I thought her book The Time Traders was interesting. Time travel is a thing, but space travel isn't. So they are sending agents into Earth's past looking for ancient UFOs.

Texas is delaying the release of the state’s maternal mortality statistics until after the midterms. www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/tex...

Texas' first post-Roe look at maternal deaths won't be ready by midterms
Democrats say the timing is suspicious, given the Dec. 1 deadline is after Gov. Greg Abbott and other Republicans who supported the state’s abortion ban are up for reelection.

Epstein survivor Dani Bensky reveals that Fox News has refused to give survivors a platform, even as they try to reach Americans across the political spectrum. “We have survivors on both sides of the aisle... but there really is this great divide that we can’t seem to cross.”

The reality is that this is exactly what Trump wants. He wants to force Ukrainian capitulation and this is how he wants to do it.

Republican voters in western NC gave us Madison Cawthorn and then replaced him with Chuck Edwards. Obviously character and decency isn’t something that matters very much to them.

Sure, Democrats are not perfect and we have some bad apples. But sexual harassment and abuse of women has become an absolute epidemic among elected Republicans because it is the culture of the party under lifetime serial sexual harasser Donald Trump.

Blanche reported out of committee as expected. but a total travesty nonetheless that could lead to all manner of additional abuse and self-enrichment schemes by Trump. They know what and whom they're ratifying.

Klobuchar: "More than six months after Renee and Alex's deaths when I asked Acting AG Blanche if the department would finally fully cooperate with state law enforcement in these investigations, he said 'it depends on what full cooperation means'...Minnesotans deserve transparency and accountability"

🔥 Here's Whitehouse's entire remarkable speech opposing Blanche: "What's left of this committee when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has DOJ been asked what became of the $50k that the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our R colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, & speak no evil."

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.

In response to a loaded question from Fox News meant to tee up an attack on Mamdani, Buttigieg instead says "there's so much that we do in fact agree on ... people can tell that the system we have is not just showing its age, it's letting us down"

And looking back a lot of the "great military leaders" were immediately preceded by a guy who did all the boring stuff like reforming the tax collection system and reorganizing the military to actually work. Napoleon wouldn't have been nearly as impressive without Lazare Carnot.
