Exxon + Koch took turns leading the American Tort Reform Association, part of a strategy to immunize themselves from #climate lawsuits. (Also #opioids, #pesticides, #insurance, #socialmedia, car manufacturers, tobacco...any negligent industry facing legal accountability) Now Exxon has a guy at DOJ

AEI donor disclosure fail: Soros gives "slightly more than half of the foundation money to Bard College" ... AEI's data also shows Charles Koch's foundations giving 64% of GMU's funding. AEI gets many millions of dollars from Koch, where authors of this @insidehighered.com op-ed work.

Hey guys working in law enforcement, know who else have guides for identifying patches and other insignia? You do! For identifying gang members! Ergo... Sorry, smaller words... This means you too are gang members. You're in a gang. You are the bad guys. Allllll of you.

This is how Fox News attempts to Goebbels the Trump/Epstein news: crime & racist headlines up top, then Clinton/Epstein waaaaay below the fold. And then, a tiny podcast link at the very very bottom, obscured by the much larger "We Don't Deserve Trump." Exactly. Nobody deserves a pedo president.
Campaign group Everyone Hates Elon have installed a spoof tribute to Jeffrey Epstein from Donald Trump on a bench at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeen, Scotland. It comes after US lawmakers published an Epstein 'birthday book' with an alleged note from Trump.
This country’s fascist dictator needs to dethroned immediately. His sycophants and enablers need to be put in prison with him. ICE must be destroyed and its gestapo agents unmasked and jailed. Israel’s genocide must cease. Violence is the only language these sociopaths speak - a major concern.

The events following the 2016 protest are urgently relevant to our current political moment.
