July 27, 2016, Trump: "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing."
Indictment: That evening, Russian operatives targeted Clinton campaign emails "for the first time."
Trump called on Russia to hack the Clinton campaign, and they did.
The "collusion" has been right out in the open the whole time.
Important clarification as @awprokop notes: The Russians had been targeting the Clinton campaign since at least April. But after Trump's plea it looks they stepped up their spearfishing efforts and targeted certain accounts for the first time.
I don't know how you can be Mitch McConnell or Paul Ryan and be okay with this.

lol. "A supporter of former President Donald Trump who said authorities should root out voter fraud is among five people who were charged Thursday with voter fraud." startribune.com/trump-backer-4…
Anyway these all seem like a bit of a stretch. The "fraud" alleged is filling out a voter registration with a PO box address rather than a residence, and these are mostly people who live out of RVs. Criminalizing people for trying to vote is bad.
"One of the people charged was homeless but should have listed any kind of address, like the location of a park bench, rather than a post office box number, Toney said." Come on.

This is incredible. Mayor: "If you then allow ice fishing with shanties, then that leads to another problem: prostitution." Gotta find out where this guy goes ice fishing.
"six to eight people." The sheer depravity of it all.
Footloose reboot, but the teen (Timothée Chalamet) moves from northern Minnesota to small-town Ohio where he attempts to overturn the ban on ice fishing instituted by the censorious mayor (Benedict Cumberbatch)

Between this and Gingrich’s comments today, it’s clear that “using the judicial system as a cudgel against my perceived enemies” is increasingly one of the pillars of modern movement conservatism
Meanwhile the supposed defenders of democracy are running heroic profiles of the most rabid proponents of these views
It’s okay though because the press has its eye on the big picture: the people trying to stop fascism are, actually, just as bad as the fascists themselves Image

It's been a shit week so The Why Axis' paid subscribers get a special treat today: cat data! thewhyaxis.substack.com/p/the-special-…
Inspired by Jorts, the lovable orange doofus who caused an HR crisis, I've got some cat personality data showing that people rate orange cats as friendlier and more outgoing than cats of any other color! thewhyaxis.substack.com/p/the-special-… Image
There's a more detailed orange cat personality chart in there but I'm not giving that one away -- suffice it to say it fits Jorts to a tee, with one big exception. thewhyaxis.substack.com/p/the-special-…

As the guy who originally made this chart I periodically get asked to update these numbers, which only go through 2014. So it brings me no pleasure to report the following: Cops are still taking more stuff from people than burglars do thewhyaxis.substack.com/p/cops-still-t…
One thing that needs clarifying: the figures in this chart are *federal* only. State cops take a lot of stuff too, although probably not as much as federal. We don't really know, because states are all over the place in how they report this stuff. thewhyaxis.substack.com/p/cops-still-t…
This is all in response to the story of the $100,000 cash seizure in Dallas, which local press framed as a feel-good story about a dog, but which involved cops taking money from a woman currently not accused of any criminal wrongdoing.

The more I think about this the more egregious it gets. The paper of record letting its flagship podcast be sponsored with a message of blatant climate misinformation during a major climate summit. I would love to know what @mikiebarb makes of this
My guess is he has no idea who's running ads on any given day, because that's how it usually works with this stuff. The industry tells itself that this strict wall of separation is sufficient, but to a reader it's all part of the same package.
My general assumption is that a place like the Times or the Post has stricter ad standards than like, Infowars or whatever. And that they won't try to sell me brain pills or scams or flat-out lies.
