Just a retired person trying to make sense of it all. Interested in re-wilding, sustainable farming, archaeology, immigration, and fungi. I do my darnest to separate fact from fiction. Wanted to be a librarian and play the bagpipes but life didn't turn out that way.

BrianKrebsInvestigative journalist Jacqueline Sweet just published a helluva scoop over at Rolling Stone that looks into the background of a guy I mentioned the other day: Sam Corcos, one of several people named as allowed to access Treasury/IRS data. WaPo reported the other day, without providing much background into Corcos, that he had shown up at Treasury demanding access to all taxpayer records.
tl;dr: Corcos's wife is a Russian woman who spent years at the venture capital firm GVA Capital, which has been exposed as a money laundering vehicle for Suleyman Kerimov, a sanctioned Russian oligarch.
I published a story yesterday based on research into a DOGE guy who is now director of IT at X. The story looked his and his wife's past connections to a series of Russian foundations in California. As that story noted, Jacqueline was super helpful in that reporting, and she credits me for helping with her research.

Erin ReedRep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor.
The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes!
This is the power of representation.
Leftist LawyerTo those wondering when the #Democrat pushback will come, it won't.
Their strategy is "we told you so."
The sad thing is it will likely work.
I predict Trump will lose his #House and #Senate majorities after the #midterms ... then they'll successfully impeach him.
Then we'll go back to "fascist lite" business as usual #WallStreet boot licking.
The way to prevent business as usual is to PRIMARY the incumbent democrats.
That is what made the #TeaParty so wildly effective in shifting this country to the so hard to the right.
Primary the business as usual democrats. Take. Them. Out.

Tucson SentinelU.S. Forest Service firings decimate already understaffed agency: ‘It’s catastrophic’ https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/030225_forest_service_cuts/us-forest-service-firings-decimate-already-understaffed-agency-its-catastrophic/
The U.S. Forest Service, which stewards 193 million acres of public lands from Alaska to Florida, was in trouble even before Trump took office - but now, Forest Service workers fear this isn’t just the end of the line for their dream careers, but also a turning point for public lands.
