So I guess they did meet earlier for the obligatory photo op, but Marco skipped out on the more important meeting with Zelenskyy and EU leaders about Ukraine. He probably doesn't want to face them knowing we're going to sell them out.
A year later Weev would play a key role in professionalizing the trolls who played a key role in getting Trump elected.

If anything happens to me, please assume foul play and only let state agents—not federal—access my data and drafts.
For those unaware, a quick primer on perhaps the most dangerous of the oligarchs.
Peter Thiel.
Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.
Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.
Our priorities are so fucked.
Hungary holds elections in 2 months. And the US Secretary of State is in Hungary campaigning for Viktor Orban. And as you can see, Russian state media loves it.
Same bullshit came from our current Secretary of State. In a speech in Europe, these are the same talking points.
Elon Musk is just a propaganda parrot.
We can’t trust anything coming out of this administration. It’s getting tiresome.
The legacy media keeps getting this wrong. Trump didn't say "nationalize the election."
He said We should take over the VOTING in at least many—15 places.' The Republicans ought to nationalize the VOTING."
There is a big difference.
None of this is normal
These are the oligarchs who seek to rule every aspect of our lives, and the current US regime is doing everything possible to facilitate that because it is owned by them.

To my surprise, CDC is still tracking how many children RFK condemns to measles. Cases are getting younger and, of course, it is spreading faster.

After it was released, an unclassified addendum was added directing staff to “recall this report” at Gabbard’s direction. The unclassified addendum was issued in April, according to the person familiar with the matter. “The report is accurate and in accordance with all NSA policy, directives, and guidance; however, the DNI directed NSA to recall the report,” the addendum said. “Please remove the original report from all manual and computer files.” Grenell, who multiple sources said is close with Gabbard, declined to comment. CNN has reached out to the White House and Gabbard’s office for comment. A senior intelligence official told CNN that the report, the general contents of which were described to CNN, was withdrawn over concerns about protecting a person’s civil liberties and privacy. The NSA report, the person said, made a person’s identity obvious, although the substance was about Grenell’s diplomatic work and was not derogatory. GOP officials have long raised concerns about “unmasking” people’s identities in intelligence reports, feeling the common practice has been used to target and embarrass them by Democratic administrations. CNN has not independently reviewed the report.
Rozen notes that in April -- the same month as the intercept -- Tulsi withdrew an NSA report on Grenell.

Note: Over on Xitter Laura Rozen wonders if the person is Ric Grenell, which would like up with a bunch of things (including current urgency).
You gotta love when a fucking journalist uses the passive voice for having axed 300 great journalists.

Reminder that Iran hacked several people close to Trump in 2024: Lindsey Halligan, Roger Stone, and Susie Wiles.
In this post, I noted that if Iran did with those victims what they did with Bolton, they would have tried to blackmail them, as they did him.

The discussion, at least in part, concerned issues related to Iran, some of the people said. The full substance of the call, which was intercepted by the National Security Agency, couldn’t be determined. The intercepted conversation was a key catalyst for the highly classified whistleblower complaint filed by a U.S. intelligence official last May that accused Gabbard of limiting the sharing of the conversation within the U.S. intelligence community for political purposes, the people said.
WSJ adds to the Guardian's reporting abt Tulsi whistleblower complaint It pertains at least in part to Iran.

I wouldn't rule out Elon Musk literally shutting down Twitter if it means avoiding the Epstein scandal and his emails showing he wanted to go to the pedophile's island and party with him.
It's so frustrating to have to keep fighting these sane fights over and over.
Jay Lefkowitz, Kenneth Starr, Bush the 2nd likely involved in helping Epstein escape justice in 2008:
Below letter strongly suggests Pres Bush and Kenneth Starr were involved w getting Epstein off the hook in 2008...when is anyone in US going to be held accountable??
Are Republicans across the nation, not just politicians aware of just how repulsive they are to the rest of the world!? To protect and continue to support a child sexual torturer as their president when they could actually be heroes now and in history by impeaching and removing seems like suicide.
Yup. Starmer might fall over this, folks.

Who made the billionaires?
We did, go on Facebook, X? Buy a Tesla? Shop on Amazon?
Time for society to accept responsibility, and realize that it is OUR hunger for self gratification, and imperialism, that created these Billionaires. Need to get back to being humans.
RIP 60 Minutes and CBS. Any journalist that stays now is complicit.
