“When I finally left...I traded chaos for stability,” Logis writes on the Leaving MAGA website. “The decision was liberating. I no longer had to defend the indefensible or justify the unjustifiable.” Fascinating story from @pennlive.com

The Lebanon County officer, in his 2nd month on the job, was asked if a person who had 5 or 6 drinks could consent to sex. "I don't understand," he said. "Consent to what?"

Video of the interaction showed the police version of events to be false.

Exclusive investigation from @pennlive.com Cody Balmer tried several times but could not get arrested after causing millions in damage to mansion and targeting Josh Shapiro.

NEW: Trump's DOJ said it is going to reexamine Alexander Smirnov's case. He pleaded guilty to lying about the Bidens. Last year, I reported that a firm backed by two Trump biz associates paid Smirnov. But there is a another tie between Smirnov and a Trump biz. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

An immigration judge denied bond for a Tufts University student from Turkey who has been detained by authorities in Louisiana for three weeks over what her lawyers say is apparent retaliation for an op-ed piece she co-wrote in the student newspaper. apnews.com/article/rume...

The question scholars are asking themselves isn’t whether Trump’s proposal is legal: Case law dating back to the 1950s makes clear it is not. They are questioning whether anything can stop Trump from a policy that endangers fundamental American freedoms.

The event was supposed to be tomorrow in Pa.

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

Graham Hetrick, 79, who has run this office since 1990 appeared at candidate forum Wednesday night. Story by @joshuapvaughn.bsky.social

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

They’re detaining and deporting lawful residents for engaging in free speech they disagree with. It’s tyranny zeteo.com/p/breaking-d...

In one way, Elon Musk is right: "The federal government is often wasteful and inefficient," the editorial board writes. But DOGE's "haphazard demolition campaign is undermining the basic work of government and the safety and welfare of the American people."

Another example of there is no trump, none of this shit, w/o Leonard Leo. Roberts is a Leo Opus Dei Catholic Integralist, who does not believe in separation of church and state. A Leo stooge, he gave trump immunity for re J6 treason. No trump w/o Leo. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

At the start of the Covid pandemic, Jay Bhattacharya said deaths would likely be “limited,” probably in the 20K-40k range. He was off by at least 25x. Now he denies saying that & he’s Trump’s pick to head the NIH. Read all about the big mistake he won’t admit. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

An NPR review of new data added to DOGE's "wall of receipts" finds the group quietly changed previous errors, added new ones and still has little verified savings to show for its work.

Willful stupidity is a powerful thing. Historical research is one dimensional and the end is always clear. Thus, we look back on things like the rise of the Nazis and think “how could you NOT know/stop it?!” Now we understand it perfectly.

“If we think about how we might be perpetuating a culture that produces rapists, it forces a level of introspection that makes people very uncomfortable. That introspection leads to action and choices about how we can change our lives.”

Again, I want to remind people that Zelensky is a war president who has faced countless mothers grieving their dead sons, and these assholes think it's more important to wear a suit.

“Though both Hitler and Hugenberg were fiercely anti-Communist, antidemocratic, anti-immigrant, and anti-Semitic, their attempts at political partnership failed spectacularly and repeatedly.” Timothy W. Ryback on Hitler's relationship with his oligarchs: theatln.tc/Hy5fsNe5

1/ The nascent Tesla boycott movement got me thinking back to the 80s anti-apartheid movement. How it took off and literally changed the world. If the South African apartheid regime could be brought down, perhaps one South African oligarch could be? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The corruption that has happened in this month alone could take all of the nation's remaining journalists years to fully document.

NEW: A handful of states just introduced bills to ban "surveillance pricing and wages" That's when companies charge/pay differently based on personal data. Advocates fear the practice is widespread in the gig economy @willoremus.com & me washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Justin Trudeau resigning was exactly what I was afraid of happening. shero.substack.com/p/trudeaus-u...

This is a massive, urgent report. If you read it all and follow all the in-text citations, you will be as anxious as I am right now. Not just America but the world is headed for ruin under the Trump-Musk autocracy we’re now just fourteen days away from. These men aren’t well, and they intend evil.

This was a case that jarred the community this summer just as an epic tragedy. While the official investigation grinds on, the Maciejewski family is bravely stepping through their pain and grief to try to help others. That's extraordinary. What they said: tinyurl.com/2s37cyjn

The union presidents say people applying to be mail carriers don't want to deliver mail: they want to steal it.

He served at the same base as the New Orleans suspect, but not at the same time.

My biggest surprise of 2024 is that when we learned Trump's DOJ criminally framed Joe Biden, no media outlets cared.

I LOVE this so much!

Cleaning up this much syrup isn't easy.
