dude, you got yourself kicked out of two boarding schools, your Harvard application is rumored to have consisted of two words - "Harvard" and "Kennedy" -, your peers there say you were a dealer in college, your roommate reportedly wrote your senior thesis for you, and you failed the NY bar twice
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
Note, the MOST IMPORTANT change is that they swapped FBI agents (and added critical elements that were missing from the original affidavit). This is clean up, the obstruction charge is likely only the excuse to do that.
While you were sleeping: DOJ files superseding complaint, adds obstruction counts in case against former FBI agents Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides
Preliminary hearing set for today at 11 am.

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration asked Washington to set aside ballots from around 400 registered voters it claims may be noncitizens.
The alarming request comes amid the DOJ's legal effort to compel California to do the same to 20k voters.
There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters:
1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence
2. They want to the GOP to win
You really need to work hard to be the most obsequious member of Trump’s cabinet — by, for instance, eating lunch at Cheesecake Factory and alerting Fox Business, so they can interview you in defense of Obama’s joke about the White House decor. Well done Secretary Bessent! Your move, Doug Burgum!
It's kind of beating a dead horse at this point but the mantra of "We don't look backwards, we look forward." and Congress not asserting its sole right to declare war kinda logically concludes with it losing the Power of the Purse. But having it stolen by a criminal is a handy excuse.
This chart is insane. This shows Russia's casualties over time compared to Russia's territorial gains in Ukraine over the last five years.
No sane or rational person would say continuing the war to try and take more of Ukraine's territory is worth the casualties.
We call for a full and immediate withdrawal of Russian forces, a return to pre-2014 borders, changes to the Russian constitution to limit the military to 100,000 personnel, a constitutional guarantee to withdraw from the CSTO, and immediate presidential elections under UN monitoring to replace Putin
Ukraine must hold maximalist demands and avoid Russia’s classic trap: making outrageous demands while refusing to compromise, forcing the other side to make concessions and give Russia more than it deserves. Russia doesn’t deserve to get anything
👁️🗨️ The House Judiciary Committee Democrats have released a report containing testimony from 11 women regarding allegations of sexual assault, including a new rape allegation, against King Trump in relation to Jeffrey Epstein that the lawmakers say has been deliberately covered up by the DOJ.
House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein.
The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.
While Trump is cosplaying in the Muddle East and causing chaos for market manipulation and cash, he has effectively made Iran more powerful since they are now allying with Turkey, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia

So for the record, Iran is also receiving military assistance from Russia and China.
And they still have Hormuz
Trump seems incapable of doing more than market manipulation for immediate gain, but there are real long term consequences here. We *had* relationships with Pak, SA and Turkey.

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."
“At a moment when many doubted Lula could reverse the result, a WhatsApp channel called Lula's Army emerged, and rapidly grew to 10.8 million followers. Led by Congressman André Janones, the operation encouraged supporters to share videos, promote hashtags and recruit new voters.” 1/
Trump admin arrests Colorado priest.
Incarcerates him for over a year.
Judge orders him released without charges.
They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out.
He's now being tested for latent TB:

It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.
Brazil was of two huge election results today—alongside the defeat of the nationalist, authoritarian leader of Serbia:
"the slate of candidates selected by protesting students had won at least 135 seats in Serbia’s 250-member legislature"

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called.
An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.
Welker: "El-Sayed has denounced the Muslim Brotherhood."
Mike Rogers: "No, he has not."
Welker: "He did in an interview with me."
Rogers: "I get you guys want to defend this guy, but I think it's unbelievable you would not hold him accountable for his beliefs."
BREAKING: Lula calls for arrests of Mayors, who shut off bus service on election day in key Brazilian strongholds.
Voting has been extended two hours till 7 PM

Norway: "I didn't get the Nobel Prize so I don't want anybody from Norway. I don't want anything to do with Norway…Frankly, Norway sucks. Norway has become a shithouse country, actually."
No, they were middle-aged men wearing powdered wigs, elaborately embroidered hostess jackets, silk hose, and shoes with enormous buckles and substantial heels.
In other words, our Constitution was written and signed by drag queens.
The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.
Trump is smearing Ilhan Omar in speeches all over the country now because he is an Islamophobic bigot and he thinks that’s a winning message for Republicans
