This is a good read. Judge Chutkan is on the job, fairly & unbiased. Obviously the felon is running scared. Excellent read of all I’ve read about this earlier yesterday.  - A Real Judge Let this sink in: " The U.S. government seized 32 internet domains created by Russia in violation of U.S. money laundering and criminal trademark laws, the Justice Department said in a news release." An example of the fake site is given as well. This is quite a publication, and worth the time to read. -   DOJ uncovers Russian plot to influence Jews in US elections – The Forward Podcast worth listening to. This is not the first I’ve listen to with Haviv Rettig Gur. Good podcast that's a bit over 35 minutes in length. Definitely worth a listen. This is the second time I've listened to him on a podcast. -  What Matters Now to Haviv Rettig Gur: Israel's Sophie's Choice on hostages | The Times of Israel Isarel-Amas War Latest: An American woman is killed in the West Bank durin...

DOJ Catches Moscow's Covert American Influencers. Yeah, the corporate media do pose a threat to all of us. We do need to be vigilant, because those of us who have been watching their " interference in our elections".   - Ending the MAGA-Russian Propaganda Machine Good read. - Chatkan says 2024 election 'not relevant' in deciding Trump criminal case timeline  A short clip only here. - A Clip F...

But how does this help the rest of us? It's still  exacerbating  the problem, you know, climate change. A time will come when where this tax money will go will end, and then what? Explain that to me. -   Berkeley's gas plan was blocked in court. Now a new plan has emerged.  I stand with Sabine Taasa and her family. I stand with the Israeli families whose family members have either been murdered by Ham@s or still held hostage. I stand with  Israel. If you have a problem with that, ask me if I care what you think. - Oct. 7 survivor tells UN to 'stop blaming us' for war, focus on blow to Israeli kids Something many of us look forward to happening. - Secretary Haaland Upholds Protections for 28 Million Acres os Alaska Public Lands What the right wing is up to in their spread of misinformation. Yes thesis an important read. We need to stay on top of this to protect ourselves. Not all of us remain focused on what they're trying to do, so it's up to us few who do ...
