This is highly suggestive of a senior government officer on the take. “Hegseth reported at least $3.1mn in cash, retirement investments and bitcoin in his newly released 2025 annual financial disclosure. One bank account held more than $1mn, compared with a normal $15,001–$50,000 range for an

A young woman from Virginia was in the middle of a road trip when police pulled her over, because Flock flagged her vacation route as "suspicious." This is unacceptable — where we drive is none of the government's business.

I know there is so far to go. But before Weinstein, in America, a famous White man had never been convicted of the rape of an adult woman. Now several have. Something shifted. Not to where it needs to be, but in the right direction.
OK - now at sentencing of Alon, Oren and Tal Alexander; 11 victims to speak as US Attorney's Office is asking for life in prison for each. Inner City Press covered the trial (Hamptons Horror book: play.google.com/store/books/... ) and will live skeet, thread below

Um, what? The Middle East is the home of countries with really simple names: Iran, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Oman, Yemen. Is he confusing the Middle East with the Caucasus and Central Asia? The guy who went to Yale Law School knows the difference. He's just being a bigot.
JD Vance says of the Middle East that it's "a region of the world made up of countries whose name I couldn't even pronounce"

I BEEN SAYIN'!!! Glad someone finally noticed that Trump has a deeply personal hatred of the Kennedys.
Trump II as very specifically an effort to erase JFK seems like an underdiscussed angle. Bulldozed Jackie's rose garden, threatening to bulldoze the Kennedy Center, stripped the Kennedy blue off Air Force One, shuttered USAID, put JFK's animal torturing nephew in charge of reviving polio, now this

bluntly this is also what destroyed LBJ and led to the nixon landslide, yes vietnam also mattered and was probably #1, but the white working class was infuriated that black folks would also benefit from the great society programs

Wait til you see what the US markets do when Trump loses some of his power to direct favors to allies, slash taxes, allow mergers and stamp out investigations.
Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

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 President Trump in relation to Jeffrey Epstein that the lawmakers say has been deliberately covered up by the DOJ.
