The Iranian government’s depiction of LEGO Kash Patel is lit.

Bet Iran is really shaking in their boots when Witkoff & Kushner walk up to the table in their Tom Ford sunglasses & Gucci loafers. A fresh botox on the boy wonder as if to say ‘this time I mean business..’ Stevie rocking the Patek Philippe projecting ‘don’t fuck with me’ vibes.

Very well done. The majority of us would be spitting, sputtering and cursing!

I had the opportunity to confront Pete Hegseth's bigoted spiritual mentor, Pastor Doug Wilson, and call him out on his history of hate, his misreading of the Bible, his hijacking of Jesus, and his cosplay Crusading.

It was worth it.

Turns out the phrase “America First” is preceded by the words “Sell Out.”

Spike Lee is sitting courtside at the Knicks game in a Pope Leo jersey.

Shoutout to The Atlantic reporters for publishing these massive scoops instead of waiting years to put them in a book.

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!

So lovely!

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

In 2022, SpaceX was charged with illegally firing workers who spoke out against Elon Musk.

Then, Elon Musk helped elect Donald Trump, and Trump's labor board dropped the charges.

Was this a political favor? I'm pressing for answers.

Well, at least the BBC is covering this.

Jeffries on Kash Patel: "We have to stop putting all the blame on the people who nominated this incompetent, toxic, malignant individual. What about the people who confirmed him? It's extraordinary to me that Senate Republican confirmed people like Noem, Bondi, Hegseth, RFK Jr, and Patel."

Very serious point here — media vastly overreport what Trump says rather than clarifying for the reader the actual strategic situation.

Opinion | New Hungarian PM says government was funding CPAC but won’t anymore “I believe the state should never have financed them in the first place,” Péter Magyar said this week. “It was a crime.”

Not enough people are talking about this.

Hungary’s incoming PM has said that Viktor Orbán used Hungarian government funds to help finance CPAC, the flagship networking event for GOP candidates, members of Congress, and conservative media in this country.

Kash Patel’s feelings got hurt, so now he’s suing for $250 million. The Atlantic published a story last week citing more than two dozen sources alleging that the FBI Director has been showing up drunk, missing meetings,

Of note.

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

When Jeffrey Clark testifies tomorrow, I hope @schiff.senate.gov puts up this giant picture of him and asks "so what was going on here?"

The media blackout of Jared Kushner’s historic, ongoing corruption scandal As Trump's son-in-law returns to Pakistan for more talks with Iran, major news outlets are largely ignoring an egregious conflict of interest.

1. As Jared Kushner heads to Pakistan to represent the United States in critical talks with Iran, the media is ignoring a historic corruption scandal.

Kushner is serving in this role while on the payroll of the Saudi government.

Let's look at the data.
