You had me at “in about the last hour”
Sums up the entirety of the MAGAT efforts. Do another atrocious thing every hour of every day. Invade Charlotte. Taze and kidnap an unarmed woman. Kidnap a baby. Plow under the East Wing. Murder some fishermen with airstrikes. Every hour, every day.
Republicans calling Mamdani an Islamic terrorist, then honoring Mohammed Prince "Bone Saws" bin Salman Al Saud with a White House visit is the most audacious display of GOP repugnance I've seen in about the last hour. If a nonstop flow of dumpster juice is your thing, they'll never disappoint.

“She was expecting to be protected.”
Gail Karran made a recording of the attack that killed her.
It recorded Bill banging on the door. It recorded 105 blows. It recorded Bill raping and choking his wife of 30 years.

Everyone is downplaying that Mar-A-Lago is a vector in the Epstein pipeline so it’s good to point this out
“ At just 16 years old, she took a job at Mar a Lago, believing she had secured a dream summer position. But that dream quickly morphed into a nightmare when Ghislaine Maxwell preyed upon her…. They trafficked her”

So now Australia will be making F35 fighter jet parts for Saudi Arabia. A country that Amnesty says ignores people’s basic human rights, restricts their freedoms and inflicts severe punishment. The regime also kills dissenters. No one even asked us.

In an interview on NPR the other day, Ro Khanna mentioned that the victims’ attorneys have copies of the files and the victims may themselves come forward to name names. DOJ and trump can run but they can’t hide. The financial and political dealings that will be uncovered will also be unsettling.

If interested in the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority's tardiness in responding to dimethoate residue in blueberries, recall that Barnaby kludged that organisation by abruptly shifting it to Armidale in 2017. Staff were reportedly working in McDonalds, for internet access.
