$8 mil accounting error found "It took some more tooth-pulling (and several terse answers from Towey) for Rinck to get a somewhat clarifying explanation. Basically the money looked like it was missing because of a one-time “transactional entry error in our financial accounting system,” Towey said."
I certainly hope and expect that any mainstream press who jump on this story after I broke it two weeks ago on Bluesky, then wrote about iti again on PubliCola yesterday, will credit PubliCola's reporting, in which I also noted that I found it odd that no other media picked up on this.
I don't know where I first saw this today, but it seems strange that this DOJ is pursuing criminal charges against this company. Seems they must have gotten crosswise with Putin and Trump or else the Cali Central District DA office is about to be reined in. www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr...

Feds say GOP candidate Thomas Ross schemed for weeks to plant cocaine and Adderall on primary rival Louise Secker to sink her campaign. Ross, won the nomination by 32 votes last month, was charged Wednesday with conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance. missouriindependent.com/2026/09/03/m...
Looks like the latter (from before it was a thing) from this reporting

Only on Apple News: A True-Crime Producer Posed as an Heiress — Then Allegedly Stole $30 Million Mary Carole McDonnell made low-budget crime shows, but her own story was built on deceptions fit for one of her series. Now she’s on the FBI’s Most Wanted list. apple.news/A8PLp8dgKSKq...

I thought it was s really morbid workplace "humor" that had people "write the euthanasia cards at work". It took me a minute to figure out that they meant they do pet euthansia.
My best friend had to be hospitalized yesterday because she thought she was having heart problems. Turned out she has gallstones and needs her gallbladder removed. I write the euthanasia cards at work and we’re a fucked up group, and so an idea was born.

They had already found a higher recidivism rate for this group than other convicts. I wonder if there's a similar study for others that have been pardoned. Does the pardon incentivise future crime?
@lawfaremedia.org @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org @katherinepomps.bsky.social has found 3x the number of recidivists than previously reported www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

I can tell you from experience that of people actually read and shared stories about Trump and crypto, more people would know. The stories are written. And ignored.

This old quote from Balloon Juice is getting paraphrased for a new audience.
This is the conservative pitch to most Americans: Sure, you might be suffering as a result of our policies, but other people -- people who are different from you, people you don't like -- they're suffering a lot more than you, so it all works out.
Long ago in the Jack In The Box e.coli outbreak I recall some wag claimed it had a new motto of "eat shit and die". I looks like RAW FARM may have dusted that off and proudly claimed it for itself.
The FDA has asked Raw Farm to recall the cheddar cheese linked to the outbreak and "it has declined." But E.coli 0157 H7 is a very pathogenic bacteria. So buyer be aware and beware here. 1/3
