No gods. No masters. No podcasters.

The full brief is remarkable. While the U.S. Attorney attempts to downplay the misconduct, he admits to discussing the incident with Main Justice as early as Sept. 27 and having the Oct. 9 grand jury transcript as early Oct. 14. The brief shows that the office repeatedly misled the Court.

New overnight: Chicago U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros’ office says the “Broadview Six” prosecutors have self-reported the events of the tainted prosecution to the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility as it argues against a special counsel. Full filing: cst.brightspotcdn.com/98/58/82c837...

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.

Boutros acknowledges 'mistakes' in 'Broadview 6' case but says sanctions, special counsel aren't needed

Chicago's top federal prosecutor noted in a court filing that his office has already dropped charges in the case, implemented “robust root-cause changes” and started the process of reviewing over 1,00...

my takeaway from AES winning is that he needs to drop anything people liked about him, campaign exactly as if haley stevens won and hate himself and his voters as much as her supporters do - The Politics Whiz

For years now, especially since Trump's first term, ballot measures reveal an awful lot about the voters in states a whole lot of people rush to the front of line to tell to fuck off The voters consistently reject GOP overreaches like this. What if Democrats learned something from that just one time

Republican power grabs in Kansas and Missouri are going down in flames with 18-25% of votes reported so far. Missouri's Amendment 4 aimed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments practically impossible. Kansas' Amendment 1 was designed to flip the state Supreme Court to ban abortion

Dan Goldman is having an argument with Ro Khanna. Goldman is alluding to why he lost his primary, but isn’t saying it directly.

Daniel Goldman t @danielsgoldman

“This is wrong @RoKhanna. All three of us who lost in NYC had very progressive records (including supporting Medicare for All) and we all had the overwhelming support of actual working families - labor unions, public housing residents and immigrant communities. That's because we all have gone to battle for those communities and offered practical and meaningful solutions that could actually get passed in a system that requires bipartisanship.”

“Dan, losing is hard. I lost twice.

I lost to Tom Lantos when I ran the first anti-Iraq war primary in the nation in 2003. I was disappointed | got 19% to Lantos's 71% even though the district was overwhelmingly opposed to the war. Lantos said "young man unless you're a movie star you can't just get up and run. You need to do far more work in the community." It's a lesson I internalized.

Then I lost to Mike Honda in 2014. I had glowing NYT profiles & tech leaders endorsing me. Honda had the PTA moms. He said to me after the race, Ro there are far more PTA moms in the district than tech leaders. A lesson I have never forgotten, especially as I took heat supporting a California billionaire tax.

My point is why not reflect on the lesson voters were sending upset about AIPAC, about money going to foreign wars, about food and gas prices up because of Middle East conflicts.

You have a long career ahead of you. We need everyone on the playing field. Maybe the loss will make you a voice calling for an end to the occupation or a Palestinian state. You could help make a difference.

And what happened to you in not being served coffee was disgusting and wrong and I had called it out on CNN when it happened. I hope you'll think about what voters were saying and help be part of a new generation that helps bring about a just peace.”Daniel Goldman • @danielsgoldman

“Thank you Ro. I know why I lost. And it's not because of the economic concerns of working families (which was the centerpiece of my campaign, in addition to being uniquely qualified and situated to hold Donald Trump accountable). Nor is it because of the war in Iran, which I aggressively opposed from its beginning.

I put forward a tax policy that would stop billionaires from using a massive tax avoidance loophole and would generate $30bn in revenue per year — more than enough to pay for universal childcare, which is one of the pillars of the Dad's caucus I co-founded in 2023.

As you well know, Republicans are adamantly opposed to raising taxes, but despite that, l've gotten very positive feedback from many of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle. As you also well know, there is no way to pass any of our legislative priorities next term unless we get some Republican support.

And I know you know this since you were the very first Democrat to co-sponsor my bill, which I appreciate.

The voters in my district prioritized a different issue, and I respect their decision. But let's not pretend that the outcome of my race — or Adriano's or NY-7 — was because of economic concerns of working families struggling mightily to make ends meet.”
