Here Come the Russians, Again – Mother Jones

Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines
Sometimes I’d rather not be right. In January, reacting to Donald Trump affectionately referring to the trio of tyrants Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un as “very fine people,” I wrote that two constants in the Trump Era are his affection for murderous authoritarians and Russian efforts to screw with American politics.

I unsubscribed from Quora with a free account because I was getting specific questions that the manufacturer of computer items could best answer. Suspect I was getting questions from manufacturers to advertise their new products. The questions were far too specific.

Yet, I got another post from Quora today. I used Gmail to mark it as spam and block it.

My advice is to avoid Quora.

New identity verification process to access certain IRS online tools and services | Internal Revenue Service

IRS now uses ID.me to very a filer's identity. I use TaxAct and got IRS pins for my spouse and me several years ago. Plus my ID is verified in some federal databases as an armed services' retiree.

Every time I file, I have to use the IRS pins and Florida
driver's license numbers for my spouse and me. It is tedious, but it prevents fraud.

Donald Trump's criminal trial is down to the nitty gritty now - Palmer Report

The trial won’t be back in session until Tuesday. That’s when we’ll see closing arguments from both sides. Then the case is expected to go to the jury by next Thursday. If they all immediately agree that Trump is guilty on all counts, then they can return that verdict as swiftly as they want.

Many trial observers expect a two-day jury deliberation.
