Report: No Sanctions For Lawyers Who Ok'd Torture

What’s next for disgraced former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.)? Possibly a run for governor of the Sunshine State. In an interview he gave the Tampa Bay Times, published on Tuesday, Gaetz says he’s “starting to think about running for governor” in Florida next year. The state’s current Gov. Ron DeSantis is term-limited. Gaetz seems undeterred by the notion that his long record of controversies—including the House Ethics Committee report released last month that found evidence he “regularly” paid for sex, including once with a minor, and bought and used drugs, among other allegations—could impact his electability.

Four large fires have burned over 15,000 acres in 24 hours in Los Angeles County, with wind gusts reaching hurricane-level strength in one of the region’s most destructive fires in history.

But that didn't stop Trump bootlickers on Fox from pretending that this is all somehow normal, and sanewashing his comments about annexing Canada. MCENANY: Kennedy, there was some laughter when President Trump said the 501st state could be Canada.

Well isn't this SPECIAL. NBC News reports: "The company’s new guidelines prohibit insults about someone’s intellect or mental illness on Facebook, Instagram and Threads, as have previous iterations. However, the latest guidelines now include a caveat for accusing LGBTQ people of being mentally ill because they are gay or transgender. “We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality and common non-serious usage of words like ‘weird,’” the revised company guidelines read." In addition, users may now refer to women as "household objects" and non-binary people as "it." And Popular Information reports that Zuckerberg is taking big inspiration from President Musk, as Meta "move[s] its Trust and Safety and Content Moderation teams out of California and our U.

He wants to look like he's 'doing something.' In reality, he did everything imaginable to bring about these monster fires.

I’m excitedly watching to see how Musk’s efforts will shake things up, and how European leaders will respond.
