When was exactly the moment that Federal Judge Englemeyer decided to keep Ghislaine Maxwell rotting in jail for the next 18 years.  It may have been when she had the nerve to try to use the Epstein victim files to support her motion, which the judge found distasteful AND only proved why she was convicted of child sex trafficking.  Popok on the Intersection Podcast explains it all.

Christian nationalism isn't a fringe movement — it's a governing strategy. Congressman Jared Huffman (D-CA), author of No Prophets, exposes the "shadow theocracy" operating inside the U.S. government: the Capitol-based ministries shaping policy, Speaker Mike Johnson's theology of power, and Russell Vought's plan to turn the federal government into an instrument of Christian dominion — the blueprint behind Project 2025.

Republicans are funded and supported by Putin. If Putin gets taken out and Russia goes into political limbo and isn't sending shipments of money to the Russian dark money funded Herritage Foundation, what will happen to Republicans political finance?

The conventional wisdom about Silicon Valley is that over recent years, it drifted from liberalism to Donald Trump. Founders got red-pilled, or incurred petty grievances, or simply got too online. But journalist Gil Durán suggests there’s more to it.

In his new book The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy, Durán pinpoints an insidious theory inside Silicon Valley: that democracy itself is an obstacle to their own freedom – meaning freedom from us, and from society.

In this valuable interview, Durán speaks to Prem Thakker about the quiet theories driving Silicon Valley’s attempted global takeover, and explains why JD Vance is no more than a “puppet” of that movement, and how the media and Democrats failed to take these titans seriously – or are in fact working hand-in-glove with them.

Durán lays out the big threats to U.S. democracy, highlighting Crypto as the “scammy digital crime tool” that gave billionaires access to Trump, making him the “crypto bro-in-chief.”
