Lots of news from US, and this is especially significant. The DoJ suspends a lawyer for candour to the court when answering judge’s questions. This is important, as any lawyer has duties both to client and to the court. The system breaks down otherwise. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

So, Le Pen gets banned from running for election because she’s found guilty of embezzlement and her far-right fanclub starts huffing and puffing about whether this is democratic. Err. Yes. If you’re found guilty of corruption, you’re unfit for public office. It doesn’t matter how ‘popular’ you are.

I saw the work by Olga Lautman and he findings were disturbing: Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the signal chat. Russia has infiltrated Signal and used against Ukrainians. Very possible they have the classified signal info:

Sanders: Does anybody think it makes sense that we have a campaign finance system where one man (Musk) can put $270 million to get Trump elected and then his reward is that he becomes the most powerful person in government? That is not democracy. That is oligarchy.

When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.
