Patel and Bongino told senior FBI officials that they should be "posting more about their successful investigations and other 'FBI wins' on social media," per complaint filed this morning in the District Court for the District of Columbia. Is this an FBI win?

In a suit filed earlier today by three fired FBI officials, Patel and Bongino are portrayed as being so obsessed with social media that it could “risk outweighing more deliberate analyses of investigations."

Today, Sen. Ted Cruz proposed the "Strengthening Artificial intelligence Normalization and Diffusion By Oversight and eXperimentation Act," or SANDBOX Act. The bill would create a mechanism for AI developers to seek to waive or modify federal regulatory requirements for a period of up to ten years.

Just going to leave this here in case anyone says we have to put aside our differences with Charlie Kirk
This isn’t by accident, either. Kirk routinely expresses his own racist views. He suggested Black pilots are unqualified. He blamed a Black fire chief in Austin, Texas, for flooding deaths that occurred a three-hour drive away from the city. He denounced the passage of the 1965 Civil Rights Act and tried to discredit the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as “awful” and “not a good person.”

Last month, Kirk devoted a chunk of his podcast to honoring the influential evangelical pastor John MacArthur, who passed away on July 14 at the age of 86. Kirk called him “one of the most influential Protestant minds since the Reformation,” and a “legend” who “never bowed to the gods of this age” and “never apologized for Scripture.” Soaring language — but it’s a euphemism. One of MacArthur’s most famous old-fashioned beliefs was that slavery was godly.

Family of Epstein abuse survivor urges Trump not to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell: 'A monster who deserves to rot in prison'
The family of Virginia Giuffre said any leniency extended to Maxwell would go down as "one of the highest travesties of justice" in history.

Virginia Giuffre's family's statement about Trump's latest comments is...wow:
"Giuffre's family called that admission by Trump "shocking," while questioning whether Trump was aware of Epstein's and Maxwell's actions.

“It was shocking to hear President Trump invoke our sister and say that he was aware that Virginia had been 'stolen' from Mar-a-Lago. It makes us ask if he was aware of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal actions, especially given his statement two years later that his good friend Jeffrey 'likes women on the younger side . . . no doubt about it.' We and the public are asking for answers; survivors deserve this,” the family added.

In their statement, the family also said that it was Maxwell who “targeted and preyed” on Giuffre while she was working at Mar-a-Lago."

I have no idea if this will work, or if Senate Republicans will once again be able to rewrite the rules to save their cult leader, but at the very least it puts Democrats on the right side of this issue and puts more pressure on the pedophile protection racket in the GOP. Nothing but upside.
