This Supreme Court allowed Alabama to keep killing people in 2022 after the state repeatedly botched its executions and left inmates on gurneys, cut up by needles. Of all the Roberts Court’s sins, its death penalty rulings have been especially nihilistic.

Trump and Ronny Jackson have a chuckle about the botched execution in Tennessee: "The medication didn't exactly work. He [Jackson] would answer it better than anybody. How does that happen? It shouldn't be very difficult."

In July, I led several Senators in a request to the Secretary of the Air Force to disclose how much money is being stolen from taxpayers to pay for Trump’s luxury Qatari jet. Today I got a reply. 100 words. Telling Congress to screw off. Can’t wait for a Democratic Senate!

Here is the stalking that DOJ just arrested someone for sending to what appears to be Katie Miller's parents. www.justice.gov/usao-ma/pr/m...
a.    “Good morning [first name of victim’s mother].  Does it disturb you that such evil as [Federal Official] is married to the creature that slithered from your Cunt?”

c.    “My god, how can you be proud of this filth?”

d.    “Hey [first name of victim’s father], how goes it?  Hope your daughter marrying a Jewish Nazi/white supremacist is working out for you and [first name of victim’s mother].  Did you raise her to be trash or did that just happen naturally?”

Hey legal and finance Bluesky: I just got a court notice of a class action trial verdict against Elon Musk for manipulating the stock price of Twitter in 2022. If you sold shares (or bought puts or sold calls) from May-Oct 2022, you can get some of Elon Musk's money. Here are the docs.
Court-ordered class action lawsuit trial verdict notice informing individuals of a jury verdict against Elon Musk entitling individuals who sold Twitter stock (and/or bought put options or sold call options) during the period of May-October 2022 that they are entitled to monetary compensation due to the trial verdict finding that Musk illegally manipulated the stock price of Twitter.

October 1, 2026 split screen. On the left, what happened to Becca Good after Trump and others slandered Renee (from the family's lawsuit against Stephen). On the right, some calls Katie Miller's parents got. legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/28... www.justice.gov/usao-ma/pr/m...
196. Defendants’ public campaign against her and Renee, as pled below,
compounded the injury. Because senior federal officials, including the President and
Defendant Noem, publicly branded Renee a terrorist and a criminal within hours of her
death (as discussed below), Becca lost her privacy along with her partner and has been
made to relive the killing as a subject of national argument. She has received continuous Proia also allegedly sent the following text messages to phones numbers associated with the victim’s parents:

a.    “Good morning [first name of victim’s mother].  Does it disturb you that such evil as [Federal Official] is married to the creature that slithered from your Cunt?”

b.    [Photo of Victim 1]

c.    “My god, how can you be proud of this filth?”

The Good Klan lawsuit (as distinct from wrongful death) names Palantir and Clearview as co-conspirators. legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...
280. At least two private corporations also agreed to and in fact participated in the
conspiracy: Palantir Technologies Inc., the Delaware corporation that designed, built, 
configured, and maintained the targeting application by which the operation’s agents were
directed to the neighborhoods they invaded, and Clearview AI, Inc., the Delaware
corporation whose facial recognition search engine the operation used to identify the
people who observed, filmed, and protested the operation.
