Obama Says Press Intimidation, Efforts to ‘Silence Critics’ Are Not ‘Unique’ to One Party in America

Former president Barack Obama asserted that “anti-democratic sentiment” is not “unique to one party” during an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour that is set to air in full at 10pm on Thursday night, though he did argue it is “most prominent” in the GOP.

The Titan Sub Imploded On Sunday

The U.S. Coast Guard says a missing submersible imploded near the wreckage of the Titanic, killing all five people on board.

Coast Guard officials said during a news conference Thursday that they've notified the families of the crew of the Titan, which has been missing for several days. Debris found during the search for the vessel “is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel,” said Rear Adm. John Mauger of the First Coast Guard District.

‘Titanic’ director James Cameron on the ‘catastrophic implosion’ of Titan submersible: “I’m struck by the similarity of the Titanic disaster itself, where the captain was repeatedly warned about ice ahead of his ship and yet he steamed at full speed into an ice field."

Republicans Are Giving Golf A Bad Name

After Ron DeSantis, an avid golfer, moved into the Florida governor’s mansion in 2019, workers installed a golf simulator worth tens of thousands of dollars in the private pool cabana so he could practice his game.

But DeSantis did not pay for the simulator. Neither did the state government. Instead, it was funded by a wealthy donor and prominent businessman, Morteza Hosseini, according to four sources familiar with the matter and state government records.

We need a law that says both elected and appointed members of government may not accept gifts of any kind, no plane flights, no accommodations, no money, no favors, no dinners, nothing,

Republican Shenanigans

House GOP members not happy with Lauren Boebert for forcing a vote to impeach Joe Biden. In conference, Speaker McCarty argued against it, per attendees. Many are opposed.

Is There Such A Thing As A Mass Impeachment? Because The U.S. Supreme Court Sure Needs It.

In early July 2008, Samuel Alito stood on a riverbank in a remote corner of Alaska. The Supreme Court justice was on vacation at a luxury fishing lodge that charged more than $1,000 a day, and after catching a king salmon nearly the size of his leg, Alito posed for a picture. To his left, a man stood beaming: Paul Singer, a hedge fund billionaire who has repeatedly asked the Supreme Court to rule in his favor in high-stakes business disputes.

Singer was more than a fellow angler. He flew Alito to Alaska on a private jet. If the justice chartered the plane himself, the cost could have exceeded $100,000 one way.

Clarence Thomas: "I am the most unethical justice in the history of the Supreme Court."
Sam Alito: "Hold my expensive bottle of wine!"

FBI Director Christopher Wray ‘Quashed’ DOJ Plan to Prosecute Trump Associates’ Role in January 6, Per Report

FBI Director Christopher Wray ‘Quashed’ DOJ Plan to Prosecute Trump Associates’ Role in January 6, Per Report

While supporters of former president Donald Trump have accused the FBI of being politically motivated when they indicted Trump on 37 charges, The Washington Post reports that the same agency initially delayed their investigation into Trump’s role in January 6 and the attempt to steal the 2020 presidential election.

Since the indictment against Trump was unsealed, right-wing critics have lambasted the FBI, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and Attorney General Merrick Garland ...

The Fine Art of Projection By Bill Barr

Former Attorney General Bill Barr called former President Trump a “consummate narcissist,” adding that the former president regularly “engages in reckless conduct.”...Barr said Sunday that Justice Department “had no choice but to seek those documents.” Barr has also previously called the indictment “damning” against Trump, saying that the former president was “wrong” to take classified documents.

Study Finds More Americans Taking On Third Job To Help Keep CEOs Afloat - The Onion

Ron DeSantis Is Gonna Get Sued

A new Florida law changes how cars can be sold in the Sunshine State, hampering the nation's largest automakers while boosting electric vehicle makers.

Gov. Ron DeSantis this week approved HB 637, which bars legacy automakers from offering a direct-to-consumer or online sales option if the company already sells vehicles in the state through dealership. That means companies with existing car lots — like Ford and General Motors — are included in the ban.
