Allison Gill: "I reached out to sources and was able to confirm that these videos were training people on how to flag [Epstein] documents containing Trump's name for review by the higher ups."

My sister's longtime dentist practice got bought out by a private equity-backed dental group four months ago. Same office. Same hygienists. Same chairs. Zero new equipment. Last week they sent the new fee schedule for anyone with insurance. A routine cleaning that used to run $120 is now billed at $310, with the group quietly dropping several insurance plans they used to accept. When patients asked why, the new regional manager gave a scripted line about "aligning with market standards." Private equity figured out the same trick everywhere. They're buying up the things you can't opt out of: dental, veterinary care, urgent care, hospice, because they know you can't just skip your kid's cavity or your dog's surgery. This isn't inflation. It's leveraged debt getting loaded onto places you have no choice but to keep paying.

My sister's local family-owned daycare center got acquired by a private equity group six months ago. Same building. Same teachers. Same 7 AM opening time. Zero upgrades to the playground or facilities. This morning, they sent out their new tuition schedule for the upcoming quarter. Monthly cost per child jumped from $1,250 to $2,400. When parents asked the new management why prices nearly doubled overnight, the director gave a polished corporate response about "market-rate alignment." Wall Street figured out a cheat code. They are quietly gobbling up non-discretionary life infrastructure, daycares, veterinary clinics, emergency medicine, and senior care….. because they know you can't just "cut back" on your kids or elderly parents. Young families aren't being priced out by inflation. They are being squeezed by leveraged buyouts on basic human survival.

The White House is coordinating with the Justice Department to hide its abortion agenda from voters until after they've voted in order to try to influence the results of the election.
SCOOP: The WH, led by Susies Wiles, has taken a heavy handed approach in directing AG Todd Blanche to slow walk any abortion matters ahead of the midterms - including in pending mifepristone litigation. Blanche/admin has told pro-life groups to wait until after election

Inflation numbers came out today, and the official story is that inflation went down. What the headline number doesn't tell you is that the government changed how inflation is calculated in the same release. A month ago, they said July inflation was 3.7%. Today, they recalculated July with the new formula and it dropped to 3.36%. If you measure August the same way as the months before it, inflation comes out around 3.8%, which means it went up. They didn't bring inflation down, they just changed how they calculate it. Bessent did something similar with CPI last month. You only modify the way you calculate if they numbers are that bad. They genuinely thought we wouldn't notice...

First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." Hegseth: "Today, at my direction, I'm establishing the Office of Religious Affairs." It's no accident that he used the word "establish" here. Hegseth is a full-throttle Christian nationalist who hates separation of church and state. He chips away at it all the time - through his monthly Christian church service at the Pentagon auditorium, his endless proselytizing, by removing religious minority faith codes from the Chaplaincy program, etc., etc. The road to Gilead is paved with dystopic crap like this.
Hegseth: "Today, at my direction, I'm establishing the Office of Religious Affairs. It will report straight to the top -- a direct line to the secretary ... as Psalm 33:12 extolls us, blessed is the nation in which God is the Lord"

Adam Kidan went to federal prison with Jack Abramoff and was ordered to repay $21.7 million. Trump pardoned him in July. His money turned up in eight Republican Senate campaigns. dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-…

MULTI-DAY #FLOOD EVENT LIKELY from the moisture plume of Hurricane Polo tonight through Wednesday across New Mexico and Colorado and also central Texas into Oklahoma. The Southern Plains mode is MUCH-NEEDED rainfall with severe drought conditions there, but with 5-8 inches of rainfall, flash flooding will be likely. This is a textbook fall El Nino rainmaker. We are watching this closely as the brown recluse infestation at Team Dominator headquarters may be flooded out. Thank you @PettusWX for these graphics
