The long awaited OIG report into the FBI New York Office is out, and it’s a nothingburger.

In capsule form, so many FBI agents talked to reporters that they couldn’t figure out who leaked anything specific, and they let Giuliani blatantly lie to them. oig.justice.gov/sites/default/…

Just to remind people how serious this once was, an old thread:
It’s notable, I think, that the OIG report omits the phrase “there’s a kind of revolution going on inside the FBI” from Giuliani’s original quote.

The @SDSheriff’s office last night began promoting a scary and strange video they produced of one of their deputies collapsing in a parking lot from what they suspected to be a fentanyl exposure. In response to skepticism, they started saying things we know not to be true. ImageImageImageImage
The American Medical Association has tried to dispel the myth that brief dermal exposure to fentanyl can cause a lethal overdose.

From 2019: “Fentanyl is so poorly absorbed through the skin that it required years of research to develop a fentanyl patch.” ama-assn.org/system/files/2… Image
The video—which features bodycam footage interspersed with interviews of the deputy and his partner and commentary from the sheriff—has led to some seriously credulous reporting by the usual suspects. For example: foxnews.com/us/san-diego-c…

Here’s the new CDC eviction order, hot off the press. cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…
“Trends have dramatically worsened since June 2021 and transmission is rapidly accelerating in the United States,” CDC Director Walensky writes.
The rubber hits the road in this CDC order in the “covered person” definition, which obliges people under threat of eviction to provide a six-point declaration to their landlord under penalty of perjury—including that they live in a substantial or high transmission area.

Not every day you see a running world record fall by almost a full second.
The bronze medal guy from Brazil p much ran the old world record and wasn’t even in the picture at the finish.
Rye Benjamin was really broken up in the post race interviews because he didn’t get the gold, but he did amazing! The Brazilian bronze medalist did amazing! And Rye beat him by more than half a second!

The AP decided to take an extremely pro-factory farm angle on this, but it’s notable that veal and egg producers—not widely known for tender care of their animals—were able to comply with California’s 2018 law while pork producers are at 4% compliance. apnews.com/article/lifest…
The draconian requirement at issue here is giving “breeding pigs enough room to turn around and to extend their limbs.”
