Hunter Biden’s lawyer said Thursday that prosecutors caved to House Republicans’ political pressure when they secured an indictment of the first son.

Just hours after a grand jury indicted Hunter Biden on charges related to gun possession, his top defense attorney, Abbe Lowell, sent a tranche of documents to three congressional committees.

The materials were accompanied by a cover letter lambasting the three Republican committee chairs investigating the Biden family. POLITICO obtained the letter and is publishing it here, along with some of the materials.

Those materials include a lengthy letter Lowell sent to the Justice Department accusing...

Exactly!
Bananas were was beta-tested but found to be unpredictable & easily smushed, so a new material was adopted — boomerangs are “bananas 2.0.”
Prove me wrong!

The WHO’s message
is quite clear:
“if you’re due
for an additional dose
of COVID-19 vaccine,
don’t wait,
get it now,
especially if you’re in
an at risk group”
which is the type of message
you emphatically send
when you know
the emergency isn’t really over.

The sewer continues to rise.

Wow!😳 Texas teacher fired after assigning an illustrated Anne Frank book

Censoring one of the most important works documenting the Holocaust and punishing the teacher who dared teach it is pretty much in line with what fascists do. Horrific antisemitism.

The Koch dark money machine was first launched for the purpose of quashing the federal indictment over crimes against the Osage that promised to put Charles Koch behind bars for a decade. This is an investigation I’ve worked on quietly for 27 years: the genesis of the Koch brothers’ billions — and the creation of the Kochs’ political Death Star.

You and me both!! It's sexist, racist, passive aggressive, incredibly outdated, and more. How would they deal with a Native American or Orthodox Jewish boy, whose hair has religious/spiritual/cultural meaning? Plus, they're disregarding state law. Hopefully our outrage (& sharing) will help shame the school. (& hopefully the specter of a hefty law suit will help them "see reason".

Liz Truss claiming from fund for ex-PMs despite serving just 49 days

Liz Truss has been claiming from the £115,000-a-year public fund awarded to former prime ministers despite only serving for 49 days.

Self serving and deluded. Typical Tory.
