Not that I believe really anything Nuzzi writes, given her record, but the far bigger scandal here is her claim that RFK Jr. was still actively using psychedelics last year, then became HHS secretary in an admin that is killing people for smuggling recreational drugs.

A former career DOJ guy told me a few weeks ago that prior to Trump, the FBI was the varsity team, DHI and ICE were junior varsity, and Border Patrol were like a drunken office softball team. And under Trump, the drunk softball guys are now in charge.
Listen to this Border Patrol agent cry about how he's going to be DOXXED after being arrested for drunkenly barging into a woman's restroom with a loaded gun, demanding a date from the woman inside, and then punching the arresting officers.

I’d say that the imposition of this administrative burden is a solution in search of a problem (fraud and abuse, not a systemic issue), but it’s really a solution to a different problem: Poor people being able to exist with basic dignity.
After using hungry Americans as pawns, this will only make it more difficult for families in need to put food on the table.

Luigi has some high powered attorneys defending him. I'm not surprised these charges were dismissed.
“Two state terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione, the defendant in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare’s chief executive last year, were dismissed…including one that had accused him of first-degree murder.”

A reporter just asked the U.S. president a perfectly legitimate question about his attorney general's vow to prosecute people for constitutionally protected speech.
He responded by threatening to prosecute the reporter.
The threat itself is an abuse of power. It ought to be an impeachable offense.

JON KARL: What do you make of Pam Bondi saying she's gonna go after hate speech? A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech
TRUMP: We'll probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. You have a lot of hate in your hate. Maybe they'll have to go after you.
