Former Wisconsin justice accused of ethics violations over 2020 election probe - The Washington Post
Republicans who control the state legislature hired Gableman to review the 2020 presidential election after Donald Trump lost the state. Gableman spent months consulting with conspiracy theorists as he conducted a secretive, shambolic investigation that culminated with him telling lawmakers they should consider revoking the state's 10 electoral votes — a proposal he privately acknowledged was "a practical impossibility."…
Trump picks Dr. Oz to oversee Medicare, Medicaid, and Affordable Care Act - The Washington Post
Oz gained national attention for his appearances as a health expert on Oprah Winfrey's television show before hosting his own Winfrey-backed TV show that debuted in 2009 and ran for more than a dozen years. His claims on that show, including his segments on possible weight-loss regimens and dietary supplements, were frequently panned by public health experts...
Documents with damaging Gaetz testimony accessed in apparent breach - The Washington Post
Florida attorney Joel Leppard said in an interview with The Washington Post last weekend that one of his clients witnessed Gaetz having sex with the minor at a drug-fueled party in July 2017 — and that Gaetz was unaware of her age at the time but subsequently was told she was underage.
This woman and a second woman, also represented by Leppard, testified that they were paid by Gaetz to have sex with him and other individuals who attended these "sex parties." They were paid through Venmo or other conduits — including the PayPal of Nestor Galban, whom Gaetz has referred to as his "adopted son."
He has already fathered many children. Now Musk wants all of the US to embrace extreme breeding | Arwa Mahdawi | The Guardian
What sort of lessons would that entail? Teaching people that while a woman dies every two minutes due to pregnancy or childbirth – and maternal mortality rates are increasing in the US – it's childlessness you should be afraid of? It's easy for Musk, who will never have to carry any of the children he's so keen on having, to be blase about pregnancy risks: he can outsource them all. Still, you'd think he might be more sensitive to the issue considering the musician Grimes, with whom he shares three children, almost died during her pregnancy with son X Æ A-12. That led Grimes and Musk to use a surrogate for their next child...

Scalise preps vote on terrorism bill decried as a gift for Trump
The bill, also known as H.R. 9495, was introduced by Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., and would provide tax relief to Americans held hostage abroad. It would also give the U.S. Treasury unilateral authority to strip tax-exempt status from nonprofits deemed "terrorist supporting organizations." That's a frightening prospect given Trump's previous attempt to designate antifascist protesters as "terrorists," his classification of pro-Palestinian protesters as "pro-Hamas radicals," his open desire to quell dissent with violence, and his frequent classification of those who disagree with him as the "enemy from within."…
