Seriously, if they successfully obstruct justice much longer, we're going to have to switch to presumption of guilt, for all concerned.

I hope Democrats are much better prepared for her next Senate hearing than they were last time

Just trying to be clear we've only seen the tip of the whole rotten iceberg

The gold watch on offer is the FIFA Peace Prize, currently to be awarded Dec 5.

Careful, you're not asking for an explanation, you're asking for full release of info.

(the explanation will be that DoJ has an active investigation, you need to counter that)

Do we know that this is all of Epstein's emails? I'd guess there'd be more than 20k.

Either way, DoJ has much more material that has not been released.

Those are not The Epstein Files, just a few thousand emails from his estate. The actual Epstein Files are a much larger trove of materials held by DoJ. That's what Trump needs to release (to prove his innocence, of course).

Yesterday's release was a very small fraction of the withheld material, just a few thousand emails from the Epstein estate. The "Epstein Files" are the much much larger trove held by DoJ.

And when they spoke publicly, on the steps of Congress Sept 3, the Commander in Chief ordered a coincidental low flyover of military jets to intimidate them.

I don't think he was in the pilot logs for island flights. He was mostly involved in NY and FL. Note that his lies are often quite intentional, though he's getting sloppier.

Maxwell did that, but was easily disproven. He's a better liar than she.

It's harder to control voting when people vote in lots of different places (e.g. their kitchen tables) and times (e.g. on the weekend). Make them vote in a few specific places at once, and you can more easily make the system conveniently fail.

Nor does undocumented mean "not physically carrying their immigration documents with them", or "I don't feel like checking id, but my phone app says they're non-white".

That's exactly how Trump exacts loyalty with lies. Once you've observably bought into some obviously malicious fiction of his, you can't back out to the normal world.

Geez, not even a ShotSpotter False Positive (tm) for the overly credulous?

On the pod they talked about a model with an accessory outlet that could run a refrigerator through a several-day outage.

Typical induction stoves need 30-50 amps at 240v. A bunch of those in an apartment building are likely to require expensive service and panel upgrades.

Maybe not a financial no-brainer, but it's a great idea, and they're starting with an appropriate pilot project. All good.

It's hard to direct criticism at anonymous actors behind the scene. Maybe some former reporters could provide some insight as to how decisions about placement, headlines, etc are actually made and name some names, that would help. "I wasn't responsible for the headline" isn't very helpful.

This could be a workable compromise. Let BLS do all the work, collect and publish all the underlying stats, but without the bottom line that infuriates Trump. Then we, and the fed, can do the math and compute the bottom line ourselves.

He may yet be talking about the actual vote (which won't be close), not the petition (which is on the bubble).

In 2009 Dimon et al wouldn't even travel to the WH for crisis meetings with Obama and Treasury, phoned it in.

Further:
The agents told residents their target was dangerous and that they were protecting neighbors.

β€œWell, he’s never pointed guns at us,” Montgomery retorted.

It's an essential tool for disempowering the professional middle classes and deflating them back to lower class. I guess that has a lot of value for some, like decimating the manufacturing sector did.

They have to work out a new methodology and format, so "better" numbers can be reported without being comparable to historicals.

My phone collects lots of fundraising messages in its spam folder. This morning I fished out five recent appeals from incumbent senators gearing up for next year and replied STOP.

Young progressive challengers only from now on.

In Massachusetts there's a stiff tax penalty for not buying health insurance, no matter the cost. They'll remember.
