This valuable @newyorker.com profile of Laura Loomer is a good example of why a certain kind of access journalism can be useful. Also? I hate rhetoric that dismisses fascist figures as "crazy." Mental illness is serious. But Loomer definitely seems genuinely unwell. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

It’s important to achieve bipartisanship with Republicans so they can arrest Barack Obama for something they read on the Epoch Times’ Facebook page written by a Chinese cult member in 2019.

The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida called a division-wide meeting this afternoon, following the resignations of two prosecutors who were asked to take part in a vast "conspiracy" investigation into former intel and law enforcement officials.
