You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

The Government is shutdown for two reasons:

1. To raise your healthcare costs
2. To delay releasing the Epstein files

That’s it.

Deaths are higher in emergency rooms of hospitals owned by private equity firms, per Harvard University.

They did the math: It’s cheaper to let someone die than save them with a procedure they can’t afford.

This is what happens when its profits over people.

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was.

"I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi."

Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · May 20

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

As I observed in my Substack Round Up this past week, the endgame of the military strikes against drug cartels in international waters is to lay the groundwork to use lethal military force against Americans at home. Pay attention open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

Today, a question came up with a group of organizers I’m working with, some of whom are also lawyers, and it’s a serious inquiry:

Is anyone undertaking an effort to collect evidence that could eventually be used in a Nuremberg-style set of trials, or for a truth and reconciliation commission?

Nothing to see here, just Trump going for his second “yearly” checkup this year.

Anyone ready to admit that something is wrong with POTUS yet?

💯 There are no non-tabbed infantry captains in the regular Army. They get re-branched. (Guard does all kinds of assed up things.)

But I think this definitely explains Whiskey Pete’s insecurity toward women in the military since he knows a bunch of them did make it through Ranger school.
