The Minnesota shooting case is now metastasizing unlike any i've ever seen. The successive resignations of heads of the crim section at CRD and 3 top career prosecutors in Minn -- who had hung in all this year n/w/stg multiple outrages-- means the Department is in open revolt in DC and the field.

We have cleaned up the crime scene and blocked a local investigation and hidden the perpetrator and invaded the state and that is how you know that we are acting in good faith and that everything was the victim’s fault.

"Being an ICE agent is the perfect job for people not good enough at business to be human traffickers or drug dealers, but just a bit too evil to be Baptist ministers."

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.

Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

The idea of the word "library" being used in conjunction with the name "Trump" is both absurd and repulsive.
President Trump and his family are eager to build a museum that they say will be unlike any other presidential library — and which could tell the story of his presidency only as he wants it to be told.

Here’s an inside look at their plan:
Trump’s library plan: An ‘iconic building’ in Miami and a ‘fake news wing’
Trump might follow the example of Obama, who created a private foundation to build his Chicago center where museum exhibits are not subject to government review.

THE EIGHTS by Joanna Miller is a debut novel released last spring, about a group of first-year women students at Oxford in the immediate aftermath of WWI. It's about female friendship and finding one's way in a changing world. I listened to the audiobook and it is excellent. ++

The federal government’s ability to counter cyberespionage, destructive hacks and organized criminal scams is declining under the Trump administration just as artificial intelligence supercharges those threats.
The U.S. has been cutting cyber defenses as AI boosts attacks
While artificial intelligence powers the offense, defense guidance is spotty and fewer officials are in a position to help fend off hackers and spies.

This tracks. Disliking the Beatles was easy, and I still don't care for them. But I really, really hate the Beach Boys. Yes, I have heard Pet Sounds. No, Brian was not a genius.
As someone who is also this guy’s age I can tell you 100% this wasn’t hard at all. The Beatles were Boomer music and they were shoved down your throat everywhere and they reeked of your parents’ nostalgia. Nobody I knew liked The Beatles.

If you were into grunge, *everything* was your enemy.
As someone who is this guy's age I can tell you 100% that if you were into Pixies, Nirvana, 120 Minutes stuff, etc. but didn't like the Beatles you had to have worked hard to contort yourself into that special little box. Your enemy, if you absolutely needed one, was hair metal. GTFO here with this.
