The National Police are searching for the organizers of drunken parties where girls were insulted and humiliated. On January 31, journalist Yaroslava Kravchenko and several activists reported that young men had been organizing parties where girls were drugged with alcohol and drugs, raped, and then filmed and distributed on telegram channels. The police have identified the suspects and their locations and have opened a criminal investigation.
On the day of searches, law enforcement officers visited a number of officials, raising suspicions of potential dismissals. Those officials include Vadym Stolar, Ministry of Defense officials, Arsen Avakov, Ihor Kolomoisky, and State Customs Service officials. It is believed that Stolar's case is related to the financing of terrorism, Ministry of Defense officials are suspected of fraud in public procurement, Avakov's case is related to the plane crash in Brovary and the purchase of French Airbus helicopters, Kolomoisky's case is related to fraud around Ukrtatnafta and Ukrnafta, and the head of the Servant of the People faction has announced the dismissal of the entire management of the Customs Service and the appointment of new officials in the spring.
Residents of the temporarily occupied city of Melitopol reported a large fire near the enemy base this morning. According to the mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov, thick smoke was seen in the lower part of the city behind the central market in the area of the occupied Refma plant, where the occupiers have set up their military base. He added that no explosions were heard, suggesting that the fire may have been caused by a cigarette butt left burning.
Those careless smokers again.

In other words, Mrs. Roberts is helping to staff high profile corporate law firms with high profile lawyers who will be arguing in various federal courts - including the Supreme Court and in front of Chief Justice John Roberts - that the very rich corporations that they represent are *not* violating anti-trust laws and should be allowed to continue monopolization and restraint of trade.
And Chief Justice John Roberts would be more than happy to rule in favor of more unbridled corporate power and monopoly as we’ve seen repeatedly. The complete collapse and absence of ethics and basic rules and the elevation of glaring conflicts like this destroy court legitimacy.
This is what you get when Republicans get into higher office: neo-feudalism.

"By using digital surveillance to enforce rules, we focus our attention on an apparent order that allows us to ignore the real problems in the industry ... But under the actual order, the problem in trucking is that drivers are incentivized to work themselves ... to death."
