The Washington Post - Top national security prosecutor joins Trump Mar-a-Lago investigation

today

One of the Justice Department’s most experienced national security prosecutors has joined the team overseeing the intensifying investigation of classified documents at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home and private club ...

National security law experts interviewed by The Washington Post say prosecutors appear to have amassed evidence in the case that would meet some of the criteria for bringing charges against the former president - an unprecedented action that they said likely would only happen if the Justice Department believes it has an extremely strong case.

David Raskin, who served for many years as a senior federal prosecutor in New York City, and more recently has worked as a prosecutor in Kansas City, Mo., has been quietly assisting in the investigation into Trump and his aides ...

Raskin is considered one of the most accomplished terrorism prosecutors of his generation ...

The NY Times - Trump says he’s ‘very happy’ about Musk’s Twitter takeover.

today

One former Twitter user who sounded quite pleased as Elon Musk formally took charge of the company was former President Donald J. Trump, who declared himself “very happy that Twitter is now in sane hands.”

In a post on his rival social media service, Truth Social, Mr. Trump insisted that he was glad Twitter “will no longer be run by Radical Left Lunatics and Maniacs that truly hate our country.”

And he took the opportunity to plug Truth Social.

Without citing any statistics, Mr. Trump claimed the platform was posting “bigger numbers” than rival social media companies.*

* Trump’s Truth Social account has roughly 4 million followers - he had nearly 90 million followers on Twitter.

"sane hands" - isn't that an oxymoron, coming from Trump?

Actually New Zealand, and a lot of countries, are ahead of the US in Democracy.

Fixing American Democracy is like someone trying to change a flat tire while driving down a road. While possible, it's unlikely.

I didn't imply we were behind. But we are not without our share of crazies.

Basically, 'democratic' means 'characterized by social equality'. It's hardly the term I'd use to describe US culture.

Trump crowned? No faux King way!

How uncreative are these names:

"Donald J. Trump revocable Trust"
Trump Organization II LLC

I can imagine investigating a Trump murder scene.

"let see, there's a dead body. It has a 'Trump branded' knife. There are bloody shoe marks with a 'Trump' logo, which lead to Trump standing in the corner covered in blood. Oh I see, Trump just posted

'Trump knives are the world's greatest murder weapons, and I mean that in every sense of the word. Treat yourself to the very, very best life has to offer you. And as a gift, Trump knives are the best you can use to kill someone. One stab, and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about, and believe me I understand murder, it's my crime.'"

Another Republican Senate nominee pro-life, anti-biotech, anti-vaccines in public;

Privately, not so much.

I wouldn't read this article if you're sensitive, as it is disturbing.

Rolling Stones: J.D. Vance Has a Burnt Monkey Testicle Problem

On the campaign trail, Trump-endorsed Ohio Senate nominee J.D. Vance leans into the hardscrabble upbringing he wrote about in Hillbilly Elegy. He rails against universities and the abuses of Big Tech. He blasts Covid mandates, encouraging distrust, without evidence, of the “long-term risks” of mRNA vaccines. A recent convert to Catholicism, Vance insists he’s “100 percent pro-life.”

But in his life away from politics, Vance is a venture capitalist. And his values as an investor are far muddier. His VC firm, Narya, is an investor in Hallow, a prayer app that’s caught flak for allegedly seeking to profit off the intimate religious data of its users. Narya is also a backer of Rumble, the far-right “free speech” video service that competes with YouTube in the same way the noxious Gab counters Twitter — platforming noxious creators who’ve been kicked out of more respectable corners of the internet.

Vance’s VC firm also backs a $200 million biotech startup called AmplifyBio. In addition to Narya’s holdings, Vance declared he personally owns as much as $100,000 in the company’s non-public stock
...
Kingdragonfly: lots of unpleasant reading on monkeys and dogs experiments, and accidental killings
..
Tthe research conducted at AmplifyBio also calls into question if Vance’s far-right religious values end where his profit motive begins. AmplifyBio tests cell therapies and other drugs that are likely derived from stem cell lines, including those recovered from aborted fetuses or live embryos.

Such stem cell research drives vital innovation in modern health care, but it is anathema to those on the religious right who contend that life begins at conception.

Kingdragonfly: even more unpleasant reading on animal testing
