Ukrainian Athlete Disqualified From Olympics Over Helmet Depicting War Dead: ‘The Price of Our Dignity’ time.com/7377960/vlad...

Swarms of bots linked to IP addresses in Lanzhou, China are absolutely flooding the internet. An absolutely fascinating story from our Made in China newsletter this week, by @zeyiyang.bsky.social

Notice how “resigned” keeps meaning “got caught.” Now do Howard Lutnick.

Putin demanding war end be signed in Moscow, is a very important symbol. It’s to show UKR is a vassal state. No way Zelenskyy could be confident of his safety. The war won’t end.

How the fuck is Corey Lewandowski in any position to fire a Coast Guard pilot? What is his title? What is his job? What is his official position in the US government? If you are Kristi Noem’s boyfriend you get to fire Coast Guard officers?

It feels weird that there's all of this vigor about calling reps and protesting about ICE and Epstein but the vaccine stuff is just hopeless.

And yet, it still makes sense.

Unconfirmed political hack Corey Lewandowski gets to make policy decisions at a massive federal agency as well as hiring and firing key personnel because he’s having an affair with Kristi Noem. Allegedly, since they continue to deny it even though everyone knows it.

Anyone else sensing a pattern here?

This is so embarrassing. The cartel drones Pam Bondi was sounding the alarm about during the hearing turned out to be… party balloons. This administration is so incompetent.

Hey there Pam Bondi if you have nothing to hide why were you tracking what congressmen were searching on the Epstein files? Why uh…. Why…. Why so nervous?

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

"The meeting between Putin and Zelensky can only take place in Moscow, this position remains unchanged." - Peskov.

And you know that notion never, ever crossed any same person's mind

ALL OF THEM! UNREDACTED! NOW!

NEWS: Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler has RESIGNED after newly released emails exposed a years-long personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — including advising him on handling sex crime accusations, media scrutiny, and accusers.

The New York Times just launched a new "newsletter about the law and the courts." They are calling it "The Docket." The Times may not care that Democracy Docket has been publishing "On the Docket" and "Daily Docket" for years, but I believe our 400,000 subscribers might. More on this tomorrow.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Governor @mikiesherrill.bsky.social, please remember there is no greater expert than Alina Habba on the law of parking garages and your state has a lot of them! 😀

SLOTKIN: So the fact we have ICE agents saying out loud to people they're trying to arrest that 'we're gonna put you in a database,' they are making that up? LYONS: We do not do that

“You have a Republican Party that’s entirely owned by Donald Trump,” Gallego told MS NOW. “They have no independence. They’re afraid of him. And ...

Q: Rep. Jayapal accused the DOJ of tracking her search history. Is that appropriate conduct? MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that Q: Bondi had a piece of paper with Jayapal's search history JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that but it would be inappropriate if it happened

Sooo ... WHY ARE THEY HIDING A GLOBAL PEDOPHILE RING & PROTECTING THE PEDOPHILES? Marjorie Taylor Greene: “It’s way WORSE than you think?” Lauren Boebert: “DEFINITELY MORE CO-CONSPIRATORS" AND "Ghislane Maxwell should spend more time behind bars, she SHOULD NOT BE GRANTED CLEMENCY by tRumpstein

Minnesota, you won. Much of ICE are leaving. Don't trust this. They are trying to get the funding bill passed. Once the bill passes they'll be back at it either by you or someplace else.

You gotta admit, the staffers in the background keeping it real are the best part.

New- As student walkouts against ICE spread nationwide, tensions are rising between young protesters and school administrators. In Portland, Oregon, one family says a counselor crossed a constitutional line when she confiscated their daughter’s protest sign off campus.

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

Watch how uncomfortable Pam Bondi’s staffer is behind her as she acts like an unhinged imbecile yesterday.

Trump tried to weaponize our justice system to go after my colleagues' most fundamental right — free speech — all because he didn’t like what they said. The President is trying to silence Americans who speak up and speak out. I won't be intimidated, and neither should you.

Countless articles over the past year quoted hundreds of employers stating that Latino-American workers who are citizens are afraid to show up to job sites for fear of being profiled and detained. If they are afraid to go to work, they damn sure won’t go to vote with ICE there.

the entire executive branch of the us government is a foreign asset and we should be talking about it

“The dissent I’ve seen is like a whisper. It’s a fear-based culture right now.” Across the industry, workers describe a ‘fear-based culture’ and pressure to ‘fall in line.‘ Read more from @haydenfield.bsky.social: buff.ly/NArp66x

Epstein is the biggest cover up by the US government ever. Period.

It must be hard being a politician that doesn't want to be corrupted. We should look out for those ones.

Republicans must have very sore lips after all the butt kissing they did during that hearing

A+++ post

Rand Paul to ICE officials on moments before Pretti's killing: "No one in America believes that shoving that woman's face in the snow was deescalation." Note that ICE officials then confirm it was improper for her to be thrown down.

Justice isn’t ICE leaving Minnesota. Justice is ICE being held accountable for murdering Americans.

“Russia’s South Caucasus.” Something has gone seriously wrong at the Washington Post

under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime

It’s the Epstein Administration. No wonder Bondi spent the entire hearing screeching and deflecting. H/T: @aaronparnas.bsky.social

We are doomed as a country.

Ex-KGB official says 2 countries have copies of compromising Trump video WE ARE LOSING OUR DEMOCRACY DUE TO TRUMPS EVIL HE IS BEING BLACKMAILED BY ISREAL AND RUSSIA

Impeach, arrest, and prosecute them all. Anything less is being complicit.

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

It isn't an empty gesture, it may not do anything now, but it's a signal to history, and to the world and to ourselves, that this is not ok.
