NEW: An $11,000 golf cart. More than $7,000 on TV subscriptions. $1.5 million in office renovations. Those were among the expenses that one sheriff’s office billed to a settlement aimed at rooting out racial profiling in the department. With @azluminaria.org

NEW: You've asked for the text of my $8.647 million dollar claim to Todd Blanche pursuant to the $1.7B slush fund so you can write your own. Here it is: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-ive-fi...

Trump is making the GOP crazier and less electable by the day. Ds therefore have chance to assemble the widest coalition in recent history, underscore the depravity of the MAGA party, and present a sane alternative in step with concerns of majority of voters. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Trump & Blanche’s heist of $1.8 billion to hand out to their supporters who committed crimes must not be a 1-2 day story. It should be talked about every day until it is stopped. Republicans should be asked about it every interview. Trump should be asked about it every day.

So there is no true investigative journalism anymore. Just tech bros propaganda.

Wait for the puppy.. 😅

Elon's baby mama, Ashley St. Clair, says Elon knew the election results in 2024 hours before anyone else did, and he claimed this was because his satellites were scooping up data. www.rawstory.com/elon-musk-26...

NEW: The top lawyer at the Treasury Department just resigned. Even though he clerked for Clarence Thomas, perhaps the $1.7B heist was probably too much. Also note the Times (right) and the WSJ (left) refer to it as a settlement. The judge found IT IS NOT A SETTLEMENT. 1/

When did INSIDER TRADING become legal? It used to be a Federal crime with up to 25 years in prison. Mike Johnson said he needs to trade on inside information to pay his bills, like every other person in Congress. Law breaking Speaker of the House, third in line for the Presidency. CREEPY.

An insidious danger lurks within all of this... Why are so many data centers being built across the country? Ask yourself, what data are they collecting? 🤨

Justice Samuel Alito has fossil fuel stocks making up nearly a quarter of his personal investment portfolio. And he just voted to put a major climate accountability case on the Supreme Court’s docket after recusing himself from virtually identical cases for the exact same reason.

If you never read the book or saw the movie, you missed one of the greatest Pulitzer Prize winning sagas ever written. To dishonor Alex Haley like this is disgraceful.

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

We need to flip four senate seats this November to overcome the Fetterman problem.

New in PN: This is a crisis of democracy. What will Dems do about it? "Perhaps you’re uncomfortable with one or more of these proposals. That’s fine. At this point, the details are less important than preparing for a new approach to politics, procedures, and governing."

The Republican Party has become a collection of arsonists targeting every part of civil society, liberalism and democracy. What unites them all, however, is corrupting the electoral process. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

@marcelias.bsky.social said this a YEAR ago. It was sound advice then-- and even better advice today. We need to start taking action. Looking at you, Democrats in NJ, NY, MD, CO, IL, WA, OR. Marc: We "need to tell Republicans that if they take 5 seats, we're going to put 30 seats on the table."

The US did NOT contact airline passengers who flew with people known to have been infected with hantavirus. Cool cool.

"The best any economist can do right now is get the order of magnitude right, and my math suggests the Iran war will cost hundreds of billions of dollars, and very possibly trillions. "War is hell. And hell comes with a hefty price tag."

This is nuts. Now even the seasonal forecast members are breaking above 4°C.

Now the court OVERRULES Virginia voters????? What the fuck? Are you seeing it yet?

I could not have said it better!!!❤️💯

FEMA’s top official said that the “vast majority” of calls were answered during the deadly Texas floods. But new data indicates that the agency failed to answer 58% of the calls, and the average wait was 61 minutes at the peak.

Hassett on economic growth numbers: "I'm highly confident that we're gonna be looking at 4 percent numbers for the rest of the year"

They call them "data centers" because “mass-surveillance centers” would be harder to sell.

FYI—- if you are like me and have cast a wary eye on American news networks, you can watch news from Reuters, Al Jazeera, Canada and AP on Haystack News. You can find the app on your Smart TV and it’s free with short commercials. My PSA for the day🙂

Republicans are going to make taxpayers pay for Trump’s ballroom. All Trump’s claims over 16 months that “donors” were going to pay for it was always a lie and just another con. You will pay for it.
