Ghosts: tackles Capitalism

Ghosts got a tad subversive last week with Flower versus Trevor on the merits of Capitalism.

The debate commences in this clip..



Superstore is the only other recent network show to tackle some of these issues.

Speaking of Superstore...

Stargate Universe



Just recently went back and watched season 1 of SGU. DVD 📀 commentary was provided for the last 2 episodes by the actresses pictured above.

Alaina Huffman (right above) played Tamara Johansen and was pregnant during season 1. In the commentary she took an internet post talking about them seeing how she's always knocked up .. as a compliment 😉

The Night Agent

Just getting caught up with the Netflix series The Night Agent..



The actor that plays The Night Agent is a bit of a stiff but the storytelling is good.

One of the recurring themes in season 1

Spoiler Alert 🚨

Someone in the White House cannot be Trusted


We would give anything now to have just one or two bad apples in the White House

Anywho I look forward to Season 2

Sen Chris Murphy and Rep Maxwell Frost doing a John James townhall

Democratic Party leaders are doing a lot of good work out there.

John James is particularly galling for the cowardice he's shown with regard to the negative impact Trump's policies have in SE Michigan. Rolling back Civil Rights, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and now the death blow to Detroit with Auto Tariffs.

Robert Garcia is another just to name one more..

Ed Martin "swatted" USIP for DOGE

Not sure if this has been discussed here but the police state tactics being used by DOGE and Ed Martin (US Attorney for the District of Columbia) are reminiscent of Eàst Germany, the Soviet Union...

BREAKING: DOGE Strong-Armed USIP Security Contractors to Switch Sides https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/breaking-doge-strong-armed-usip-security-contractors-to-switch-sides

*** ** *** ** ***

I work in the security industry and this is pure unadulterated cowardice by Inter-Con. The correct response is "Go f*ck yourselves, you have no governmental authority" then calling local police with whom you've already built a good professional relationship and tossing the d-bags out.

*** ** *** ** ***

I’m not sure you saw the reporting, but DC AG Martin basically swatted them- he called MPD and reported trespassers (the usip staff).

There really is no recourse outside of the courts. This privately owned building was taken over by criminals with the blessing of MPD and the DC AG.

Another good thread 🧵 👇
The hearing for US Institute of Peace vs Kenneth Jackson et al with Judge Beryl Howell starting now. I'm listening via phone.

Wow. Judge Howell is worried that if she orders DOGE to leave the USIP building it could turn into an “armed standoff” over unwillingness to vacate, and points out law enforcement has shown willingness to help DOGE. Asks if we’ll need foreign mediators to come in.

***

Judge Howell asks the government's lawyer: This conduct of threatening criminal investigation, using armed law enforcement from 3 diff agencies, to carry out EO. Targeting, terrorizing staff. When there are so many other lawful ways to accomplish goals. WHY those ways? Just bc DOGE is in a rush?

***

Inter-con, USIP security contractor, had contract terminated by USIP but still had one physical key to building. DOGE went to contractor VP's house and said "you either let us in or we're gonna cancel all your other government business." Inter-con then turned on USIP, and used key to let DOGE in.
