My theory:
The poison dart frog fell out of a window in Ecuador and somehow landed in Navalny’s cell in Western Siberia.

Alexei Navalny died after being poisoned with dart frog toxin, UK and allies say
The frog's poison is 200 times stronger than morphine, with Germany's foreign minister saying 'victims suffocate in agony'.

Vaguely recall how Biden admin emails to Twitter were the biggest attack on free speech ever. There was a whole twitter files thing about that.
Curious where are Elon, Taibbi, Bari and crew on this?

They really are giant babies.
Someone forget to move Noem’s blankie, so the pilot gets fired but then reinstated when they realized no one could fly the plane.
A guy isn’t hired as new ICE director because he would not agree to issuing political appointees badges and guns.

Interesting that the #Olympics bans someone for commemorating fallen athletes as “political,” and yet sells t-shirts in its shop commemorating the #NaziOlympics.

I wish they would say,That’s great, congrats to Pres Trump for continuing to make the rich richer. Great accomplishment. Now, how many of Epstein’s co-conspirators and pedophiles have you indicted or investigated? Over and over again. Although I can’t say “until she answers,” because she never will.

In a world where Trump is actually innocent of everything Epstein-related his people would be investigating/arresting/charging powerful people implicated and making themselves the heroes of the story.

So they’ve only just did this?? Like this wasn’t the first thing they did? If I were Guthrie, I would never let it rest that Kash Patel’s FBI did jack shit to help my family.
FBI agents and local investigators fanned out on Wednesday through the foothills near Nancy Guthrie’s home north of Tucson, Arizona, scouring the landscape for evidence related to her disappearance.
Here's where things stand.

Definitely a question for Brett Kavanaugh…
Rep. Brian Steil: "I flew home to my home state of Wisconsin, went to buy a 6 pack a beer, the clerk asked for my ID, confirmed it, and then I was allowed to buy the beer. I just think it's nuts that we protect our beer more than our ballots."

I’m sure the lawmakers who were outraged that their toll (phone) records were obtained in the course of a predicated federal investigation through a subpoena are going to back Rep. Jayapal in being outraged at just lawless surveillance of her (and likely others’) search history, right?
"It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DOJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files. (US Attorney General) Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched." - Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).

Someone MAGA, please offer a reasonably plausible explanation for this…
CNN confirms what MSNBC reported live a few hours ago: DOJ is surveilling Dem lawmakers when they go to the DOJ to search unredacted Epstein files.
CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

And if the cops showed up at Markwayne Mullin’s house wanting to perform a search without a warrant, I’m sure he’d let them because he has nothing to hide, right?
Markwayne Mullin defends "show me your papers": "If you're here legally, there's nothing to hide. Most people already are walking around with a government-issued ID, meaning your Real ID or your driver's license. If you go board a train here, you gotta show your ID."
