Fascinating insights from @wsj.com re how Putin has manipulated Trump and Witkoff. U.S. billionaires who know nothing of Russia are easy marks for the wily former KGB officer. www.wsj.com/world/putin-...

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

This is the ICE thug who arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka on public property (the sidewalk) for “trespassing.”

Make him famous because “just following orders” isn’t an excuse for violating the U.S. Constitution.

Pritzker and AOC have both shown a consistent awareness that they know what time it is. Would love to see the rest of the party follow their lead.

It's a very thin line between what Elizabeth Holmes did and what Musk has spent a decade doing...
Again, still, always: in an even halfway functional country this guy would be in prison for fraud, he's on an earnings call telling people outright lies about what his company is going to do
Musk says Tesla will manufacture several thousand Optimus robots that will be "doing useful things by the end of the year," adding that it won't be long before "we're making 100 million of these things a year"

I mean, maybe I'm crazy, but if I were on the Federal Election Commission, I would maybe think that it's not a good idea to publicly campaign for a candidate?

Kalyn Kahler tweeted a link to this video breaking down the Charissa Thompson mess and I learned two key reasons why no one noticed at the time:

1. Most of the time she was making shit up, she was covering the 2008 Lions
2. When she had nothing, she just said the coach wanted to establish the run
