Bill Barr sabotaged an investigation into whether Egypt funneled a $10 million donation to the 2016 Trump campaign that, if it occurred, would have covered Trump's personal loan to the campaign in the same amount. wapo.st/3SxAkvO

$10M cash withdrawal drove secret probe into whether Trump took money from Egypt

Then political appointees shut the case down.

I'm going to beg people to consider that Trump isn't a coin flip from being your dictator by accident. He knows what he's doing, and part of what he's doing is making you think it's all haphazard and doomed.I'm going to beg people to consider that Trump isn't a coin flip from being your dictator by accident.

A Missouri woman in the midst of a dangerous miscarriage was denied an abortion because of the state's ban. Then she was denied an abortion in Kansas. Finally, she drove several hours to get one in Illinois. She's now filed a federal lawsuit for sex discrimination + violation of her EMTALA rights.

Two years ago, Mylissa Farmer was denied an emergency abortion at hospitals in Missouri and Kansas while experiencing a miscarriage.

The thing is...Trump has succeeded in the past by leaning in to each transgressive-to-grotesque thing he says. He's gotten by as folks in the media have normalized Trump's extremism as Trump-being-Trump. Now is (or at least feels) different. The hate, and hence the emperor, is naked.

JD also helped start Rumble, which helps fund neo-Nazis. People haven't even gotten into his true freakiness yet.JD also helped start Rumble, which helps fund neo-Nazis. People haven't even gotten into his true freakiness yet.

One thing that is wild about having made a six episode audio doc about sex testing is watching nearly identical things be said about athletes in 1928, 1968, 2009, and 2024. It is like a warped, Groundhog Day nightmare.
