Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

Every single Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota (including Mike Lindell!) makes clear that if Trump tried another Operation Metro Surge in the Twin Cities, they would support his efforts to brutalize residents
It's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...
I know this story is a month old, but it needs to be widely known that the anti-Biden egg price panic was the result of egg companies colluding to increase prices, not because of chicken flu. The American business model is fraud. bsky.app/profile/luke...

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
TODD BLANCHE: Rest assured that we’re working hand in hand with HHS and the FDA and the White House and President Trump’s team to get permanent solutions so that the Dobbs decision becomes permanent in every single state.
Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "
WATCH: “Todd Blanche is committing a fraud on Congress. This document is a sham.” @SenBlumenthal warns the insurrectionist slush fund is NOT dead, and @SenThomTillis & @JohnCornyn are falling for another Trump/Blanche lie.

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

The country's foreign minister called Rubio's claims a "desperate attempt to justify the current genocide of the Cuban people through collective punishment."
Marco Rubio's Latest Claims About Cuba as Espionage 'Superpower' Decried as 'Completely Batshit Insane'
The Trump administration is escalating tensions with Cuba, accusing them of espionage and terrorism. But are these claims just a pretext for military aggression? Is Cuba really a threat to the US, or is this all just a dangerous game of political manipulation? #Cuba #USRelations

Art historian here: these look gaudy not just because they are gold, necessarily, they look gaudy because real gold leaf looks gaudy if you underpaint in gold or yellow. Artists know this so usually underpaint in red so the gold ‘looks’ rich and not gaudy.
