A possible biological laboratory discovered in a Las Vegas home on Saturday may be connected to an illegal medical lab previously found in California that contained infectious agents including HIV and malaria, according to investigators.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and FBI executed a search warrant at a home on Sugar Springs Drive early Saturday morning, where they discovered what authorities described as a "possible biological laboratory" containing "refrigerators with vials containing unknown liquids," according to The Hill.
Sheriff Kevin McMahill called the investigation "extremely complex" during a Saturday news conference, noting that one suspect was taken into custody. The sheriff assured residents this was an isolated incident with no threat to the public.
"This has to be a slow and methodical process by design," McMahill said. "We have to take these situations very seriously, and we take all necessary precautions to keep our personnel and community safe."

Greene: MAGA 'was all a lie'
(from my local rag, it appears that the original source is the hill)
https://www.kxan.com/top-stories/greene-maga-was-all-a-lie/?tbref=hp
Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again slogan was a “lie,” saying his first year back in office was focused on obliging wealthy supporters.
“I think people are realizing it was all a lie. It was a big lie for the people. What MAGA is really serving in this administration, who they’re serving, is their big donors,” Greene said in a Wednesday interview with radio personality Kim Iversen.
“The big, big donors that donated all the money and continue to donate to the president’s PACs and donate to the 250th anniversary and are donating to the big ballroom,” she added.
The former Georgia representative recently resigned from Congress, after airing concerns over the future of health care premiums and the war in Gaza, citing fractures within the GOP and falling out with Trump and MAGA, despite years of loyal support for the president.

so in summation, Greene was aokay if it was owning the libs and destroying the poor but now things went to far because it was affecting her, you know, the rich.
Trump Reveals Sinister New Plot to Game Elections
(And here we are. I was talking about just this last week and got dog piled.)
https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-reveals-sinister-new-plot-to-game-elections
President Donald Trump has urged Republicans to seize control of elections and place voting under federal authority, in one of his most explicit signs yet that he wants to game the system.
In a podcast interview with Dan Bongino, his former FBI deputy director, Trump suggested Republicans should “nationalize” elections around the country by taking over the way ballots are cast and counted.
“The Republicans should say, we want to take over,” he said, claiming without evidence that people were being “brought to our country to vote, and they vote illegally.”
“We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”
The president’s comments came less than a week after the FBI raided an elections office outside Atlanta, seizing ballots and other voting records from the 2020 election in Georgia.

Feds allege $3.4 billion Medicare fraud scheme tied to Russian citizen living in Austin
(3.4 billion by a Russian crook and not a peep in the national news)
https://www.kxan.com/investigations/feds-allege-3-4-billion-medicare-fraud-scheme-tied-to-russian-citizen-living-in-austin/
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Federal authorities say a Texas man helped orchestrate a health care fraud scheme that billed Medicare billions of dollars for medical equipment such as orthotic braces, glucose monitors, urinary catheters and wound dressings that patients often did not need and, in many cases, never received, according to a U.S. District Court criminal complaint uncovered by KXAN investigators.
Nika Machutadze, a Russian citizen who was living in Austin, is charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering tied to the alleged fraud, which involved two durable medical equipment companies operating in Florida and Texas.
The federal court records do not identify the Florida-based company, however KXAN found Florida Secretary of State records show one business associated with Machutadze named Sunshine Senior Solutions, LLC.
According to the affidavit, one of the companies submitted claims to Medicare for more than 1.6 million items billed to over 220,000 beneficiaries nationwide, resulting in $3.33 billion in Medicare charges. Investigators say Medicare processed approximately $1.78 billion of those claims as paid before suspending reimbursements.

the Georgia bullshit.
the orange asshole and his room full of sycophantic psychopaths are going to create 11K votes from whole cloth to somehow justify his fucked up belief that he won Georgia in 2020.
this is so completely fucked up on so many levels. it's hard to know where it begins (trumps psychotic parents) or where it ends (him dead soon hopefully).
but the thing that worries is this:
he will manufacture a "win" in Georgia (that literally means nothing at this point) and use as cudgel in his mission to claim that all elections are fake and crooked.
and with 10 months to go till the midterms, he will, with his room full of dopes, "overhaul" the election process so only repukes can win aka keep him out of prison.
I have been saying since he was reselected that there will not be midterm election or it will be so completely fucked up, that everything will be thrown into chaos. The orange asshole will use that same chaos as an excuse for anything and everything.
My only hope is Georgia stands up and counters this bullshit somehow.
but you know maga. they are not high on rights or laws right now.
if Margie green has any sort of real spine instead of her trying to change her stripes to run for Gov, she would now stand up in a very public way to this, but alas, like most things these days, she won't. But don't you worry she will make a run on all the local and national news shows to portray herself as "poor little me", "no one listened to me" as if she was the first to realize all the bullshit going down.
two things I'm thankful for...
that the orange asshole is a demented old man.
and the ineptness of the right wing
just think what we would be experiencing if the orange asshole was more like Stephen Miller and they were actually competent.
I'm thankful for small things.
just saw the best quote about magas on YouTube...
maga: they stand for nothing and fall for everything.
So bovino has been reassigned
He’s back to his old stomping grounds out in Southern California. And do you honestly believe he’s going to not be pissed off by this and take out on the locals?
But don’t you worry, it won’t be covered by the MSM, he’s old news and those that champion freedom think this is a win.
He will retire and will get a fat pension. And whatever else he was promised. Because he didn’t just vanish gracefully, he vanished with a threat and they paid him off to leave.
And what about the fuck head Nazis that did that actual killing of Good and Pretti? Will they be “reassigned” as well? We’ll never know because we don’t know who they are or what they look like.
Will we now get a “kindler gentler” “commander at large”, right? Someone who can really relate to the plight of the people, right?
Smoke and mirrors folks, shit smelling smoke and warped mirrors
