MT local organizers drafted & submitted a constitutional initiative 4 voters 2 consider in 2026. It would decline 2 grant corporations the power 2 spend in elections...the Transparent Election Initiative wouldn’t overturn Citizens United; it would negate consequences of Citizens United

As the world mourns Dr Watson, it’s worth noting that Rosalind Franklin was the first person to photograph DNA structure back in 1953. Watson helped steal her photograph and, with it, went on to win the Nobel prize. Franklin died at 37, unaware that her photograph was stolen

I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here.
And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.

Kash Patel knows he’s drowning.
They sat on the video of the culprit for six hours, delaying the joint press conference just so he could fly in and stand there like a misplaced prop. All this after they axed the seasoned SLC FBI bureau chief and gutted the domestic-terror unit.
Total incompetence.

Brazil’s former wannabe Dictator Bolsonaro has officially been convicted and sentenced to 27 years in prison for inciting an insurrection after losing an election.
And that’s how it’s done, Brazil understood the assignment unlike the United States.

I think Noem is genuinely too dumb to understand the nature of the threat she's leveling here
Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."
Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

Sassoon is no leftie. She clerked for *Scalia*.
Danielle R. Sassoon, Manhattan’s acting U.S. attorney, resigned on Thursday rather than obey a Justice Department order that she drop a corruption case against New York City’s mayor, Eric Adams, that she had championed, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.

All kidding aside, the reason he is doing this is to establish some kind of culpability by @profgalloway.com and I. We never threatened these people but it is all in service of getting his supporters to think we did. It’s not a random tweet — all planned for a larger effort to silence us or worse.

Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad?
We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.
