With 87% of the votes counted it looks even worse for the Swedish far-right than the polls suggested. They're down almost two percentage points, and are behind the Greens. https://valresultat.svt.se/2024/

Tomorrow you're going to hear a lot about what the Hunter Biden jury will decide.

It'll all be driven by the definition of "addict."

And so that's what you'll hear in closing arguments.

Crazy. Highest prime age labor force participation rate in a generation. Too bad nobody wants to work and immigrants took all the jobs.

Coinbase’s “Stand With Crypto” PAC claims to have raised $87 million, but their donations list totals up to only $1,176,900. They seem to be double-counting corporate contributions to super PACs to overstate how much their “community” supports this supposedly grassroots project.

The list trails off at donations of $44.67, so there could be additional smaller donations not shown on the page, but not more than $85 million’s worth.

In memory of those who fought, died, and saved the world in Normandy, let us be worthy of their sacrifice and be the generation that – when the history is written of our time – it will be said that we met the moment.

That we stood strong and saved democracy in our time as well.

Here’s a deeply reported piece by Eli Salsow in the New York Times, in which he spends time with a county election clerk in a small Nevada town with 620 voters: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/06/us/politics/nevada-election-clerk-trump.html?unlocked_article_code=1.xk0.Wsdw.1RH-Oz4t3SH0&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c-cb (gift)

The county’s Trump voters are incensed that he won by only 82% in 2020 …

… so they try to recall the election clerk, Cindy Elgan

Many are close friends of the clerk, but imbibe a diet of online-conspiracy posts, so they’ve turned on her

Here’s a sample of what one believes

Speaker Johnson is adding Scott Perry to the House Intel Committee.

Perry sought a pardon for his key role in trying to overturn the 2020 election. People who try to overthrow the U.S gov't don't belong in the House, let alone on the Intel Committee.

Wow. Senate Republicans voted today against The Right to Contraception Act, legislation I cosponsor in the House. It’s like Maya Angelou said, “when people show you who they are, believe them.” There is an extreme MAGA agenda that is putting our rights at risk.

Joint Statement from the leaders of the US, Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, France, Germany, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Thailand and the UK: "...we fully support the movement towards a ceasefire and hostage release deal now on the table and as outlined by President Biden on May 31, 2024. There is no time to lose. We call on Hamas to close this agreement, that Israel is ready to move forward with, and begin the process of releasing our citizens."

NEW, by me: Cloud data giant Snowflake is at the center of a recent spate of alleged data thefts, including Ticketmaster.

Snowflake has largely blamed its customers for not using MFA (which Snowflake does not require nor enforce).

TechCrunch has this week seen hundreds of alleged Snowflake customer passwords that are available online for cybercriminals to use as part of hacking campaigns, suggesting a greater risk to customer account compromises than first known.
