apparently the only time wittgenstein visited america was a 10 week vist to cornell in 1949, meaning that the most important philosopher of the 20th century's sole impression of the united states was ithaca.

People easily forget what Robert Mueller was tasked with investigating: evidence of conspiracy and obstruction of justice. In the course of that investigation, a dozen GRU officers attached to Unit 26165 were indicted, as were Yevgeny Prigozhin, two of his shell companies, and a dozen of his troll farm employees. The charges leveled against these Russians were conspiracy to commit offenses against, or defraud, the United States, identity theft, money laundering and wire and bank fraud. The Mueller investigation wasn't, properly speaking, a counterintelligence investigation. That work fell to the Republican-led Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), which released its conclusions in five different volumes beginning in July 2019, far more comprehensive and detailed than the Mueller Report, although they individually and collectively garnered a fraction of the attention. "No probe into this matter has been more exhaustive," said the acting SSCI head in August 2020, when the fifth and final volume was released. He was right and deserves a lot of credit in getting to the bottom of Russian active measures and election interference in the 2016 presidential contest. His name was Marco Rubio.

@JohnnyCallicutt Have a restful weekend!

According to @nytimes, "after selling his company in 2021, Markwayne Mullin reported less than 30 stock trades in 2022...In 2023, his first year as a senator, Mr. Mullin reported more than 100 trades, rising to more than 130 trades last year." nytimes.com/2026/03/15/us/…

New York State Dem @SenatorCooney tells our @JasonBeeferman the state should think bigger when it comes to investing in transportation infrastructure. "High Speed Rail can be the Erie Canal of 2026 and beyond," he said at @POLITICOLive's Albany Summit.

The @Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, is out with a major new research study showing that immigrants, both legal and illegal, contribute significantly more in taxes than they receive in public benefits. And there's more: because immigrants (both legal and not) are such large net-contributors of tax revenue, they also structurally reduce government budget deficits.

"Using archived government records and news accounts, The Post and Courier found that the woman provided verifiable details to agents about her family background and its legal entanglements. She offered the name of an Epstein business associate on Hilton Head Island who became a central figure in the drama, with specifics that are reflected in public records." postandcourier.com/news/epstein-v… via @postandcourier

Happy international women’s day

Russia is providing Iran with intelligence about the locations and movements of American troops, ships and aircraft, according to multiple people familiar with US intelligence reporting on the issue. The US also has intelligence suggesting that China may be preparing to provide Iran with financial assistance, spare parts and missile components, three people familiar with the matter said, though Beijing has stayed out of the war up until now. cnn.com/2026/03/06/pol…

That is insane: "Biden’s pardons eliminated roughly $680,000 in financial penalties owed to victims or the government. In contrast, Trump’s second-term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion."

Russia has shared targeting intelligence with Iran, including locations of American military assets in the Middle East, as Tehran unleashes a barrage of drone and missile strikes against the US and its allies. ft.com/content/19be57…

my latest for CNN: Trump and his top officials warned for **years** war with Iran would waste American lives, be destabilizing, costly, and not in our interest. One example: Trump: "He’ll start a war, you know, lives will be wasted for no reason.” Hannity: "That would be the most chilling abuse of powers, what you're describing in American history." Trump: "It will be in a mess."

McGovern: Republicans can't answer because they were against war with Iran until exactly the second Donald Trump decided to go to war, and now they're all running around sounding like neocon lunatics.  America can't take this level of gaslighting. I went to the classified briefing. There was no imminent threat, I guess, unless Republicans want to redefine the word imminent to mean stretching back 47 years.  This whole thing is just so transparently built on lies. Republicans went from imminent threat to regime change to nukes, back to imminent threat in the last 24 hours. This is Iraq 2.0. I still remember the lies about WMDs. I voted against that war, too. At least George Bush had the decency to lie to people's face. It's not Donald Trump's kids that will have to go fight and die for their draft dodging dad. It's not the children of of the billionaire Epstein class. It's working class kids who are going to put their lives on the line. Shame on Republicans. I'm sick of this bs. We're spending billions of dollars a day on a war, and we can't even get Republicans to join us to expand health care in America. How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

Neguse: Where is this company headquartered? Noem: I don’t know. Neguse: I don’t know either. We can’t find it. We did find an address that’s registered to a political operative. This company that received 143 million dollars was incorporated 8 days before this contract went out. You want the American people to believe that this is all above board, that $143 million of taxpayer money just happened to go to this one company that doesn't have a headquarters, doesn't have a website, has never done work for the federal government before and is registered apparently or attached to a residence from a political operative, and of course one of the subcontractors of that contract, as you know, is a political firm that's tied to, to you back when you were governor of South Dakota?

This is one of my fave etymologies bc not only does it come from jokingly misspelling all correct as ‘oll korrect’, it was invented by an 1830s Boston newspaper editor who spent 30+ years writing + printing fake news and slang to make fun of middle class society types
