Not surprisingly, one of the most joyful people on my TL shared this delightful piece. Thank you, @michelleym.bsky.social! Go follow her! www.thetimes.com/life-style/h...

My thoughts exactly. Why wouldn’t they have tried to destroy the incriminating evidence? Obstruction of justice means nothing to them.

I don’t know about using AI to build nuclear power plants. I have my doubts. But we shouldn’t build nuclear power plants to power AI. Too much risk for questionable benefits.

Reminder: Don’t watch @cbsnews.com

And don’t forget to wear an N95 respirator instead of a surgical mask.

Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

I was wondering that too. What if the plane caught on fire and had to make an emergency landing?

Agreed.

New York City billboards are displaying the president’s 91 felony charges.

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served. F that!

As investigators closed in, elite experts and professionals offered support and advice to Jeffrey Epstein. A cache of private emails obtained by Bloomberg News reveals details from his network.

Trump's DOT has officially scrapped a Biden-era rule requiring airlines to pay passengers cash compensation when flight disruptions are caused by airlines. Flying already sucks — and Trump wants to make it suck even more. https://youtu.be/eTzaMXXelew?si=OghvJOMzUq2ZeJrc

Leonard Leo is a lawyer, but he's never argued a case in court. He's never held elected office. But for years he rebuilt the American legal system, resulting in the Supreme Court's right-wing supermajority. By @andykroll.bsky.social (Published Oct. 2023)

So you opened an investigation into fake news?

Repost this everywhere you’re active on social media. Send to your friends and family who aren’t.

Prosecuted in Trump 1.0 Pardoned in Trump 2.0 A tale of two terms. @jeremykohler.bsky.social

😡😡

And then think of what a cornered psychopathic human being with the morals and instincts of a rat and control of over five thousand nuclear warheads would do.

Good idea. The signs will remind people that ICE kidnappings are happening near them. It’s kind of like rounding a sharp curve in your car and seeing six roadside shrines. Suddenly the danger becomes real.

“The suit alleges ‘life-threatening’ medical neglect, with the plaintiffs saying they have been denied cancer treatment, basic disability accommodations and regular insulin for diabetes.”

Pam Bondi has posted rants and videos saying that there’ll be no mercy for those who threaten federal agents. But she and her boss just pardoned a woman who threatened to shoot federal agents. Why did this Florida woman get a pass? She’s MAGA. Trump doesn’t care about federal agents. Never did.

And why does he button the top button of his polo shirt? Highly irregular.

Now I know why the MRI technicians flipped a coin as they backed me into the machine. They were trying to decide which part of the body to analyze. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

If so many Americans believe that the moon landing was faked, surely they can accept the possibility that the Trump assassination attempt was faked.

Isn’t a moron, by definition, imbecilic?

Whatever Trump is desperately covering up about Epstein, it’s clearly so bad that he thinks it could destroy him

Trump just told reporters on Air Force One that he hasn’t ruled out a pardon for Ghislane Maxwell

“Weaponizing the DOJ” takes on a whole new level when you order investigations in order to reopen it so it’s no longer closed and you can claim you can’t release information because it’s an “ongoing investigation”

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..." Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

This has a whole lot of “OJ looking for the real killer” energy

Chris Murphy: "I don't think anybody with ambition right now should be planning on running for president in 2028 because we might not have a free and fair election in 2028. We all have to be in the business of saving our democracy right now."

CDC flu data is back! I’m so happy I could cry. H3N2 is predominating, especially the new subclade K. This supports the emerging hypothesis that we will have a big flu season. More to come.

So remind me, why don’t we like Donald Trump?

He’s building his legacy.

Tesla's car biz (worth only $78 per share vs Tesla's current price of $402) is imploding. Overseas sales in Oct were -33%, the lowest start of Q4 sales on record. US EV sales at carmakers reporting monthly sales were -71% MoM & -49% YoY after Sept EV rush. open.substack.com/pub/bradmunc...

NPR reported this morning that, based on their review of the #Epstein emails released yesterday, Trump’s name appeared more than 1,000 times in the document— "I have met some very bad people, none as bad as #Trump. Not one decent cell in his body." - Jeffrey Epstein

When Big Oil companies claim to be partners in climate solutions, remember: they are lying. As the climate crisis intensifies, Chevron is once again "increasing investments in oil and gas exploration," Reuters reports. www.reuters.com/markets/comm...
