Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

Trump flogs a book by “the highly respected Alan Dershowitz.” Maybe he says it that way so we’ll think it’s a different Alan Dershowitz from the one who was a lawyer for sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and admitted getting a massage at Epstein’s house but insisted, “I kept my underwear on.”

Truth Social’s new subscription service is unprecedented—and the existing laws may not have caught up to it yet, @willgottsegen.com reports in The Atlantic Daily:

Blanche can only afford one more no vote. Senator Cassidy, you showed spine and voted to convict Trump for inciting insurrection. Trump ended your career for it. You said you have no regrets, rather defend the Constitution. Confirming Blanche, means the sacrifice you already made was for nothing.

Now mixing in paid advertisements into his normal corruption.

Changed my name from Mueller, She Wrote to my actual name, Allison Gill. Hoping I can get my blue check back. @joshpetri.bsky.team can you help?

Good framing.

Mitch McConnell’s communications director’s silence and smirk speak volumes. If he were fine, or even improving, she’d just say so. There’s no way this man is coming back.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

We’ve been saying this for a while now many of the people being targeted are just fishermen. Evidence now supports that the United States has killed individuals who were not involved in drug trafficking during its “counternarcotics interdiction operations” in the Caribbean and Pacific.

It looks like the most critical digital ID systems in Norway - which people use to access public services, health services, financial aid etc have been under a massive DDoS attack for the past 23ish hours. Likely state backed. Something to keep an eye on. www.aftenposten.no/norge/i/Okld...

We hounded a guy out of the 2024 presidential race because we were afraid of him becoming senile... And it wasn't this guy.

So why isn't Fox news televising interviews of all the happy people who live near data centers so we can hear what a treat it is to live with the constant noise, lights, increased utility costs and non-existent new jobs?

Trump's attacks on suspected drug boats are arguably crimes against humanity. The International Criminal Court likely has jurisdiction -- if they take place within the territory of a member set (Venezuela or Colombia) OR on a boat registered in it. warontherocks.com/internationa...

To make life easier and more affordable in this country, we must confront and fix what's wrong with our political system.

You have much more power than the people in charge of Washington want you to believe. 100 days from today comes the best chance we’ve had in a long time to use it. Let’s get to work.

Gerrymandering lets politicians choose their voters instead of the other way around. Until we end that, it will remain difficult to achieve the things most Americans already agree on.

Holy shit the abusive use that could be.... Prisoners think they are talking to their lawyers but AI was trained on their conversation and is now impersonating their lawyers. Or calls to family are intercepted by for profit jails and it's actually AI not wife or child psyop use AI unregulated

Epstein files aren't worth seeing or discussing, but Fauci's personal diary...? THERE's our new distraction. I'd listen to this remarkable woman.

The Fauci hearing was a disgrace. Here are some reminders of how it really went down in 2020. Never forget.

Jimmy Kimmel nailed another one. Enjoy.

Kander: Here's why they want to talk about Fauci so badly right now. The Epstein files, and another is they're just not doing very well politically, and this is something that can get their base charged up again. It's sort of like in a marriage that's failing, "Ah, you remember our honeymoon?"
