Ukrainian hackers disrupted a closed-door meeting at Russia’s Ministry of Industry and Trade and made a recording.

With the leak to the NYT of their internal notes to each other, I hope the conservative justices on SCOTUS are currently *very* paranoid about talking to each other. Because at least one of them is (or has staff who is) indiscreet and disloyal.

Keep looking over your shoulders, fascists!

This Saturday may be the most embarrassing moment in the history of the White House press corps. I’ll be talking about this all week. Here are my thoughts today. Full show: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:

When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

Palantir's CEO published a manifesto arguing Western tech firms have a "moral debt" to US military dominance, that AI weapons are inevitable, and that "some cultures are dysfunctional." This isn't just a regularly evil tech or defence contractor, it’s a fascist political project.

FRIENDS: Tomorrow is Election Day in Virginia! Polls are open from 6AM-7PM.

Vote YES on redistricting to put the power of drawing districts back in the hands of the people — not politicians. Fight fire with fire, and protect fair representation.

Your vote is the firewall! 💙🗳️

#VoteYesVirginia

So...three women (deservedly) fired in an administration where several of the male members of the cabinet & sr. admin members (not to mention the president) are the worst ever in history at their jobs & it's not even close. (RFK, Jr., Hegseth, and Kash top the list and should be ousted instantly.)

Exclusive: ICE Glasses Homeland Security is making “smart glasses” to collect intelligence inside the U.S.

When will the media just accept that Trump’s war “news” is simply market manipulation for his insider trading buddies?

PSA: For those of you who need to vote via absentee ballot I suggest dropping it off at the nearest county clerk rather than trust the postal service this year.. I heard there's shenanigans going on with that..

If you live in Virginia, tomorrow you have a huge opportunity to make it clear to the GOP that if they want to win, it won’t be by changing the rules and redrawing maps. At least, not without a fight. Vote YES on the redistricting vote, and push back!

The president of the United States has labeled more than half the country traitors.

This isn’t just a rant. This is setting up a call for action on his part.

The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated.”

—Justice Robert H. Jackson, Chief American Prosecutor, Nuremberg, 1946

We need a lot less of all of these private schools and more free public child care, kindergartners, grade schools, high schools and universities, a less costly military & more free education!

If you purchased an auto in the last year, you paid thousands more for that vehicle in the USA because of tariffs. Even if it was made in the USA. Those auto companies passed those taxes onto you. You paid as much as 10% more. Now they are going to get 10% back in their pockets. WTH! NOT YOU!

If they don't have the same rules for Donald Trump as they do Eric Swalwell, this isn't about accountability.
You may want to let them know this.

John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption

Assuming Kash's lawsuit gets past the motion to dismiss stage, the DISCOVERY in this case is going to be WILD.

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.

Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.

The system is rigged.

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.

He only cared about ONE thing...how it looked on TV. Enough has been said regarding the impossible healing job...not enough said about the depravity it takes to kill your followers to make good television.

It's always a "mystery"

Ossof for president. Interesting part of this biography is that: he was:

'Mentored by civil rights legend Congressman John Lewis, Sen. Ossoff previously led a small business that produced investigative journalism exposing war crimes, public corruption, human trafficking, and organized crime'. 👍

russians attempted to assassinate an aide to the Minister of Defence using a guided Shahed drone.
This is not the first time russians have targeted the apartments of Ukrainian figures in defence, science, and culture at night using Shahed drones.

Trump has been manipulating the Stock market for personal gain for 15 months.
Ist tariffs, now war.
I want the next Congress to skewer his ass. Take every dime he and his asshole kids have stolen from us.
The Hague will be very busy.

How about a mail-in protest?

200 million of us mail in our request for tariff tax refunds at the consumer level.

Meanwhile, ICE has not slowed down. They are just going about it quietly, which means the violence we saw before was performative, encouraged & unnecessary.
