Exclusive: Georgia prosecutors have messages showing Trump's team is behind voting system breach | CNN Politics

Days later, Hampton shared the written invitation to access the county’s election office with a Trump lawyer, text messages obtained by CNN show. She and another location elections official, Cathy Latham, allegedly helped Trump operatives gain access to the county’s voting systems, according to documents, testimony and surveillance video produced as part of a long-running civil lawsuit focused on election security in Georgia.

Latham, who also served as a fake elector from Georgia after the 2020 election, has come under scrutiny for her role in the Coffee County breach after surveillance video showed she allowed unauthorized outsiders to spend hours examining voting systems there.

Remember Alfa Bank? Michael Caputo? Burning that Israeli spy? 2 Billion from the Saudis? Chinese trademarks for coffins and voting machines? Oh yeah and the stripping of children from their parents' arms and locking them in freezing cages? Member?

‘Jackasses,’ ‘little s‑‑‑‑’: GOP congressman curses out teenage Senate pages

“Wake the f‑‑‑ up you little s‑‑‑‑. … What the f‑‑‑ are you all doing? Get the f‑‑‑ out of here. You are defiling the space you [pieces of s‑‑‑],” Van Orden said, according to the account provided by the page.
“Who the f‑‑‑ are you?” Van Orden asked, to which one person said they were Senate pages. “I don’t give a f‑‑‑ who you are, get out.”
“You jackasses, get out,” he added.
The incident, which occurred just after midnight, outraged members of the upper chamber, with one calling the string of remarks “horrible.”
Van Orden did not dispute the exchange and defended his actions when asked by The Hill.

Classy. republiQans are so cool.

Pentagon hit by ‘critical compromise’ of US air force communications – report

The warrant also recounted how witnesses and co-workers informed investigators that the engineer had allegedly “sold radios and radio equipment, worked odd hours, was arrogant, frequently lied, displayed inappropriate workplace behavior and sexual harassment, had financial problems, and possessed [Arnold air force base land mobile radio] equipment”.

. . . Investigators also reported to have found evidence which indicated that the searched contractor had possible access to FBI communications, as well as Tennessee state agencies, Forbes reported. The FBI is working alongside the air force on the investigation, according to the outlet.

. . . The Forbes report comes only three months after one of the worst leaks in US intelligence in over a decade. In that case, 21-year-old Jack Teixeira, an air national guardsman at the time, was arrested on suspicion of leaking hundreds of Pentagon documents.

He has since been charged under the Espionage Act.

Whatcha got there is one o’ them MAGAnazis.

"Democrats should bail them out again"

Nope. Remember the orange rapist they cheered into a gruesome idiotic coup attempt? Yeah and Dems should help them?

NO. WE'RE CLOSED. Red state idiot bastards. Don't want to get the shit shocked out of you, quit sticking a knife in the socket. No? BZZZT. This is not that difficult.

They're destroying institutions and defying science. That is their only purpose. They have no other common goals. We should not help them at all.

Even Trump's indictments haven't shattered the deadlock between the parties. Here's why

I think it’d be much more lopsided if corporate news wasn’t such a disgusting insult to an informed populace. They still refuse to call him a liar, or note that he was found guilty of sexual assault. Much less point out that he used russian intelligence to violate the DNC and federal election law. Or that he obstructed justice by firing Comey, intimidated any number of witnesses, and oh yeah is utterly incompetent to handle that position.

Don’t you agree CNN? NBC? WaPo? NYT? Yeah. Her emails. Free airtime. We know how committed you are to reporting truth. Right Chuck Todd? Still both sides, isn’t it?

The Weird, Fragmented World of Social Media After Twitter

The site has always been much smaller than Facebook, and it only mattered because politicians, journalists, and those who currently pass for public intellectuals were using it. Whether you read The New York Times or watched Fox News, you would encounter content that began its life on Twitter.

This article is a big long hot take. Which is fine, it's kind of entertaining. But yeah if you care what the NYT and Fox News are printing on a daily basis you might feel a little untethered at the moment. Understanding that the two are linked is so close to understanding . . . something.

With democracy on the ballot, the mainstream press must change its ways

Corporate News is for-profit and run by republiQans. It’s really that simple. Trump showed that corporate news will never do the right thing at the right time, even in the face of the most arrogant, ignorant, outrageous lies and attacks.

It’s time to stop pretending that corporate news can be “saved” and start accepting that it absolutely can not be saved. Then we can move on to a truer form of journalism. We have the ability to publish globally in our hands, literally.
