@SecurityWriter what a huge relief! I think many were holding their breath, hoping the temutrump did not gain power. Instead the good people in his electorate dumped him. Now the fight for liberal party leadership is visible. And what a bunch of nutters to choose from. 1 that is thick a 2 planks, 1 magat, 1 extremist Christian, 1 who is a sandwich short of a picnic. All having qualities to sustain the unelectability of their brand.

The Spanish empire used the priesthood to destroy local literature & fed a narrative of "these barbarians need to be educated in the church" while taking opportunities from a pandemic to conquer.

Nazis used religion to thwart women from public life in their version of "barefoot, poor, & pregnant in the kitchen"

@[email protected] but the orange felon is wearing a suit.
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.
