This story BLEW MY MIND 🏺
So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.
A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.
Once again we’re asking “Why do they hate us?” And the answer is the same: It’s not because of our freedom, it’s because of what we do to them.

Oh.
“We have agreed” — how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?
ICE has spun a massive surveillance web. We talked to people caught in it
The thing about Timothee Chalamet choosing to shit on ballet and opera is that his mom “majored in dance at LaGuardia High School and attended Yale University on a ballet scholarship. As a child, she danced with the New York City Ballet and later went on to perform in several Broadway musicals.”
We have the data. My longest columns have more readers, who read longer, and who share them the most.
Never forget that this what The Washington Post said when Noem was nominated.
No dignity
Participant in one of the worst criminal conspiracies to ever befall the government rewarded with more opportunities to breach data safety protocols.
I have always suspected Timothée Chalamet was a little shit and untalented and LO I was right
Sorry for just catching up but those layoffs at the Washington Post just four weeks ago included "the entire roster of Middle East correspondents and editors". Very cool for those of us who would like to know WTF is going on in the Middle East right now. bbc.com/news/article...

Also, Liberty University isn't either.

“The 312-foot Dena and its 130-member crew, many of them musicians in the Iranian navy band, had just finished participating in an Indian government naval exercise and cultural exchange that the U.S. Navy had also participated in and were on the way home on Wednesday.”
Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."
His last words to the ICE agents: "I'm sorry, sir."
Clearly someone who posed a threat and was trying to run them over.
The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.
We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.
