Where Have the Proud Boys Gone? The Trump administration has left them with little to do.

Reported out and wrote about the current state of the Proud Boys, militias, and similarly styled far-right groups. They were the bleeding edge of the right in Trump I, but in Trump II, they’ve been superseded. The federal government is the vanguard now. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Wolff: This is a key issue right now in the way the White House is looking at the Epstein scandal.

The fear is that Ghislaine Maxwell can tie Donald Trump to the details of what Trump and Epstein called the P*ssy Committee.

The Committee consisted of their efforts to get girls for Prince Andrew.

In L.A., police nightsticks are clubbing press freedom to death | Will Bunch On Friday, LAPD cops allegedly battered and detained journalists at a protest β€” the ugliest of the many threats to U.S. press freedom.

The press freedom crisis in America isn't only billionaires bowing down at big outlets like CBS, the Post. In L.A., elsewhere, indie journalists at protests are getting beat up or arrested by cops, a chilling sign of an authoritarian U.S. police state

Over 90 pages of "Alligator Alcatraz" files disappeared as I was looking at them and reporting on the situation. Our public records requests are getting stonewalled. A slew of experts told me this all seems to be illegal. talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/th...

Newsom: He knows he’s going to lose in the midterms, and we have the opportunity to de facto end the Trump presidency in less than 18 months.

That’s what’s at stake. That’s why we’re putting a stake in the ground. We’re not drawing lines just to draw linesβ€”we’re holding the line: on democracy.

According to NYT the problem is not Trump’s Justice Department regularly lying to judges, but judges refusing to believe their lies. NYT is a Trump collaborator.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has ordered the ICE raids that terrorized LA to stop.

In an effort to attract new recruits, ICE is offering incentives including signing bonuses of up to $50,000 and student loan forgiveness/repayment options.

No student loan debt forgiveness for teachers, nurses or other vital professionals!

A system that allows a convicted criminal rapist tyrannical traitor to gain full totalitarian control of the U.S. govt without so much as a guardrail in place to protect us from him and his deranged destructive immoral corrupt agenda is a highly flawed and broken system.

Beef prices at all-time high: Why summer grilling costs a lot more this year Supply constraints and high demand have driven up beef prices. Experts warn that it could take years to rein prices back in.

Remember Trump’s big promise to lower your grocery bill on day one?

According to June figures from the Labor Department:

All ground beef up 11%

Chuck roast up 7.2%

Round roast up 12.8%

Sirloin steak up 12.7%

Beef for stew up 10.7%

SO. MUCH. WINNING. πŸ™„

Sounds like a command or centrally planned economy (frequently associated with communism), not free market capitalism. Hmmmm.

This idiocy condemns the next generation to a future of emergencies and shortages. No one should work in or vote on climate policy unless and until they have taken basic courses in climate science.
