"Part of the reason the weaponization work has been difficult is that you need people who are MAGA and who are really competent," said Chad Mizelle, former chief of staff for Bondi. "Many career prosecutors are not interested in this kind of work. It's a very small group of people."

From @paulareidcnn.bsky.social and other @cnn.com folks:

I will say this much for Howling Mutant/Alexander Norden: He knows how to navigate Goodreads, which puts him above approximately 98% of his fanbase.

ELIZABETH WARREN: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?

KEVIN WARSH: Uhm, we try to keep politics if I'm confirmed out of the Federal Reserve

WARREN: I'm just asking a factual question

WARSH: I believe this body certified the election

WARREN: That's not the question I'm asking

I know I should probably just leave the other place, but there's a handful of people I still follow there who haven't migrated over here. But then I find myself arguing with the myriad nazis who comprise most of that place now. Sigh.

I have a bunch of nazis screaming at me (on the other place) because they're too stupid to scroll to the part of Goodreads that says "Community ratings." I'm not exaggerating. They literally could not figure out how to do this themselves, it's incredible.

The idea that Mutant mentioned reading that book on June 2020 and I thought "Huh, I guess I'll look for people who read this book in 2020" just blows their mind. Now I understand that guy who tried to explain binary searches to a cop must have felt.

This is particularly funny because InfoWars wrote about me this weekend

New article post on Alexander Norden aka HowlingMutant surpasses 1 Million on the everything app

Over a million views on the everything app lol

23. The Article’s assertions that on April 10, 2026, Director Patel “panicked, frantically” announcing he had been fired, engaged in a “freak-out,” and “is deeply concerned that his job is in jeopardy,” are false. On April 10, 2026, Director Patel had a routine technical problem logging into a government system, which was quickly fixed. Director Patel’s sole focus is on carrying out the administration’s law enforcement priorities. Prior to publication, the FBI expressly informed Defendants that the firing rumor was a “made-up rumor,” and that the “freak-out” and job-jeopardy claims were fabricated

In his lawsuit against @theatlantic.com insisting he's not a drunk, Kash confirms he did get locked out of FBI systems on April 10.

A lot of autistic kids are really into trains, I just happened to be off by one letter.

And Geoffrey Martin is trying to get in on it, though I can't respond since he blocked me for exposing his identity. I can insult assume that he said "Lmfao" because he finds it very funny that other people's parents still speak to them.

HowlingMutant's fans dug this up and are trying to say that I'm a "chaser." For context, I wasn't even a teenager yet in 2005. Somehow I'm unsurprised that they're really into sexualizing children.

221. Chief Justice Roberts and the Clean Power Plan Remarkable reporting from the New York Times provides a peek behind the curtain of the February 2016 rulings that ushered in the modern emergency docket. And what it reveals is pretty discouraging.

"In the first major case in which the Court granted emergency relief as a means of shaping nationwide policy, it turns out that the justice who led the charge was the one who was doing quite a bit more than calling balls and strikes."

Me on Saturday's @nytimes.com scoop in today's "One First":

Kagan screamed so loudly at liberal ally after Dobbs leak the ‘wall was shaking,' book claims Justice Kagan allegedly yelled at Justice Breyer so loudly the "wall was shaking" during the 2022 Dobbs leak crisis, a new book by Hemingway says.

Forget about the substance, the reveal that “most of” the justices talked to Mollie Hemingway for her book is bananas. Hemingway is a right-wing freak who runs a conspiracy theory blog. If literally any of the justices are taking this person seriously, the Supreme Court is GONE gone.

Hmmm this isn't quite how I recall "Ed, Edd, n Eddy"

Trump’s antipathy for Pope may have roots in childhood Protestant church Manhattan church led by Norman Vincent Peale was known for opposing presidency of JFK – and Catholics in general

Oh come on @theguardian.com, no need to over analyze this. It's about one thing: the Pope criticized him. There's nothing deeper or religious about it.

HowlingMutant is racking up allies, like disgraced fraudster Elizabeth Holmes

Not sure I see what you're getting at

I guess Elizabeth Holmes wasn't a fan of the Howling Mutant expose. Not very surprising that she doesn't like investigative journalism.

Jan Crawford @JanCBS X.com BREAKING: Justice Samuel Alito NOT retiring. Sources close to Justice Alito confirm the Fox News report that he has decided not to step down this year. In addition, sources close to Justice Thomas tell me he's not retiring. That indicates that this year, with the midterms on the horizon, Trump will not be making his 4th nomination to SCOTUS.

Huh.

Andy Biggs cries when he recounts the story of the first time he helped his granddaughter call 911 to report a black person

Well, it's pretty clear what went wrong with the Nancy Guthrie investigation: Kash Patel drank her.

time to post the best glenn greenwald tweet of all time

Like, sure, I'm a "wildly autistic sperg." But I dare say that a *moderately*, or hell, *mildly* autistic sperg probably could've cracked this.

And for the record, Mutant/Norden hardly played a "perfect game." The Goodreads page was the smoking gun, but he posted a picture of himself, posted about living in NYC, posted his birthday, had IRL friends who would call him "Alex" in his replies etc. Not exactly the best opsec

Well, I am literally autistic, so I'll give them this one. Though I'll deduct points for using the redundancy "autistic spergs."
