James Bond supervillains threaten to blow up the world with their big laser unless you pay them a trillion dollars.

Real American supervillains embed themselves in the economy and threaten to cause a depression unless you subsidize their sex robots and the weird chatbots they use to avoid humans.

Utterly ludicrous framing from @nytimes.com here, treating Pete Hegseth's arguments as if they're legitimate. The casual reader will be left with no inkling whatsoever of how unusual and corrupt an abuse of the process this truly is:

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

Interesting. Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers says she will plead the fifth if forced to testify to Congress. But she willingly sat down with Todd Blanche? What a load of horseshit. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

It appears she will only cooperate with Trump’s former criminal defense attorneys behind closed doors, but nobody else.

If Congress will not pass a resolution condemning Trump’s unhinged calls for the imprisonment and execution of elected officials, they’re essentially giving him permission to keep pushing for political violence.

Notice any through line from the 1980’s to today? Trump hasn’t changed. He’s just as bad.

Bovino: "How does that governor know what the criminal record is of that individual hanging Christmas lights? Oftentimes these so-called 'hard workers' have significant criminal histories such as child rape. Does Gov. Stein want those individuals in his house next to his family?"

It's a key tell that Trump propagandists are now claiming not just that he wants the Epstein files released, but also that they're getting released ONLY BECAUSE HE ORDERED IT TO HAPPEN. For Trump, the *perception* of his mastery over the GOP is what matters most.
