This is one good example of how appropriations hardball can work if you're willing to not blink first. Another: take your pick for demands and restrictions on funding Executive Office of the President. Yes, literally defund the White House. EOP is the central hub of the assault on the Constitution.
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.
Trump pushes gutter racism: "The guy in Michigan is pretty bad too -- Mohammed, as I call him ... if you have any question about somebody from that part of the world's name, just call him 'Mohammed,' you'll be right 64% of the time."
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:

Interesting that the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank behind Project 2025, is recognizing that anyone who actually follows their recommendations will need criminal pardons.
Wonder if they put that somewhere in the fine print.
The Ramaswamy campaign not only tried to capitalize on a child rape victim, they did it by using an old homeless woman who—while vile—is in no mental shape to adequately understand the stakes.
And did they pay her? Either answer is bad.
Donna Arthur — aka Amy Acton’s estranged mother, and the person whose testimony Vivek Ramaswamy devoutly trusts — has been living with her cats, in a car, in a church parking lot, having declined housing assistance.

NEW: GOP city councilwoman Shellie Flockhart called Iowa Dem House candidate Sarah Trone Garriott “dangerous” for kids in an attack ad. Flockhart pled guilty to driving drunk with her kids in the car in 2017. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
BREAKING: Duchess Meghan said she is "deeply distressed" as police investigate her dad Thomas Markle over alleged child sex abuse images
The statement came after The Sun newspaper reported on Thursday that police are investigating Thomas Markle over hundreds of child sex abuse images.
"Lord, we pray that you lift up this venal adulterer who constantly bears false witness so we might continue not to pay taxes and hate all the same people he hates in your holy name. Glory!"
Vivek Ramaswamy, Ken Paxton, Mike Collins, Roger Marshall, on and on - everywhere you look the most despicable humans financed by a handful of billionaires and elevated by Trump want you to give them even more political power to serve their interests at your expense.
Ramaswamy is a sick, morally bankrupt piece of shit exploiting a woman’s rape at age 12 to win an election. He gave her estranged, abusive mother a platform to weaponize her childhood trauma.
There is something profoundly fucking wrong with this man. He has no business holding public office. 🤬
JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday.
Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.
if you were wondering whether Alito's book is an embarrassing crock of shit, I can now officially answer your question with a resounding yes

The BBC subpoenaed Jack Smith for a deposition to defend itself against Trump's defamation lawsuit.

Elon Musk has said he will give every child in America a stake in SpaceX, his $2 trillion aerospace and artificial intelligence company, as tech firms face intensifying scrutiny over their impact on society. https://cnn.it/4yWTjTJ
if i take a walk in my little walkable neighborhood to buy fresh flowers and crunchy nectarines and my serenity is punctured by the sound of your tesla flipping in the air, i will blow up your car with a rocket launcher
Super PACs & dark money groups have spent $2B+ on this year's elections — the most ever for a midterm cycle.
That includes hundreds of millions in misleading ads from AIPAC, crypto, AI, and Elon Musk's political machine.
But organized people can still defeat organized money.
For anyone else, partying overseas with your mistress and a donor fleeing from the law would be a career ender. But this is Ken Paxton we are talking about. On the 5 point Paxton Corruption Scale, I deem this a 4. Impressive, but certainly not his best work.

Trump's DHS raids Rep. Omar's home because of paperwork filled out by her late father in 1995.
The Trumpists are desperate. But loyalists at powerful agencies of the executive branch will obey orders.
Desperation is dangerous.
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.
There was no accountability for DOGE so he is going to keep doing it. Dems should promise to minimize contracts with clearly partisan government contractors and to impose more regulatory scrutiny on Musk. At this point, nothing to lose.

I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...
Trump's plan to disrupt the election is already underway, with troops standing menacingly at a DC ballot drop box.
Under 18 U.S. Code § 592, it is illegal for armed troops to be "at any place where a general or special election is held," yet there they are.
HUD sent $WFC a letter "saying it would examine whether the bank violated fair lending laws by favoring Black or other minority homeowners, according to a copy viewed by The Wall Street Journal.

We’ve already got the voice of the middle of the road, Rahm Emmanuel, advising us to calm down, relax, let bygones be bygones, this impeachment talk is crazy, lets just make some new non-binding ethics rules, that’s the way forward.
Fuck that shit.
