Well, Gov Polis, she certainly does sound contrite.

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

If Dems can flip a few state legislative chambers in places like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota this cycle, suddently a path opens to redrawing up to 22 additional House seats in time for 2028, the analysis finds. If Dems have a good midterm, that's doable. newrepublic.com/article/2098...

And Patel is not the only one who should face consequences for this heinous act of authoritarian overreach. The DOJ lawyers willing to go along with this sham prosecution need to be disbarred.

I imagine this will be Exhibit A in Comey’s motion to dismiss his seashell indictment for selective prosecution, based on a failure to charge others similarly situated.
