Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

Breaking: In DOJ Paperwork Snafu, James Comey May Never Have Been Properly Indicted
Just out of court, where judge established that second operative two-count indictment of Comey was never presented to or voted on by the grand jury.
Judge wanted immediate additional briefing on that issue.

Mike Johnson said he voted for the Jeffrey Epstein disclosure bill based on his hope that the Senate would make changes he’s been demanding. John Thune shot that down, saying he decided the legislation was “sufficient.”
Mere hours later, the Senate approved the legislation by unanimous consent.

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.
A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.
We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

It’s unclear what exactly he's concerned about (aside from more potentially incriminating references to President Trump, of course).
