LEARN how @loevy.com’s Matt Topic used FOIA to uncover Mueller Report redactions about Don Jr and why FOIA and Congressional subpoenas should have gotten us Epstein files without needing a new law. Shocking info (what else can explain my expression).

Most troops at Fort Benning didn’t know their base honored a man who never served in the U.S. Army and vowed he’d rather see “famine and pestilence” than end slavery.

Brigadier Gen. Ty Seidule (Ret.) explains that history, and the resistance he faced at places like Fort Bragg.

When you draw a platoon leader like Hegseth, it’s your worst nightmare. You just ride it out until he’s gone and gets replaced by someone who isn’t a complete jackass. Only a fool like Trump would put one of them in charge of the entire defense department.

Alaska also has a high degree of MMIWG, and others in general.
Alaska vowed to resolve the murders of Indigenous people.

But when one nonprofit asked state law enforcement officials for a fundamental piece of data — a list of Indigenous murders they’d investigated — the state said no.

With @adn.com
Alaska Vowed to Resolve Murders of Indigenous People. Now It Refuses to Provide Their Names.
When the nonprofit Data for Indigenous Justice filed public records requests with the Alaska Department of Public Safety concerning cases it had investigated, the state rejected them.

It seems the recipe for reality TV. Hells Kitchen has mainstays like risotto and scallops, yet every season qualifying chefs have no clue how to make them correctly.

This is the kind of stuff that really radicalizes me and should infuriate any decent person: Big Pharma’s abuse of the patent system.

I know this sounds naive, but something has got to change… there’s no constituency for Big Pharma!

And no one, except for the lobbyists, wants higher drug prices.

Exactly. Trump’s so-called ‘peace plan’ has never been about peace it’s been Moscow’s wishlist. Manafort, Kilimnik, backchannels, polling data, the whole rotten pipeline. It’s the same script they’re running now.
A reminder that Trump's "peace plan" for Ukraine came from Russia going back to 2016. From the Mueller Report:
