Calvin Duncan wins Orleans clerk of court race - Verite News New Orleans Duncan, a political newcomer and former prisoner, defeated incumbent Darren Lombard by a wide margin in Saturday's runoff.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:

Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.

So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

If they're hot three is easy!

Opinion | Trump Is Wrong About Fentanyl in Almost Every Way Everything the Trump administration is doing to stop the flow of drugs is just making the problem worse.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

President Trump wants us to believe that stopping fentanyl “will let the wholesome, traditional American culture that he idealizes to flourish again,” David Herzberg writes. “As a historian of drugs, I can tell you that this argument is wrong in almost every way.”

This is a better answer than I gave on The Source to @kaitlancollins.bsky.social last night.

Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ.

It's a surreal--and troubling--read.

Demon Donald is dodging the Epstein questions by taking another taxpayer funded weekend golf vacation at his property in Florida, where he trafficked young women for decades.

TRUMP: We’re going to give Americans the money to buy health insurance

REPORTER: But won’t they buy it from
Insurance companies?

TRUMP: Ahhh. Some may. I mean they’ll be negotiating prices

After Ghislaine Maxwell lied to Todd Blanche, someone waived her sex offender status and moved her to Club Fed with "OUT" custody - allowing her to work outside the prison walls. 3 months ago, I got her Bureau of Prisons points screen as proof. We still don't know who approved all this.

I know SCOTUS literally already said that it was open season on any kind of Brown folk but this is another in "the irony of the error proves the stupidity of the whole entire concept".

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

As @rbreich.bsky.social notes billionaires and their families own X, Paramount, CBS, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, the Washington Post, Amazon, MGM, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and New York Post, and could soon own Warner Bros and CNN

And they are all Trump supporters

"Liberal media" indeed

“I Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.

We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua.

Senator in 2010 deposition: 13-year-olds can consent to sex U.S. Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma testified as part of a civil case into an alleged sexual assault at the Baptist church camp he oversaw that he believed a 13-year-old can consent to sex.

Just throwing this out there for reasons

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

From: Sent: To: Subject: H <hrod17@clintonemail.com> Friday, August 28, 2009 4:39 PM verveerms@state.gov' Noori Ali Do you recall Noori Ali(?), the ten year. old Yemeni girl who got herself divorced? I met her at the Glamour awards last year. There was a CNN story last few days about how unhappy she is, still living at home, not attending school and quite angry that her life is not better. Is there any way we can help her? Could we get her to the US for counselling and education?

Meanwhile, here's an example of the horrendous things found in Hillary Clinton's emails—the only story worth covering for any serious news outlet in 2016, apparently.

This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.

Breaking….

The America First guy has brought in 566 foreign workers during his 5 years in office to work at his companies instead of hiring Americans. And counting.

A black-and-white photo of Trump & Epstein in suits standing close together at what appears to be a party, with Trump holding two children in front of him while the Epstein holds a drink.

NPR reported this morning that, based on their review of the #Epstein emails released yesterday, Trump’s name appeared more than 1,000 times in the document—

"I have met some very bad people, none as bad as #Trump. Not one decent cell in his body." - Jeffrey Epstein

About half of what it was going to cost to fully fund SNAP in November during the shutdown.

Not that it matters anymore, but it’s important to point out that the White House did more to try and stop the release of the Epstein Files than to try and end the shutdown.

Lutnick is the current Secretary of Commerce and Epstein sent this email three months before he died.

It’s Time to Pivot to 2026 Election Security Don’t underestimate how Trump and his allies will attempt to control the outcome of the midterms.

"The Trump team will also certainly attempt to rig the midterm elections while falsely claiming the elections are rigged against Trump. They have already begun."

thinking about how i get anxious writing emails because i don't want to sound like a moron while larry summers is apparently typing emails like this:

u kno she dint want to talk tomorrow. make me bad pheel.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

Since this administration loves to charge people with making false statements (see, e.g., Comey, James), I assume they will be charging Maxwell for lying to Blanche and the FBI agents who interviewed her, right?
