Scandal Unveiled: Sex Offender Appointed as Federal Housing Consultant | Politics Mark Zarkin, a known Trump supporter and previously convicted sex offender, was appointed as a consultant to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac by Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. T...

Oh look, the party that protects sexual predators is also hiring them.

The director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency has appointed registered sex offender and Detroit-area businessman Mark Zarkin.

Zarkin pled guilty to felony sex with a mentally incapacitated person.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC

I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.

I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

Republicans today: We don’t want to extend the ACA subsidies because insurance companies are making too much money!

Amazing.

The talking point they came up with is so lame and pathetic. Yes, insurance premiums are paid to insurance companies. Yes, the subsidies help low and low-middle income people afford to pay them. That’s how the ACA works. Just admit you want to raise premiums on 22 million people.

Crockett: When you go and you hit those booths come the midterms, think about which party decided that it was okay to literally be on vacation while people were going hungry in the streets of America.

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

John Robert’s legacy is going be a hoot to read, when all the dirt on him comes out…

Short-term legal win, long-term political loss.

CNN: "A brand new report is out showing layoff announcements hit their highest level for October in over 20 years. It's painting a picture of a job market that is really hurting. US-based employers announced 150,074 job cuts in October, more than any October since 2003."

I think this may actually be a BFD. One of the defendants (Tish James, IIRC) raised who the client was in the motion to DQ.

Plus, I think Lemons is getting stuck playing front man for the larger conspiracy against rights prosecution, which is doing a lot of illegal things.

MR. LEMONS: May it please the Court. Good morning, Your Honor. Tyler Lemons for the United States government. THE COURT: All right. Good morning, Mr. Lemons. MS. DONALESKI: Good morning, Your Honor. Rebekah Donaleski, Patrick Fitzgerald, and Jessica Carmichael, and it's our privilege to represent the defendant, Mr. James Comey.

Folks actually attending hearings in EDVA should fact check me on this, but I don't think Lindsey Halligan has ever said the words, "Lindsey Halligan, for the United States," and now (this was from Wednesday's hearing) the second Loaner AUSA, Gabriel Diaz, isn't even getting included.

Yep. I think it's pretty likely we're close to an AI crash.

Bear Stearns starting the 2008 crash was poetic enough (especially, looking back, the Epstein ties).

But if Palantir was the Bear Stearns of the AI crash, it'd be such poetic justice.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

I’ve never seen an American elected official fight so hard to starve people.

They want you to leave your phones at home so you can’t take video of them. If you leave your phone at home, take a go-pro with you. Cameras out, America!

Blanche said the Justice Department was looking to move the investigation of such complaints “in house” and only refer them to bar authorities if warranted. Blanche also griped about media coverage, complaining that journalists paint Trump’s immigration actions as overly harsh, while ignoring past comments by prominent Democrats like Hillary Clinton urging “no questions asked” deportations for immigrants who’d committed crimes.

Todd Blanche says they're trying to insource attorney discipline so their crimes don't get people disbarred.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

The cruelty is the point.

JD Vance was raised on government assistance.

Perfect snapshot of who he really is…

Trump is worried that if he feeds the hungry and he didn’t have to, that he won’t be able to get the money back.

Our money. Appropriated by Congress. To feed the hungry.

Palantir CEO Karp twice slams short sellers as stock suffers worst week since April Palantir CEO Alex Karp twice confronted short sellers this week as the company's shares suffered a double-digit drop.

Alex Karp and Peter Thiel are two of the worst people on this planet running one of the most evil companies to ever exist—we should do whatever we can to make Palantir go bankrupt.

Well, you see, son, the phrase “Eat the rich” was more of a slogan originally. But then the government started starving people and…well, you know the rest. Now pass me that plate of braised Thiel.

Watch to the end

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"
