Filming law enforcement as they perform their duties in public isn’t illegal, it’s a constitutional right.

Arkansas went for Trump 62.4%. So our state officials happily turned voter rolls over to DOGE to scour for non-citizens voting. They found three, all long-time permanent residents who thought they were within their rights. 1 per 400,000 ballots cast. Estimated immigrant population here > 160,000.

This story is a nightmare. Texas cops fired dozens of tear gas grenades into an innocent woman's home. They smashed windows and drove through her front door. Her daughter's dog went deaf & blind. Then the city left her with the bill. Six years later, her saga is finally coming to an end. A thread.

a really incredible story about a childhood memory of a neighbor's generosity that was true and backed up by decades old paperwork. But it didn't matter. This is the story of how 90 acres of land donated for a park was sold for $10 million to become a data center
Osborne wasn’t optimistic at first. “He said, ‘Oh Pam, I don’t think you have a case,’” Griffin recalled. But Osborne went through almost 30 years of deeds, transfers, and paperwork anyway. In 2003, the Texas Parks and Recreation Foundation granted the land to another non-profit called the Williamson County Park Foundation. A month later, that non-profit gave the land to the City of Taylor. Five years later, in 2008, the city of Taylor sold the land to the Taylor Economic Development Corporation (TEDC) for $15,000. In 2025, TEDC sold the land to Blueprint, the data center developers, for $10 million.

Let’s put the $1.8 billion slush fund in perspective. DOJ spent ~$35M on Jack Smith’s Trump cases. That’s about 2% of $1.8B. The rioters caused $2.7B in damage to the Capitol. They were collectively ordered to pay about $3.2M restitution but only about $437,000 was paid before pardons wiped the rest
