This fucking lying hack. California home price index.
Aaron RuparHassett: "One of the metrics of shelter costs that I find most interesting is that they're going down pretty rapidly in places like California because everybody is leaving. Even though there are high prices in California, it puts downward pressure on inflation because everybody is leaving the state"
Abby was the one that broke open the Max Miller story (and shame on NYT for not acknowledging that). Here is her original story: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Assault, misogyny, verbal threats: Records detail new allegations against Rep. Max MillerPolice reports and filings in a bitter custody dispute raise new questions about the conduct of an Ohio Republican as he campaigns for a third term.www.motherjones.comAbby VesoulisI first got 1000+ pages of court documents from Miller & Moreno's custody case. Anybody can request these from Cuyahoga County. I reviewed those by myself, one by one—no AI involved!—and the filings pointed to police reports. I then sought those out separately and spent days combing through them.
A few overlooked details from my July 18 piece on Rep. Max Miller—threading them below. 🧵 www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Several Democratic members of Congress are requesting the House Ethics Committee investigate Congressman Max Miller (R-OH) over allegations that he assaulted his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, and possibly injured their child.
Because of course they are.

The goal of the battle over the origins of COVID19 is “to sow distrust in science and scientists”. This article shows why experts believe that this was a spillover event and not a lab leak. The maps showing the cluster of the first cases around the wet market are old school Epidemiology. Solid.
Animal spillover? Lab leak? What the science says about the origins of COVID-19The release of Dr. Anthony Fauci's pandemic diaries has rekindled the debate over the origins of SARS-CoV-2. Here's how scientists have weighed in.www.npr.org

This is an unusually detailed look at how the anti-vaccine movement involves itself into the life of a family, and a criminal case. As I wrote about in the piece, this is not the first time; @kieraevebutler.bsky.social covered a similar story in Texas. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Musk calls for the assassination of a reporter who embarrassed him with basic questions
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)There is simply no ambiguity in what Elon Musk is arguing and endorsing here.
After the family separation crisis of 2018, many impacted families earned legal status in the United States through a settlement agreement. Years later, some of them are being detained and deported by the Trump administration. This week on @revealnews.org, one mother relives her worst nightmare.

WSJ’s Josh Dawsey got to see unreleased footage from years of a documentarian’s inside access to Lindsey Graham. It’s filled with giddy, war-hungry stuff like this: (Gift link below)
Confirmed cases of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo have surged beyond 3,000. The official death toll has climbed to 1,354, a rise of more than 40% in just five days. A public health consultant tells Al Jazeera the virus is 'spreading like wildfire'.
Would assume everyone knows it by now, but just in case "First the traitors, then the invaders" is an explicit reference to The Turner Diaries, where a white supremacist revolution overruns "The System" and kills all their enemy during the evocatively named "Day of the Rope".
The Turner Diaries - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.orgSunder Katwala (sundersays)X owner Elon Musk indicates he would prioritise political violence (assassination of pro-migration politicians is the common sense meaning) over violence against "invaders" (refugees, asylum seekers, maybe ethnic minorities generally) while endorsing call for violence (killing) against both groups
AWFUL. Ordering ICE to target an ethnic group the president has repeatedly attacked is bigotry as official government policy. TPS recipients are the most vetted immigrants here. They have to pass background checks every 18 months. Most Haitians with TPS entered legally also!
ICE plans to target Haitians as Temporary Protected Status is set to end, sources sayThe plans include arresting migrants in Ohio and quickly putting them on deportation flights to crisis-stricken Haiti, the internal documents indicate.www.cbsnews.com
Admirable clarity @science.org
