Sarah Rogers Is the Foreign Censorship Threat She Warned Against - emptywheel
By bullying the EU to withdraw funding from the Disinfo2026 conference, Sarah Rogers engaged in the kind of retaliation DOJ had assured Judge Boasberg they would not do.

Over the past two weeks, I’ve been following the attempts to smear the Jane Doe in the Cornell University gang rape case and redirect blame from the seven fraternity men onto her. As usual, this campaign is built on a mountain of lies and misogyny. spitfirenews.com/p/cornell-ja...

Silent films were sniffed at in film circles and by the generation immediately succeeding them and that attitude bleeds through to some old movie fans, who are sometimes surprisingly resistant to the silents. Ironically, I sometimes have better success with non-film nerds.

Senator John Curtis asks Chuck Grassley to investigate familial influence peddling, generally, invoking Hunter to suggest Grassley subpoena both Hunter and Don Jr. Curtis is on Foreign Relations, not SJC, but he didn't ask Jim Risch to do this investigation. punchbowl.news/09-21-2026-c...
The country should not have to accept one standard for the family of a Republican president and
another for the family of a Democratic president. Nor should congressional oversight begin and
end when control of the White House changes hands.
I therefore respectfully request that the Senate Judiciary Committee launch an investigation into
the use of presidential family relationships for private financial benefit, preferential treatment, or
access by domestic and foreign interests. As part of that investigation, I urge the Committee to
subpoena Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden to testify regarding their past business dealings,
relationships with foreign individuals and entities, gifts, or other benefits they have received, and
any instances in which their relationship to the President was invoked or understood to provide
value.
The purpose of such an inquiry should be straightforward: establish the facts, determine whether
existing ethics, disclosure, or anti-corruption laws apply, and identify reforms necessary to
prevent the presidency from becoming a vehicle for private enrichment by those closest to it.

Fantastic essay.
Everyone who has written at any substantial length, whether prose or poetry, knows that the process of writing itself leads to previously unthought thoughts. Or to be more precise, writing crystallizes previously half-formulated or unformulated thoughts, gives them form, and extends chains of thoughts in new directions.
