I hope @benmckenzie.bsky.social makes a sequel to his great doc- and that it focuses on the truly bizarre/insane story of Microstrategy and Michael Saylor.
He's been saying this thing about how easy it is to walk over the Qatar-Iran border for many months now. Clearly no one around him is brave enough to correct him. That's pretty terrifying.
"Why elect a policy wonk … when you could send Congress a longtime Manhattan litigator and onetime Republican, plenty familiar with GOP hardball, who’s now playing for Team Democracy and the Democrats?"
My case for why more NY-12 Dems should consider an ex-GOP high-profile lawyer aiming to remove Trump and prevent future wannabe kings. What good is any policy success, by any Congress or president, if the next president can unilaterally, illegally, blow it all up? open.substack.com/pub/historyk...
Great thread on Marcia Lucas, the editor whose work was a key part of Star Wars, Return of the Jedi, Taxi Driver, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, & other classics of the New Hollywood era & thereafter.
If you live Manhattan, check to see if @gtconway.bsky.social is one of your candidates this cominf November AND THEN PLEASE VOTE FOR HIM. He needs to be in Congress so he can blow this sort of sh*t up. He'll have one mission: impeach, remove, investigate and expose the bastard.
CNN: The DOJ has launched a new criminal investigation into one of Trump's enemies, E. Jean Carroll. The source is telling CNN that the investigation now is focused on whether she committed perjury during her two civil lawsuits against the president.

RIP you absolute giant
I put everything about my career on the line and left the Republican party to stop Donald Trump and his MAGA sleazebags in Congress.
All I’m asking you for is $5 to get me to Congress so we can fight them together in the lion’s den.

Meanwhile, White House must be sending possible tweet draft texts to Sharif because it absolutely does not make sense Pakistanis referring to their own prime minister as Pakistan’s PM. (Screen shot from the first version of tweet which is still accessible)
"Conway struck [an] urgent tone: 'We are facing a president who does not care about the rule of law …. He has to go. We cannot last three more years of this. It’s either him or us. It’s America or Trump.”
By the time this is all over Donald Trump will look like this, according to the four most powerful AIs in the world (this post cost about 80 acres of Amazonian rainforest):
JD Vance: "I didn't say that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. That's absurd. What I did say is that when federal law enforcement officers violate the law that's typically something federal officials would look into. We don't want these guys to have kangaroo courts."
Remember that one of Trump’s justifications for attacking Venezuela was its appropriation of assets in 2007 from ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips. So much for that!

“I actually dreamed of it … It’s a remarkable work. The film stays with you. It just stays with you. It’s very moving. A remarkable feat. Grand opera”
