Historic opioid settlements were supposed to be a lifeline for underserved communities. But much of that money is flowing to law enforcement.

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle. Now a local police investigation concludes that an ICE agent struck him with his SUV. The routine lying by ICE is the result of the example set by leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

A lot of dictatorships try to make these kind of arrangements when things go south. Important to remember there are other kinds of criminal, civil and reputational accountability pardons can’t touch. And if you’re pardoned you have no 5th amendment rights.
“Several conservative organizations …— including the Heritage Foundation and American Moment — have pressed White House counsel to either prepare pardons or put in place funding for the legal fees necessary to defend junior staffers from criminal and congressional probes or potential lawsuits.”

Nothing is a more convincing admission that you know your entire administration is corrupt than giving criminal pardons to EVERYONE.

“As we’ve seen with the Iran War, Trump is not psychologically capable of accepting defeat. The last time he suffered an electoral blow we got four years of election denial and the January 6 insurrection.”

A Venezuelan delivery driver was shot in Austin, and Rep. @repcasar.bsky.social isn’t mincing words: ICE is “a rogue federal force.” He and @mehdirhasan.bsky.social talk through whether reform is even possible at this point. zeteo.com/p/best-shot-...

I dug into Netanyahu’s decades-old writings & exclusive meetings with DC elites, and found how far he went to make himself the West's foremost "terror" expert — and thus steer America's endless War on Terror. It's a saga that touches everything from Mario Cuomo & H.W. Bush, to Reagan & Iran-Contra.

There have been several voter fraud cases in CO. They were always caught when the signatures didn't match. They were Republicans, one was even the chair of the CO GOP.
This is long. I hope you’ll read it anyway. I’ve brought the tea: claims of noncitizen voting, last minute pre-election charges; it’s the same tired playbook & it's failed before. They’re hoping you don't remember. But knowledge is power. Read here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-reoccu...

Haven’t seen as yet any Australian political reporters ask Albanese, Marles or Wong why Australia is all in with a defence alliance with a country supporting Russia
"Trump’s actual purpose was plainly not to increase US diesel supplies, or otherwise lower prices, but rather to make clear his intention to definitively change sides & become Russia’s wartime ally — & to undermine the sanctions regime against Russia the US worked so hard to implement over 5 years."

For the contract, data, and Michelle Pfieffer nerds out there, a 🧵. ICE plans to buy ERO ONE through OASIS+. OASIS+ is a GSA contract vehicle for professional services. GSA has already vetted a pool of companies. Agencies order work from that pool, and only companies in the pool can compete.
ICE is fast-tracking a $100 million domestic surveillance program to put 142 intelligence agents in more than two dozen cities and D.C. prospect.org?p=146221
