I would love, absolutely love, at least one prominent contender for the Dem POTUS nomination in 2028 to start threatening this now. "Trump is right that lying on immigration forms is a serious offense. Here are the people my DOJ will investigate on Day 1: Musk, Melania, etc." Put fear in them NOW.

HORRIFIC: A man shot and killed nine people, including two children, in and around a home in Erie, Pennsylvania last night. The shooter then killed himself. Our hearts are with the victims, their loved ones, and the entire Erie community. We should not have to live and die like this.

I've been thinking and talking and writing about the death penalty for my whole adult life and the past week+ has been truly surreal and exhausting, not only because of the onslaught of horrors but because there seems to be so little historical memory of what this system is and always has been.

Kimberly Guilfoyle was preparing for her congressional hearing to become U.S. ambassador to Greece when she reached out to a Trump donor with an urgent request: She needed $100,000 that she said she owed American Express—in a way that wouldn’t leave a paper trail. 

“It won’t show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express,” she wrote on Signal, according to messages reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. “Please.”

Underneath is a screenshot of a text. First text is a link to an American Express instructions PDF. Next text says: "You can just send it here. It won't show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express that's all that will show." Final text: "Please."

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

For months Gabriela Soto has relentlessly advocated for her husband Martin, unlawfully detained by ICE while buying diapers for their baby. Martin played a key role in the Delaney Hall hunger strike this summer. Last night we was RELEASED from ICE custody. ALWAYS FIGHT BACK.

You are absolutely right, but I also can’t see what putting all our effort into an impeachment effort (that will not get the 2/3 Senate vote) will accomplish. I would like to see a set of hearings to expose it, but not sure that impeachment does anything

I’d like to see reform, not just expansion. Staggered terms and a group of maybe 18 justices with 9 randomly selected to hear each case. Then, presidents would appoint 2 every 4 years, so it’s hard to pack the court.

Those are not the right numbers. According to NYT it’s definitely going to a runoff: The challenger, Flávio Bolsonaro, received 47.3 percent of the vote, compared with 44.8 percent for President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

NYT says it is going to a runoff. The challenger, Flávio Bolsonaro, received 47.3 percent of the vote, compared with 44.8 percent for President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. With over 95 percent of the ballots counted, neither succeeded in capturing the more than the 50% needed for outright victory.
