Lieu said the files contain allegations of trump raping children.

Yet trump hasn't sued Lieu for defamation. Guess discovery could be a problem.

how ironic to see the state protect two people who sought to strip the state while working under the direction of elon musk, who has made it impossible to seek recourse when people get death threats and harassment on twitter

Concern About Government Censorship of Independent War Coverage I am writing as a constituent to express my concern about reports that members of the current administration, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, have publicly criticized and attempted to pressure journalists to frame coverage of the war with Iran in more “patriotic” terms. Regardless of one’s political views about the conflict itself, attempts by government officials to influence or shape independent news coverage raise serious constitutional and democratic concerns. A free and independent press is not optional during wartime—it is essential. Throughout American history, from Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan, the ability of journalists to report facts, question official narratives, and hold leaders accountable has been fundamental to democratic oversight. Encouraging the media to replace neutral or critical reporting with messaging designed to promote a government narrative risks blurring the line between independent journalism and state propaganda. Members of Congress have a critical role in defending the constitutional protections that underpin our democracy, including the freedom of the press guaranteed by the First Amendment. I urge you to publicly reaffirm the importance of independent journalism and to ensure that federal officials do not use their positions to intimidate or pressure news organizations into favorable coverage. Even during times of national conflict—especially during those times—our institutions must remain committed to transparency, accountability, and the free exchange of information. Thank you for your time and for your service to our district/state. I appreciate your attention to this matter and hope you will take steps to uphold and defend the independence of the American press.

Short-term pain?

You mean like the product prices that skyrocketed during COVID?

And how many of those prices dropped once the emergency was past?

Exactly.

Promising future corporations will give up profits is more of a fairy tale than Disney ever spun

Gaming talk: I love when scholars hint at being roleplayers. For example: this article on the possibility of tracking the movements of individual Viking warbands on both sides of the English channel goes out of its way to point out "hey, by the way, there's this warband's mass grave found in 2008 that consists of individuals from Russia, the Baltic states, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and north of the Arctic Circle"--the subtext *obviously* (I'll hear no counterargument, thank you) being "hey, your party of Viking PCs has historical justification for coming from anywhere in Northern Europe, so go wild when you're writing your PC's background. Make them whatever you want them to be. The more variety in the party of PCs, the better and the more historically accurate!"
