I paused this video weeks ago, and it remains an open tab on my browser.

Every time I glance at my Mac's Mission Control mode to see all running programs, these distorted faces pop up.

It's unnerving but now I feel that it's essentially become a cubicle poster.

And I will end with this:

In the United States, we may claim that presidents are not kings, but they essentially exist beyond the reach of the law.

We saw it from a state judge in New York. We've seen it from the Supreme Court. And now we see it from an independent prosecutor in Georgia.

Trump's "perfect call" to Raffensperger turned out to be an okay call after all.

Again, I don't see how we return to any sense of normal after this.

Jeffrey Clark, the Department of Justice official who tried to weaponize the DOJ to backup Trump's election fraud lies, was just "giving advice."

Never mind that DC recommended he be disbarred over this: www.dcbar.org/ServeFile/Ge...

He says the fake electors lacked criminal intent.

"Just asking questions" is now an accepted form of election sabotage.

Peter Skandalakis, the special DA who inherited the case, has really opened Pandora's box.

"It is not illegal to question or challenge election results."

This will be read as a blessing of Trump's attempt to flip 2020 in Georgia.

Let's see what 2028 looks like after this.

DA Fani Willis had a once-in-a-lifetime case, the most important of her career: a chance to criminally prosecute a lying president who tried to intimidate people into overturning the 2020 election.

She screwed up.

And now her replacement has killed it.

Coffee. Black. Hot.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers are accusing the Trump administration of vindictive prosecution for repeatedly trying to send him to foreign lands he doesn't even know as a blatant form of punishment.

Costa Rica would accept him by the way, but the feds just won't do it.

American veterans are protesting outside Union Station in DC, chanting "impeach, convict, remove."

Can't take a picture? Take the damn picture.

Any Fugees fans out there?

Pras Michel just got sentenced to 14 years in prison for

(1) taking millions of that stolen Malaysian 1MDB money and (2) bundling political donations to Obama and (3) funneling cash for a Chinese op trying to influence the first Trump admin.

He was stoic in court.

Can you guys cool it? He's wanted for murder.

You know the feds were itching to say his career did a frontside 180 after he became an indy trafficker for a drug that addicts nose press before he fled with an ollie into Mexico.

These things are happening at the same time.

Excuse me?

We now turn to the FBI records room, where personnel are uncapping their sharpies.

Oh great, maybe we'll be on the same Amtrak headed south, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

So much to discuss!

Putting aside the hilariously ill-conceived placement of an AI advertisement mid-story, the three cited examples are all public utilities.

So are we ready to nationalize AI? Or heavily regulate it?

Once Congress passes the Epstein bill — and Trump signs it, if he does — we'll get these records within a month.

I'm thinking... mid December release?

(When considering what war with Venezuela could mean for innocent civilians there, consider vignettes like this one from the Panama invasion.)

Huh?

This was announced 290 days ago. By the Navy. Before he was the secretary of defense.

The New Yorker nailed it with this piece on Miami Cubans.

And with a little sketch of a cafecito too.

I'm at the federal courthouse in Alexandria, where a specially assigned judge will consider whether to disqualify Lindsey Halligan, the Trump defense lawyer > White House aide > prosecutor on the case against former FBI director James Comey.

No phones allowed. Story after the hearing @notus.com.
