The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates.

“I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.

key thing we learned from Virginia campaign

Republicans are freaked the fuck out about accountability

Not just Trump, all of them - including their billionaires, like Thiel

They fear what's coming when Dems win - and Dems need to be ruthless about it

Virginia Dems just won a major battle in Trump's redistricting war Voters don't like gerrymandering. But they seem to hate Trump even more.

Virginia Dems just won a major battle in Trump's redistricting war

A thing I just learned: the head of the UK division of Palantir Technologies is the grandson of notorious British Union of Fascists leader Oswald Mosley.

A pro-Iran hacking group that has been relentlessly targeting American companies with DDoS attacks claims it disrupted Bluesky with what the social media site called a “sophisticated” attack that “intensified” on Thursday.

Iran going after Bsky is a genuinely funny waste of resources.

Remember: Republicans started this shit. They thought Democrats would just roll over. This is what it looks like when Dems decide to fight.

The theory of the case -- that the SPLC defrauded donors by promising to "dismantle" hate groups while secretly paying informants inside said hate groups, a tactic that it has carried out for nearly half a century -- is completely absurd.

The Justice Dept’s theory of the case— that the group that single-handedly disassembled the Ku Klux Klan defrauded its donors by concealing that it was using paid informant to do that work and more— has about as much merit as the now-dismissed charges against Jim Comey.

Listen and watch as Russia tries to further poison Moldova, Georgia and the Baltics with their colonialist agenda.

Kash Patel google “COINTELPRO” or “Operation Flex” I dare you

Everyone who fights against white supremacy is a target of Trump's DOJ.

The current DOJ is just a legal Ku Klux Klan.

Southern Poverty Law Center says it’s being “targeted” by the Trump administration FBI Director Kash Patel previously said the bureau was severing ties with the civil rights group.

SPLC pays informants who infiltrate white supremacy groups. They used to share this info w/ FBI.

TPUSA (before Kirk was murdered) was worried that the SPLC would target them.

Maybe some Wealthy MAGA White Nationals &/ir White Supremacists are worried tgry'll be exposed?
