Luigi Mangione Hits Back As First Trial Set For Summer: 'Double Jeopardy' β€œOne plus one equals two,” Luigi Mangione said as he was walked out of the courtroom. β€œDouble jeopardy by any commonsense definition.”

NEW: Luigi Mangione wasn't happy with a judge's decision to set his state trial for June 8, months before his federal trial.

β€œIt’s the same trial twice. One plus one equals two. Double jeopardy by any commonsense definition,” he said as he was leaving the courtroom, dressed in a brown jail uniform.

Democratic Senators Give Cryptic Warning About CIA Activities Ron Wyden has previously warned about spy abuses before they were public. Now he and Mark Warner say something else is up.

I asked Ron Wyden what his cryptic letter to the CIA was all about. He wouldn't say.

"I wrote it for a specific reason. That’s all I can say.”

He did a similar thing before, in 2011, and illicit spy activities were later revealed by Edward Snowden

Inside The Secretive Operation To Stop Fascism In Its Tracks Donald Trump’s fascism builds on generations of racial supremacy. A new book goes inside the secretive antifa groups fighting for freedom.

One of the best interviews I've had about my book, with @mattshuham.bsky.social, just published at @huffpost.com, my old stomping grounds (where the @huffpostunion.bsky.social deserves a fair contract!)

It Sure Seems Like Elon Musk Was Excited To Go To Epstein's Island, Emails Show "A peaceful island experience is the opposite of what I’m looking for," Musk emailed Epstein on Christmas Day 2012.

β€œI’ve been working to the edge of sanity this year and so, once my kids head home after Christmas, I really want to hit the party scene in St Barts or elsewhere and let loose. The invitation is much appreciated, but a peaceful island experience is the opposite of what I’m looking for.”

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

I'm on site where a federal agent shot a Minneapolis man this morning. It's bad.

Dozens of federal agents are facing off with hundreds of outraged residents. People being tear gassed, helicopters above, I keep hearing pops, and lots of loud BANGS.

This smoke is from tear gas:

One of the core purposes of right-wing media is to rewrite your memory and reprogram your moral response to an event you saw with your own eyes. George Floyd died of a heart attack. Jan 6 was a peaceful picnic. This process has already begun

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency β€œNo War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20Β°F weather.

β€œNo more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!”

β€œNo boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

So for months they have tried to blame the entire fentanyl crisis on Venezuela and the indictment only mentions cocaine, which they pardoned a different guy for weeks ago
