The Ellison family is cornering the market on attention and data the same way the Vanderbilts did railroads and the Rockefellers did oil.

Larry and David Ellison did not return requests for comment.

Jeffries: "One thing to understand for people doing the bidding of the Trump admin or engaging in the pay to play schemes of the Trump admin is that the statute of limitations is 5 years. Donald Trump and this toxic administration will be long gone but there will still be accountability to be had."

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion.

Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences.

Why would the DOJ scrub the fact that right-wing extremism is the #1 domestic terror threat in America?

Why not acknowledge and confront it?

Also why haven't they released the Epstein Files?

Also why did Ghislaine Maxwell get a sweetheart deal transfer?

These problems won't go away.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

Let’s get this straight, once and for all:

Homophobia is not an opinion.
Transphobia is not an opinion.
Xenophobia is not an opinion.
Misogyny is not an opinion.
Racism is not an opinion.

It’s hatred. — Are we all clear on this?

Quotes the great Dan Carter, who wrote the definitive biography of George Wallace.

Kirk’s murder “is a terrible thing for America, but I don’t think we gain anything by embracing him as some kind of open-minded individual who strengthened democracy.”

If you know about Korea, you know that people will tell this story for generations.

Given the scale, tech savvy, cultural sway, strategic importance, and national pride of ROK, this might be *the* most lastingly damaging, idiotic move team MAGA has made.
