The Supreme Court’s next term begins on Monday. It would be a great opportunity for the Court to finally act on a binding ethics code. And if the Court doesn’t act, Congress must.
If Trump is reelected, Justice Alito may retire. Justice Thomas too.
Trump would then be the first president in more than 50 years to appoint a majority of the Supreme Court.
And not just a “conservative” majority — but a MAGA majority.
SCOTUS is on the ballot this November.
Reporter: Trump is accusing the Biden Administration of using FEMA funding to support undocumented migrants.
KJP: The Washington Post fact checker did a piece and the headline was: No, Biden did not take FEMA relief money to use on migrants— but Trump did.
Report: Elon Musk Has Been Funding Trump’s Anti-Immigrant Mastermind
Donations uncovered by the Wall Street Journal reveal that Musk has spent millions to back anti-immigrant and anti-transgender initiatives.
And why he was urged to buy Twitter by his puppet master Peter Thiel who works w/Proj25. -Who also has influenced & used Mark Zuckerberg/FB against Democracy -& got Vance elected to Senate to get him as their proxy into WH. Trump is there to get Vance into WH.*NOT*other way around!

I remember when Trump insisted on prayer circles before taping ‘CA’ finales. J/K he would ask what Vanky was wearing, snort some Adderall and hit on anything within his reach while a coterie of goons & his idiot sons breathed thru their mouths & stared dead-eyed into the void.
The dockworkers strike is over.
According to reports, the union and shippers have reached an agreement that includes a 61.5% wage increase over 6 years.
A 61.5% increase in wages for dockworkers ain’t radical.
This shit is radical:
Wealth of ship owners
Aponte Family: $69.6 billion
Moller-Maersk Family: $21 billion
Fredriksen Family: $16.7 billion
Average Income of East Coast Dockworkers: $60,000
Starting wage: $20 an hour
Two days after Satoshi released the #Bitcoin Whitepaper, legend Hal Finney had an “amusing” thought experiment.
As an amusing thought experiment, imagine that Bitcoin is successful and becomes the dominant payment system in use throughout the world. Then the total value of the currency should be equal to the total value of all the wealth in the world.
Current estimates of total worldwide household wealth that I have found range from $100 trillion to $300 trillion. With 20 million coins, that gives each coin a value of about $10 million.
So the possibility of generating coins today with a few cents Of compute time may be quite a good bet, with a payoff of something like 100 million to 1!
Even if the odds of Bitcoin succeeding to this degree are slim, are they really 100 million to one against? Something to think about…
“With 20 million coins, that gives each coin a value of about $10 million.”

Even the second person to ever mine Bitcoin felt he’d missed out – just look at Hal Finney‘s final post. Fomo is crypto’s original sin
After a few days, bitcoin was running pretty stably, so I left it running.
Those were the days when difficulty was 1, and you could find blocks
with a CPU, not even a GPU. I mined several blocks over the next days.
But I turned it off because it made my computer run hot, and the fan
noise bothered me. In retrospect, I wish I had kept it up longer, but on
the other hand I was extraordinarily lucky to be there at the beginning.
It’s one of those glass half full half empty things.
The next I heard Of Bitcoin was late 2010, when I was surprised to find
that it was not only still going, bitcoins actually had monetary value. I
dusted Off my Old wallet, and was relieved to discover that my bitcoins
were still there. As the price climbed up to real money, I transferred the
coins into an offline wallet, where hopefully they’ll be worth something
to my heirs.
JUST IN: IMF urges El Salvador to limit the scope of #Bitcoin law.
They’re terrified

The Grift That Keeps On Grifting: Oklahoma’s Push For the Trump Bible
This stunning report is unsurprising, yet underscores how Oklahoma is working to pander to the former President.
Oklahoma is set to purchase 55,000 Bibles for public schools—but the state’s strict requirements demanded by superintendent Ryan Walters coincidentally don’t match any Bible in the world — except one: the Bible sold by Trump.
The only problem, however, is that due to the requirements set forth by the Department of Education, there are very few Bibles that work. One such bible is Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the U.S.A. Bible, which has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
Strip his clearances, end the contracts Musk joining Trump at rally
Apparently Musk will be joining Trump at an upcoming Pennsylvania rally, where the man whose companies do high security work for NASA and other agencies will presumably speak enthusiastically for a convicted felon and fascist who attempted to overthrow the U.S. government.
Musk’s security clearances should be stripped and government agencies should cease doing business with any of his firms as rapidly as practicable. Not to do so is walking into a disaster, eyes wide open. ~ L
Trump’s GoFundMe account for the storm victims WILL NOT GO TO STORM VICTIMS.
Let’s be clear: Donald Trump is only a figurehead at this point. It’s a machine much bigger than Donald Trump that’s going to try and steal this election. Our job is to stop that from happening.
Today the #FBI announced the seizure of 41 internet domains in an operation to counter Russian spear-phishing efforts undertaken by Center 18 of the Russian Federal Security Service:
Remember, Russian Oligarchs helped Elon buy Twitter.

Alito sent secret handshakes in his Opus Dei adjacent Dobbs decision. Leonard Leo is exposed in @gareth_gore new book Opus.
Supreme deceit: How Sam Alito snuck medieval state Christianity into the Dobbs opinion Alito’s opinion overturning Roe is literally built on fake history — and a sneak attack on the First Amendment.
Reporters – pay attention. Leo et al are in a Holy War. JD Vance in the White House is next step.
The more sophisticated AI models get, the more likely they are to lie “When incorrect answers were flagged, getting better at giving correct answers was one way to optimize things. [But] getting better at hiding incompetence worked just as well. Human supervisors simply didn’t flag wrong answers that appeared good and coherent enough to them.” #AI
“Lie” suggests intent, which is why “hallucinate” is a better word.
A Bill to reform financial privacy:
The Saving Privacy Act amends codifications of financial privacy laws, introduces prohibitions for central databases holding PII and CBDCs, and introduces criminal penalties for government officials.
Utah Senator Proposes Bill To Reform Financial Privacy
The Saving Privacy Act amends codifications of financial privacy laws, introduces prohibitions for central databases holding personally identifiable information and CBDCs, and reforms executive regulations and penalties.
AZ indicted 11 fake electors and Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, Mark Meadows, John Eastman and other Trump aides on 9 felony counts. Remember the Fake Electors were dumb enough to videotape their signing.
