in this case I assume the actual email is likely genuine. but it actually means nothing. People amend returns all the time. the premise of the story is that he found out he needed to amend a return and simply didn’t.
2/ But there’s no reason to think this at all. It’s just a selectively leaked single email from someone the reporter knows is simply trying to damage Biden. If a piece of info speaks for itself or is clearly genuine it doesn’t really matter who the source is.
3/ But in this case neither is true. clearly Giuliani has all the emails. He says as much and can produce them at will. So a reporter is certainly going to say you need to show me all the adjacent emails so I know what it means.
4/ But Winters didn’t do that. he went with the implied meaning even though the source was clearly withholding other relevant info. That’s sloppy and not good journalism.

I’m seeing various reports that Giuliani says he’s getting the same Regeneron antibodies cocktail that Trump got. But that doesn’t seem to be precisely what he said in the radio interview. Said it was the exact same as what the President got but from what I can tell ...
2/ didn’t detail exactly which mix of therapies. He did however say President Trumps doctor was involved in his treatment. This is worth getting to the bottom of because it seems possible here that President Trump is making sure his high risk friends get a treatment ...
3/ most of the public doesn’t have access to. Please drop into this thread any links that have granular specifics on just what we know about this.

@jbouie @lionel_trolling this is really the crux. a basic disconnect over who is in charge of defining the mission of policing, who decides what the job is and whether police and their unions are meaningfully subordinate to political authority. It's sort of clarifying if we imagined the military ...
@jbouie @lionel_trolling 2/ in a comparable way, with a powerful union that was a big player in civilian politics, various sorts of slowdowns in response to efforts to enforce accountability, open resistance to civilian decisions about what nat sec policy shld be.
@jbouie @lionel_trolling 3/ People can point to various ways in which the US military does operate like this. The professional military builds deep relationships on capitol hill. Major weapons programs are spread out over many or all states to anchor political support. All true. But ...

Curious how many people caught this reference about people in Georgia who claim "we were here also" and will "take over your farm" under the Democrats.
2/ Confiscations of white farms in southern Africa is a huge topic on the white supremacist right in the US. He's dog whistling that, saying that slave reparations will mean black folks will be given your farm.

Oh dear: Rudy's costar at that voter fraud clown show "hearing" in Michigan just got off probation for harassment campaign/restraining order violation that involved her sending multiple sex tapes to her boyfriends ex-wife. deadlinedetroit.com/articles/26813…
it was really either this or she was part of the new borat film
2/ The true chef's kiss - given the role of hacking/computer crimes in the fraud claims - is that part of what she was charged for was trying to cover her digital tracks and claim the vids weren't from her. She was working on a computer security degree from ITT tech at the time.

They now have an app to tell you where you are in line for a vaccine. I was quite surprised to see that I'm very close to the last in line. To be clear, not complaining. That's fine. But I was surprised. I'm healthy. But I'm 51 and a guy. Last seems odd.
2/ But when I looked it turns out that kids and young adults are ahead of me in line. So what I think I wasn't figuring in is that it's not just about your relative risk but how strong a spread vector you are. That must be what pushes young adults further up in line.
3/ And again, not remotely complaining. I work from home. I'm in no rush. Just interesting.

Holy Shit. Florida GOPer caught on tape telling fellow FL GOPers to make false voter registrations in Georgia so they could vote to save Loeffler and Perdue. He in fact DID register in Georgia and is now under investigation. wsbtv.com/news/politics/…
2/ A pretty kickass reporter, Nicole Carr, recorded the video before the guy took it down. When she confronted him he insisted it was all a joke and of course he didn’t register in Georgia. But she checked and he had.
