Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

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.

We should never forget how the BBC has changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage and other rightwing extremists, while shutting out progressive voices.

And why is #r4today giving (yet again) such prominence to a hair-brained scheme that has little chance to ever be implemented? A GE is unlikely soon and the threat of Reform winning it is apparently receding. What is the justification for legitimising it?

If you're even a _tiny_ bit into security and privacy, pay attention to this one. A court filing in a case against cyberhacker Peter Stokes revealed Microsoft's GDID embedded in EVERY Win11 install provided the FBI the ability to trace his PC across VPNs(!!) & proxies(!!) across three countries.

Microsoft admits Windows 11 has a GDID tracker with no off switch, first documented publicly in an FBI hacker complaint

GDID is the persistent Windows ID that helped FBI trace a Scattered Spider hacker despite VPNs. Here's how it works and how to limit it.

Susan Collins voted for $70 billion in ICE funding just before an ICE agent gunned down a young immigrant father in Maine. Collins also voted against an amendment requiring bodycams. These votes will now be hung around her neck, Dems in the state tell me. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2133...

Trump Badly Screws Susan Collins as Maine ICE Death Takes Darker Turn

Collins cast some recent votes that can help likely Democratic challenger Troy Jackson tie her to Trump and to ICE. And there’s evidence that both liberals and moderates will listen.

Pete Hegseth is not a serious person. And Ossoff is devastatingly good at this. But who else wanted him to shout out, “Just answer the f*cking question”?

Trump hijacked Spain’s World Cup victory, forced himself into a private trophy lift photo, stole a shot he wasn’t supposed to be in and had the White House push it out as propaganda. Major news edited him out but Trump added himself back then proceeded to edit out the loudest boos in sport's history

Trump Intentionally Hijacked Spain’s World Cup Victory Celebration — Forced His Way Into Their Trophy Lift Photo, Stole a Shot He Wasn’t Supposed to Be In for the White House to Push Out as Propaganda

White House cuts out the boos. FIFA / News outlets cropped him out of photos. A furious Trump then used the stolen shot to pretend he was part of Spain’s triumph, and forced media to add him back in

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.
