Not sure what Ghostery is, but I am using Chrome as a browser, and I do have DuckDuckGo installed as a search engine (and separately, I think, as a browser). DDG has caused a lot of problems like this, so I wouldn't be surprised. I am THIS close to just abandoning it entirely, from my phone, to the desktop and laptops.

I haven’t seen anything on the status of the laptop.

A Justice Department spokeswoman told CNN on Monday that Williams had surrendered to authorities.

Williams is not accused of theft. She is only charged with violent entry or disorderly conduct, and entering the restricted space of the Capitol, the same charges faced by many who took part in the siege that day.

I'd be willing to put money on the MAGA Ragers being unpleasant and irritating (at best) to those around them and not just idiotic cultists in their free time.

It's privately held so can't short. But you may be able to buy it out of bankruptcy in a few years.

Giuliani, one of Trump’s staunchest allies, spent months defending the president’s baseless allegations of widespread voter fraud, and frequently challenged the use of provisional ballots.

During a now-notorious press conference in November, Giuliani claimed without evidence that voters were given provisional ballots when they showed up to vote after Democrats voted on their behalf.

However, CNN’s investigation found that Giuliani used a provisional ballot to vote in Manhattan when his name did not appear on voter rolls when he went to vote. Records obtained by the news outlet show that his registration was moved to his home in Long Island in August, and his registration in New York City was purged in September.

Since his name didn’t show on the voter rolls, he cast an affidavit ballot swearing he was registered to vote in the district where he voted, according to a copy of the affidavit obtained by CNN.

Rhetorical question I guess, but how is it that a MAGA PATRIOT can maintain their vision of themselves as a PATRIOT while actively trying to engage in espionage to benefit Russia? Does this somehow fit into the Q worldview? Or is it that they've taken Trump's love of Putin so to heart that acts in service of Putin are the same as acts in service of Trump and therefore, PATRIOT?

It hurts my head.

Georgia’s Secretary of State just certified wins for Senators-elect Warnock and Ossoff. They get sworn in tomorrow.

This is the most offensive thing I've ever heard.

No one should ever question the loyalty or professionalism of the Texas National Guard.
@TexasGuard

I authorized more than 1,000 to go to DC.

I'll never do it again if they are disrespected like this.

President-elect Joe Biden’s team denied Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller’s request for transition space at the Pentagon after he leaves office on Wednesday, a courtesy normally extended at the Defense Department.

The Biden transition told Miller’s team that it had denied his request for transition office space for himself and a handful of aides, in a reversal from past practice, according to a senior Defense Department official.


Outgoing secretaries typically get office space at the Pentagon for several weeks to handle any final tasks that remain undone by Inauguration Day.

Biden’s team didn’t give a reason for the denial, though the official said Miller’s team believed it was payback over the contention by Biden and his staff that the Trump administration sought to delay and obstruct the transition at the Defense Department. Early in January, incoming White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the transition team was encountering “intransigence” in the department and Office of Management and Budget, as well as “other places that we’ve had ongoing concern.”

But that is a bit of a long title.
