Far-right tech oligarchs have the most pathetic ideology. They hate minorities, except when they are coding for them. They want no taxes, no rules, and absolutely no democracy. There is no grand vision for society, just raw greed and a relentless pursuit of personal interests

I agree. Working on a new report on this right now. What happened in Atlanta today is significantly worse than it even appears on the surface. I daresay I no longer hold out much hope that this fall will be anything but utter—and scary—chaos. A free and fair election increasingly feels unthinkable.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

US media has decided to pretend that the Epstein-Nassar Letter Epstein sent just before he died merely had a "crude reference" to Trump. NO. It was a clear, unambiguous allegation by Epstein that Trump *regularly sexually assaulted* "young, nubile girls." Our media is BROKEN.

Q: Is the president prepared to bankrupt the BBC? LEAVITT: This is a leftist propaganda machine that unfortunately is subsidized by British taxpayers, and he thinks that's extremely unfortunate for the great people of the UK

Q: Given you answers about transparency, why are WH officials meeting with Boebert in an effort to get her to not sign the Epstein files petition? LEAVITT: Doesn't it show transparency that members of the Trump administration are willing to brief members of Congress?

Pritzker on Fox: "He's challenging the integrity of the next election by sending troops into our cities. It isn't about fighting crime. He said he's going after the worst of the worst. That's not what they're doing. They are literally after black and brown people because of the color of their skin."

The CFPB is one of the most staunch financial watchdogs for the American people. The agency has returned at least $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011. It's no longer protecting consumers now...BECAUSE THIS REGIME DOESN'T WANT IT TO!

TBH there is no way to design any system to counteract an executive declaring "I have all power and can exercise it arbitrarily" when a majority of the legislative and judicial branches responds with "that's right." Such a society is too primitive for modern governance and the rule of law.
