Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Wow

"[Ed] Martin is also believed to have shared sensitive grand jury information about the James case with at least one unauthorized individual as well as worked with another person from outside the federal government to examine potential evidence in the Schiff and James probes."

At least you can honestly hate watch shitty TV because humans are flawed . . . and schadenfreude. AI slop eliminates both that grace and the satisfaction that comes from pointing out that narcissistic with unlimited resources can still be no talent ass clowns.
No, thank you.

As between literally anything “starring” this bot and the new Kim K lawyer drama on Hulu that’s been universally panned as the worst tv show ever made, I’ll take the heinous legal show and all the nauseating cringe that apparently comes with it.

Kind of like this if it can be done in a meaningful way. Businesses don't need to uproot themselves but could locate certain teams and hold certain events downtown. Walmart does this with its partners in Bentonville, Arkansas. #stl

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Finding out new information is a horror show. Ugh.
Agree this is an important piece.

Also:
-Don't miss Lincoln Caplan's excellent piece, on same theme, last month in Harvard magazine www.harvardmagazine.com/legal/suprem...

-Every Roberts profile should point out that he was on GWB's Florida Recount team in 2000. As were Brett K, Amy CB.

Taxpayers paid $103B for stock buybacks for Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, General Dynamics & Northrop Grumman over the last decade.

They donated to politicians who bought their stocks and gave them contracts, then both made money.

The New York Times obit for Alice Wong doesn’t mention Covid or Gaza

It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias

Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations

She fought for the people of Gaza

She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue

53% of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to American democracy.

Meanwhile, just 100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion on federal elections last year — a 160-fold increase since Citizens United.

The people know: billionaires should not be able to buy our elections.
