Failed Scooby-Doo villain-turned-House Oversight Chairman James Comer served up a piping hot nothingburger on Monday with his latest "evidence" of President Biden's corrupt dealings with his son, Hunter.

Former Trump White House official "stunned" at ex-president's visible "decline" in Iowa speech
The disgraced ex-president's troubling cognitive decline is back in some headlines, as former MAGA White House official Alyssa Farah Griffin publicly commented on the "remarkable" "slowing down" that she has noticed in her former boss recently. Griffin pointed to the "lack of sharpness in what he's saying and a lack of kind of clarity" as a particular cause for concern, but don't expect Republicans or right-wing media personalities to pivot away from incessant commentary on President Biden's age anytime soon.

Atlanta police use Signal to discuss "Cop City" amid outcry over transparency
High-ranking members of Atlanta’s scandal-plagued police department have been using Signal, an encrypted phone app, to communicate about the controversial police and fire department training center known as "Cop City" — to each other, to other police departments, and to companies involved in building the $90 million project — because, well, transparency is a ruse and accountability a farce. It appears the department conveniently began using the app around the same time multiple police agencies entered a forested public park where protesters were camped, resulting in state troopers shooting and killing 26-year-old environmental activist Manuel Paez Terán, also known as "Tortuguita." Autopsy results showed Paez Terán sustained 57 gunshot wounds and had no gunpowder residue on their hands, despite police accounts claiming Terán was armed at the time of the fatal encounter.

Israel presses ground offensive in southern Gaza, air strikes intensify
Intense Israeli air strikes hit the south of the Gaza Strip on Monday, killing and wounding dozens of Palestinians, including in areas where Israel had told previously told civilians to seek shelter, residents and journalists on the ground said. Israeli troops and tanks also pressed their ground campaign against Hamas militants in the south of the enclave after having largely gained control of the now-devastated north. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres appealed to Israel to avoid further action that would make the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza worse, and to spare civilians from more suffering, while US officials have repeatedly urged Prime Minister Netanyahu to do more to protect civilians and not repeat the "massive" civilian toll it has already exacted in the north.

Misinformation expert says she was fired by Harvard under Meta pressure
Once again proving that cancel culture does exist but only as a weapon against those who question entrenched power, one of the world’s leading experts on misinformation says she was fired by Harvard University for criticizing Meta. Surely this had nothing to do with a $500 million donation to the university from Mark Zuckerberg’s charity around the same time. Joan Donovan says that her funding was cut off, she could not hire assistants, and she was made the target of a smear campaign by Harvard employees before ultimately losing her job altogether.
