You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it.
Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.
Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

As @rbreich.bsky.social notes billionaires and their families own X, Paramount, CBS, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, the Washington Post, Amazon, MGM, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and New York Post, and could soon own Warner Bros and CNN
And they are all Trump supporters

Platkin: They didn’t go to the mat to make sure people could eat. They didn’t go to the mat to make sure people could afford their health care. But they sure as hell made sure they could make hundreds of thousands of dollars on our backs based on some bogus theory of how they were harmed.

This is the correct question
There were cops present, watching & listening to the nazis as they broke laws around hate speech & inciting hate. Were they instructed not to intervene .... with bats, pepper spray & arrests .... like they do with climate change or anti genocide protesters??
What instructions were they given ??

It's an insult to all decent Australians that you, @albomp.bsky.social, propose a State funeral for the Capo of what was arguably the largest organised crime group in the nation, the right wing (NSW Centre Unity) of the @australianlabor.bsky.social www.smh.com.au/politics/fed... #nswpol #auspol
No honour in honouring a dishonourable former member
A state funeral for ALP kingmaker Graham Richardson is not appropriate for a man of such dubious achievements.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

His dementia, coupled with lifelong toxic megalomania, is resulting in total incoherence both in speech and actions. It's really time for him to go. If Dems can get solid majorities in both Houses in 2026, which last week's result suggests is possible, it can be done.

Journalist friends, you know what to do.
Sarah Kendzior was suspended, she doesn’t know why, and the head of T&S said he won’t confirm whether or not the suspension was intentional unless media requests hit a threshold

We usually do that in response to media requests once they hit that threshold. I’ll try not to weigh in here, since that’s still details of an individual case. An interesting topic for a separate write up though, without discussing case specifics.

Huge shout out to the newest paramedic in Boston! Dylan passed his test today in the same program I took at Northeastern Uni 50 years ago. I'm sure much has changed. 😂 Hoping his visit back to Australia next week goes smoothly. Haven't seen him in a year and a half and can't wait! ❤️
