It’s worse, really. After Paxton’s office offered the defendant a sweetheart plea deal on a misdemeanor and 30 days of jail, the judge asked the victim’s mother if it was enough. She stated emphatically that it wasn’t. So the judge added time but he was still released after just 29 days.
At the sentencing hearing, Sparkman asked the boy’s mother if she agreed to the deal.

She answered “no.” “It’s just not enough,” she said. “He’s dangerous. This isn’t justice, and I can’t do it.” 

Sparkman increased the sentence to 60 days and required Hoffman to surrender his law license for five years. He served 29 days.

The moment a drone or missile whistles nearby, 🇺🇦 women instantly become a shield for their children—covering them with their bodies, holding them tightly, covering their eyes and ears, comforting them. Every Ukrainian mother, sister, & grandmother is always ready to become a shelter. Thread 1/5🧵

On the same day Trump announces that top tech firms have signed an accord to "self-police" their own AI development, we learned that OpenAI employees and security researchers were reportedly ignored when they brought safety concerns to the company's top executives. See the problem here?

OpenAI Ignored Employees’ Warnings About Safely Testing A.I. Models
Employees and security researchers said that they had cautioned the company on safely testing its A.I. models and strengthening its corporate infrastructure, but that OpenAI did not listen.

Tomorrow, on October 1, the biggest transfer of wealth from the working class to the wealthy hits a critical milestone. Many of the provisions from the Big Ugly Bill will go into effect, harming hundreds of thousands of Michiganders in order to create tax cuts for the richest people in America.

SC Jack Smith in testimony before the Sen Jud Comm had a stunning opening statement: Words that should never be said about a president of the USA, now being said about Trump: “Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Pres Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation.”

THIS WAS MONEY FOR CHILDREN’S HEALTHCARE. A Florida grand jury found $10 MILLION meant to help provide health insurance for poor children was misappropriated for political purposes. Moody & DeSantis took money meant for kids. #GOPWarOnHealthcare

Those in Michigan pay, on average. $5,600 apiece annually more for their goods because of Trump's damaging tariffs. They get reamed the worst, by these tariffs, than any other state. Anyone in Michigan voting for any Trump Republican has to have their head examined.

Trump said his GOP convention beat the NFL. Nielsen says the Seahawks-Patriots opener drew 25.1 million viewers. Trump’s speech drew about 3.3 million across three networks. Claiming victory after losing by roughly 21.8 million people takes a special kind of self delusion.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Trump said that tech leaders he met with at the White House today had signed a "constitution" to police themselves. How stupid does he have to be to think that we're stupid enough to believe that an agreement between a group of serial liars has any meaning or significance in the real world.

Klobuchar: “For a US senator to have false information and imply, based on a confusion about the name of a team … and imply that you were in another city, that you were somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia, and then call you a dirtbag, is something that deserves an apology.”

I was just reading that Eric Schmitt was a possible front-runner to be JD Vance’s running mate in 2028, and based on his smug, boorish, obnoxious, and idiotic performance today he seems like a perfect fit for Vance.
