Salvini, who this week pushed through parliament tougher sanctions on charity ships that seek to bring migrants rescued at sea to Italy, was quick to reply.
"Given this generous millionaire is voicing concern for the fate of the Open Arms migrants, we thank him: he can take back to Hollywood, on his private plane, all the people aboard and support them in his villas. Thank you Richard!" he said in a statement.

When you're that wrong, there's a word for it: lying.
While conservative commentary on the Warren/Harris tweets might be easily dismissed, Vox’s German Lopez gave the critique some support from the Left.
“Five years after the shooting, though, major presidential campaigns are still getting the details wrong,” Lopez wrote in an explainer of Warren and Harris’s tweets.

Even liberal rag, Vox, draws the line at calling the Michael Brown shooting "murder" - and calls out Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris for doing so, albeit in service of the "police brutality" narrative.

Dozens of public university presidents make more than the U.S. president: Report. People talk about capping CEO pay, but never about capping the pay of administrators at taxpayer-subsidized institutions. Weird.
“The DA’s Office retrieved certain items from the Sheriff’s Office pursuant to a search warrant signed by a Santa Clara County Superior Court judge,” the office said in an official statement about the Aug. 2 search. “The retrieved items are part of an ongoing investigation, and therefore, nothing more can be said at this time.”
But sources confirmed that the investigation involves an alleged “quid pro quo” between donors to six-term Sheriff Laurie Smith’s election efforts and people who have obtained concealed-carry weapons permits from her office, which has been relatively stingy about issuing the privilege compared to neighboring counties.
The sources also said that the probe, while publicly surfacing over the past few days, had been in the works far longer and that it is focused on some of Smith’s trusted advisers in the agency.

The recruits the city sent to the police training academy in 2014 were supposed to help rebuild a force decimated by layoffs, but instead six of those officers ended up being arrested in an FBI investigation that brought disgrace to their department.
Four of the FBI’s targets were among 21 recruits who went to the police academy in January 2014, while the two others were part of the class of 26 trainees who started in July 2014.

War on meat? paywalled, but they provide the lede graph:
The BBC, misreporting a United Nations report, wants us to switch to a mostly plant-based diet in order to alter the weather. Would it work? No. A recent “meta-analysis” of all the peer-reviewed papers on this topic found that if the average westerner gave up meat altogether it would cut her total emissions by just 4.3 per cent. This is because food is only a modest part of our emissions. And since vegetables are cheap, the savings would almost certainly be spent on other things with emissions attached, so the actual reduction would be even smaller than that. The effect on the climate would be unmeasurable.

And that weapon of war is a semi-automatic rifle (just like the AR-15), but it fires a bigger bullet (.30-06 or 7.62×63mm vs. .223 or 5.56x45mm).
