It was a worthless bill that did literally nothing. If passed, it wouldn't have saved a single person a single penny, and would have put Americans in even greater debt. This is nothing more that idiotic grandstanding.

[Matt Whitlock @MattWhitlock]

In case you missed it...

Republicans (led by @JonHusted) had a bill to lower electricity prices.

It passed the House 417-3 - supported by everyone from the Freedom Caucus to the Squad.

Democrats in the Senate blocked it.

Why?

Because they want max pain going into November.

During the Cold War, Kremlinologists learned to interpret the 'news' from TASS as much by what stories or details were omitted from publication as from those that were included.

In the same way we can interpret 'news' stories from AP by the details that are omitted. In this case they felt it was critical that the race of the victim WAS mentioned, but not the race of the suspect who has an arrest warrant issued.

Go ahead, interpret that for yourself. It's easy.

They can claim to undeniably find a Klansman in a tennis shoe ad, but somehow there's a whole lot of nuance to be found in one of their nominees having a giant Nazi death squad logo tattooed on his chest.

Flock camera pings the wrong Durango, and 23 year-old woman spends 13 days in jail for a crash she didn’t cause.

Lindsey Brooke Isaacs was 23, asleep in her Palm Coast apartment, when Florida Highway Patrol troopers pounded on the door. They told her her black Dodge Durango had killed three people on I-4 near DeBary on October 4, 2025. A motorcyclist and Flagler County official Jorge Salinas and his wife.

She said they had the wrong person. Her SUV was almost new. No crash damage. She asked them to show her the damage. They wouldn’t let her look. They towed the car anyway.

What they had was a Flock automated license plate reader hit.

A camera three miles west of the wreck logged her plate at 9:51 p.m. The crash was around 9:53. That timing should have cleared her, as she was already past the scene. Instead, it became the case.

Witnesses and a 911 caller described a maroon Durango and a partial plate starting 458. Struck vehicles had maroon paint. Isaacs’ plate was RJVN10. Her Durango was black. Investigators searched Flock for a black Durango anyway, locked onto the first one they found, and ran with it.

They alleged “marks consistent with a collision.” Photos of the car in the impound lot later showed no such damage. They never pulled the event data recorder that would have shown no collision. They omitted the maroon description and the timing from the story that put her in handcuffs.

April 17, 2026: arrest warrant. Eight felonies, including three counts of vehicular homicide. Held without bond. Thirteen days in Volusia County Jail, including solitary, she later told the Senate, in a cell with feces on the walls. Facing what she was told could be life.

April 29: $250,000 bond.
May 22: prosecutors drop every charge. Same day, they arrest Alisa Lee Montalvo of Deltona who owned a maroon Durango, plate beginning 458, damage that actually matches.

Isaacs is suing the two FHP sergeants who built the case. This week she testified in the U.S. Senate about Flock’s nationwide ALPR network.

[Sensurround @ShamashAran]

No, the cops who did this to her should spend 20 years in prison for not checking the data they got from a computer.

This is totally a Buttle/Tuttle issue that a human should have double checked before locking someone in a cage.

Thales Storytime. My father owned a McDonalds franchise back in the 90s, and build a playplace in it. It was fun, all the kids loved it, business went up.

Then a black kid had to take a dump. And his mother told him to just do it in the ball pit because I dunno, dumbass ghetto trash. All the balls had to be thrown away, the playplace had to be closed, professionally disinfected at enormous expense per regulation, and basically all the revenue increase for that year was eaten up by one dumbass and the playplace had to be blocked off, which irritated customers who saw it and then couldn't bring their kids inside. Many complained. about false advertising, etc.

A cool thing became a drag and a negative.

I get why these went away. It sucks, it really fucking sucks, but we can't have nice things when welfare queens tell their kids to take a shit in the playground.

[HowlingMutant @Howlingmutant0]

The left has an interesting problem where they’ve managed to all but eradicate racism from mainstream society but they’ve built up an entire ideology centered around fighting it, so now the demand for racism has exceeded the supply. Which leads to stuff like this

[alexandriabrown @alexthechick]

And it is a sucker bet that qualified immunity will prevent any lawsuits over this.

If the police want to use Flock or any other type of surveillance and AI use, let them put every penny of their pension, bank accounts, and homes up as collateral.

It’s not the fault of women that this woman and some terminally online women are bad actors.

No more than it’s my fault as a man that men tend to commit most of the violent crime in the world.

Knock this stupid group guilt shit off. We aren’t liberals.

We don’t do that here.

So…

The last black person to be lynched by white people was 45 years ago.

The last black person to be lynched by black people was 2 months ago

Why is there a “Stop The Lynchings” panel?

Racism is very lucrative…

[Buck Sexton @BuckSexton]

Both arrested suspects in this murder are black. Why does the AP list the race of the victim but not her killers in the title?

[alexandriabrown @alexthechick]

I have heard this emotional incontinence since the mid 1980s.

The stench of it has not improved with age.

No, I do not believe this is the last time my vote will count and anyone on the Right who says this is as divorced from reality as everyone on the Left who says this.

Let’s talk about what is true and what is false in the Nolan Wells investigation:

It was false that Nolan went out with just 3 white friends to a deserted island. It was false that his phone was taken from him. It was false that he was involved in an altercation. It was false that his phone was tampered with or had anything removed from it. It was false that anyone supplied Nolan with alcohol. It was false that he got back on the Triton boat to go home on the Fourth. It was false that he appeared at a pool party in the early morning hours of July 5th. It was false that Bart Edmiston, Jr. had any reason to be jealous of Nolan. It was false that he had a previous relationship with “Katie.” It was false that he ever denied being on Horn Island. It was false that an activist with a music production degree discovered hidden words that proved anything at all. It was false, categorically, that Nolan’s friends did anything to him. It was also false that Sheriff John Ledbetter ever jumped to the conclusion of “no foul play” at the beginning of an investigation he repeatedly described as “active and ongoing.”

It is true that Nolan was part of a very large, mixed-race group that went to a very busy Horn Island on July 4th. It is true that multiple people left their phones on the Triton boat he rode out on, several of whom later had to retrieve their phones back on the mainland. It is true that Tracestin Shepherd had an altercation that Nolan was not involved in. It is true that when Nolan’s friends implored him to get back on the boat, he elected to stay on Horn Island. It is true he was seen on the island after his friends had left. It is true that when Nolan’s friends figured out he’d not made it back that day, they contacted his mom and the Coast Guard and turned over his phone to the family that night. It is true that the Crump team’s examination of Nolan’s phone revealed no tampering. It is true that Nolan used a fake ID to buy his own alcohol. It is true that the autopsy showed physical evidence consistent with drowning and no signs of defensive wounds. It is true that Bart Edmiston, Jr. helped the Triton boat that was experiencing a bilge pump issue that afternoon. It is true that 24 witnesses all said Nolan wasn’t on either the Triton or my client’s Tideline at the time of departure. It is true that there are videos and photographs that show he was not. It is true that the “pool party” had occurred in another city on another date and that Bart was not there.

It is also true that Ben Crump knew or had access to this information and chose to ignore it, to remain quiet about it, and to stoke the conspiracies of internet sleuths instead of telling the damn truth. It is true that when his team was afforded the opportunity to present any witnesses and any evidence of a crime, they told the grand jury “we don’t have any.” It is true that a long list of people are about to find out that letters sent to them were not a “silencing effort,” but a prelude to real accountability in court. And more of that is coming.

It is true that Nolan Wells’ death is a tragedy and even that there are questions we may never fully answer. It is false that his friends hurt him.

She was lynched by a black man.

[The Associated Press @AP]

The death of Tasia Fortune, a Black Mississippi woman found hanging from a tree on Aug. 3, has stirred distressing memories of the grim history of lynchings across the U.S. South.
