Can you even quantify the amount of additional investigation and cleanup that’s going to be necessary to find all the ways in which this admin was aggressively lawless/outright criminal and to correct for it? And that’s before you consider structural fixes to guard against their next 🍆🥔.
NEW: 9 ex-DOJ lawyers who resigned from antisemitism investigations into UCLA and other UC campuses say they were pressured to find UC guilty of violations in a rushed and politically motivated process.

Kushner is the guy who attempted shortly after the ‘16 election to establish a secret communication channel with the Kremlin using Russian diplomatic facilities, quite possibly related to Russian interference in the election.

Can only imagine the kompromat leverage the 🇷🇺’s might have on him..

optics matters very much, and it doesnt lie.

Also very telling that zelensky now refers to US as the “US/American side”.
He refers to russia also as the “russian side”.

and Europe as “European friends”.

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party.

My editing final exam was a simulation of covering a campus shooting for campus media while on lockdown.

I pointed out you should not share locations where people are hiding while a shooter is at large.

Watching this Brown coverage. How do professional media not know this?

Its striking that people who would prob not platform as a "journalist" a man arguing "don't let Jews run for parliament [unless they have a UK-born grandparent at least]" will now platform those openly arguing that about Asians, black people, Muslims, Hindus [+ most Jews, as it happens]

When Czech President Petr Pavel announced early 2024 that he will organize 1.5 million artillery shells for Ukraine many people were in doubt if this would materialize. Up to this day Czechia successfully organized 1.8 million shells. Well done!

Update: DOJ haw now sued 18 states.

My law firm has already filed to intervene to defend voters in 13 of the first 14 cases. We are working on the remains 5.

This is an insane effort by DOJ and we are a small firm. But we are committed to protecting free and fair elections in 2026.

More soon.
DOJ has sued Maine, Oregon, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont for access to its most sensitive voter data.

My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.
