NEW: I delved into the mystery of Phineas Fisher, probably the most prolific and public hacker never to have gotten caught. This is what we know about the infamous hacktivist and their spectacular hacks against spyware makers FinFisher and Hacking Team. There will be even more in my upcoming book.

I would never eat dinner with Donald Trump. I would never clap or laugh at his jokes. I would never shake his hand. When he attacks me, I wear his scorn as a badge of honor. I founded Democracy Docket to never back down or obey. Subscribe now. demdock.com/4w6emld

My takeaway from that speech is that we are headed down the road of Trump trying to outright rig elections. It probably won't work, but he's going for it.

The extent of Trump's destruction of Washington, D.C., is truly stunning. It's the ultimate metaphor. The algae-infested Reflecting Pool. The destroyed grass from the UFC event. The bulldozed East Wing grounds. "86 47" etched into the lawn near the Reflecting Pool. REUTERS/Aaron Schwartz

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case
Judge Breyer: Okay. Thank you very much. Juror 96, I think that you also have strong views. Could you set them aside?

Juror 96: I believe that in a criminal trial, I would feel morally obligated to convict. However, in a civil trial, I feel I can set those views aside.

Judge Breyer: That’s interesting.

Juror 96: I’m happy to expand.

Judge Breyer: Sure.

Juror 96: I believe it would be to the benefit of the human race were Mr. Musk to be sent to prison. However, I don’t believe a loss of several hundreds of millions of dollars in a civil trial would be even a drop in the bucket to his wealth, so it doesn’t really matter. Therefore, I would be able to consider the facts.

There's long been a type of savvy, conservative-coded con man who's especially adept at siphoning the money of AARP-eligible suburban and rural white Christians into their own, city slicker pockets. But the link between the grift and the right wing politics has rarely been as tight as it is today.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

Exactly 5 minutes BEFORE Trump announced a 5-day delay in bombing Iranian power plants, someone purchased $1.5 billion worth of S&P futures in a single trade. Someone also sold $192 million in oil futures. Trump and/or his cronies are engaging in market manipulation and insider trading.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
