The Cavalier Daily – University Counsel Tim Heaphy removed by Attorney General Jason Miyares
Quote – Attorneys in the Office of University Counsel serve the attorney general. Miyares’ recent inauguration began an onslaught of over 30 firings within just over a week — these firings included the entire conviction integrity unit, a group of individuals that oversees the investigation of wrongful convictions.

Mediaite – Biden Gets His Best Polling News of 2022 From … Fox News?
Quote – FiveThirtyEight, which tracks the reliability of various pollsters, gives Fox News an A rating — making it one of the most credible in the field, according to the Nate Silver-founded site. So this number could be a sign that the tide is turning for the president. Still, the Fox News poll was not all sunshine and rainbows for the Biden team.

The Guardian – Michael Flynn allies allegedly plotted to lean on Republicans to back vote audits
Quote – Stern, who runs the intelligence firm Tactical Rabbit and is a Republican vying for a Senate seat in Pennsylvania, in multiple interviews with the Guardian said two Flynn associates with the rightwing Patriot Caucus group enlisted his help in April in a scheme to seek potentially damaging information on two Republican members of Congress to prod them to back an audit of the 2020 vote that Joe Biden won.
