Several election experts, including some who watched the audit of Maricopa County’s election in person in 2021, said any investigation based on the data would be fatally flawed.
Between the threat of lone-wolf extremism and potential retaliation by Iran, the U.S. remains on high alert. But the ongoing erosion of counterterrorism resources and expertise appear to be softening the nation’s counterterrorism readiness.
Most California voters support the state’s newly proposed billionaire tax, according to new polling.
Meanwhile, rich Californians are plotting a $500M slush fund to influence the state's politics.
So they can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections?
See the problem...
ProPublica has exclusively obtained the FBI property receipt detailing what an agent collected from the Arizona Senate under the federal grand jury subpoena we wrote about yesterday. @propublica.org 🧵
We should all be outraged by the recent attack on the synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan.
This is part of a growing tide of antisemitism in our country.
As Americans, we must stand together and fight antisemitism, Islamophobia and all forms of racism and bigotry.

What stage of the dystopia is this?
What's awesome about this is that Amazon under Bezos got caught doing differential pricing in the late 90s and vowed to never, ever, ever do it again. They still change prices rapidly, of course, and now Bezos is recapitulating this at WaPo.

EXCLUSIVE: Military leaders warned Hegseth not to gut the offices that limit risk to civilians. He ignored them.
The decision faces renewed attention as the Pentagon investigates a strike on an Iranian girls’ school that killed hundreds of children.
I stopped gambling (mostly) last year and the way the books hound you with notifications/emails to Get Back In The Game should 100% be illegal
like if Coors could text drinkers "15 days since your last beer ... sounds like you need an ice cold Coors Light" and also their phone could give them a beer
Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.
Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.
But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.
This week, we discuss traveling for reporting and watching way too much DOGE testimony.
Then I wrote about the late attack on the bill from Brian Schatz, the heir apparent to Chuck Schumer in Senate Dem leadership. Schatz never filed an amendment to fix his complaint & he didn't flip a single vote; he just loudly signaled his support for private equity.

NEW: Oregon voters overwhelmingly approved limiting campaign contributions in 2020.
Four years later, the Legislature finally adopted limits, but an advocate for tighter controls says recent changes render Oregon’s contribution limits “illusory.”

Hello?
Trump thinks he understands the centrality of industrial production to national security: He’s bought stakes in critical minerals and semiconductor facilities, and used national security considerations to impose or threaten to impose tariffs on aluminum, steel, computer chips, pharmaceuticals, copper, lumber, and in his first term, washing machines. But there’s been no crusade by Trump to invoke national security to promote the production and installation of domestic renewable energy, the most critical vulnerability we now face. In fact, it’s been just the opposite. Trump forgot to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve despite loudly promising to do so. Then he started a war on Iran without any clear idea why, and according to Sen. Chris Murphy’s (D-CT) account of a classified Senate briefing, without any plan for how to respond if Iran carried out the most obvious retaliation in the history of warfare, namely blocking the Strait of Hormuz, which carries one-fifth of global oil production.
Yes our president is this absurd.

The Iran war is showing that renewable energy is a national security imperative, and that fighting renewables tooth and nail as the White House has been doing since day one deeply undermines national security, as @ryanlcooper.com writes.

"The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better."
The Defense Secretary calling for a billionaire ally of the government to take over a media outlet & make it more pro-government. This is what authoritarianism looks like. But in other countries they try & hide it.
404 Media’s reporting exposed how Flock was used by police to give info to ICE and to look for a woman who they say administered a self-abortion. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social testified this month to the California State Assembly about it.

“No one gives a sh*t about housing.”
“Affordability is a Democrat scam.”
“If [gas prices] rise, they rise.”
It couldn't be clearer: Trump never cared about lowering the cost of living.
Google has privately proposed building a new data center in Nebraska that could require three times the amount of electricity needed to power all of Lincoln during the hottest months of the year, according to documents obtained by the Flatwater Free Press.

The data drops as Sen. Bernie Sanders calls for a moratorium on datacenter construction. 'We need to take a deep breath. We need to make sure that AI and robotics work for all of us, not just a handful of billionaires.'
Republicans are trying to pass the so-called “SAVE America Act,” a bill that could pose enormous hurdles for millions of married women who have changed their last names.
Happy women’s history month we guess 🙃

When Trump says "we make a lot of money," he's talking about his Big Oil donors.
They spent spent nearly $100M to get Trump elected in 2024, and the investment is paying off quite well for them.
Oligarchy in action.
