The Meredith family was forced to abandon their Oklahoma house after it filled with black goo, reaching gas concentrations at explosive levels. Despite evidence of oil and gas pollution, the state “wanted to act like it would go away,” the family says.

Meanwhile, DOJ is also seeking to vacate the seditious conspiracy conviction of Stewart Rhodes, who said “We should have brought rifles…I'd hang fuckin' Pelosi from the lamppost."

Ashley St. Clair confirmed the WH runs group chats telling these accounts what to post. Within minutes of shots fired tonight, before there was any news of casualties and before the President said this exact talking point, this was the chat in real time.

EXCLUSIVE: Behind the scenes, the Trump administration has been wielding its vast power to transform the midterm elections.

This is the untold story of Trump’s efforts to, as he has called it, “take over” the midterms.

Over the past few years, I’ve been fascinated with one of the largest federal investigations happening in Georgia, known as Operation Blooming Onion. So I partnered with @zaydee_s to uncover the untold story of an unnamed victim at the heart of the case. 🧵

A woman in Manhattan reported to police that an Amazon delivery man, 5'6'', exposed himself to her.

Police did a face recognition search, showed her result, arrested the wrong guy, 6'2''.

What did the NYPD not do? Call Amazon.

Wow. On NPR, @gbrumfiel reports a Social Security official “copied the Social Security numbers, names and birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private section of the agency's cloud.”

The source is a whistleblower, who is named: Charles Borges, SSN chief data officer.

Missing the snow? Long term warming has not helped. This December, too, was much warmer than normal even compared to updated 1991-2020 climate norms.

Here's how snowfall has changed on average per decade since 1959. (limited to January through March)

women died because they received no life saving care as they were having miscarriages in Georgia and the state responded by simply eradicating the committee that investigated deaths of pregnant women.

In Indiana, the average school voucher recipient has never attended public school and comes from a family earning more than $99,000 a year.
