#Tennessee #TN07 Time to vote for @aftynbehn.bsky.social and make your state better

She could be the deciding vote on the #Epstein files
She tries to work for normal people, veterans, sick people and children they don’t want to hear about
The Tennessean rightly points out what we’ve been making sure folks understand: let the record show @MarshaBlackburn ONLY declared she won’t stuff taxpayer money in her pockets “AFTER PUBLIC CRITICISM”

Even Republicans like @RepJohnRose called her out

If Michael Wolff 'breaks his silence' any more often I'm going to think he never really has been silent...
And yet he hasn't mentioned his emails to Epstein and the ways in which they render an average reader queasy...

So now the Office of Legal Counsel is relying on the word of a President who was caught lying over 30,000 times in his first term.
Awful: Trump's boat bombings are now being justified by a new legal memo that relies on WH's own determinations as evidence. Memo also says people can't be prosecuted for the killings. But that reveals WH knows there's legal vulnerability here, Ds tell me.

A new White House memo argues that those carrying out the boat attacks can’t be prosecuted. Why? Because the White House says so!

Here's Keir Starmer before the general election promising Ukrainian refugees that he will stand with them "as long as it takes".

Now his Government's own policy is that "the era of permanent protection [for refugees] is over"

This has been their strategy since the 90s - ever since David Blunkett had the Home Office.

It's destroyed people's lives - and opened up space for the Tories et al to be even more vile - but it's never worked.

All it's done is ensure that many of the people who should be their base despise them.

What is truly pathetic about Labour is that this is all they have got. They have failed so spectacularly already, despite a whacking great majority, to even attempt to govern positively that all they have is punching down on marginalised groups and saying "oh but Reform will be worse".

'Glittering generality' statements is extremely common behavior in dementia patients: i.e., "I don't know what this 6 inch scar on my abdomen is from, but I know 'they' did some kind of surgery", "I know I was in the hospital for a couple weeks, but I can't remember what was wrong", etc.
Trump: I had an MRI and the result was outstanding.

Reporter: Was it your brain?

Trump: I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well.

I guess if she starts actions against others it becomes a legitimate reason not to release the files (as they weren't released to the Biden administration because there were ongoing investigations in contemplation of criminal prosecution). It's the one smart thing they've done.

So, @bylinetimes.bsky.social have done great work investigating Prescott's background & history (he wrote that memo that caused so much trouble for the BBC).
Here's an analysis of the memo itself, in terms of just how valid the "research" was that went into it.

BBC bias? The Prescott memo falls well short of the standards of impartiality it demands
The Prescott memo contained no research questions or objectives, method, sample, time frame or, crucially, analytical framework for examining output.
