A very detailed explanation of how FBI bamboozled a magistrate into authorizing a raid on Fulton County’s election offices by omitting critical information that would have totally undermined any probable cause claim. Pretty clear-cut case of calculated deception of the courts.
Fulton Co elections expert: “In all 5 areas identified by ... the [search warrant] affidavit, there are a multitude of false or misleading statements or omissions. ... Once ... corrected, the affidavit loses any basis in reality.”

WTF is going on with Bluesky? I've easily seen half a dozen posts trashing Kamala Harris from alleged progressives. Are the bots from Twitter never to be known as X invading us?

The thing about a rag like this is that the people writing for it know they aren’t making a good argument and they don’t care because it’s what the people with money are willing to pay for and literally the only thing that matters to them is career advancement.
Yeah, so about your claim that The Argument wouldn't be running anti-trans pieces @jerusalem.bsky.social... I knew it.

Jesse Jackson was an early and ardent supporter of gay rights. In fact, on July 17, 1984 at the DNC in San Fransisco, the first speech EVER at a national political convention calling for gay rights was delivered by none other than Rev. Jackson himself.

The headline doesn't even begin to describe how wildly unethical the background of this story is, which is that the survivor only shared the story with one person- her psychiatrist- who is Kamel Doud's wife
His novel was praised for giving a voice to the victims of Algeria’s brutal civil war. But one woman has accused Kamel Daoud of having stolen her story – and the ensuing legal battle has become about much more than literary ethics.
