Trump threatens new frivolous litigation, this time versus NYT, over Epstein reportage
Source: New York Times
“President Trump on Tuesday threatened to sue The New York Times for publishing articles related to a sexually suggestive note and drawing that was given to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and appears to have been signed by Mr. Trump. The note was released by Congress this week. Mr. Trump and his aides have denied that he was involved in the creation of the note …. The Times reported in an article on Monday that the signature on the Epstein note … closely resembled the signatures on personal notes that Mr. Trump wrote to New York City officials from 1987 through 2001. In a letter to The Times, a personal lawyer for Mr. Trump …. requested a retraction and apology from The Times. He also raised the prospect that Mr. Trump would file a $10 billion lawsuit against the news organization.” (09/11/25)

“Over the last 4+ years, we have heard the slogan ‘safe and effective’ ad nauseum in relation to vaccines — repeated by health agencies, media, and pharmaceutical companies. But what does ‘safe’ really mean?” (09/11/25)

War Against Venezuela Is No Answer

by Doug Bandow
“No doubt, Venezuelans deserve better government. For more than a quarter century they have suffered under left-populist strongmen, first Hugo Chavez and then his successor and current president, Nicolas Maduro. Model authoritarians, the latter destroyed democracy, ravaged the economy, impoverished Venezuelans, and drove millions of people abroad. Alas, U.S. policy toward Venezuela has been a complete failure.” (09/11/25)

“War Is Here”: The Far-Right Responds to Charlie Kirk Shooting With Calls for Violence
Source: Wired
by David Gilbert
“Minutes after right-wing activist Charlie Kirk was fatally shot while speaking at an event in Utah on Wednesday, far-right influencers and extremist communities lit up social media with calls for violence against the left. Kirk, the cofounder of the conservative youth organizing group Turning Point USA, was shot and killed while taking questions at a TPUSA event held at Utah Valley University. Law enforcement officials said late afternoon Wednesday that a ‘person of interest’ was in custody, but that individual was later released. No motive has yet been reported by authorities. Despite this, many far-right influencers and Republican officials immediately blamed the left for carrying out the shooting. In some extremist groups, members called for civil war and violent retribution.” (09/11/25)
