I think I know what prompted these specific researches to research this specific topic.

Justin Sun stayed off of US soil while the SEC was after him, but $90 million of Trump coins later, he’s doing business with the presidential family.

white supremacists and capitalists got so mad at one 18 month stretch of increased labor power that they've agreed to reverse the most complex economy in human history to an agrarian state

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. Read the Big Take ⬇️

/5 Of course, the case isn’t being brought with an expectation of winning. It’s illegitimately brought to punish an enemy by a dishonest totalitarian regime. The process is the punishment.

Since South Park is real life now, you can bet on The Donald's chances of winning the Nobel peace prize on the Right Side Broadcasting Network's live stream of the executive orders / expected TikTok deal announcement.

Unimpeachable, I'm sure.

3/ Tech fascism in a nutshell: “Computers are so much more rule-based, controllable, fixable, and comprehensible than any human will ever be. As many political schools of thought do, these technolibertarians make a philosophy out of a personality defect.“ She wrote this in 2000!

And, keep in mind, while this is about foreign aid funding — likely intentionally so, b/c the Trump folks think people won't care about it — it's also not about foreign aid funding b/c this is at the Supreme Court. Siding with Trump here opens the door for the Trump admin to do this with anything.

Since Sept. 9, Roberts has been letting Trump run out the clock on congressionally-required spending through an "administrative" stay blocking a district court injunction on the shadow docket while Roberts and SCOTUS are considering DOJ's (extremely weak) "pocket rescission" arguments.

Following new reporting, I'm launching a new line of investigation to determine the extent of JPMorgan's compliance failures, the role of top execs in the decision to keep Epstein as a client until 2013, and the degree to which the bank enabled Epstein’s sex trafficking.

Trump is absolutely cratering in new Quinnipiac poll: Overall approval: 38-54 Approval on economy: 39-56 Approval on trade: 39-54 On National Guard into cities: 42-55 On immigration, his "best" issue: 41-55 Trump is weak, unpopular, and failing. Treat him that way:

From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: The Trump administration says it will work to keep Israel from being banned from the 2026 men’s World Cup. The UN on Tuesday called for the suspension of Israel from international competition due to an “unfolding genocide” in Gaza.

BREAKING: Microsoft has blocked the Israeli military from some cloud and AI services. The block comes after The Guardian revealed last month that Microsoft’s services were being used for mass surveillance of Palestinians. Full details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/785733/...

Trump is not invincible. He can be defeated. When people show spine and stand up to him, when civil society bands together rather than capitulating, he often backs down. Our real problem is the appeasers. @monacharen.bsky.social is good on this. Our exchange: newrepublic.com/article/2009...

Tada!

Coming up on 20 years of plaintiff's litigation and I can assure everyone: A "mistake" which just so happens to be profitable for a company is always the intended outcome of the company's choices.

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered the University of South Dakota to reinstate a professor who posted criticism of Charlie Kirk on his Facebook page the day of the shooting, finding the action likely violated the First Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

UCLA’s funds reinstated after yesterday’s court order! Thanks to the brave researchers and their amazing counsel, including Dean Chemerinsky, who brought suit. This is just another turn in the ongoing fight, but a great result for now.

"Despite being behind bars for several weeks, none of the defendants have been formally indicted" Apparently only 1 fired a weapon

Friday: a prosecutor is forced to resign bc he concludes there's not enough evidence to go after Trump's perceived enemies Saturday: Trump makes public post asking Attorney General why she hasn't gone after his enemies Wednesday: DOJ says enemy indictment coming right up sir do I have that right?

Chotiner: and then you didn't send him to jail, and he ran again? USA: I mean yes but we do have pretty robust institutions, you know, the supreme court and so on Chotiner: I see. So they were able to stop the worst of it? USA: Well now it um the thing you have to understand

BREAKING: Judge overseeing DOJ's prosecution of Luigi Mangione orders DOJ to explain by Oct. 3, via sworn declaration, why prejudicial statements continued to be made about him by DOJ officials, contrary to rule/order. Judge Garnett warns that sanctions could follow if there are future violations.

Its fundamentally dishonest to write the piece implying or suggesting they are equivalent, because they are not

Wow, I'm shocked to see that the $16 million extortion payment that ABC made at the end of last year wasn't the end of it. Literally no one expected Trump to come back asking for more in the near future, yet here he is.

We don't want to anger Charlie Kirk's fans, who this show is in no way about

The federal government has censored the work of dozens of scientists, including work by my lab, on the impacts of climate change on Acadia National Park. Signs have been removed from Cadillac and Great Meadow. They’re also removing signs about the Wabanaki’s sacred connections to Cadillac.

They were supposed to make a (white supremacist) hunting show and made a (white supremacist hunting) show instead. Easy mistake to make!

They were just trying to reach me regarding my vehicle's extended warranty.

I'm pretty sure it's impolite, perhaps even offensive, to observe this.

I was told foreign aid is bad

Feels like a gamble

"We have to cover this as our lead story because the president said it," your media says, very independently

Wow what a totally expected and foreseeable result of deporting tons of workers and raising prices on everything through punitive and arbitrary tariffs.

John Yoo returns to the scene to explain that his elaborate legal pretenses for war crimes came from the Champagne region of France.

Trump doesn't actually know this, but he's currently celebrating the various violations of the UN charter that his administration has undertaken

Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are asking Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for answers after more than a dozen people died in immigration detention, as the department rushes to expand.

It is pretty funny that it only took several decades and being sued for billions of dollars over nothing for them to go “ok we will write one accurate headline”

The Supreme Court could say the president’s allegedly illegal actions must be put on hold while the Court reviews it. Instead, they repeatedly say Trump’s abuses must be allowed to go forward while in dispute. That’s entirely a choice. There’s no basis in law. Made the opposite call with Biden.
