Big Streaming doesn't want you to know that Kanopy is kind of like Amazon Prime Video except that you have to pay for Prime and Kanopy is free. Oh also Prime shows ads even though you pay for it and Kanopy doesn't show ads even though you don't pay for it. Oh and Bezos doesn't get Kanopy's data.

I argued that that lawsuit by 9 FBI Agents fired bc they worked on the stolen documents case has an impeachment referral stuck in the middle of it. emptywheel.net/2026/10/16/t...

The outline of the lawsuit 9 FBI agents filed against Kash Patel yesterday. I've pointed to these sections claiming they are an impeachment referral.

C. While Still a Private Citizen, Defendant Patel Injected Himself into Plasmic Echo: This section describes Kash’s public blabbing in 2022, his subpoena to testify (served by Linton), his immunized testimony, a subpoena investigators obtained for Kash’s communications around the same time, his partying at the Olympics, and his attempt to use the subpoena as an excuse to fire the plaintiffs to distract from his partying.
As part of this section, it describes Kash’s claims to Congress on March 19 and September 15 about why he fired the plaintiffs, and then describes the public evidence those claims are false.
E. Plaintiffs Are Summarily Terminated: Having already described how Kash lied about why he fired plaintiffs (and provided some of the proof that he did lie), the complaint then describes how each plaintiff was terminated, naming the FBI managers who affirmatively told plaintiffs they were not being fired for cause, explaining to anyone who might want to know how to find proof that Kash lied to Congress.
Along with individualized descriptions of how each plaintiff was terminated (which is necessary for the lawsuit), this section also describes how, the day after Kash’s debauchery in Italy, the corrupt FBI Agent who spied on Jim Comey’s Attorney-Client communications, Miles Starr, took steps to find out who was on the stolen documents case. This is necessary to substantiate the claim that Kash fired plaintiffs because of his own embarrassment, but it important for other reasons.
