“According to the UNHCR, a total of 260,662 people have crossed the Mediterranean Sea from Northern Africa to Europe since the beginning of 2023.”

260,662? That’s a month for the U.S. on Biden’s watch. I’d thought the EU’s problem was worse than ours https://t.co/mb6DmEj9cZ

But why would “neither party .. spend” in a CA Senate runoff between a Dem (Schiff, say) and Republican Steve Garvey? Every seat counts. Is it because CA is too expensive? Garvey has no chance? If he makes the runoff he obviously has *some* appeal … https://t.co/qwSge4HF15

At the time, of course, SBF *was* an investor in @Semafor (which they disclosed). Could that be where they got the story about him rolling over his public stock into stock in Musk’s private Twitter? Musk insisted it never happened. SBF said he wasn’t sure. https://t.co/yswfcL7F8Z… https://t.co/CvYX5cjqGK

“Welcome to Semafor Media, where we admit when we’re wrong”– Dec 31 email from @semafor. But as far as I can see Semafor has *never* admitted it’s huge, introductory error in reporting that SBF was Musk’s “now-partner in owning Twitter.” It’s still up! https://t.co/T2fzKXVLH0

I think it was Hendrik Hertzberg who asked why do white people think they lose out on jobs to less competent minorities while blacks think they have to be twice as good as whites to get any respect–and both are right?

The answer is affirmative action. In both cases. https://t.co/R3ch3i3IFl

Obviously, we still DON’T know what was going on with Epstein–eg how he made his money, what the purpose of the whole operation was, who from America’s elite participated in it and why … Maybe that will change with the expected release of the 150 names, but i suspect not.

The main reason to charge SBF on campaign finance is similarly to the reason for making public the Epstein evidence: He had a whole seemingly unprecedented operation going, which involved violating the law, and the public should know full picture of what the hell was going on … https://t.co/Ipx2oWsq1O
