Musk Unmasked: the Bombshell Election Meddling Revelations in Alex Gibney’s Film
Millions of votes disappearing for VP Harris on Election Night. Fake county vote banks. Unregulated election infrastructure. A new low-Earth-orbit DTC satellite installation. 10,000 lasers in space.

Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

Justice Jackson to Solicitor General Sauer (just now, in Trump v. Slaughter arguments):
"I guess I have a very different view of the dangers and real-world consequences of your position than what you explored with Justice Kavanaugh. My understanding was that independent agencies exist because Congress has decided that some issues, some matters, some areas should be handled in this way by nonpartisan experts—that Congress is saying that expertise matters with respect to aspects of the economy and transportation and the various independent agencies that we have. 

"So having a president come in and fire all the scientists and the doctors and the economists and the PhDs and replacing them with loyalists and people who don't know anything is actually not in the best interest of the citizens of the United States."

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system." This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

He was killed on camera. No one's family deserves to have to witness that. It's unthinkably cruel that people would then go on the internet and use their platform to say about an innocent that, "I don't care that he's dead." "He's not a hero." "He's a scumbag." "He shouldn't be celebrated. (pause) I'm talking about George Floyd. You thought I was talking about Charlie Kirk? No, those are actual quotes BY Charlie Kirk about George Floyd. Outrageous that anyone would say that of the dead, right?

I wish I could credit this, but it came my way without sourcing.
I've been thinking a lot about Murkowski's vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment:
SELFISHNESS: I'm taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand;
LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else will fix it;
COWARDICE: I'm scared of Trump and his voters and need to go-along to get along with  my GOP colleagues;
MORAL ROT: I know the difference between right and wrong, and actively chose wrong.

There are only 2 possibilities: 1. All Tapper's "sources" saw Biden was declining and chose to say nothing, thus doing a terrible disservice to the American people. 2. They saw nothing of the sort, but want to seem like they were "in the know" after the fact. I suspect it's #2.
