"You are a transformative president" -- I regret to inform you that Mark Carney is kissing Trump's ass

SCOTUS declined to hear an appeal by former Locke Lord partner Mark Scott who sought to overturn his conviction tied to a nearly $400 million fraudulent cryptocurrency scheme. Scott was found guilty in 2019 for his role in the OneCoin fraud reut.rs/4pXjoOn

Think about this: at nearly the same time, Pam Bondi was refusing to answer whether the FBI had images of Trump and young girls obtained from Jeffrey Epstein’s safe, and Mike Johnson was refusing to answer when he would swear in Adelina Grijalva, who would be the 218th vote for the Epstein petition.

Thank you, Bjørn! They look really nice, plus they are made 'repairable ad infinitum and to last for generations' - obiously a great choice! 👍 May they accompany you on many more fantastic hikes and always keep you safe!

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

Cops misled journalists about using a powerful surveillance tool to track a woman across state lines because she had an abortion, then tried to cover it up when we found out the truth. Huge story from @jasonkoebler.bsky.social and @josephcox.bsky.social this morning: www.404media.co/police-said-...

Bondi is alternating between attacking Democratic senator when they ask her tough questions and punting them to Kash Patel (even though she's his boss)

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.

His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.

This is now very obvious.

...and with new hiking boots?
Great pic!

Feel free to attribute the following to a former OMB General Counsel: The supposed "new legal analysis" is, to use a technical legal term, horseshit. What the law actually says is that when Congress enacts a law ending a lapse, furloughed employees get paid at the earliest date possible. Period.

The entire administration is "new legal analysis."

Is the President a King? Yes, according to new legal analysis. Can we fire civil servants, impound funds and eliminate agencies? *Touches earpiece* Yes, according to new legal analysis.

The shame is that SCOTUS has gone along with much of this.

Trump’s Own Tweet on Portland Backfires as Judge Deals Him Harsh Loss As a judge’s blunt ruling blocks Trump from deploying troops in Portland, Oregon’s Attorney General tells us in an interview that Trump’s lawless threats are working against him—and discusses what com...

Trump's tweet that Portland is "war ravaged" just backfired. A Trump-picked judge cited it in blocking National Guard deployment to Portland, declaring him "untethered from facts."

On the pod, Oregon AG Dan Rayfield illuminatingly explains the ruling and what's next:

Texas National Guard arrives in the Chicago area Texas National Guard members have arrived in Illinois. City and state officials say Donald Trump is using them as “political props” in Chicago.

The Texas National Guard has arrived in the Chicago area despite the repeated objections of Illinois officials.

Madagascar president appoints army general as PM to defuse protests Madagascar’s President Andry Rajoelina on Monday named an army general as prime minister in a bid to calm growing unrest over his rule. Security forces fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of protester...

Background:
In the latest of youth-led marches, security forces dispersed hundreds of demonstrators w/tear gas in M's capital Antananarivo, injuring at least one.
The protests started on Sep 25 and were sparked by anger against persistent water and power cuts in the impoverished Indian Ocean island.

Before you DARE speak about any violence in Chicago
look into your mirror
and address the violence coming from the White House"...

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Something deeply surreal about American media simply giving up on covering global warming seriously just as sea surface temperature rise goes vertical. We all know what Bari Weiss guidance to CBS on this will be!

This is an awesome ‘Ted Talk’ by AOC on our current situation… 💙

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Reminder that we still don’t know what happened to the 1,000 immigrants who went missing from Alligator Alcatraz.

Their families and attorneys can’t locate them.

They’ve been disappeared.

People are still being sent to that horrible place without any due process.

Same shit, different hat.

"Die Immersivierung von Geschichte und Politik [..] produziert trügerische Eindeutigkeiten. [..] Wo, wenn nicht in [Berlin], böte sich Gelegenheit zu bedenken, dass die Ästhetisierung von Gewalt und die Instrumentalisierung von Traumata in der Vergangenheit schon einmal verheerend waren?
