Not sure if it can get more nasty and repulsive than attempted indictment of Cassidy Hutchinson, which has great potential for backfiring on Blanche and DOJ. Looking forward to discussing, along w/ CNN et al injunction, on @deadlinewh.bsky.social w/ guest host @alexwagner.bsky.social at 4:20 PM ET.

The USS Abraham Lincoln is expected to arrive in San Diego Thursday after a record-setting deployment as part of the U.S. war with Iran. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited the ship Wednesday, praising what he called "the best team in the world" and saying they "changed the arc of history."

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

The jackals are out, as they usually are for a woman who speaks up in a way that challenges patriarchy. (And a lot of why victims don't come forward or withdraw--as a Weinstein victim did--is because the misogynist public and legal system launch their own punitive assaults.)

A top Israeli military prosecutor announced last month that he would not pursue criminal proceedings for the April 2024 incident in which drones fired missiles at three clearly marked World Central Kitchen (WCK) cars soon after they had escorted a food aid delivery to Gaza. Three British humanitarian workers along with an Australian, a Palestinian, a Pole and a dual US-Canadian national were killed. Continue reading...
