Seriously tho, this is a well-reported piece that make it hard not to conclude that Patel is using government resources to enjoy the trappings of a mid-level celebrity, like hosting his buddies for a golf retreat in Scotland.

meanwhile, a couple months ago, DOJ pulled the one extra US marshal they stationed outside CDC after the terror attack
We’re investigating FBI Director Kash Patel for allegedly providing his girlfriend with a Nashville SWAT team as her security detail.
But that’s not all we’re looking into ⬇️

The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.

something i'll note is that if nuzzi ran catch-and-kill ops for rfk jr and lizza knew this prior to him being appointed as HHS, and instead of telling anyone, he decided to save it for his substack long after rfk jr had made communicable disease into federal policy, that's completely fucked

Just remembering how one of the most important and widely read and dropped-with-maximally-damaging-timing "Biden is old and senile" pieces was reported by Nuzzi. It makes you think!
well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.

"Look, the Fed can do a lot of things, but what it can't do is lower the price of imports. It can't make it so there are more workers for California farmers to help pick the crops." These are self-inflicted supply shocks, and the Fed can't magically undo them. (The White House can.)

![[indent] The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. [/indent]
Before getting into anything else: this is bullshit. It is an extremely evidence-based claim, backed by dozens of studies spread over decades. Vaccines do not, in fact, cause autism. Studies have also not "ruled out the possibility" that I will one day emerge, Venus-like, from a giant clam shell floating one hundred meters above the Gateway Arch in St. Louis to sing a glorious a capella rendition of "The Boys Are Back in Town."

Most Republicans in Congress remained silent (or praised) Trump's pardons of those who attacked the Capitol on 1/6; now most are silent in the wake of Trump's call for the killing of their Democratic colleagues.
And yet they claim to be concerned about "political violence."

Remarkable: Rep Chrissy Houlahan, one of the Dems that Trump called for executing, tells me her office literally filled out a Capitol Police threat report that listed "the president" as the person making the threat.
