NEW: @GregAbbott_TX says the spread of New World screwworm into Texas poses an “imminent threat” of widespread damage to the state's livestock industry and economy.

Victor Marx, frontrunner for the GOP nod for CO Gov, makes astonishing claims about his accomplishments. He’s either had one of the most extraordinary lives in human history or he’s a liar and a fraud.

When I asked how voters should decide, he joked that his dog would bite me.

Inside was $10K worth of gear, her biz cards and an Airtag -- which soon began to ping from home of a NJ sergeant. He's now facing charges.

From 1966 to 2025 we dropped sterile flies over South America that ate screwworm and thus prevented them from spreading, but the le epic efficient cracked coders at DOGE thought this was a silly waste of the ~0 dollars it cost us.

This email from Cirino tells the whole story.

"I would like this harassment to stop immediately and I would like charges filed against the individual."

Cirino, who previously declined seeking The Rooster's arrest, declined comment about this email.

To take a very real family emergency that Steven Kwan is going through and share an AI generated quote is a new low even for CST. Disgusting.

[Michael @MichaelHook_CLE]

Screenshotted cause you don’t deserve clicks from me but genuinely, using an AI generated quote about a *very* serious issue going on in a player’s life and trying to pass it off as real for the sole purpose of social media clicks is such lowlife and loser behavior

Philip Alito introduced himself as "Phil" in Treasury meetings. No public résumé. Not on the department website. Bar listings with incorrect employer information. "There's no doubt he got that position because of who he is." Treasury won't say whether ethics forms were filed.
