Lindsey Halligan Is Under Investigation by the Florida Bar

BREAKING NYT:

Lindsey Halligan, the ex-U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia who brought criminal cases against Trump's enemies over the objections of career prosecutors, is under investigation by Florida's bar association, according to a letter the organization sent last month.

In a different world you could imagine the conspiracy theory "attacked Venezuela in order to gain control of its oil supply as a hedge against an attack they knew they were planning on Iran," but no one can believe that these clowns thought that far ahead.

My kids secondary and primary schools in the East Midlands sent out emails about this. One sent an email saying it was a trend we had to be aware of, and the other sent one saying it's a viral hoax they want to warn us about.

Donald Trump insists there are no wind farms in China. Here are 20 of them – in pictures The US president has made the easily debunked claim that there are no wind farms in China

Wind farms in China - don’t tell you know who 🤫

Markwayne called Rand Paul a “freaking snake” last week and said he supported his neighbor beating the crap out of him. Let’s see who the chair of the Senate Homeland Security committee is…oh goody it’s Rand Paul.

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

A Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse Since receiving presidential pardons, dozens of former Capitol rioters have gotten into more legal trouble. In Florida, Andrew Paul Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse.

Has Isabel not shared her views yet ?

As revealed by my colleague @adambienkov.bsky.social last year, the BBC drew up a strategy to appeal more to Reform voters.

Might be waiting a while for them to do the same for Green voters...

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

A tense new Jan. 6 video shows Republican congressmen admonishing rioters trying to enter House chamber "You ought to be ashamed of yourself!" one Republican representative told rioters as they attempted to breach the House floor. "I’ve never had people act this way."

Trump's new DHS pick Markwayne Mullin has some relevant experience with homegrown violent extremism: www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

"Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas" is some hilarious bullshit title.

Pam Bondi will be right on that!

If you wanted any clearer evidence that Shield has been infiltrated by Hydra

So what does that mean for prices at the pump in the US?

The 2 advocacy groups trying to permit the public to see Jack Smith’s Vol 2 each tried to intervene before Judge Cannon twice—once in 2/25 and once in 2/26. She refused each time. They’re now asking to have all their appeals heard the week of June 22.

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey:

"Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".

An incredible retraction by the Daily Telegraph today. They have apologised for publishing an article last year headlined: “We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t afford to go on five holidays.” The entire story was fabricated; the family did not exist.

Trump admits there were no evacuation plans for Americans abroad due to his war with Iran "because it all happened very quickly."

would be cool if this was the average demeanor of a democratic senator while talking to gop flunkies instead of a gop senator on his way out the door

My Grandfather had Tourette’s. I know that he experienced prejudice and attempts to bully him. I’ve been pretty stunned that in the reaction to the Davidson episode, we’ve seen a lot of the ignorance that he, a man living his life in the mid 20th century, would have recognised only too well.

The number of commentators/journalists salivating at blaming Starmer for ruining the “special relationship” is genuinely pathetic

If anyone ruined it- if it even really exists- here’s a reminder of who did it.

Wow! Thoughtful, evidenced .. this is holding to account !
Bravo!

Jeez, the Daily Express?
