Why was @BostonDefender sharing with Aidan Kearney information about hearing requests for defense filings that was not yet public?

Even more concerning, why was David Yannetti coordinating with Kearney to keep the sharing of that information concealed from the prosecution?

Why did all parties involved, Read, her attorneys, and Kearney repeatedly lie to the public about their communications?

Why would such a plan to obscure and mislead be necessary?

Can we just step back and realize how messed up it is to put your name on someone's memorial in the first place???

The merger of Warner Bros and Paramount is not a done deal and remains under investigation by my office.

[Carolina Forward @ForwardCarolina]

On Friday evening, the Republican leaders of North Carolina's state legislature dropped a big, unannounced, 36-page omnibus bill stuffed to the brim with new voting restrictions and elections changes.

This thing is a voter suppression wishlist. Just some of its major provisions:
👉 Total ban on encouraging voter turnout: State and county board members are prohibited from any public statement "encouraging or promoting voter turnout in any election"
👉 Grants the Republican State Auditor total discretion to audit all machines, county offices and personnel involved in any election
👉 Reduces campaign finance transparency: the bill significantly raises the dollar thresholds for required reporting of dark money contributions or media expenditures, waiving reporting for the rest
👉 Requires voters to register with a political party a full year before voting in that party's primary election (up from 90 days)
👉 Total ban on any ranked-choice voting in any primary or general election statewide
👉 Strips some overseas voters of their eligibility to vote in any state elections
👉 Partisan staffing: changes up to 25 professional staff at the State Board of Elections from career civil staff to partisan political appointees
👉 Bans paid petition gathering

This bill just dropped last night and may not be online yet (they like to take their time). We got a full draft of the bill here: https://t.co/CMBAsV4Mtw

BREAKING: An Economics Professor Just Made A Pretty Stunning Argument About Elon Musk.

According to the professor, Musk spent roughly $250 million during the 2024 election cycle.

He claims that's just 0.025% of Musk's wealth.

In other words, the amount spent was so small relative to Musk's fortune that he could theoretically spend the same amount thousands of times over.

That's a democracy question, not just a money question.

Ellison gets what he wants-- control over Paramount.

Trump gets what he wants -- a neutered CNN.

OBAMA: $1.7 billion to reduce Iranian uranium stockpile for 98% and cap enrichment at 3.67%

TRUMP: $23 billion for just a commitment to TALKS about uranium and nuclear program.

This isn’t a deal.
Trump surrendered.

Trump surrendered

This would deny eligible people the right to vote. Full stop. The president doesn't have the power to pick and choose who gets to vote. It’s absolutely clear in the Constitution: states run elections. #oregon #orpol

Absolutely massive scoop by @emilypont: The Trump administration is giving up defending the president's offshore wind permitting freeze in court

DHS and ICE have deployed recruitment ads featuring white nationalist slogans, songs, and imagery while lowering recruitment standards—facilitating the hiring of agents with histories of violent extremism.

You don't say...

"being an activist by fundraising and advocating for Read is strictly forbidden for journalists, says Joan Donovan, an assistant professor of journalism and emerging media studies at Boston University.

Meanwhile, being an entertainer can be problematic, too. “He is not a journalist; he is an Internet provocateur,” says former Globe columnist and professor emerita of journalism at Brandeis University Eileen McNamara, who created the university’s ethics course.

“Journalism is about verification. It is not about assertion. Journalists have an obligation to independently confirm what we publish. He doesn’t do that.… He’s not approaching people he interviews with an open mind to learn what might have happened on the night when Officer O’Keefe was killed. He’s confronting them to produce entertainment.”

Taxpayers paid for over $38 billion in subsidies and government contracts for Space X, and Elon Musk gets to be a trillionaire off of our tax dollars.

🚨 BREAKING: Former FBI Agent Michael Feinberg exposes a massive nationwide conspiracy.

He confirms the Trump administration's illegal voter intimidation in Ohio is directly tied to their plot to overturn the election.

The White House is operating on lunatic theories!

[Epstein File Search @epsteinsearchin]

When Trump's team interviewed Alex Acosta for Labor Secretary, they asked about the Epstein plea deal.

Acosta told them he'd been ordered to back off. That Epstein "belonged to intelligence."

They hired him anyway.

That email is in the files. EFTA00076059.
