And it’s only going to get worse from here

"Part of the reason the weaponization work has been difficult is that you need people who are MAGA and who are really competent," said Chad Mizelle, former chief of staff for Bondi. "Many career prosecutors are not interested in this kind of work. It's a very small group of people."

From @paulareidcnn.bsky.social and other @cnn.com folks:

Virginia! Today is the last day to vote in the redistricting referendum.

Make sure to vote YES.

You can find your polling location at IWillVote.com/VA.

I disagree. I think they voted for all of this, they just thought they’d be special and not be eaten by the leopards they empowered.

The only companies who should get refunds are the ones who didn’t pass the costs on to the consumers, and if they only partially did so then they should only get a refund on the part they didn’t pass on.

Anything else is just theft.

Well, it’s “failed” in that Thune didn’t bring it to a vote, yet. He might still do it after the November elections.

Even with tariffs, this car would sell like hot cakes. They’re not allowed in the US because the auto industry knows they can’t compete.

I’ve said for a long time there’s only one person who can carry the MAGA mantle, and if Tucker decides to run he will win that vote.

Tucker Carlson belongs in jail

“Played a role”

This mfer acting like he didn’t do everything he could to get The Felon elected. No amount of distancing going to change how much effort he put into that, imo.

Health insurance should be about health, not profits.

I’m old enough to remember when Republicans hated gerrymandering along with Democrats. Problem has always been neither party actually hates it when it favors them.

If CBS is trying to appeal to a political audience, they have lost the plot. NEWS isn’t supposed to biased to appeal to anyone.

And of all the people to try this with, the center is the only segment where this tactic will fail. Centrists, by definition, reject bias lmao

Ken Paxton belongs in jail.

Conspiracy theory I 100% believe is true: there is a vast right wing conspiracy (against democracy).

I dunno. I think we were all better off before smartphones made us stupid.

Our vote exists so we have a say in the welfare of the US, it is not about having a say in the welfare of any other country.

Anyone who uses their vote for the welfare of any other country is a fucking idiot.

Happy birthday!

Companies that do layoffs should get $0 tax breaks.

The scream I scrumpt when I just saw my cat pawing at this sucker.

You’re roughly half human.

Your body is more bacteria than human 🦠

You carry ~38 trillion bacterial cells
vs ~30 trillion human cells

That means you are only ~43% human by cell count.

You’re not just one organism.
You’re an ecosystem.

Indeed.

The new report on FBI Director Kash Patel cites more than TWO DOZEN sources describing his leadership as a “management failure” and national security risk.

The White House and DOJ didn’t deny the allegations, but deflected.

Patel was the only one who issued a direct rebuttal.

That speaks volumes.

I can understand EU wanting to wait on Ukraine full membership until the war is over, but Ukraine started this process years ago and they’re already at the time-point other countries were for full membership.

Yikes! Why so hostile?

We all know how this one will go

Aye. I make it a point not to interact with any post linking to substack because of this very fact.

It’s a good idea, but I wonder if he knows that Substack is part of the same “parallel media” operation as X & that Musk ally Marc Andreessen has funded both of them? To be fair, I don’t think most people know this (yet). 1/

Plato is too woke, apparently 🤦‍♀️
