NEW: Epstein secretly invested millions in an Israeli AI company that surveils 911 calls. We investigated Epstein’s emails and his billionaire network. From Peter Thiel to Reid Hoffman to Leon Black, the Epstein class is still here, it's bipartisan, and it's extremely powerful.

This may be the single-most-overlooked email in the entire Epstein files trove. the.ink/p/the-most-ove…

Trump is demoting himself to Bibi’s VP. He claims to be all about leverage, but he is outsourcing American power and decision-making. He promised to stop waging dumb wars, to make people safer, to stop refugee flows, to contain costs. His war of whim will break those promises.

Now you’re posting here about me posting here. And now I’m posting here about you posting here about me posting here. This is how the billionaires win!

America’s oligarchs say we shouldn’t tax them more because it would cramp their thinking up ideas to benefit us all. So we have an interest in knowing what they actually spend their time thinking about. The Epstein files offer an answer. Chapter three: the.ink/p/rich-brain?r…

In the Epstein files photographs, women and girls are everywhere — that is, except during meals. My deep dive into what their literal absence from the table reveals about how these men operate. the.ink/p/never-eat-wi…

It takes a village to raise a child, the proverb says. What the Epstein files show that it takes a powerful network to abuse so many children. This is what Jeffrey Epstein found in a social super-elite that now rightly bears his name: the Epstein class. nytimes.com/2026/02/13/opi…

MAN IN THE MIRROR is my attempt to get to the heart of this complicated case and, ultimately, the heart of this American age. Coming 9/29/26. Pre-order here: penguinrandomhouse.com/books/747118/m…

Over the last few years, I followed a sprawling cast of characters connected to the case and the larger issues it raised. I spent time on the street with homeless folks, in City Hall with government officials, on a Marine Corps base with Daniel Penny's old unit, at subway stations with outreach workers — in every corner of a city facing the interwoven challenges of making people feel safe, caring for the most vulnerable, and grappling with impossible questions about mental illness and individual freedom.

🚨 An announcement of my next book, MAN IN THE MIRROR, about a tragic encounter in a New York subway car that held up a mirror to a troubled and divided nation. It will be out September 29. 🚨 Pre-order here: penguinrandomhouse.com/books/747118/m…

The recently released trove of Jeffrey Epstein's emails show that the powerful people around the sexual predator had no problem ignoring his crimes as long as it benefited them, says journalist @AnandWrites. democracynow.org/2025/11/25/ana…

@ischafer Yup, that was the reference!

Say what you will about Jeffrey Epstein, but he chose his friends well: a power elite he could trust to look away at his crimes because they had spent a generation looking away at so much other abuse and suffering, often pain that they had helped to cause.

I mean, fair

The clubby deal-making and moral racketeering of the Epstein class is now the United States’ governing philosophy. nytimes.com/2025/11/23/opi…
