From my post this morning:
To the brave dozen who joined me in escorting Billy Bartnicki out of the area even after he flashed a pistol at us while shouting "Make America white again!", thank you. Only takes being brave once to never be afraid again. Love to each and every one of you.

Look, I don't know the French term for mummies but I'm gonna just assume that it would literally translate to "sand perverts" in English so I don't think Spencer was entirely wrong

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"

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

A heartwarming tale of how even if you aren't subscribed to Google Nest their cameras still upload and save "about three hours" of video which can be recovered in the form of "residual data" from "backend servers," surprising even the FBI who claims to have previously believed it was impossible
How Google played a key role in recovering the video from Nancy Guthrie’s cameras | CNN Business
A major breakthrough in the Nancy Guthrie case largely came down to Google’s technical expertise, a person familiar with the investigation told CNN.

Ring is a wildly dangerous company. Always has been. But it has sort of flown under the radar the last couple years as it tried to soften its image. Make no mistake that this is an extremely dangerous surveillance dragnet:
