Guiliani and Trump offered pardons for sale
"Giuliani told alleged victim he was "SELLING PARDONS" for $2,000,000 each "which he and Trump would split" AND SHE HAS RECORDINGS AND EMAILS"

ldubhawksfan - what it means is that the FBI didn't have authority to use some of the investigate tools it used. It's not an exoneration. What will likely happen next is that there will be an investigation into the agents - who authorized what and why.

WTFFFFF 'The U.S. Secret Service is investigating how a man entered the home of President Biden’s national security adviser in the middle of the night roughly two weeks ago without being detected by agents guarding his house, according to three government officials. The unknown man walked into Jake Sullivan’s home at about 3 a.m. one day in late April and Sullivan confronted the individual, instructing him to leave, two of the people briefed on the incident said. There were no signs of forced entry at the home, according to one of the people. Sullivan has a round-the-clock Secret Service detail. But agents stationed outside the house were unaware that an intruder had gotten inside the home, located in the West End neighborhood of Washington, until the man had already left and Sullivan came outside to alert the agents, the two people said. The intruder appeared to be intoxicated and confused about where he was, according to people briefed on the incident. There is no evidence the person knew Sullivan or sought to harm him, they said. In a statement, the Secret Service said it has launched an investigation into the incident and how the intruder accessed Sullivan’s home undetected.' Intrusion at national security adviser’s home under investigation www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/05/16/national-security-adviser-home-intrusion/

TW:
Yesterday, there was a random mass shooting in a city in my state.
These are the victims that were driving by in a neighborhood around 10am.
Other tweets from the news person have the shooters details.
I am just shocked at how this keeps happening and feels closer each time.

There’s a report in our local paper that Senator Feinstein seemed to deny / be confused that she has been gone from DC. www.sfgate.com/politics/article/reporters-detail-concerning-feinstein-encounter-18103053.php“"Oh, I’m feeling fine. I have a problem with the leg," she replied, according to Newell. When another reporter waiting nearby asked her what was wrong with her leg, Newell said Feinstein responded by saying: "Well, nothing that’s anyone concern but mine." Then came the most notable part of the conversation: Newell recounted that when the other reporter asked Feinstein how her return to Washington had been received among her Capitol colleagues, she seemed to deny being gone. "No, I haven’t been gone," she reportedly said, before adding: "You should follow the — I haven’t been gone, I’ve been working." Newell said Feinstein "turned feisty" when she was asked to clarify whether she meant that she had been working from home. Her office had maintained that she was receiving updates about Senate business while she was recuperating in San Francisco. “No, I’ve been here. I’ve been voting,” she reportedly said. “Please, you either know or don’t know.”“

Ugh, I'm so sorry orangebird2020. We had a mass shooting in a neighborhood about 30 minutes from us in October, and it's just so disturbing.

Welp our gerry-mandered as fuck legislature just overrode the govenor's veto on their new law for 12 week abortions. It also makes it harder for clinics to operate here. Fucking bastards, and a hearty fuck you to Cotham for switching parties 🤬🤬🤬.

Big sigh of relief. The two new school board members that were voted on last night were the two candidates that are pro LGBTQ+. I was really nervous, we had a few super right wingers running and the town I live in definitely swings red. The LGBTQ community in my town has gotten very vocal as of late and our superintendent is very openly pro LGBTQ, so this makes me feel significantly better at the local level and for my children and the children in our district.

A privileged resolution is headed to the House floor today to expel George Santos from congress. It won't pass. It needs a 2/3 majority and, while there are republicans calling for his resignation or expulsion, there aren't many. Speaker Starburst wants to move to table and punt it to the Ethics committee. The House majority is such a dang mess.

Phew. Heather Boyd won. Pennsylvania's state legislature remains under Democratic control. Allegheny Co. got some big progressive wins last night too. Very happy with the results of our county executive and DA primaries in particular. Matt Dugan unseated the current DA who's been in office since 1998.

I'm really pleased with Fetterman btw. In the hearing with the SVP bank people he apparently went off script and asked if the bank executive thought there should be a work requirement for the execs of failed banks. That is the kind of shit Dems should be doing constantly.
