Hey @Grok, concise, no spin.
HOW MANY of America’s 18 US INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES told Donald Trump that Iran DID NOT have a nuclear weapons program BEFORE he launched his war on Iran.
Start with the NUMBER.

About 70% of publishing professionals are women.
Because agents and editors tend to select books they personally relate to, an increasing number of male authors are being sidelined in the publishing industry, resulting in an overwhelming number of female protagonists on our shelves—and a dearth of male ones.
No wonder young men are no longer reading.

James Talarico traces 50 years of trickle-down back to one 1971 document, the Powell memo, a corporate blueprint to buy power
“In fact, you can, you can pinpoint this one document called the Powell memo, 1971.”
“But if you read this memo, it's basically a blueprint for how corporate interests can start to dismantle the Great Society and the New Deal”
“They're going to spend massive amounts of money in our politics, buying politicians in both parties, elevate corporate voices in media, appoint sympathetic judges.”
“And that has really been the story of the last 50 years in this country, last five decades.”

El-Sayed: "If they come for your rights, they're coming for all of our rights. Because rights are rights ... if we're committed that government should be able about providing you the basic needs of a dignified life and protecting your rights, let's all come together around that."

This ⬇️ - and dem leadership needs a come to Jesus moment on this - right now .
This is not about getting even . It’s about re establishing the rule of law to defend and preserve all of our rights -
If one of us commits a crime - say drives drunk - the cops don’t have the choice to say hey - go sleep it off . It’s their duty to enforce the law -
The only check on the executive branch is the congress - when they see crimes committed it’s their constitutional duty to enforce the law .
With Trump and his cronies there have been literally hundreds of crimes in plain sight.
Reminds me when neoliberals decided the law doesn’t apply to elites when the US
Ran privatized gulags and torture dungeons.
Obama says
” it’s time to move on “
Which meant I don’t want to enforce the law becouse it will be hard politically.
We are still paying a horrible price fir that dereliction of duty
Where’s the deterrent
Message is if an elite the law doesn’t apply to you - the law is just for the help

Pro tips for Election Day while you wait for polls to close:
1) Stop touching grass. Don’t go for a walk. Don’t exercise. Go home. Keep scrolling Twitter all day. The next tweet you see down your feed will definitely tell you what’s going to happen before anyone else knows.
2) Trust anonymous accounts. They are the most reliable sources of information today.
3) Overreact to everything. If you see someone say there are long lines at a Republican-heavy precinct, assume it’s a red wave nationally. If you see someone say a precinct is empty in a rural area, confidently declare that Democrats will win a supermajority in the Senate.
4) Anecdotes are to be trusted and extrapolated. Especially if they are from anonymous accounts (see #2), and especially if they are about how busy precincts are (see #3). Bonus points if they have a hammer and sickle or an American flag in their bio.
5) Don’t drink water. The whole “drink eight cups a day” adage is just Big Water™️ industry trying to make money off of you gullible sheep. Drink only coffee and energy drinks. Maybe a Four Loko circa 2010 if you can find one.
6) Look at the clock a lot. Contrary to popular opinion, time does go faster when you are watching the time.
