Kash Patel’s latest firings ousted agents with expertise in Iran The FBI director gutted a specialized, global espionage unit of counterintelligence agents, just days before Operation Epic Fury.

TERRIBLE TIMING: When FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen FBI agents and staff last week for their role in the classified documents investigation of Donald Trump, he targeted an elite counter espionage unit that investigates threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran.

I cannot stop thinking about the $345 billion judgement against Greenpeace.

We have to, essentially, phase out fossil fuels, yet for participating in a years-long fight to block one measly little pipeline, if they can't overturn this on appeal, Greenpeace will be destroyed.

How is this even real?

Paramount-Warner Would Create a Hollywood Jobs Apocalypse - The American Prospect The deal comes complete with so much debt that it would almost certainly lead to mass job loss. That could prove to be an argument against the deal in court, too.

I'm off this week and I wrote this before we got our war on this weekend.
The Paramount-Warner merger is actually a private equity takeover. The amount of leverage used in the purchase rivals the PE deals for Toys "R" Us and Nabisco. Those ended with mass layoffs, and this will tooβ€”by design.

The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied. JUSTICE
KAGAN would grant the petition for a writ of certiorari.
JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE JACKSON joins,
dissenting from denial of certiorari.
This case asks whether federal law prohibits the poorest
prisoners from splitting the $350 fee required to file a federal lawsuit when it allows everyone else to do so. The answer statutorily appears to be no. Because the decision below held otherwise and deepened a split among the Courts
of Appeals, the Court should grant the petition for a writ of
certiorari.

Petitioners Topaz Johnson and Ian Henderson were incarcerated at High Desert State Prison in California when
they filed this lawsuit in federal court. According to their
complaint, corrections officers forced them and a third prisoner to stand in filthy cages that reeked of urine and measured 2.5 feet by 2.5 feet. They alleged that the officers
forced them to stand in those cages for nearly nine hours
with their hands cuffed behind their backs.

By a 6–3 vote, SCOTUS refuses to review a judge-made rule that bars indigent prisoners from splitting the filing fee among themselves when filing a federal suitβ€”even though everyone else is allowed to split that fee. These defendants were allegedly tortured. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

OpenAI posted the terms of the deal. Reveals that it absolutely does allow for domestic surveillance. EO 12333 is how the NSA hides its domestic surveillance by capturing communications by tapping into lines *outside the US* even if it contains info from/on US persons.

I like The Dain Curse as well. Once upon a time there was a mini-series based on it, and the book’s structure would make it a natural, but I’ve seen it or even located a way to see it. Haven’t looked in quite a while. Might be from the 1980s.

Markwayne Mullin: "The ACA is unaffordable".

Argentina- $40 Billion
Board Of Peace- $10 Billion
Qatar Jet refit- $1 Billion
ICE- $85 Billion increase
Trump demands $10 Billion personally because we saw his taxes.
And the kicker, $500 Billion MORE to the Pentagon
But health care is "unaffordable"πŸ™„

Paramount Skydance’s Takeover of Warner Bros. Is Bad News for Workers, Consumers and Free Expression The idea that Paramount should be allowed to control CBS and CNN should be unthinkable, especially given its track record of turning the Tiffany Network into a trash heap.

Call me crazy, but I think the US Surgeon General should be an educated & licensed practicing physician, not someone who shills vitamins under the guise of 'holistic treatment'.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

"The 45-second film, made around 1897, was the first appearance on film of what might be called a robot"

BREAKING: The DOJ has explained there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for dozens of Epstein files related to Donald Trump going missing. That reason is if they didn't go missing, they would incriminate Donald Trump.
