@ihteshamali When you start an evil war, executed by an incompetent leader that just fired the team in charge of verifying this kind of targets, I don't think it's fair to blame the tool used.
Our response to Lauren Boebert's denial of our story about her sexual relationship with 2 female and 1 male staffer, paying $200K in hush money, and giving an ex lover a 5 month no work, ghost job:
"Lauren Boebert's actions speak a lot louder than her words.
When we published a story about her drunken ATV accident with her son and dog in the back, and that injured her sister-in-law, son, in Moab, UT, the Denver Post reported she responded, she "never drinks alcohol." That is disproved by the NY Post story about her being cut off from alcohol at a NY party: https://t.co/7AQXdeB6Xp
When Boebert was confronted by a Shooters Cafe ex-employee's wife about breaking up their marriage, she responded that she never had sex with that man. The NY Post disproved her lie: https://t.co/O7mEkPJiwU
When confronted about smoking pot, being inebriated, and fondling Quinn Gallagher at a BeetleJuice play, she said, "guilty to laughing and singing too loud!"
Lauren Boebert clearly has a problem telling the truth and taking responsibility for her actions.
We stand 100% by our story and sources. Read the full story and the complaint and ask yourself, why would I perjure myself over this person and risk a criminal trial? I live with three school-age children and would never risk my freedom or their futures.
Regarding my motivation, my job is to expose Lauren Boebert for the fraud she is with facts. I have a problem with politicians that pretend to be Christian, anti-LGBTQ, and for law and order, but then play the "laws for thee, not for me" card.
We have, and will continue, to report on Lauren Boebert and her crime family without fear and at personal and financial sacrifice.
If Lauren Boebert or anyone else believes we are lying for political points or because I want attention, please sue me. I'll personally accept service; DM for my home address. My lawyer and I have beaten Boebert in Colorado Federal Court once, and we'll do it again.
Ms. Boebert thinks God is only on her side and that the rules don't apply to her. That may be true, but the facts are on our side.
Finally, if any journalist, pundit, news anchor, or podcaster wants to debate this story or challenge my reporting, please DM me. I'll show up anywhere and anytime and bring my story notes. I have nothing to hide.
We'll have more on this story and new details on Monday.

ICE brutally detain 2 U.S. citizen teens—driving to hand in papers to join Marines.
Now changing their minds about enlisting.
"How can I serve a country that doesn't even uphold my basic rights?"
Agents shot them with pepper spray—then punched them in the face.
Just because they stopped to film an ICE operation arresting parents outside of a school.
They were locked up for 8 hours—despite having proof they were U.S. citizens.
Agent told them:
"I don't give a damn... your parents can't help you now."
Incident occurred near Santos Livas Elementary School in Alamo, Texas.
Posting first full length English language credited video here to help raise awareness.
Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.
MIT published a brutally honest report on what AI is doing to students.
A committee of professors and students spent five months studying how AI changed learning on campus, and the findings read like a warning to every university on the planet.
Study groups are disappearing. Office hours are emptying out. Problem sets and take-home exams no longer prove anything, because AI can produce credible solutions to almost any written assignment in the undergraduate curriculum. Students who lean on chatbots lose mastery and confidence, and some slip into what the report calls cognitive surrender, reaching for AI at the first hint of struggle.
The numbers are rough. 46 percent of surveyed MIT undergrads use LLMs daily. 90 percent worry about their own overreliance. Undergrads who feel AI makes them replaceable now outnumber those who feel it makes them capable.
The committee's answer surprised me. They refused to fight AI with surveillance. The report calls AI detectors unreliable, says lockdown browsers feel like spying, and warns that policing students builds a classroom atmosphere of mutual distrust.
Instead, MIT wants to rebuild education around the things AI can't replace. That means oral exams, semester portfolios, in-person project work, and a required social component in every subject. The report even floats the idea of rethinking grades entirely, since without a GPA to optimize, much of the incentive to cheat with AI evaporates.
The committee warns professors against replacing undergrad research assistants with AI agents just because they're cheaper, because a university exists to grow people, not output.
The most famous tech school on earth admitted the machines broke its way of teaching. Its answer is more humans, not more software.
BREAKING🚨 Texas just MOVED its first maternal death report since Roe fell from September 1 to December 1, so voters won't see how many women DIED under the abortion ban before they vote.
I have an update on my gardener who was taken by ICE.
Three big things have happened since then.
1. The neighbors have all come together to help.
We hired a good immigration lawyer for him. We also found someone willing to serve as his financial sponsor. That matters because one of the things the government will consider is whether he’s likely to show up for future hearings. Having someone willing to vouch for him, and having deep ties to his family and community, can help.
2. We’ve raised enough money to post a bond if he’s granted one.
We think he has a strong case for being released from detention while his case proceeds.
He has lived in the United States since he was 16. (He is now 44.) He runs his own business. He has a wife and two young children. He owns his home. And he has many, many people willing to write letters saying that he’s an important part of this community and is not going anywhere.
We’ll have to wait to see if it’s granted. Fingers crossed.
3. His lawyer is asking to postpone his court date, which is currently scheduled for next week.
This is really important. The Trump administration is trying to move people through the immigration system quickly so it can deport them as fast as possible. His lawyer wants time to gather evidence and build the best possible case for letting him stay. Again, fingers crossed.
But this is what really broke my heart.
My gardener was finally able to get a call through to his wife two days ago. This strong, confident, capable man was terrified. He didn’t know what to do.
Then his wife told him what everyone was doing behind the scenes.
He sobbed.
I don't know if we are going to get him home. I wish I could tell you that we will.
But I do know that we are seeing both the best and worst of American in real time.
The worst is a system that can take a man away from his wife and kids and leave him sitting in detention, terrified.
The best is a group of people who heard what happened and immediately asked: What can we do? And then they did it.
I’m betting on that America.
I was just detained for almost two hours at Miami International Airport coming back from an overseas trip. I was interrogated, asked about my work, political activities, books and literature I had, and my phone was seized.
Este es Michael Caruso, diputado trumpista republicano en Florida, fue cazado abusando sexualmente de su propio nieto de 12 años, al que obligó a hacerle sexo oral.
Caruso defendía la pena de muerte para los pedófilos... sin embargo, ahora que el pederasta es él, salió libre tras pagar una fianza y aprovecharse del sistema judicial protector de pedófilos, a pesar de tener 5 cargos, entre ellos secuestro y abuso sexual de niños.
Nunca falla en estos fachos ultraconservadores de misa de los domingos, siempre terminan siendo criminales de la peor especie.
16 years ago Google pulled its search engine out of China because they wouldn’t submit to an authoritarian government.
Today, they’re renaming lakes to appease one.
My husband and I just checked our voter registration, here in Texas. We have been suspended. They said they got returned mail and so they suspended us. I call bullshit and voter suppression. How do we know we didn’t get mail they sent us, we DIDN’T GET IT! We just voted /1
Did you guys hear about the woman in Iran who was sentenced to 12 years in prison because authorities believed her stillbirth was an abortion?
Nevermind y'all, my mistake, that happened in Oklahoma
