Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

Australia voted for @australianlabor.bsky.social who promised a transparent anti-corruption commission. They then prevented investigation of corrupt politicians, blocked transparency, and want to end FOI. They also appointed a commissioner who indulged in undeclared conflicts of interest. #auspol

Padilla co-wrote a bill that would let the public sue a sitting president to recover money taken through corruption. Yes, a sitting president. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trumps-law...
