Scammers Are Using Facebook to Trick People Into Thinking They Donated to ISIS, DHS Says

> After gaining a victim’s trust, the scammer will describe some sort of hardship that they are going through in order to persuade them to send a small amount of money.

The following day the victim will get a call from a fraudster claiming to be a member of law enforcement or the DHS. To appear even more convincing, the scammers will spoof the phone numbers, meaning they change the Caller ID information to make the call seem seems like it is coming from law enforcement officials.

Did I mention this yet? Facebook is cracking down on groups urging parents of autistic children to "medicate" their children with turpentine, urine and chlorine dioxide, applied orally, through an enema or in a bath

Schiff cancels 'enforcement' meeting after Justice Department offers to share Mueller documents

Also, didn't see this posted from last night:

Confidential draft IRS memo says tax returns must be given to Congress unless president invokes executive privilege

And many people have noted that the "unless president invokes executive privilege" exception doesn't even really apply to this situation either

Since the president's personal and business taxes are not (and could not plausibly be interpreted to be) "internal executive branch communication"

THIS IS FINE: Officials Dispute Mike Pompeo's Claim That Iran Is Collaborating With Al Qaeda

ABSOLUTELY NO POSSIBILITY OF THIS GOING WRONG, NO SIR

Ha ha ha: Newsweek: Bernie Sanders Is Far More Popular with Voters Who Say They Aren't Paying Any Attention

That can't be the polling headline a candidate wants to see...

4:16 PM

Ah, very stable president

I don't know why they went to the meeting in the first place because how else was this going to go down?

But yeah the President is saying if you investigate him he's basically not interested in bothering to run the country, soooo

Yeah, the "we're just trying to focus on important bipartisan work" approach is just... increasingly laughably absurd.

@BradC all these early polls are mostly bullshit lol

jeb bush was leading at this time

and also most of these fools still use landline polls that literally only get people over 50

@Unionhawk definitely true.

in fact I think every primary frontrunner this early in the 21st century crashed?

I mean they printed out a dumbass sign

4:21 PM

I'd have to look there has been a lot of them that followed that path

actually probably not the 2016 dem primary

now that my brain has unblocked that year

lol Schumer with the Captain Obvious statement that it was planned

They had a sign and brought the media to the Rose Garden before he even walked in the room!

@TimStone Thanks for linking this!

NY state assembly has passed the tax return disclosure bill, headed to Cuomo now

@TimStone Welp 🤷‍♂️

Wow, what a joke of an ABC headline, based on what we know happened:

Trump, Pelosi, Schumer meet, looking to find common ground on infrastructure funding

eh, looks like it was written and posted before the actual event (non-event?)

So it could definitely use an "UPDATE: IT WENT BADLY"

Ah, here is a much more satisfying headline:

Nigel Farage ‘trapped on Brexit bus due to people armed with milkshakes’

@BradC this is delightful

> Prison video: Staff responded to dying inmate with 'zero sense of urgency,' family says

@Ash yep, good article, too. I like the picture of the 5-Guys cup on the ground with the caption "believed to be the one used in the attack"

@TimStone This is a damn fine way of getting yourself killed

It's insane, why would anyone even think to do this? The world is crazy

if only the NY metro system had some sort of superhero who was just passionate about driving subways and busses

>:(

Captain Snakeybus

(there was one but he is iirc committed by the state of new york)

(because there is no justice in this world)

(JUST GIVE HIM A JOB WITH METRO HE'S REALLY GOOD AT IT)
