Open questions: missing 37 pages of investigators’ notes, and follow-up about the two β€œadditional interactions” with Trump she mentioned but did not describe.

Notable is the pervasive atmosphere of fear and threat. Civil case not public.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

i don't think anyone at the time expected reagan tearing solar panels off the white house to spite jimmy carter would be such a significant metaphor for the 21st century

Jesse's whole shtick for a while now has been "gender-affirming care for minors is a sick, monstrous scam perpetuated by incompetent hacks who are torturing innocent children because of woke ideology, and how very dare you assume I oppose that, I'm suing you for defamation". It gets tiring.

"I didn't see a single building standing the entire time I was in Gaza. I didn't see one building intact or standing.

Everything was flattened. And when I mean flattened, it was hard to even tell that they were buildings there before."

I won't vote for Gavin Newsom but you do have to admit nobody else has straight up killed a Republican congressman

If you judge by a metric of relative to other plausible presidents at the time it’s hard to not see Trump as the worst of all time tbh.

Border Patrol is detaining another US citizen and lying about it.

She’s part of a group of citizens and green card holders who have been disappeared after their travel plans were disrupted.

DHS' official version of events had already been previously called into question by somebody at the scene. Joshua Orta, Martinez's best friend and a passenger in the vehicle during the shooting, said in a draft declaration that his friend "did not hit anyone" and that he was trying to comply with commands from officers. Orta died in a separate car crash last month, before he could sign that declaration.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

There is literally no way to find a real life fox that attractive and that’s sort of the dealbreaker for folks, most real life foxes just want to eat chickens and not be sexy

The War on Terror Paved the Way for Trump's Riseβ€”Now He's Making It His Own Only the total abolition of the DHS can restore freedom.

NEW @thenation.com: The tools of the War on Terror must be destroyed before Trump uses them to finish building his world order, at home and abroad. What we did at home yesterday is what we do in Iran today is what we will do at home tomorrow. The way we break the cycle is straightforward: abolition.

baseball is always some guy who is a physically perfect specimen being guided day and night by world class trainers, nutritionists, and doctors hoping to beat a record set by some guy named Pickles Bitch in 1937 who lived on cigarettes and moonshine and did not exercise other than baseball games

An Epidemic of β€˜Victory Disease’ The president is pointing to the American military’s excellence as though that somehow constitutes a strategy in itself.

For years, strategists have warned national leaders against the temptations of "victory disease," the belief that winning battles means they're winning the war. Leaders throughout history have made this mistake, and Trump seems to be making it now.

man, @publichealthguy1.bsky.social was (afaik) the first former CDC person to publicly call *explicitly* for RFK's resignation, rather than gently scold him, and he's currently being called a piece of shit and dogpiled for saying vaccine hesitant parents are facing a bad information environment
