well I have to assume they simply stopped doing that afterwards

I want to reiterate that this shit is nuts. A federal invasion of state-run elections, an intelligence community invasion of federal law enforcement, a White House invasion of a criminal investigation, and a president’s insane treasonable sore loser obsession all rolled up and muddled together.

JUST IN: Federal prosecutors in Chicago move to dismiss charges against another defendant tied to Operation Midway Blitz. Erik Meier faced trial 3/9 for resisting a federal officer. Once the motion is granted, he will be the 16th of 32 known defendants cleared. No known convictions.

All of this bullshit has forced me to reckon with not only knowing a ton of attorneys but learning that so many of them are good people doing immensely moral work in this moment. This is so fucked up.

It’s really weird for some corners of the media to do a whole “the Epstein files are a moral panic that has gone too far” thing when no one has faced any sort of punishment and doesn’t sound like they’re going to.

🤔 It’s definitely not suspicious at all to have people point out your common Twitter sign off is in the Epstein files and ten completely delete your yacht’s logs right?

today has been an amazing day for refreshing webpages

Incredible stuff happening at Spencer’s Gifts

What do you want me to do about this, man? There is no more pressing problem than armed, masked goons doing an ethnic cleansing. You are dropping your “more important” work to help them do it.

you may worry that this breathless headline from a guy who predicted the 2007 subprime mortgage collapse portends another broad-based market-driven recession but the "sickening scenario" here is that crypto investors lose a fuckton of money and like, lol, lmao even finance.yahoo.com/news/big-sho...

it’s really not suspicious at all kyle wagner is wearing this shirt either. look at videos - the man is obsessed with playing for the cameras just like feds are. he was “on the run” yet couldn’t stop doing interviews. again, he calls himself “antifa kyle.” it’s branding. of course he’d put this on

This is Iraq War style propaganda: They make the face of a well-researched, (near) academic consensus, that isn't egregiously controversial among experts on the subject... and make the face of it a famous but uncredentialed young woman so they can pretend it's vacuous and naive.

The fellas remember Dan McQuade, on a new episode of The Distraction: defector.com/the-last-may...

“You the biggest problem with becoming friends with you? The life you lead is so outrageous, and yet I can’t tell a soul…”

The only response here is a motion to enjoin the whole operation If the government's position is "I'm sorry your honor but we don't be the capacity to both respect constitutional rights and conduct the operation as it is currently being conducted" the answer is "then you must stop the operation"

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

Every single person involved will have to be imprisoned for life. There is no other way.

Seeing a lot of people "resigning" after being discovered to be pen pals with Epstein and not a lot of people "shooting themselves in the mouth" or "being drawn and quartered"

WE GOT A LAMBO!!! #WorldBollardAssociation

I swear it gets more embarrassing every time he appears

They’d have to pay me.

Oh look, exactly what we said was going to happen when Schumer caved on the shutdown

Reminder that basically every time a state where child marriage is legal tries to change that, one party reliably steps in to make sure they get to keep marrying children, and it’s not Democrats

[sweaty, 90 minutes into a speech talking about how Big And Strong Raul Mondesi was] we like to say SASAKI, right? SASASKI, where is-SASASKI-where is he? [pointing at Yamamoto] there he- [pretends to throw fastball] lot of speed with regard to fast

A bizarre number of people have stepped up to defend Julie Le. What you see in that transcript is an attorney who chose to do evil work—deporting people for ICE then moving over to DOJ in early Jan. specifically to fight these habeas petitions—being called to the carpet. She's desperate, not heroic.

Hi, I’m David and I’m an extremely normal guy. Nothing I do is weird. Everything I do is totally normal. Just your good buddy David counting children’s footprints

The two children who returned to MN today say they saw one of their Valley View schoolmates at a detention center in TX. This is a child whose family was last in contact with the school on January 9. No one has known where they were until now.

If enough of us say that Aaron Rodgers married a chatbot do you think he'll feel forced to do a wife reveal? Of his chatbot wife, I mean.

so why do senate dems keep confirming them

I think Battlefield 1942 should be the newest online game anyone is allowed to play.

"sir, i know you were first motivated to get into politics because you hated those uppity youngins with long hair during the carter administration but you need to go on Clavicular's podcast to talk about how football isn't based anymore"

it must be annoying to be a 90 year old Republican congressman and have to pretend like you know what's going on anymore. you got into politics to pass laws giving out tax breaks for every horse you own but your groyper staffers are like "you need to condemn a new YA novel about bottom surgery"

*paul freezy being dragged down the street by an angry mob, white knuckle gripping his cat ears* uhhh uppies?? are we doing uppies?? are we going to the place for uppies??

all I'm saying is if im a hockey player trying to raise my profile at this Olympics im finding another hockey player to pork the hell out of me

god. i wish i knew what jelly roll's politics were! i guess i will simply have to wait several days to find out.

oh fuck this gonna be extremely transphobic isn’t it

oh that’s why she lost

"let me play devil's advocate for a moment" says horrible guy about to give you his actual opinion

they don't have enough guys, and if the response in Minnesota shows anything it is that trying something like this is going to drive a much larger backlash than anything they hope to gain out of it "oh well I guess we'll just stay home" is not how this is going to go

I'm piecing evidence together

you don't say? at some point we're going to acknowledge what every study ever on this subject has said, right? right? www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years
