CNN reports that X, under Elon Musk, is far more ideologically balanced than it was as Twitter. It looks like America! Making money, too. https://t.co/13LTXRoYn6

For those of you who are concerned, I shortened a sentence in the @scottwjohnson WSJ piece on Walz. In full, it reads: 'As Minnesota’s Center of the American Experiment has documented, under Mr. Walz Minnesota has become a high-crime state.'

Whistleblower said Willis' office was using federal 'youth empowerment and gang prevention' money for 'swag,' computers, and travel. Willis did not deny. Then she fired the whistleblower.

Biden DOJ asking for reduced sentence for BLM rioter who set fire that killed a man: Defendant felt 'frustrated...disenfranchised.' He was 'caught up in the fury of the mob.' And he believed that by rioting he was engaging in 'the language of the unheard.'

Russian billionaire Yelena Baturina wired $3.5 million to one of Hunter Biden's companies. And then -- voila! -- she found herself at dinner with the Vice President of the United States.

So how did Hunter Biden's Burisma tax evasion scheme actually work? IRS whistleblower explains: Ukrainians gave Hunter money. Hunter then gave it to Chinese company. Chinese company then 'loaned' the money to Hunter. Bingo! No income to tax! https://washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/stuff-hunter-biden-didnt-get-indicted https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/stuff-hunter-biden-didnt-get-indicted

The Texas Democrats who fled the state to stop a Republican elections bill from becoming law have now sued Gov. Greg Abbott. The lawsuit is really funny. Thread:
@ByronYork - Byron York
After fleeing Texas, the Democratic lawmakers allege they have 'suffered much anxiety and distress over the separation from their families.' They blame Abbott. https://static.texastribune.org/media/files/abc64676e4983dd8acf9bf1a092478b2/Texas%20House%20Democrats%20sue%20GOP%20leaders.pdf?_ga=2.182161767.1917703555.1628426506-1307998437.1617189624

After fleeing Texas, the Democrats say they have 'lost much time from their homes and the companionship and care of their families.' They blame Abbott.
@ByronYork - Byron York
In addition, the Texas Democrats claim Abbott has violated their constitutional rights on the basis of race, 'in that certain plaintiffs are either black or white.'
@ByronYork - Byron York
The Texas Democrats also claim Abbott has violated their constitutional rights on the basis of color, 'in that certain plaintiffs are distinguishable based upon the melanin in their skin.'
@ByronYork - Byron York
The Democrats claim Abbott has violated their constitutional rights on the basis of creed, 'in that certain plaintiffs have expressed a faith or belief that every eligible citizen has a right to vote.'
@ByronYork - Byron York
The Democrats also claim Abbott has violated their constitutional rights on the basis of 'natural origin,' whatever that is. They apparently meant to say 'national origin,' because they add 'certain plaintiffs are descendants of persons born in other countries.'
@ByronYork - Byron York
The Democrats are asking a judge to issue a restraining order against Abbott. They also want the governor to pay their attorneys' fees and 'actual and punitive damages.'
