Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
Donald Trump tonight posted images on his social media network seemingly implying that he will oversee a "Unified Reich" as president. Will this be the official flag of the Trumpreich? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GOHGe6BWQAASXJB?format=jpg&name=small Edited to add that someone found t...

Re: Roe v Wade has been overturned. How do you feel about that?
Maryland's former governor, Larry Hogan, a moderate Republican running for U.S. Senate, claims in a new pro-choice campaign ad that he will introduce federal legislation to codify the abortion rights in Roe vs. Wade . He probably genuinely means that, and it's gratifying that both major candidates i...

A newly unsealed March 2023 opinion by Judge Beryl Howell, who at the time was the Chief Judge in the District of Columbia, reveals that even after the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago, there were two further occasions of multiple classified documents being found there. That included four documents that Tru...

Re: War between Hamas and Israel
It seems the International Criminal Court has yet to issue any warrants in the Ethiopian civil war , which has been raging since 2018 and resulted in 600,000 civilian deaths. Some people say this is because Ethopia never signed the Rome Statute that created the ICC. But while Israel signed, its leg...

This is old news (confirmed under oath in court today), but I hadn't heard this story before.

Cohen and Costello communicated at some length ab...

Melinda Gates resigned last week from the Gates Foundation. It was widely speculated that she did this in order to become more politically active.
Today Melina Gates donated $400 million to the Be a Hero PAC, the left-leaning organization founded by the late health-care advocate Ady Barkan.

Re: War between Hamas and Israel
The United States says the International Criminal Court has violated its own rules by asking for warrants on Netanyahu and Gallant.
And the prosecutors who requested the warrants were actually supposed to visit Israel today on a fact-finding mission but at the last minute didn't board their flight.

I've seen several videos purporting to show some Iranians cheering the news of their president's death. It's very difficult to verify such videos, and even if you could, wouldn't do so put those Iranians at risk of execution?
