My current favorite interest is AI retro music 50s style, can’t get enough! Makes me so happy whenever I hear it :) Other interests are hiking and nature, Nordic Noir; all topics related to Judaism; e òc, de segur, l’occitan.

A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Wyden released a sweeping Senate report alleging several of the largest banks of having “been willing to turn a blind eye” to Epstein’s financial activity.

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 of the United States..."

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.

🚨 NEWS: In a new court filing, Capital One says Donald Trump’s accounts were closed in 2021 after months of analysis by its anti-money laundering (AML) professionals, not because of politics, as Trump has long claimed. 1/

NEW: Sen. Bernie Moreno has finally broken his silence, accusing Rep. Max Miller of being “a danger” to his daughter, saying he “needs serious psychological help,” and that he “should not serve in the House of Representatives.”

We musn’t normalize the fact that the tax immunity the convicted felon in the White House wants is absolutely unprecedented. There is simply no record of anyone ever receiving this kind of benefit. IRC § 7431 sets the possible damages. Full tax immunity is not there. Only a criminal would seek this.

Jeanine Pirro should be disbarred. It is absolutely indefensible and gross misconduct to rush through a criminal indictment for political reasons before an investigation has been completed, which resulted in false evidence being presented to a grand jury.

Major oil companies announce up to quadruple their expected profits this last quarter, citing the rising cost of oil from the Iran war. If their costs went up, how can their profits be through the roof, unless they’re simply using the war as a pretext to price gouge and shaft the public?

Just FYI, I’m no longer referring to T as “the president” or by his name. From now on, it’s “the convicted felon in the White House.” People need to remember that in the US we don’t let convicted felons own guns or vote, but they can otherwise run the whole freaking country!
