Only real heads will get this, but: The documents helpfully released today by John Solomon appear to indicate that the FBI never continued its counterintelligence investigation against Trump once Mueller was appointed www.whitehouse.gov/releases/202...

The U.S. Attorney believes that a "public rebuke" and an internal review are sufficient for egregious prosecutorial misconduct that put my family through hell. My seven-year-old is still having nightmares and panic attacks related to this case. Justice requires transparency and accountability.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

You cannot make mass surveillance "safe" or "good" by adding more guardrails. The only way to make Flock safe is to get rid of Flock. www.gpb.org/news/2026/08...

Analysis: More 'guardrails' needed to prevent police misuse of Flock cameras

Inappropriate use of Flock cameras by law enforcement officials have raised questions about how much surveillance is too much.

TN-7 — it was pointed out to us Darden Copeland, a Dem in the race, is a lobbyist whose company Calvert St. has worked on behalf of data center projects and currently includes it on his website We asked his position on data centers: “The world needs data centers in moderation”👇🏽

Funny how police have time and resources for this dumbass shit, but absolutely no time to solve actual crimes or help the people who call them. 😌

This is @jasonkoebler.bsky.social showing you how the Flock cameras were accessed and used to track this man over state lines. Read now: www.404media.co/cops-used-fl...

NEW: Police in Wisconsin used Flock to determine that a man “travels to Michigan frequently,” where marijuana is legal, then back to Wisconsin, where it is illegal. They then used his travel across state lines as tracked by Flock as part of the probable cause justification to search his car.

Cops Used Flock to Track a Man Across State Lines to Create Pretext to Search His Car for Weed

"The vehicle travels to Michigan frequently which is a known source state for marijuana as it is legal there," a probable cause justification reads.

as noted yesterday, Trump has now come around to treating an Iranian toll system covering the Strait of Hormuz as a given. Hard to overstate the level of strategic failure. US started the war purely as a war of choice and ends up dramatically empowering Iran and given the Iranian govt big wins.

Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · 5h ago

Reuters: Iran wants fees of 5%-7% of the price of cargo from ships using the strait; Oman wants 3%. "Making fees voluntary, at least nominally, could be a way out of the impasse, although an implied threat of Iranian attacks could mean shippers would be ​unlikely to risk transit without paying."

Chuck Edwards, the Republican Congressman from NC-11 with a weird/creepy staffer sexual harassment ethics case open, abruptly ended his reelection campaign at 3:32 am this morning. The local GOP committee will select his replacement; the seat (where I grew up in WNC) is currently rated a tossup

This is a 1,600 bed facility, so it will instantly become one of ICE's largest facilities. It will also be one of (if not the actual) largest ICE jail/prison in the midwest.

🚨ICE has awarded CoreCivic $536.2 million to operate the Prairie Correction Facility in Appleton, Minnesota as an immigration jail. The period of performance begins August 11.

it’s kind of crazy that YouTube, which might as well be the biggest television station in the world, is just nonstop scammy ads—and it’s gotten worse since the advent of generative AI

i should add- breaking the collarbone of a baby who is the granddaughter of a REPUBLICAN US SENATOR is not a bridge too far for republicans. max miller is the villain in this story but bernie moreno looks like a feckless loser, allowing his party to carry on this way. what a pathetic bunch.

breaking a baby’s collarbone isn’t a bridge too far!!!!! i know i shouldn’t be surprised but FUCK that’s too dark for my soul to handle

this is so fucking disgusting.
