Perhaps equally important as "Who is giving this money," Ms. Ruhle, is "Who is counting this money? & tracking it? & watching where it goes?"

I mean, if it's Crew's Norman Eisen, or Mitt Romney, or Liz Cheney, that's one thing.

If it's Eric Trump, or DJT, Jr., that's another.

What do we make of Colin Kaepernick now?
The Super Bowl is being played in his former home stadium, at a societal moment that echoes the issues he forced football fans to confront. So why is he out of mind?

2/If mere fear of Trump's threatened legal action/etc. is so crippling as to force out top BBC execs—& extort an apology from BBC's Chair—is it far-fetched to think they might do Trump & his minions a solid by fudging the "facial rec ID" of the man who kicked out the taillight in the Jan. 13 scrum?

1/Whether AI or not, is it really Alex Pretti? Since last Nov., a sustained barrage of right-wing attacks—including Donald Trump's threatened suit—has forced the BBC Chair Samir Shah's apology & resignations of Director-General Tim Davie/Head of News Deborah Turness.

They "fired tear gas & pepper balls into the crowd"?
What crowd?
There were about 7 people on that corner (see link below to longer video of this Jan. 13 clash).
That's a crowd?
These mugs can't handle a group of 7 wo/tear gas/pepper balls?
Where'd they get their "training"?

There's a thread on reddit in r/isthisai on this. Notably, a poster included a link to a video of a different angle of the same incident. IMO, the video seems real. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2TR...

Despite having no connection to MN, I somehow ended up watching some of this series 20 y or so ago, and it was fascinating. The score is beautiful; we used a small portion of it in our wedding.
