Bout damn time!REP. LARSON SAID: When you’re not able to uphold the Constitution, are careless with classified information, and treat our military like a video game while American troops are dying and civilians are being killed, you've lost the right to lecture ANYONE about patriotism or leadership.

Statement from Sen. Lindsey Graham’s office announces his death — “On the evening of Saturday, July 11, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham passed away from a brief and sudden illness. Senator Graham's family appreciates prayers at this time and asks for privacy during this incredibly difficult period."

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is not about the southern border. ICE is about normalizing paramilitary force on our streets. It cannot be reformed. It cannot be retrained. ICE must be abolished.

And it's especially fine not to respect presidents who disrespect their office, their oath of office, the Constitution and laws they swore to uphold, honor, decency, morality, truth, humanity, and everything we should be striving ourselves and teaching our children to respect.

Jonah Goldberg: This is pretty hard to square with everything he’s said about pretty much all the previous presidents — including when many of them were presidents. And the vast majority of people who applaud this are surely hypocrites too. It’s fine not to respect presidents. They work for us.

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

Really need people to stop saying that the Minnesota 15 are going to be fine, that their charges will be dropped like ours. That was four days before trial, was NOT supposed to happen, and only did because of persistent, diligent, and incredible work by our lawyers.

Grand jury testimony on Broadview 6 released today reinforces something I laid out last week: The prosecution was entirely focused on @katmabu.bsky.social. It started with her, implicated Cat Sharp bc Abughazelah had liked a post tagging her, and focused on Andre Martin bc he said he worked for her.

Update: Agent Hylton’s testimony on October 9 reinforces my point here, that this prosecution all arose out of targeting Abughazaleh.

First, the presentation of defendants started with her, and started from one of her posts about the incident.

Q. So let’s start with defendant — one of the defendants who is Katherine Marie Abughazaleh. And you’ll see the names when I do the indictment. Usually I put something up for you, but I have the videos so I don’t want to do that. So let’s go to — in searching the internet, did law enforcement find that an individual using the name Kat Abughazaleh —

It did not present the events that happened leading up to that confrontation, or the White House focus on her. It then implicated Cat Sharp — one of the defendants against whom DOJ dropped charges before the whole thing fell apart — based off Abughazaleh liking a video she appeared in.

Q. Let’s talk about Catherine Sharp. Did law enforcement find a similar video of the incident on the social media Instagram account of a third-party who I will refer to as Individual A?

A. Yes.

Q. Did Kat Abughazaleh indicate a like of the post the video on Individual A’s Instagram account?

Later in the presentation, Mecklenburg focused on Andre Martin by describing not that he had posted or spoken about the incident (as everyone else had), but that he worked for Abughazaleh.

Okay. I have two more for you. Andre Martin.

Did law enforcement find a social media page of an individual who posted that he worked for Kat Abughazaleh?

A. Yes.

Q. Was that individual named Andre Martin?

NEW: Records obtained by ProPublica detail at least a dozen SpaceX investors with addresses in mainland China, Hong Kong or Russia who acquired stakes in SpaceX years ago through a middleman firm in the U.S. called Tomales Bay Capital.

Before SpaceX IPO, Investors in China Secretly Acquired Stakes

One previously unreported SpaceX investor has ties to Chinese military contractors. The information was revealed only after ProPublica went to court to obtain it.

Warnock: Right before they passed that ugly bill that cut $1 trillion out of medicaid, the Speaker of the House joined with other legislators and said a prayer, and then they went and voted for that bill. I just want to know what was in that prayer.
