Opinion | The Justice Department Wants to Make It Safe for Government Lawyers to Lie

Too much to keep track of, but don't sleep on AG Bondi's new proposed rule that would let DOJ lawyers avoid key ethics checks that prohibit lying to court. Ratcheting up the assault on courts & the reality-based world at the same time. Mine in today's NYT. (Gift Link)

1. The article specifically mentioned the goal was to deploy them from surface craft off the coast.

2. Do you not remember the massive drone op in Russia where Ukrainian drones were smuggled in on box trucks and deployed from in country?

The GOP is aggressively becoming more Nazi every day, literally sharing talking points, conspiracy theories, and supporting people who love Hitler, but we keep treating them like a normal party, and you have some Democrats who still preach civility and bipartisanship.

Amazing.

Sen. John Cornyn flips on the filibuster to pass SAVE America Act as Trump weighs endorsement Cornyn, who spent years defending the filibuster, is locked in a competitive GOP runoff in Texas against Ken Paxton, who has aligned with Trump on the issue.

After Cornyn and Paxton were forced into a runoff, I said we should watch just how far Senator Cornyn is willing to put his head up trump's ass for his endorsement. Now he's flipping on the filibuster to pass the SAVE Act and disenfranchise millions of voters. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

I study fascism. I’ve already fled America. On this week’s “More To The Story,” former Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains his recent move to Canada and calls the Trump administration’s takeover of the US government a “coup.”

Jason Stanley isn’t afraid to use the F-word when talking about President Donald Trump.

The author of How Fascism Works is clear: He believes the United States is currently under an authoritarian regime led by a fascist leader.

According to Ticktin, others involved with the effort surrounding the draft order include Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser who twice pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI before receiving a sweeping pardon from Trump in December 2020; Patrick Byrne, the former Overstock.com CEO and prominent election skeptic; and Stefanie Lambert, an attorney who is awaiting trial in Michigan over allegations that she illegally accessed voting tabulators in an attempt to prove that the 2020 election was stolen. Both Flynn and Byrne have repeatedly and publicly advocated for Trump to declare a
national emergency ahead of the upcoming election.

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

Palantir for Hospitals Palantir for Hospitals is powering nurse scheduling, nurse staffing, transfer center optimization, discharge management, and other critical workflows for over 15% of the U.S. healthcare system.

There are hospitals/health systems that have contracts with Palantir, which also contracts with ICE - this is a major ethical conflict and risk to patient data.

Exclusive: U.S. dismissed Ukraine deal for anti-Iran drone tech last year Snubbing Ukraine's offer ranks as one of the U.S.'s biggest tactical miscalculations before the war, officials say.

Unbelievable and all too believable. We are led by incompetent, narrow-minded idiots, and so many people pay a high price for that. Sometimes a price as high as their lives.

While Trump launches us into a new forever war, he’s quietly preparing to take over our elections at home and rig the midterms in his favor.

He knows he can’t win on the merits, so he’s preparing to cheat. We won’t let him get away with it.
