Australia fought back against Murdoch. Your turn, America. What's the future of the aging mogul's global empire? Look to the place where it all began.

Murdoch once enjoyed kingmaker status in Aussie politics. No longer.

As I watch Murdoch newscasters lose their shit, great to reread our 2024 piece by Sean Kelly about how the mogul's downunder empire is increasingly out of touch with... actual Australians.

A graphic with a drawing of wealthy men using hammers to destroy stones that spell “Social Security”. The red text caption says, “The only way our Social Security system’s enemies can attack us is by undermining confidence in the system. SOCIAL SECURITY WORKS.”

Musk and Trump have fired thousands of the employees who made sure Social Security’s benefits have been paid in full and on time for nearly a century.

Cuts to customer service = Social Security cuts!

Maryland Sen. Van Hollen meets with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador amid court fight over US return Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen has met in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man who was sent there by the Trump administration in March despite an immigration court order preventing his deportation.

BREAKING: Senator meets with Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador amid court fight over his return to U.S. after mistaken deportation.

Van Hollen says that he asked the VP of El Salvador why his government continues to hold Abrego Garcia even though he’s not charged with any crime and there’s no evidence that he’s MS-13.

“His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT”

Man charged with arson at Pennsylvania governor's home struggled with mental health, brother says Investigators are working to uncover the motive behind an arson fire over the weekend at Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s mansion, the latest act of political violence in the U.S.

Yesterday, we sent a historically big message to Trump, Musk, and the GOP — and we also sent a signal to all those who agree with us but have spent the last few months feeling shaken, hopeless, and afraid. #handsoff

Trump Bid to Take Over Postal Service Could Threaten Mail Voting Read more here.

Trump’s pending USPS executive order could potentially allow his administration to make mail voting more difficult.

Trudeau: "We're probably gonna keep booing the American anthem. But let me tell Americans: we're not booing you ... we're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us. And we're insulted ... we're gonna fight. And we're gonna win."

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has jumped the shark:

It may not be efficient to have a government agency devoted to efficiency that does not have a known administrator or any mechanism for accountability.

I guess one Herbert Hoover was not enough. Now we have to experience a crazy, conspiracy theory version in Kash Patel.

It’s extra important for your GOP senator to hear from you right now if you’re in one of these states.

Call your senators and tell them to vote NO on Kash Patel’s nomination for FBI director: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

There is Edward Kelley, who was pardoned for assaulting police at the U.S. Capitol, but who is now fighting another case. In November, a jury convicted him of conspiring to murder the Federal Bureau of Investigation agents who investigated his Jan. 6 participation, with evidence showing he had a “kill list” of targets. Kelley now argues that conviction should be tossed out, too. The Tennessee man believes that President Trump’s blanket pardon covering “offenses related to events that occurred at or near” the Capitol on Jan. 6 extends beyond that day. Other defendants are similarly arguing they should be absolved of other alleged crimes, such as illegal gun possession and child pornography, discovered during Jan. 6 investigations. At least one defendant has died in a post-pardon altercation with police.

Jan. 6 rioters pardoned by Trump say it should absolve their child-porn charges, too www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

DOGE worker says he was radicalized by reading writer who denied Holocaust In a since-deleted Substack post, a member of Elon Musk's team praised an essay by Ron Unz—who has since called the Holocaust potentially a "hoax" and said Trayvon Martin was "a violent young thug."

SCOOP w/ @jacobrosenberg.bsky.social for @motherjones.com : A DOGE worker wrote in a recently deleted Substack post that he was radicalized by reading a writer who has denied the Holocaust, boosted 9/11 conspiracy theories, & platformed anti-Black racism.

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

I can't wait to see what Judge Dale Ho does with this gobsmacking dismissal request of the Eric Adams case. Hopefully we will get news on Monday of a hearing date.

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Chutkan is holding a hearing on state AGs' effort to stop Elon Musk and DOGE's entire government operation.

Lawyer for NM says Musk is a "literal wrecking ball"

Chutkan is skeptical of urgency of an immediate restraining order.

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case.

Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Will Bove find a corrupt DOJ lawyer to dismiss the Eric Adams case today? Or will the Thursday Night Massacre transform into the Valentine's Day rebellion w/ more resignations? No lawyer with any sense should try to defend the dismissal before Judge Ho unless they enjoy judicial flagellation.

Technically, since they resigned rather than follow a corrupt and unethical order by Bove, it should be more accurately called a rebellion.

Some of the grifter J6 lawyers were really bad so if they wound up at DOJ, they would probably lose every case they brought. Picture Brad Geyer at DOJ. ROFL.

Yeah, the "go fuck yourself, traitor" quote that you provided earlier from FBI and DOJ to Emil Bove should be loud and clear by now. #GFYT Now, the big question is: what will the judge do?

All the ethical DOJ attorneys who resigned today because they would not go along with corrupt and illegal orders basically all said the same thing to Emil Bove: Go fuck yourself, traitor. #GFYT
