Jane Roberts was paid more than $10 million by a host of elite law firms, a whistleblower alleges.
At least one of those firms argued a case at the Supreme Court after paying hundreds of thousands of dollars.

HUGE WIN! H.R. 1897 the bill that would have gutted Endangered Species Act protections for threatened and endangered species has been pulled from today’s House floor vote. Your calls and pressure worked. Thank you for speaking up.
At first glance, this seems equivalent to Nixon having conversations with the portraits of former presidents at the White House.
Except, this also fits well with how much attention he's been giving to his legacy: ballroom, arch, Kennedy center, battleship class, and now, Rosebud.
The starting point: how is child sexual abuse represented in the arts, if indeed it is represented at all?
Looking for ourselves in books, films, plays, visual arts, and music is a human thing. We look outward as ways of looking inward.We look outward to reflect upon our own lives and experiences.
📌A staggering 96% of the contributions spent on Virginia’s referendum vote Tuesday came from dark money.
Proof again that Citizens United has done more to wreck our democracy than anything before or since.
IT MUST GO.
just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down
This joke is not up to the Onion's usual hilarity. It's far too personal.
WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?
KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed

Hopefully, he'll switch again to become a prisoner.
Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!
Do not stop talking about the Epstein files!
CEOs aren't accustomed to much public scrutiny, partly cuz businesses aren't democracies, info is controlled tightly. So when they venture outside that bubble, they expect the same. They don't often make good politicians. Remember that when ppl say govt should be run more like a business.
"Elon Musk cooked his brain online. Marc Andreessen and others seemingly struggled with being in virtual spaces where their ideas and status were challenged, and rewired their political beliefs as a form of cope."
Good deep dive into tech broligarchy madness:
The hit of déjà vu Sprinkled with nostalgia I think of the first time At six years old On the babysitter's swingset Taken aback with confusion Like living in a movie That's been rewound To the details This has happened before Now, it's a mission of curiosity Wanting to step outside the skin And turn around to see it lived Wanting to go deeper To see the workings of the machine Wondering if I missed something The first time around Frenzied like time's running out A waking dream With a message to decrypt J.

Any candidate that takes money from Palantir should not receive your vote.
Co-founder Joe Lonsdale is pouring millions into a PAC to buy off Democrats, especially in California.

Trump always speaks of 'the country' or in this case, NY, when he means himself.
Not Your Average Liberal @NotAvgLiberal Just read it. Spot On - An Aussie reply to Trump’s rant about ‘NATO not being there for us’: “Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
Wow. Check out this Aussie telling it like it is.

I LOVE THIS GUY
Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:
Alphabet: 8.01%

Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%

This is what a rigged system looks like.
"A tool for reindustrialization". Are these dopes still thinking mfg jobs are coming back?
I was in 3rd grade, I think, when an older boy (not my abuser), maybe in 7th or 8th grade, stroked his fingers under my chin and made some comment about my lips. Most of my memories of childhood are wiped, but this shit, like every bad memory sticks.
"the nation’s deadliest mass shooting in more than two years"
Let that sink in for a bit. Only two years, not decades

Maybe this entire shitshow is market manipulation.
Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?
