Trump DOJ offers a deferred prosecution agreement to Halkbank, the Turkish state-run bank charged with laundering billions in Iranian oil money.
Trump repeatedly tried to end this case in his first termβper John Bolton, as a favor to one of the "dictators he liked" (i.e. Erdogan).

International Womenβs Day did not begin as a celebration. It began as unrest. Women striking in factories, suffragists beaten in the streets, workers demanding dignity and the vote. History keeps trying to polish it into something more comfortable. Its origins were anything but.
that the Trump administration is trying to shut down a leading AI company because itβs unwilling to develop autonomous murder systems is terrifying, and should be of grave concern to everyone in the world
The upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court election could be critical for voting rights, but it has had a lower profile compared to previous races. A recent poll found that 93 percent of voters in the state have heard βlittleβ or βnothingβ about it.
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
So your logic is that we can assign properties to anything if we donβt understand how those properties work?
Thatβs the opposite of rational thought.
I donβt see an obvious path to improving the team by trading him. Certainly not for this year.
Iβm old enough to remember that it really helped Obama to defeat Clinton in the primary when he could say he voted against the war (and she had voted for it). He was a longshot candidate at the time.
Wow, the Dem primary turnout among Hispanic voters in Texas is going to be giving the GOP sweats for the next 8 months.
Take Zapata County - turnout in the Dem primary there yesterday was 143% the total number of votes Harris won in the 2024 general election. That's wild.
Thanks for the thoughtful answer as always.
How can anyone root for this team knowing the ownership isnβt going to try and make it better? This is it. This is as good as theyβll get.
I hear people say Dead Cap money is never a problem for the Eagles, but this year theyβll have $36M in Dead Cap for Huff, Slay, and Bradberry & likely canβt afford to sign 3 of their top free agents. Or are those unrelated because theyβre not re-signing them because of cap space but to not overpay?
Probably. Itβs pretty easy to set up AI agents to take a topic, write an outline, turn that into an article, then write a headline, and post it. Itβs not easy for them to do any of that in a high quality or interesting way, but itβs fast and cheap.
@jimmykempski.bsky.social maybe this is a mailbag question not Bluesky, but: I hear people say Dead Cap money is never a problem for the Eagles, but this year theyβll have $36M in Dead Cap for Huff, Slay, and Bradberry & likely canβt afford to sign 3 of their top free agents. Or are those unrelated?
If I bump into you at the local supermarket again, donβt freak out if someone (quietly and respectfully) calls you that.
Finally someone I can talk to about this! First syllable with five choices right?
1. Just the first syllable - βToc, Rexβ
2. Add a βyβ or βieβ - βJonesyβ
3. Add βerβ - βSimmerβ
4. Add βsβ - βProngsβ
5. Add βsyβ - βCartsyβ
Any missing?

So sad to share that legendary colorist Tatjana Wood has passed away at the age of 99. Her pioneering painterly touch graced scores of DC & Vertigo series. She was truly one of a kind and a special friend. May her memory be a blessing.
By the way, if you're in TV or film, have pitched Warner or Paramount or really any studio, & believe that the Warner-Paramount deal will harm your ability to work or diminish your pay, go to this website and share your story. That's the evidence needed for a state AG case:

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Better than any of the AI movies posted this past week. Drama > Effects. (I know itβs a parody, but you want to see more donβt you? I didnβt care to see another frame of the Spidey or Brad Pitt vs Tom Cruise AI)
People who want power but have no values or integrity imitate others they perceive as powerful. When a reality show entertainer is the one in power these people imitate entertainers. The problem is without any humanity, they have no idea what is entertaining.
You know that thing is never getting finished, right?
Iβm feeling safer for the mid-terms
