Sandy Hook lawyers say Alex Jones’s attorneys accidentally gave them his phone contents

U.S. prison officials resist making inmates pay court-ordered victim fees: R. Kelly has roughly $28,000 in a prison account while a judge ordered him to pay $140,000 as part of his sentence - "Federal prisoner spending generates more than $80 million a year for the agency — mostly from profits on items like commissary purchases and phone calls, according to the Bureau of Prisons response to a public records request. Those documents also show that the agency earns interest from some accounts."

Opinion  The GOP is sick. It didn’t start with Trump — and won’t end with him. - "Much has been made of the ensuing polarization in our politics, and it’s true that moderates are a vanishing breed. But the problem isn’t primarily polarization. The problem is that one of our two major political parties has ceased good-faith participation in the democratic process. Of course, there are instances of violence, disinformation, racism and corruption among Democrats and the political left, but the scale isn’t at all comparable. Only one party fomented a bloody insurrection and even after that voted in large numbers (139 House Republicans, a two-thirds majority) to overturn the will of the voters in the 2020 election. Only one party promotes a web of conspiracy theories in place of facts. Only one party is trying to restrict voting and discredit elections. Only one party is stoking fear of minorities and immigrants."
