A complete violation of the DoJ's own internal policies regarding political prosecutions and also a stand-alone Impeachable offense of the US Attorney General.

JUST IN: DOJ seems to suggest that no charging decision has been made in its "complex" investigation of Rep. Ilhan Omar, urging Judge Boasberg to keep the search warrant under seal until it is "fully executed. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

Google's Genie 4 world model: "Scene: A Victorian high tea. Character: A mouse in appropriate garb." "A porcupine walks by" "The mouse grows wings" "It flies" This is realtime & I can walk around freely. It is glitchy, but also impossibly advanced compared to where we were a couple years ago.

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

Take that, VP Vance.

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

This is a shot across the bow telling DOJ and DHS that things are going to be different after mid-terms whereupon they will once again become subject to normal oversight which will seem extreme because they have run soooo far off the ranch.

Around 175 House Dems just called on Trump's DOJ and DHS to end "weaponization of law enforcement" against Rep Ilhan Omar. The letter is signed by numerous ranking committee Dems, showing depth of support for Omar in leadership and signaling how Dem House will act. newrepublic.com/article/2171...

I guess people have different ideas about what "full-scale war" means. When the US invaded Iraq, it took the largest logistics operation in human history to move almost half a million men and all the machinations of war to Kuwait. Nothing remotely close to that has yet occurred.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 According to CNN, the United States is prepared to launch a full-scale war against Iran within 96 hours of an order from Donald Trump. The order could be issued shortly after the U.S. midterm elections conclude on November 3.

One benefit of holding leaders accountable for crimes is that if Flávio Bolsonaro tries to overturn this election, he knows exactly where he’d end up. In prison, next to his father.

10x more expensive to be in a hospital? Hunh.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Routine medical care is often being billed at the much more expensive rate for hospital care, instead of the lower cost for procedures in a doctor’s office. That can make bills 10 times costlier, research shows.

Trump will let the suit get dismissed, then complain it was the Judge's fault. But bringing this lawsuit was never about winning, it was about making himself the victim and harrassing the media outlet.
