They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office
After announcing a $20 billion bailout of Argentina, the White House now says it's pausing $18 billion in funding for NYC infrastructure projects

Israeli officers and soldiers have revealed they’ve been ordered to deliberately shoot at unarmed Palestinians trying to get aid.
That’s in Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
Israel is deliberately massacring civilians it’s deliberately starving.

A practical suggestion: if you're in any kind of job where you may be asked or told to do things you can't ethically or legally do, figure out now what your line is, and what you'll do if it happens. Don't be the boiling frog.

A huge thank you to everyone who has been buying my book!
My goal was to make it worth reading a decade out, no matter how things played out, so it is incredibly gratifying to see interest continue to grow after more than five years on the market.

This is another section of Jack Smith report that was sourced to the immunity brief that Smith fought hard to release in October but was largely ignored by journalists.
Striking juxtaposition in Jack Smith's final report: While riot raged, the TV where Trump was sitting showed rioter saying Pence was Trump's last hope to overthrow the election. *Then* Trump issued his tweet directing the mob to target Pence. When informed Pence's life was in danger, he shrugged.

@niedermeyer.io I read Ludicrous recently. Great work, and an excellent starting point for any newly minted Elon sceptics. I found the contrast between manufacturing at Tesla and Toyota really interesting - can you recommend any books on Toyota?

This actually has nothing to do with Trump, unless the article is wrong about basically every detail.
An armed man broke into the building that houses the Colorado Supreme Court in Denver and opened fire inside before surrendering to police, according to the Colorado State Patrol
