If you're looking for a counter to the master plan that's legalized the buying of elections, look at systems that publicly finance candidates. Without such a system in NY, there probably woulda been no well-financed competitive opponent against Cuomo & his oligarch donors. MasterPlanPodcast.com

Pete Hegseth was different after Signalgate, according to six people in a position to know. He was more prone to anger and less likely to be clean-shaven in the morning. He seemed reluctant to make decisions; scared of doing the wrong thing, paralyzed as he awaited orders from the White House.

"Senators charging cabinet secretaries." In the segregationist South, civil rights activsts were frequently held guilty of assault for things like getting their head in the way of the butt of a pistol swung by an officer of the law. This is the same kind of tyranny we're talking about.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”
