Ken Paxton's pedophile network is much bigger than the Epstein files. This article uncovers a lot of corruption in TX govt and religious organizations. I believe most Texans reject corruption of this magnitude, especially hurting children. It's sickening. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

You can have a JD from Harvard, practice Criminal Law for years, get a writing Master’s from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and a PhD from UW whose dissertation was a history but if you a) write b) histories c) of legal scandals d) involving crimes you’re an imposter if you *ever* published poetry, too.

It went mainstream because everyone was fascinated by all the interesting and helpful things it could do. AI is not going mainstream because everyone sees that it does nothing worthwhile and what it does it is shitty at it.

"Remember, Trump got impeached for trying to shake down Zelenskyy before the current war with Russia had even begun. The invasion of Crimea years prior did not even occur to Trump when his only instinct was to exploit a beleaguered ally who was...hoping to stave off...further aggressions by Putin."

Part of that is our broken media. If people no longer read the NYT and WaPo, if they're no longer on a social media platform that tells them what to read, if no one watches TV anymore, then the old rules need to change. And part of it is that it cannot be JUST Congress.

But I think this is outdated. Congress did this, for example, on Big Ugly. They did on Epstein. They did on some other things (sometimes limited by what everyone would agree on). Over and over and over people On Here, political junkies, never heard it. We need to talk about WHY.
To make some or all of this happen, Democrats in the House and Senate need to do what they have failed to do up to now: create a unified and disciplined message to let Americans know what the problems are and what they are doing about them. Trump has learned from his friend Steve Bannon that if you flood the zone with outrages, they will wash over each other and few if any will stick. The media are ill equipped to handle it, and most voters, occupied with their own lives and challenges, are not paying close attention to every corrupt act or policy outrage. If Democrats, given the timidity of the press corps and its predilection to both-sides issues and let Trump define the narrative, do not develop a discipline that includes changing the old ways of doing business and communicating, their tenure in power will be short and brutal. The way to counter the zone is to have one message pursued relentlessly for at least a week at a time.
