🧵STATEWIDE INVESTIGATION: Across Pennsylvania, thousands of children are unvaccinated against the measles, putting communities below the critical threshold of herd immunity — the level that experts say is needed to stem the spread of the disease.

Thank you so much to all who have sent such amazing kind words of support to me. This work is very challenging. I cant even put into words how much your support has meant — and how much it has helped to me to keep going. Thank you. Happy New Years and prayers to all of Epstein’s victims. Let’s make 2026 the year we get to the truth.

EPSTEIN'S DIRTY DOLLARS: US Sen. @RonWyden is now battling Treasury secretary Scott Bessent for the records that show JPMorgan was moving massive amounts of money overseas for Jeffrey Epstein -- money that was flagged by the bank's own internal fraud experts -- to pay Russian models and others during the height of Epstein's sex trafficking empire.

“The basic question here is whether a bunch of rich pedophiles and Epstein accomplices are going to face any consequences for their crimes, and Scott Bessent is doing his best to make sure they won’t," said @RonWyden

Second Epstein story by @nytimes that totally skips mentioning @MiamiHerald’s series — which is relevant here because Epstein, after my series ran in 2018, made at least two large $ transfers which led to a panic with the banks. They froze the accounts as a result. The Times is doing great work following Epstein’s money. But its omissions recognizing the Herald’s role in investigating his crimes — especially when relevant as in this case — is mind boggling. nytimes.com/2025/09/08/magaz…

TOXINS RUN WILD: While the White House pushes the coal industry to boost production, federal regulators are allowing mine owners to expose thousands of workers to lethal levels of coal dust -- far beyond the bounds of safety -- as deadly black lung cases surge across the country. w/@jrcloutier and @Wrschgn @MIL_Medill

FOLLOWING THE MONEY in the Epstein case: Many of the secrets of his sex trafficking empire remain buried in his estate in the US Virgin Islands -- the records off limits to the public. Millions of dollars in payments to co-conspirators and victims are still sealed in court, despite a push by journalists to review them. A lawyer pressing for @NewYorkTimes_es argues the “requirements for barring public access have not been satisfied.” virginislandsdailynews.com/n…

Alex Acosta and Epstein's criminal defense lawyer, Jay Lefkowitz, who struck the secret deal in 2007, both had professional ties to the law firm of Kirkland & Ellis. Acosta practiced with the firm before he was tapped as Miami's federal prosecutor and his counterpart remains a litigation partner with the firm.

Most criminals "don't have the wealth and power to arrange those kinds of deals,'' said former federal Judge Paul Cassell, who filed a brief in the Supreme Court in 2021 contesting the plea agreement between then prosecutor Alex Acosta and Epstein's criminal defense lawyer.
