This is thorough and merciless and more applicable to American domestic affairs than you might expect. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...
This week the Senate is going to vote on Joshua Rudd to be Director of the NSA. He's a dangerous nominee to lead an agency with a history of abusing domestic surveillance capabilities. Here's why:
holy shit
Tell us what you “overhear”
Presidents don’t control oil prices, but the delicious irony about the “I did this” Biden stickers at gas stations is that oil prices would be about $60-$65 a barrel if Trump didn’t start a war with Iran. Today they are around $80 per barrel and climbing. So yeah, Trump “did this” 😂
USA Track and Field has and will continue to be a joke forever. Doing everything they can to destroy the sport
I guess we are just paying these people to fly around making workout videos and attending sporting events.

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

Quick round up:
- the government is covering up evidence the president is a pedophile

👍👍👍
The idea that the Court should operate entirely in secret is a modern phenomenon. The idea that the Court should be separated from the public is a modern phenomenon. Earlier generations did not accept a powerful, isolated & secretive Court and we shouldn't either 1/6

“Unconscionable,” Jon thought as he found an email address online for the lead prosecutor, Joseph Dernbach, who was named in the story. Peering through metal-rimmed glasses, Jon opened Gmail on his computer monitor. “Mr. Dernbach, don’t play Russian roulette with H’s life,” he wrote. “Err on the side of caution. There’s a reason the US government along with many other governments don’t recognise the Taliban. Apply principles of common sense and decency.” That was it. In five minutes, Jon said, he finished the note, signed his first and last name, pressed send and hoped his plea would make a difference. Five hours and one minute later, Jon was watching TV with his wife when an email popped up in his inbox. He noticed it on his phone. “Google,” the message read, “has received legal process from a Law Enforcement authority compelling the release of information related to your Google Account.”
A retiree wrote this email to a DHS attorney. Within five hours, DHS demanded Google turn over records for his account.

"The population of CBP agents and officers who have been arrested would make it roughly the nation’s fourth largest police department — equal to the size of the entire Philadelphia police.
2005-2024 — the last year numbers are available — at least 4,913 CBP officers and agents have been arrested"
If you’ve ever wondered what you’d do when the Nazis started taking over, guess what:
It’s what you’re doing right now.
"Political appointees in the clicktatorship are not just using online platforms as a mode of communication. Their judgment and decision making are hyper-responsive to what’s happening on the far-right internet. They view everything as content."

I actually believe this because they don’t want to do anything that might impede the enjoyment of the elites in attendance.
GOP is just a bunch of pathetic racists

Do you know how hard it is to get cops to seemingly side with people shot by a bunch of officers
