(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

Media says: Where are the Dems? I say: WHERE the hell is the media? đź“ŚThousands of us stood in the cold here in Wisconsin and across the country protesting Musk's attack on our privacy, and it barely got a mention. đź“ŚDems are fighting, but the media has once again fallen at Trump's fat, little feet.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Orban starved civil society that could oppose him, staffed the state with his allies, and sent $ to himself and his cronies. But he suborned the state: Trump is blowing it up. Eg, Orban targeted welfare to his base: Trump would raise drug prices for all. Same with the blanket OMB directive.

Vote suppression cost Kamala Harris no less than 3,565,000 votes. If all legal voters were allowed to vote, and if all legal ballots were counted, Harris would have topped Trump’s official total by 1.2 million. youtu.be/0LN65qFUDDo

And incidentally, ONE REASON I said it was important to blame John Roberts rather than Merrick Garland for Trump not going to trial, aside from it being true & blaming Garland requires y'all making shit up, is so ROBERTS gets held accountable for these pardons. www.emptywheel.net/2024/12/30/t...

It is imperative that DOJ dismiss all of its pending voting rights cases and withdraw from those in which it has intervened. The Biden administration should not hand over cases in which Dhillon can have DOJ switch sides and undermine voting rights. We are on our own from here.

As a veteran, I can tell you this: They have no f*cking idea of the backlash this would create. If they start taking away the promised benefits of people who are already depressed and pissed off 3/4 of the time... taskandpurpose.com/news/veteran...

Pay attention to Oklahoma. Bibles in classrooms isn't the big story. The same legal teams behind the seeding of Dobbs are driving a case to create religious schools fully funded by the public & they've already petitioned the Supreme Court. Understandably, everyone was focused on the election.
