Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

Breaking NBC: Family members of two Trinidadian men who were killed in a U.S. boat strike in October have sued the U.S. government — accusing it of wrongful death and extrajudicial killings. The lawsuit is the first of its kind to be filed against the Trump admin.

Our adversaries have won this Cold War, the images of American citizens being killed by LEOs are Vietnam-esc. Countries are dumping the USD and catering to China. I fear D candidates will soon run on a secessionist platform, seeing no value in the American experiment. #Minnesota #America

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

I don’t make hot takes, but it is apparent from watching “ Born on the 4th of July”, which is a good movie, that Massapequa is a segregated town. What’s funny is a movie like this would be praised today for “ traditional” values, while not understanding the clear issues. #film

BREAKING: Documents filed in court today assert that officials from El Salvador told the United Nations that it "facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure" by the U.S. but that "the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the" U.S.

As set forth in the attached Report, the Government of El Salvador responded to the UN
inquiry opened by the four families asking about the disappearance of their family members:
1 The attached exhibit has redacted personal identifying information for the four men discussed in the WGEID report. Petitioners can file an unredacted version of the exhibit under seal at the Court's request, with the exception of one of the cases for particular privacy reasons related to that individual.

Case 1:25-cv-00766-JEB Document 160
Filed 07/07/25
Page 2 of 4
The Salvadoran State emphatically states that its authorities have not arrested, detained, or transferred the persons referred to in the communications of the Working Group. The actions of the State of El Salvador have been limited to the implementation of a bilateral cooperation mechanism with another State, through which it has facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure for the custody of persons detained within the scope of the justice system and law enforcement of that other State. In this context, the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the competent foreign authorities, by virtue of international agreements signed and in accordance with the principles of sovereignty and international cooperation in criminal matters. In this regard, the actions attributable to the Salvadoran State are limited to its sovereignty and territorial jurisdiction, and therefore it cannot be held responsible for the failure to observe the principle of non-refoulement with respect to the persons mentioned.
Ex. 1 at 6, 9 (emphasis added).

Remember that several people asked Pam Bondi during confirmation SPECIFICALLY what she would do on matters pertaining to Qatar (which she did not disclose) or GEO (pertinent to the Baraka arrest). She said she'd consult top career lawyer at DOJ abt recusal. Then she fired that lawyer.

The Suspension Clause: 1) Doesn't allow the President to unilaterally suspend habeas, especially when Congress is in session; 2) Applies only to cases of invasion or rebellion (this is quite clearly neither); and 3) *Even then,* applies only "when the public safety may require it." (It doesn't.)

Helpful @mattdpearce.com post on how US consumers have now returned to spending the same share of their income on news as they spent in 2007 — but ad revenue is way, way down since then: mattdpearce.substack.com/p/journalism...

Line chart showing spending on newspapers and periodicals as a share of overall personal consumption from 2007 to 2024. The y-axis shows percentages from 0.00% to 0.50%, while the x-axis shows years in increments of one year.
The chart reveals a distinct U-shaped trend over the 17-year period. Starting at approximately 0.42% in 2007, spending on newspapers and periodicals steadily declined through the late 2000s and early 2010s, reaching its lowest point of about 0.27% in 2015.
After 2015, spending begins a gradual recovery through 2019, followed by a sharp increase in 2020 (jumping to about 0.37%). The upward trend continues through 2024, where spending returns to approximately 0.41% of personal consumption, nearly matching the 2007 level.
The chart caption notes this represents "Real personal consumption in chained dollars of newspapers and periodicals, divided by overall personal consumption expenditures, 2007-2024." Credit is given to Matt Pearce / National Income and Product Account Table 2.4.6U, U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Bar chart comparing New York Times Company subscription revenue versus advertising revenue in 2007 and 2024, with inflation-adjusted figures. The chart uses blue bars for subscription revenue and red bars for advertising revenue.
In 2007, subscription revenue (blue) was approximately $1.4 billion, while advertising revenue (red) was significantly higher at about $3.1 billion, making advertising the dominant revenue source.
By 2024, this relationship had dramatically reversed. Subscription revenue (blue) increased to approximately $1.8 billion, while advertising revenue (red) plummeted to about $0.5 billion.
The visualization clearly illustrates the New York Times' business model transformation over 17 years, from being primarily ad-supported to subscription-driven. Advertising revenue declined by roughly 84%, while subscription revenue grew by approximately 29%. The chart is credited to Matt Pearce/New York Times Co. and based on annual financial reports from 2007 and 2024.
