I sure hope the judge lets discovery go forward on vindictive prosecution while she deliberates unlawful appointment. Otherwise, we’ll never find out the full facts.

The Great Climate Insurance Collapse is coming. Fossil fuel corruption blocks Congress from responding to it, or in some cases even from seeing it.
www.npr.org/2025/11/13/n...
Want climate fairly considered in Congress? Stop Big Oil’s multi-billion dollar campaign of dark-money corruption and lies. Start by pointing out the largest fraud and corruption campaign in U.S. history.
Want innovation on fossil fuel emissions? Give innovation a revenue proposition by stopping “pollute-for-free.” “Pollute-for-free” was always wrong morally and economically; it has now become actually dangerous.
The thumb on the economic scale is huge. IMF analysis shows a subsidy over $700 billion every year in the U.S. alone from “pollute-for-free.” $700 billion. No wonder there's so much dark money corruption and climate denial fraud.
By ignoring massive corruption by the fossil fuel industry, and massive wrongful subsidy of fossil fuel by allowing “pollute-for-free” business model, Gates gave aid and comfort to the deniers: “Bill Gates says innovation is going to solve this,” I often heard.

Sounds like the top DOJ officials who have seen the Epstein files are personally trying to prevent those files from getting out. What are they hiding?
The party that developed partisan “bulk gerrymandering” (aka RedMap), and convinced SCOTUS it was “nonjusticiable,” and pushed all year for more gerrymandering, is now going to court to argue against a partisan gerrymander.
. @crow.house.gov has it right. And combat cred to boot.
“Take risks. Be bold. If something doesn’t work, move on. Be authentic. Be independent. Courage is contagious. So be the leader, and others will follow.”
Now that they’re caught and can’t cook up a secret settlement with MAGA Bondi to line their own pockets.
What a steaming pile this is.
Insurance bozos are still insuring and investing in the fossil fuel plants that are destroying insurance — an historically stupid self-inflicted wound.
Who could possibly have guessed MAGA Bondi would protect Trump at any cost?
With enough solar, energy is free.
So much for the lies that renewable energy is expensive.
Plus, this smart plan encourages energy use during the free hours, which lowers costs by lowering demand in the other hours.
All of the times I’ve wondered what Putin had on Trump, and now we find out Jeffrey Epstein was talking to Putin’s ambassador about Trump.
Totally normal behavior for someone who’s definitely not guilty.
It’s not Pokrovsk “falling” — it’s a wood chipper into which Russia is feeding its army. The battle line on any day in the shattered remains of this destroyed village matters less than the battle damage to Russian army.
Just got off zoom w Zelenskyy and a few senators. The massacre of Russians coming in to Pokrovsk is brutal and constant, Russia’s worst casualties since they invaded.
