The aging, latent police reporter in me can't help put pause to remark on the unforced error of the SAC in Salt Lake's FBI field office making the unforced error of announcing they have recovered a “footwear impression.” A shout-out to toss or destroy those shoes, ASAP.

That's a detail you keep.

Exactly.

The secret to Baltimore's extraordinary year This April, Baltimore saw five homicides.

1. We interrupt this programming for some LEGITIMATELY GOOD NEWS

Violent crime in Baltimore has PLUMMETED to historic lows

How did the city do it?

Baltimore adopted a comprehensive set of "woke" policies, treating violence as a public health issue

So the current story from the president is that Those Damn Dirty Democrats created the Epstein Files, put a bunch of incriminating stuff about him in there and then … never released it?

Yep, I work in commercial property insurance and it’s literally the biggest determinant of whether you can get Flood coverage. Anything in the A or V zones (especially AE) are considered high risk.

Here’s Camp Mystic.
I pulled the FEMA maps myself (the blue one is from WaPo).

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

Yesterday they were all pointing a finger at the NWS. This morning, I published the documented proof that NWS did their job and sent warnings intended for phones. And someone (cough, cough) has been calling media to make them aware.

Now they’re not pointing that finger at meteorologists anymore.

My 4-year-old overheard me telling my sibling, “America’s in big trouble.” Later he said, “America needs to not break stuff and use its inside voice.” Chaos solved with preschool logic. Proud Dad here.

Reason number one million and one why I love being a writer. I just got to read up on the history of the padlock, so I knew when it was invented. It's a throwaway line in this novel, but I didn't want to make an embarrassing mistake.

Thank you! I have some updates to make today (several from May/June are missing their source links & color-coded categorization 😂) but otherwise that tab is pretty current.

The Project 2025 tab is my other big undertaking and I’m about halfway done with my sources for that. 😵‍💫

This was today… Sotally tober… NYT clearly way off base…

Hi, just to make sure we’re on the same page:

Tariffs are generally used to protect domestic industry that already exists from foreign undercutting, not preemptively hoping that domestic industry will grow…

Apparently states’ rights stop the moment women board a plane with autonomy in their carry-on.

ICE Arrests Mississippi Father at His Citizenship Hearing ICE arrested Kasper Eriksen, a Mississippi father, at his citizenship hearing, imprisoning him and threatening him with deportation.

When he showed up to an immigration meeting in Memphis, Kasper Eriksen thought he was on the verge of becoming a citizen.

Then ICE arrested the Mississippi father of four, not even giving him a chance to say goodbye to his wife, whisking him away to a prison.

Lmao so not 20 mins ago my mom sent me a link to something about poisonous hemlock (often confused w/ queen anne’s lace) and its recent spread in the U.S….so when I first saw the picture with “have a wonderful day” I thought it was like a threat 🤣

Happy tariff capitulation day to all who celebrate.
