The abuse the ex wife of the Maine ICE agent details in NPR interview is horrifying, including a 2022 police report of throwing his 13 year old daughter through a coffee table, a voice mail from last year saying her throat should be cut, and pulling a gun on her in the shower. She questions if ICE runs even a basic background check on recruits.

The reason this is illegal in boxing and mma is because its literally a killing punch, attacking someone in that place can kill him

Argentina literally was 5cm away from killing someone in the pitch and it wasnt even called a foul, welcome to 2026 israel cup

A very annoying thing that happens now is that people who know nothing about a subject will "consult" AI, get the wrong information, and then try to "correct" you on a subject you actually know something about. They treat AI like the Oracle of Delphi

Pete Hegseth's mother on Pete Hegseth:

"I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego.

"You are that man and have been for years.

"As your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that."

Imagine announcing you'll expose failures from an election that happened entirely under your own watch.

Trump's big document release tonight, supposedly meant to prove China stole the 2020 election, includes this classified intel graphic making clear that Russia was the only country trying to meddle in American voting systems.

Fascism is here. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention.

“Left-wing political terrorism” will mean those who oppose the regime — while actual right-wing extremism is allowed to grow and thrive.

We are very far off the cliff, folks.

Document Declassified by Trump Reveals Russia Tried To Help Him Win the 2020 Election

What does a post-election audit look like?

In Arizona, the political parties randomly select batches of boxes.

Then, volunteers from the political parties sit in pairs of two (R and D) and they hand tally the selected ballots.

Then they compare that count with the sealed machine count.

Why is this important?

Because if the machines were hacked, or poorly programmed, or malfunctioned, then it would be revealed in the audit hand count.

......

Georgia was even more intense in November 2020.

It recounted every single ballot.

A reminder:

Just three years ago, Fox paid $787.5M after some of its stars followed 2020 election lies from Trump camp off a cliff

He brings election fraud "evidence" to a camera before a courtroom, and that should tell you everything you need to know. Good night.

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

All the docs released by the President clearly say:

-China accessed public data and didn’t interfere

-Russia interfered, spread lies about Biden, Burisma, and “rigged” elections to benefit Trump

They just expect MAGA to be too dumb to read.

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

And there you have it.

Donald Trump released these documents tonight believing they would finally prove the 2020 election was rigged against him.

Instead, his own release reinforced the exact opposite: Russia interfered to damage Joe Biden and benefit Donald Trump.

The central @HunterBiden -Burisma bribery smear was built on fabricated claims from an FBI informant with Russian contacts, a man now serving six years in federal prison. Meanwhile, Hunter Biden is winning millions in court over defamatory lies.

Trump tried to expose a conspiracy against himself and accidentally exposed the operation that benefited him.

Absolute, breathtaking incompetence.

Thanks for releasing the receipts, Donald!

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

NYT's overall take on tonight's speech: "President Trump laid out a purported effort by China to undermine him. But the documents posted by the White House did not back up his claims."

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

Probably worth noting: Trump’s main evidence of China trying to interfere in our elections is about China targeting Joe Biden, not him.

Maybe the real question is: Why did China want Trump to be president instead of Biden?

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

FYI nothing in the save America act protects our election infrastructure from hacking

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Trump held a national address to admit that in 2020, his administration covered up Chinese influence in US elections.

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe Democrats were capable of stealing the 2020 election while out of power, but somehow incapable of doing the same in 2024 while in power. That is a categorically, phenomenally dumb thing to believe.

[Juliette Kayyem @juliettekayyem]

Do not laugh about this speech. It’s impossible to follow but he’s directly challenging our right to vote. The president of the United States is lying in order to wage war on our democracy and against the states. I don’t care your politics; everybody should be outraged.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

Trump released documents that confirm Russia tried to interfere in the 2020 election to hurt Biden. It says Russia tried to "orchestrate a high-profile corruption scandal" and push narratives about "voter fraud resulting from mail-in balloting"
