Wait! Binnall’s letter mentions allegations that the Atlantic did NOT publish? Just a tremendous own goal.

If Kash Patel wanted to scare The Atlantic into not publishing this story he should’ve hired a different lawyer. Hiring a Big Lie lawyer just sends the signal that you can’t convince a non-partisan lawyer to take your claims seriously.

I don’t want to sound humorless, but I find it concerning that the US intelligence community is being led by people who are inexperienced, part of a cult, psychologically unhinged, blackout drunk, high on various substances, or otherwise compromised on multiple levels. It’s incredibly dangerous.

📌NPR has received two of the largest gifts in the public media network's existence, totaling $113 million. This is something called a "good news" story. I'd die without NPR, I really would.

This is a big one. Stellar reporting from Sarah Fitzpatrick. To call it a must-read is an understatement: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Kash Patel is an obviously stupid, unqualified, and unstable person who never should have been confirmed. Congress should act to remove him immediately.

House Democrats unveiled articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday, making serious allegations about his handling of the war in Iran and his leadership more broadly.

The Art of War is very funny once you understand it for what it actually is, which is Warfare 101 For Dipshit Nobles the intended audience is exactly people like Pete Hegseth

The Pope is literally reading Pete Hegseth for filth.

Pete Hegseth is a fucking douche.

They're going to sell off all the public parks if nobody stops them. I really thought this kind of strip deforestation and mining was a thing of the 60s. You can read all the statements they ignored here. So fucking depressing www.savetheboundarywaters.org/senate-passe...

They literally can't perform well on medical exams. They've done nothing that can be remotely accurately described as doing well on medical exams. At this point in time people who keep claiming that they can should be regarded as academic frauds. Your deliberate lies are hurting people.

Senator Wyden can’t say it plainly without losing his security clearance, but this raises the alarm that Kash & crew have decided they can illegally surveil Americans without a warrant.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life. Book of Prince 1:1

"There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." Ezekiel 23:20 I thought a real Bible verse might actually be appropriate here.

Krastev called Orban the right-wing Castro, which I think is exactly right: the leader of a small relatively insignificant country, that nevertheless became the ideological lodestar for a global movement after being propped up by russia

Buried 30 paragraphs into this abysmal BBC piece blaming renewables for the high cost of UK electricity is the actual reason it's so expensive, which is fossil gas. But Justin Rowlatt seems uninterested in this detail.

People are asking ChatGPT things I would normally just ask a friend, parent, mentor, therapist or medical professional for or about. It takes work to build and maintain those relationships, and figure out who is the right person to ask, but the alternative is a digital tool known for lying to users.

A man who was shot seven times by ICE agents during a traffic stop in Central California last week was arrested by the FBI upon release from the hospital Monday, according to his lawyer. ICE contends he's wanted for murder but his family insists it's a case of mistaken identity as he was acquitted.

ICE Concentration camps; though privately owned; are still under Congressional Oversight. Now, after DOZENS of Deaths, Congressman are showing up unannounced to inspect. One congressperson found conditions that he described as Squalid and Filthy. Worse than MAX Prisons.

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.
