Merrick Garland green-lit the search of Mar-a-Lago. It happened in August 2022 three months before Jack Smith was appointed. Jack Smith was in the Netherlands at the Hauge prosecuting Kosovo war crimes when Mar-a-Lago was searched. Eric should have listened to my podcast.

Nigel Farage fiddled his EU parliamentary expenses, failed to declare political donations, tried to avoid tax through an offshore trust fund & said he greatly admires Putin.

Clearly not a man who'd have anything to do with Russian bribes as taken by his close associate Nathan Gill.

“This is most definitely not a fringe political scandal. It is a direct admission that Russian-aligned money penetrated Farage’s immediate orbit during a pivotal chapter in Brexit.”

Rep. Clark: Speaker Johnson said we have an eternity to deal with health care. No, we don't. They took away the tax credits that help people pay for premiums. They chose to spend that money on permanent tax credits for billionaires. Families are finding out that their premiums are about to double

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.
