Pam Bondi caught submitting a false statement in the Comey and James cases.

Ronan Piontek interviewed both Jordan (formerly from A Better Way 2A) and I about our perspectives on self defense and carving out space away from mainstream gun culture, especially for minorities and others who have conventionally felt left out. Give it a read!

The context was sex between a 13 year old and a 15 year old at camp. This shit is obviously messy, but I don’t think that should be a strict liability offense for which the 13 year old’s parents can sue the 15 year old’s parents as if they have a property interest in their kid’s virginity.

Honestly more concerned at this point that AI is going to wipe out millions of jobs because of what it does to VC and shareholder expectations than actually replacing human labor productivity

Glazing writeup of the man supposedly "democratizing the Fed" should maybe care to mention that he wrote about the need to ban White House officials from working at the Fed before breaking norms to take high jobs in both the Fed and White House simultaneously!

I don't think it gets mentioned enough that Bovino is a member of the civil service. He is not a political appointee. Yet he still engages in constant open partisanship while in uniform and with a DHS flag behind him.

US designates four groups in Europe as terrorists, calls them 'violent Antifa' www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Democrats think that scandal mongering is beneath the dignity of their office, but intensely want the media to do their scandal mongering for them. It's like how in the 19th century, it was considered uncouth to campaign for higher office so you had others do it for you. But that's not how it works.

How do most libs to some extent understand the war on drugs has been a catastrophic failure but in the age of 3D printing they’re like how about we try that again but with magazines and gun frames?

Also laws like permit to purchase or gun insurance is often used as another form of pay walling civil rights into a privilege for the wealthy/well connected which tracks with the history of gun control in our country mostly being rooted in classism & racism.

This is what male solidarity & collective action to oppress women looks like: Artist Andres Serrano--successful, but nowhere near the same class as Thiel & other billionaires in the files--stating that he'll vote for Trump, despite his politics, out of *sympathy* with T's sexual assaults on women.

DHS does not need probable cause suspicion to take your phone when you enter the US and fully copy it into its databases. It can then scan through it for any reason, and use AI tools to effortlessly pull up sensitive info It’s a massive & easily abused loophole for basic 4th Amendment protections

Customs and Border Protection has for two straight quarters conducted the highest number of warrantless border searches ever. It maintains a database of tens of thousands of fully cloned electronic devices (all without a warrant), which thousands of DHS personnel can then sift through for any reason

Due to mass hype and operational ambiguity, executives can use "AI" as a justification for job cuts, increased worker surveillance, speed-up, reducing hiring—with little accountability or repercussion. The *logic* of AI has often been as damaging to labor as the tech itself (see: DOGE.)

if my math is right Michael Saylor's magic bitcoin holding company premium has officially disappeared 641,205 coins $100k = $64.125 b current market cap $MSTR $62.2 b easy come easy go

Semi-coherent, typo-filled emails could be a symptom of poor literacy. But in many cases, they are a flex by someone who wants to display how busy and important they are.

You all understand that this is being done to immunize the use of the Alien Enemies Act from further review, right? Like ... the one thing everyone agrees on is that if there's a live war, he has AEA powers

EUROPEAN OFFICIALS WEIGH POOLING DOLLARS TO REDUCE RELIANCE ON FED, SOURCES SAY

pals, if you are a survivor of sexual violence, you have my permission and even encouragement to dip out of the discourse, the news and social media. I promise, if anything important happens, someone will catch you up.

"David Fizel" is most likely a misspelling of "David Fiszel", who is a NYC money manager and "philanthropist" -- Fiszel was a portfolio manager for Steve Cohen's Point72 capital, which recently bought a large stake in Trump's crypto grift

Feminism 5: this time we're armed Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Can we talk about that lame privilege disclaimer and copyright assertion in Epstein’s email signature? Because that’s bush league AF. Alan Dershowitz must have really hated that he was being blackmailed by such a schmuck.

What—and I cannot stress this enough—the ever loving FUCK

Indeed. 👇🏾 I met John Dean in 2012 because it was the 40th anniversary of the Watergate burglary & I made some lame joke about see you in 10 years and he said something like every Watergate anniversary lasts 2 years until Nixon resigned. He was right of course. #watergate 👀⚖️

Now what do you suppose that means?

Sacks as in David Sacks?

goddamn sulzberger on that list has me like

SCHUMER IS IN THE EPSTEIN EMAILS

What is a no-context list that nobody wants to be on?

Or even an email featuring a use of the word “enigma” that doesn’t really make sense?

Who among us hasn’t gotten baked out of our minds and written deeply stupid notes to self? That said, I wouldn’t want this weirdo in the blunt rotation. And I should delete my old intoxicated ramblings lest future generations think I was an idiot…

In awe of how many public dollars are spent on police salaries to pay for time they spend organizing members of the public towards their own particular will, while the rest of us have to run the treadmill of informed citizenship and figuring out how to participate in democracy on our own time.

I’m watching Fox News to see how they’re covering the Epstein developments. Nothing yet, but their grudging respect for Gavin Newsom so bizarre. They obviously hate his policies but are like “he’s so tall, handsome and charming” lmao

Acknowledging the K-shaped economy, it appears need to exclude the mortgage-less boomers sitting on 7-figure IRAs too

I’m sorry, we’re meant to believe that the guy who mentioned groping women to a casual acquaintance and is credibly accused of assaulting numerous women, including a jury determination that he did, engaged in illicit sex acts at the home of his friend, a known sex offender? Color me skeptical!

Defending them from Mom and/or Dad being home for the holidays?

Armstrong is such a POS.

BofA: After a period of volatility, we estimate the effective tariff rate stands at 14.7%, of which 9.5pp is due to IEEPA actions

Not a depiction of an adult woman.

house dems sitting on this waiting to drop it until Adelita Grijalva gets sworn in is kind of insane

The Senate has found a thing they don't like QI for: anyone investigating them for doing crimes (it explicitly waives any claim of QI lol) Also this passed through regular order via approps, not any CR stuff, so Murray along with Heinrich and Ossoff should be the ones getting blasted for this

This is way worse than the caving being about protecting the filibuster or even the Senators wanted their flights back for the holidays

CFPB to propose removal of disparate impact theory of liability from Regulation B. www.federalregister.gov/public-inspe...

Goddamn. It really sounds like he had the goods on Trump. Harder and harder not to get conspiratorial…

It’s very reminiscent of the late 19th/early 20th century, at least in the UK. Bookies and gambling are pervasive in fiction from that era, commonly cited as the reason why some young male character finds himself hard up. It’s the same old thing on steroids.
