Leonard Leo has spent decades building a well-funded network influencing the U.S. judiciary. As Senator Sheldon Whitehouse states @2:07, "a billionaire dumped on Leonard Leo a $1.6 billion slush fund." He outlines how this ecosystem operates--and why it matters for judicial independence and public trust.

Worth understanding how these relationships shape the courts:

Folter ist ein System. Und das wird hier mit kühler Präzision seziert. Scott Z. Burns rekonstruiert die jahrelange Recherche des US-Senatsmitarbeiters Daniel J. Jones zur systematischen Anwendung sogenannter „Enhanced Interrogation Techniques“ durch die CIA nach 9/11. Und was dabei sichtbar wird, ist weniger das Monster im Verhörraum als die institutionelle Architektur seiner Legitimation. Mit Adam Driver, Annette Bening und Jon Hamm. (ARD, Free-TV-Premiere)

Nice. Sen #SheldonWhitehouse just mentioned that #KilmarAbregoGarcia has an excellent #BivensAction complaint against #Trump et al.

#DeepCut but exactly on the nose.

A Bivens action generally refers to a lawsuit for #damages when a federal officer who is acting in the color of federal authority allegedly violates the US #Constitution by federal officers acting.

👏👏👏

#DEMOCRATIC #SENATORS have got to stop talking the talk and start walking the walk!

#CONGRESSIONAL #DEMOCRATS must #SUBPOENAELONMUSK!

#DEMS must hold their own public probes of #ElonMusk #Musk #DOGE in front of cameras, even if the hearings are in a broom closet at the #US #Capitol!

#SheldonWhitehouse #AmyKlobuchar #DickDurbin #ChrisCoons #ChuckSchummer and #TammyDuckworth, to name a few, have been talking tough for years while slow walking #USA into #FASCISM hand in hand with #Republicans.

The #DemocraticParty had #4YEARS to #PROBE #JaredKushner and #IvankaTrump and the #2BILLION #Kushner and #Trump illegally acquired from #SaudiArabia yet they did #NOTHING!

#SENATE DEMOCRATS #FAILED to hold even #1HEARING on #DonaldTrump #Trump #CRIMES WHILE IN OFFICE!

The #FAIL of #JoeBiden and #MerrickGarland's #DOJ is matched only by the #FAILURE of #SENATEDEMOCRATS!

DEM SENATORS have proven they care more about maintaining the #StatusQuo than #Justice and #Liberty for #All.

#SUBPOENAMUSK!

Sen #DickDurbin, a #Democrat, & Sen #LindseyGraham, a #Republican, plan to introduce a bill that would set an expiration date of Jan 1, 2027, for #Section230, acc/to a congressional aide familiar…. The senators have wide support from their respective parties: #Republicans #JoshHawley & #MarshaBlackburn & #Democrats #SheldonWhitehouse & #AmyKlobuchar have agreed to co-sponsor the bill. 2 more Dems, #RichardBlumenthal & #PeterWelch, have discussed cosponsoring.

Senator #SheldonWhitehouse (D-RI) recited quotations from snr first-term Trump admin officials saying #KashPatel is completely #unqualified & #inappropriate to run the #FBI He cited Patel’s behavior & statements, including vowing to go after the #media & reposting a social media image showing him cutting off the heads of political adversaries of #Trump with a chainsaw.

"Instead, they see exactly what you just pointed out which is; here are billionaires giving to Democrats, here are billionaires giving to Republicans, it's all a racket. Nobody's interested in me, to hell with it, let's vote for the biggest disruptor.

And that's why you end up with a charlatan criminal like Trump as .. next President."
