WATCH β€” @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed.

She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.

Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

I know! It’s one of my favorites. In the fact that Patrick Stewart’s own son played his son in that episode still amazes me.

"Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" deleted scenes | The Delegation of 2000 YouTube video by Gregular

Late to this, but just saw these deleted scenes from Revenge of the Sith, and a) they tie some plot holes together; b) really hits different (not just these scenes, but all of Star Wars' political saga) in These Times.
