soothing, solicitous presence. Don’t you worry about a thing, he breathed to those Republican senators skittish of his lengthy history of anti-vaccine crackpottery. I won’t make waves. I won’t cause a fuss. Why pick a fight with Donald Trump over little ol’ me?
Yesterday, Kennedy—long since confirmed and busily taking a torch to America’s public-health agencies—came to the Senate again. This time, he cut a different, far more arrogant figure.
I'm glad I'm not a Kennedy.

The NY Times - How JPMorgan Enabled the Crimes of Jeffrey Epstein (unlocked link)
A Times investigation found that America’s leading bank spent years supporting - and profiting from - the notorious sex offender, ignoring red flags, suspicious activity and concerned executives.
Sept. 8, 2025
Epstein had long been a treasured customer at JPMorgan. His accounts were brimming with more than $200 million. He generated millions of dollars in revenue for the bank, landing him atop an internal list of major money makers. He helped JPMorgan orchestrate an important acquisition. He introduced executives to men who would become lucrative clients, like the Google co-founder Sergey Brin, and to global leaders, like Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel. He helped executives troubleshoot crises and strategize about global opportunities.
But a growing group of employees worried that JPMorgan’s association with a man who had pleaded guilty to a sex crime - and was under federal investigation for human trafficking - could harm the bank’s reputation. ...
Three reporters, who started investigating Epstein more than six years ago, reviewed more than 13,000 of pages of legal and financial records for this article.

App built to report Kirk’s critics outs its own users
The platform, launched just days after Kirk’s assassination on September 10th, urged people to submit “intel” on teachers, medical professionals, business owners, and other public figures who allegedly promoted “political violence or discrimination.”
“We do not seek revenge or mob justice. Our goal is transparency – to ensure that individuals in positions of power cannot hide hateful words or actions from public scrutiny. They should NOT be harassed, threatened, or harmed in any way,” explains the website.
