Emails about Donald Trump's connections to a pedophile sex trafficking ring? Boooooorrrrrriiiinnnggg

Emails about John Podesta's risotto recipe? Holy shit, stop the presses
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

Secret police forces typically meet 5 criteria:

targeting political opponents & dissidents
answer directly to dictator
the identity of members / operations are secret
surveillance operations
arbitrary searches, arrests, interrogations, detentions, disappearances & torture.

So yeah: ICE= Gestapo

"Kamala Harris is more often than not pulling marginally more GOP support to her cause than Trump is pulling Democratic support to his cause. That could be the ballgame."

On the pod, reporter Marc Caputo is so, so good on new data showing Trump losing GOP support:

Did anyone on this panel say “of course not, what a stupid fucking question”?

Louisiana Republicans hold veto-proof 2/3 legislative majorities thanks to these illegal gerrymanders.

They were able to pass those gerrymanders after 2020 because last decade’s gerrymanders gave them enough seats to overcome then-Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards’ opposition
A federal court just struck down Louisiana's Republican-gerrymandered state legislative districts for violating the Voting Rights Act by discriminating against Black voters: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Republicans recently had to redraw the congressional map following a similar ruling

Sean Hannity in December 2023: I cannot imagine how people would react “if Donald Trump and the Trump Organization or the Trump family were making tens of millions of dollars from our top geopolitical foes like China and Russia”

I have tried to tell the many people justly enraged/in despair over the destruction in Gaza that Biden does not possess a magic wand to reshape Israeli politics at his command. I also said there's a lot he can and likely is doing to affect events that have to be done behind the scenes.

Like this.
“U.S. President Joe Biden's energy security advisor is visiting Israel to discuss potential economic revitalization plans for Gaza centered around undeveloped offshore natural gas fields”
U.S. to push Israel to allow Gaza offshore gas reserves to revitalize Palestinian economy

For the second time in a week, NBC News invited Ronna McDaniel on the air, this time on Meet the Press, without telling their audience she tried to overturn the election by throwing out votes in Michigan

NBC has endorsed McDaniel's credibility and helped her revise her history as an election denier
