“The whistleblower told Insider that he was finally ordered to stop investigating Giuliani and the rest of the Trump White House in August 2022, after months of what he says were persistent efforts to frustrate his work, at a meeting with three FBI supervisors at a bureau field office. Insider was able to confirm the agent's account of the meeting with a second source with knowledge of what took place.”

1. DOJ has this tape for months to a year.
2. Trump gets the tape in discovery this week.
3. It's immediately and mysteriously leaked to CNN (a network whose new owner is trying to cozy up to Trump).
4. Trump yells that the DOJ leaked it.

Sure, Jan.

#Twitter was partially down this morning worldwide. Search and trends showed no results, and both the “For you” and “Following” timelines were completely down. Posting did work, but nobody other than you was able to see your posts.

At 1:45 a.m. Eastern time, the website came back online fully. Total downtime was much over an hour.

“We are one election away from becoming a Christian nationalist state, losing our democracy as we know it, and putting the fate of our country in the hands of a corrupt madman filled with fever dreams of retribution. And yet political journalists seem to think this is just fine. Fun, even.”

Once again, things the CDC could have brought to the country’s attention any time in the LAST THREE YEARS:

"Aim for at least 5 air changes each hour”
"A portable CO2 monitor can help you determine how stale or fresh the air is in rooms. Readings above 800 parts per million (ppm) suggest that you may need to bring more fresh, outdoor air into the space.”

If SCOTUS remands the J6 case back to Chutkin to figure out what acts were official vs personal based on whatever Bizarro logic they come up with, she should just turned around and schedule a VERY in depth fact finding trial on that point, going into excruciating detail on exactly what Trump did and when and why. This fall. Very fucking publicly.

‘“We are concerned that an official committee of the House of Representatives has been manipulated by an apparent con man who, while a fugitive from justice, attempted to fortify his defense by laundering unfounded and potentially false allegations through Congress,” Raskin and Goldman wrote in their correspondence to the committee’s GOP chairman.’

When you out it that way, it sounds bad. https://apple.news/AO4PE5_sIQaO596YAEw5aZA

TIL that Trump knew election security was overall quite good in February of the same year he in November pushed the Big Lie that it was stolen from him. https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/24/politics/special-counsel-trump-oval-office-election-security-february-2020/index.html

So, Trump just argued that if he gets back into power, he could order Seal Team Six to assassinate you, and if he can keep 34 Rebpublican Senators protecting him — perhaps with Seal Team Six looking pointedly at their families — he can never be held accountable.

How do you feel about that?

This is such an utter journalistic failure for all major US "news" networks at the moment.

Just fixated on their demographics' core obsessions.

‘“When the chairman allowed the distinguished gentlelady from Georgia to attack another members’ eyelashes or her personal appearance, the whole meeting descended at that point,” he said.’

GOP now complaining elbows were thrown when they ruled elbows aren’t fouls. Stop whining.

This whole story confirms all by suspicions about Elon. He’s a chaos agent. If the Board fired him it would do nothing but good for the company. (It won’t, it’s in his pocket.)

What, I cannot emphasize enough, the actual fuck.

Alito's house was flying a "Stop the Steal" upside-down flag between Jan 6 and Biden's inauguration?

There is a deep lesson here: When you connect people through technology with no filters, you get unfiltered behavior. You didn’t cause the behavior, but, it’s now a blocker for your connecting-humanity project.
