In other 2024 election news, Molly Jong-Fast [bemoans]( the media for not adequately covering the former president’s unhinged behavior. She writes, “In 2016, Trump rode the outrage news cycle to victory, and now, two elections later, his abhorrent views and wannabe dictator behavior barely make a blip on the media radar.” Plus, Bess Levin has [the latest]( on Trump supporters’ immense concern about the Jeffrey Epstein court documents.
