The NY Times says it’s “not clear“ why Trump is using taxpayer funds and not money from his super PAC for his self-glorifying ads. But it’s clear to me. It’s because HE‘S A CROOK.

You know when public attention can reverse a prosecutorial decision like this you almost get the sense that the decision to shrug it off in the first place was not based on an assessment of the quality of the evidence so much as an assessment of the seriousness of the crime.

Osama Bin Laden set out to destroy America. It worked, unfortunately. There is a hard line before and after this moment; it is when the ultra-racist, anti-Muslim faction of the right splintered and became more powerful. It is partially how we get into forever wars with the mid-east.

You know, honestly, more than monetary donations, if somebody worked at a company that had access to a lot of 18 terabyte and larger hard drives and could talk to us, that's where we are really suffering. The internet archive has no special priority in buying hard drives and those things are insane.

Wow.
$15,000-20,000 refundable tax credit (you get the money like a grant if your taxes aren't as high as the benefit) for keeping journalists hired.
$15,000 for hiring new ones.
$7,500 for hiring part-time.
For-profit, nonprofit, **sole-proprietors** — doesn't matter.
