My assumption is the 4 co-conspirators she wants to out are just the 4 assistants, Sarah Kellen, Nadia Marcinkova, Leslie Groff, and Adriana Ross.And the 25 men she’s ready to name?

Ellie, a Substack writer and self-described “railroad family mom,” has quickly become one of the most indispensable voices tracking everything from Project 2025 to the Epstein–J.P. Morgan document dump, translating corporate legalese into something the rest of us can actually understand.I told her on air that “transcriptionist” doesn’t quite capture it — she’s doing real investigative journalism, the kind Substack desperately needs.

The UnapologeticsProject 2025 rears its ugly headIt’s time to dive back into Project 2025 as we see some of the more blaring aspects of new authoritarian rule taking shape. One of the biggest blueprints is erasing dissent. Most chapters of Project 2025 discuss the idea of all federal employees “aligning their values with the new administration,” and firing those who hint at any kind of opposition, big or small. Nothing is objective. Nothing is bipartisan, no matter the department. But also, the Heritage Foundation made plans to “tighten the ranks,” as it were, in media—first in public media (pulling all funding from PBS), and then cre...

But also I wanted to talk about how I am able to read, listen to, and write about some of the darkest parts of the Jeffrey Epstein story, and still fall asleep at night.Compartmentalization is the name of the game, but also something I’ve (sort of) fine-tuned after years of working on court cases and documentaries that deal with much the same subject matter.Thank you K K, Annie Scherer, and many others for tu...

The UnapologeticsEpstein's Little Black Book (the whole damn thing)A little breakdown about what to expect from me in the next few days and weeks as I digitize and research the entire (unredacted) Epstein Black Book (which is publicly available online). I emphasize this is a work in progress. If you don’t see a name you expected, it means I haven’t gotten there yet. This is 95 pages of names, nicknames, misspellings, phone numbers, addresses, beepers, domains, you name it, and it’ll take me a minute to dig through and verify names. So keep checking in for updates.I’m posting as I go bec...

The UnapologeticsMajor Legal Error in Maxwell InterviewsI’m re-transcribing the Maxwell interviews from July 24/25, looking for things “Magna Legal Services” missed, and it’s quite a bit. But I came across a major slip-up that has legal ramifications, and I need to know what we do next because a victim has now been put at risk. Aaron Parnas or Lev Parnas or Michael Cohen or Rick Wilson, anyone with a legal mind, is this classified? It’s certainly attorney-client privilege, and this child-Jane Doe never came forward with her name publicly. I’m angry and horrified, but also want to see what needs to be done as a re...

And of course what links them all together: Epstein, Epstein, Epstein.

The UnapologeticsWhen things look bleak, take hopeAs Donald Trump prepares to militarize and forcibly remove poverty and dissent from Washington DC, we need to take a step back and remember the parallels of history. 249 years ago King George III erased checks and balances, kept the laws he liked, wrote a few new ones, rained down tariffs, and otherwise terrorized his people. And we created a new country because of it. So if you would be so kind, I wrote a little article about the history of this very situation, albeit a few years ago, and why we can take hope from something we...
