A whirlwind of news over the weekend after OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was fired led to days of speculation about the future of ChatGPT, the company's flagship interactive chatbot that’s trying to mimic human intelligence.

Then yesterday evening, ChatGPT went down for users all around the world, leading some people to worry that the program was sunk or that Altman’s outing caused a breakdown.

“ChatGPT going down (possibly forever) just as college students approach their finals is *chef's kiss* to every degree possible,” joked @pankisseskafka on X.

“trying to write a 3000 word essay and chatgpt is down 💔💔💔 lord pls,” wrote another person.

The unexplained outage came after nearly all of the company’s employees signed an open letter to the board threatening to quit if Altman wasn’t reinstated as CEO.

A clear explanation for Altman’s firing hasn’t been provided by the board members yet, though unverified rumors flew around on social media that it had something to do with a conflict between “safetyist” board members who want to slow the development of artificial intelligence over concerns about its dangers and less cautious players like Altman

Early Wednesday morning, OpenAI announced that Altman would return as CEO with a new board including former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers.

In the meantime, people online grappled with what to do without the tool, with plenty of people wondering how they were going to complete their school assignments.

“I HAVE A 10+ PAGE ESSAY DUE TOMORROW AND CHATGPT IS DOWN PLEASE BE FR IM GONNA RAGE,” posted one person.

Others posted about what they were going to do if their boss asked them to rewrite something.

“just saw someone say they're struggling to program at work because chatgpt is down,” wrote another person. “the future is here, truly[.]

And with the fate of OpenAI still uncertain at the time, others wondered who was going to fix the problem if there was nobody at the company.

The outage affected both paid and subscription accounts. No chat histories were visible and any attempt to interact with the program was met with an error message.

According to OpenAI’s Status webpage, an elevated level of ChatGPT API errors were detected by the company around 2:09 PM PST. The outage was resolved by 5:46 PM. Though no explanation was given for the downtime, the webpage published a statement saying they planned to publish a public postmortem

After crypto firm Binance’s CEO Changpeng Zhao, who’s known as C.Z. in the crypto world, agreed to pay a $50 million personal fine as part of a money laundering settlement, he took to X to reassure clients that the money in the exchange was safe and wouldn’t disappear suddenly like in the case of the once mighty FTX last year.

In a post on X, where he has nearly 9 million followers, C.Z. explained that he was stepping down from the company and would be replaced as CEO by Richard Teng, the former head of Regional Markets.

“As a shareholder and former CEO with historical knowledge of our company, I will remain available to the team to consult as needed, consistent with the framework set out in our U.S. agency resolutions,” C.Z. added. C.Z. is banned from any involvement with Binance’s business until three years after a court-appointed monitor is installed at Binance, reported the New York Times.

“ I am proud to point out that in our resolutions with the U.S. agencies they: do not allege that Binance misappropriated any user funds, and do not allege that Binance engaged in any market manipulation,” C.Z. claimed in his statement.

“Funds are SAFU!” C.Z. finished, referencing a crypto meme that basically means the your money won't be disappearing.

According to the plea deal, Binance will have to pay a $4.3 billion fine and penalty to the federal government.

Binance is accused of violating money laundering provisions by not properly identifying who was using its service. The government alleged that C.Z. knew its anti-sanctions measures were being circumvented but that he did nothing about it.

News that the fund wouldn’t be affected received a positive reception on crypto X.

“funds are safu but cz was not safu,” wrote one poster.

Others saw the plea as a way to protect crypto users and keep their funds safe.

“WHEN YOU SEE CZ JUST SACRIFICED HIMSELF FOR US AND OUR BAGS[,]” wrote another.

C.Z. has long been a high-flyer in the crypto industry. In 2022, Forbes estimated that he was the richest man in the industry, with an estimated net worth of around $65 billion. In October, that fell by billions of dollars to around $17 billion, according to Bloomberg. If that figure is accurate, it would mean the $50 million fine represents around just 0.29% of his wealth.

However, the Treasury Department called the action "unprecedented," and said that the settlement would also ensure that Binance would no longer be able to operate in the United States.

Lawyers for Andrew and Tristan Tate’s alleged victims in the Romanian sex trafficking case against the brothers asked a Florida court to hold the brothers in contempt for violations of a pseudonymity order granted to the women in a civil case brought against them, citing repeated violations of the order by their lawyers.

Lawyers for the victims cited multiple occasions when Tate’s lawyers shared personal details about the victims during proceedings leading up to the court granting the order, noting that “there is a risk of physical harm and that the safety concerns apply equally to all Defendants.”

The case in question was filed by the Tate brothers against their alleged victims in July, alleging defamation, false imprisonment, interference with a business relationship, civil conspiracy, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, and seeks $5 million in damages.

Lawyers for the defendants have argued that the Tates filed the suit to harass their alleged victims, citing publicly posted videos where Andrew Tate discussed “how to destroy haters.”

“I will sue you for any and every reason forever,” the lawyers quoted Tate as saying in an interview in 2022, “and you’re gonna have to hire lawyers and turn up for ever. I will do that. I’m that guy. I’m petty. I’m petty and I’ve got a lot of money and a lot of time.”

Included among filings in the lawsuit are text message logs and victim statements from the Romanian criminal case that put the brothers in prison in December last year. The Tates filed those documents to advance the false idea that the Romanian criminal case was based entirely on allegations from the women they’re suing. In one victim statement, a woman described “freezing” after being strangled by Tristan Tate before they had sex. The Tate brothers maintain that these statements are false and all relationships they had were consensual.

Lawyers for the victims say that despite the court order, Tate’s lawyers have kept up an unredacted complaint as well as a press release on their legal firm’s website. Those documents contain the names of the alleged victims’ and their family and associates who the Tates are suing. 

They also cited a livestream Tate’s lawyer Joseph McBride appeared on the Fresh & Fit podcast where he shared personal details about the defendants, painting them as a scheming pair of women who concocted a fabricated story about sex trafficking to frame the brothers.

A link to the unredacted lawsuit is still included in the description of that video.

Lawyers for the women sent an email to Tate’s lawyers last asking them to comply with the court order by refiling documents on the docket with redactions, as well as removing the documents they’re hosting elsewhere, or they would file a complaint asking for sanctions.

“We are all very tired of your cringe messages,” replied McBride in an email last Wednesday. Since then he hasn't taken any steps to comply with the order

Tate’s legal team didn’t respond to a question about why they haven’t replied with the court order.

Families of hostages taken by Hamas being held in Gaza met with Israeli lawmakers on Monday and urged the government not to pass a law allowing the death penalty for terrorists, reported Haaretz.

“I begged you not to capitalize on our suffering now,” said Gil Dickmann, whose cousin was one of around 240 hostages taken during an assault in Israel by Hamas fighters on Oct. 7.

Dickmann begged in tears for the lawmakers to not go forward with allowing the death penalty, which he and others said could also threaten their family members who are being held hostage.

“Choose our life before the death of our enemy,” said Udi Goren, who had a cousin abducted from their home in the Nir Yitzhak kibbutz.

On X, Israel’s far-right National Security minister Ben Gvir went viral when he started shouting at the family members that they “don’t have a monopoly on pain!”

“Sickening disgrace at Knesset, where NatSecMin Itamar Ben Gvir, a smirking racial supremacist & ex terrorist (& his minions) are screaming at families of Israeli hostages,” wrote @NTarnopolsky on X.

Ben Gvir, whose authority includes control over border patrol units in the West Bank, has been convicted on at least eight charges of supporting a terrorist organization and incitement to racism, reported the New Yorker.

Gvir once used a noose to threaten an Arab lawmaker and hung a picture of Baruch Goldstein, an extreme racist settler who massacred 29 Muslim worshippers at the Cave of the Patriarchs in 1994, in his family living room. Gvir and his wife spent their first date visiting Goldstein’s grave.

Since the Oct. 7 attack, Gvir has toured the country handing out rifles to civilians in parts of the country where the religious right-wing dominates.

After the hearing, Ben Gvir posted a photo of himself hugging Dickmann, whose cousin is being held hostage.

“We love and embrace the families of the abductees and must tell the truth,” Ben Gvir wrote in Hebrew. “Just as the ground maneuver is important for increasing the pressure on Hamas to return the abductees, so is passing a death sentence for its terrorists. In the Middle East they don't blink - they hit the enemy with all the tools and bring him to his knees.”

“I asked Itamar Ben Gvir to postpone the special discussion on the death penalty law for terrorists,” Dickmann wrote in another tweet. “Itamar caressed my cheek and said ‘I'll do it anyway’.”

“Get your hands off me,” Dickmann replied to the photo of Ben Gvir holding him, according to a tweet by @BenzionSanders translating a response by Dickmann.

“Don't hug me. You hugged anyway … Don't endanger our loved ones … Still, you endangered them … All for a photo,” Dickmann continued.

“Itamar Ben Gvir - You have no limits. We all see you making a circus on our family’s blood. It's not too late. Stop,” Dickmann finished.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley took questions at a campaign stop in Hooksett, New Hampshire today, about two months away from the primary election there in January next year. One of the questions came from a young girl in the crowd who was wearing a Nikki Haley hat, and Haley seemed happy to see such a young supporter. 

While former President Donald Trump remains dominant in the polls for the primary contest, Haley has been polling in second place at 18 percent in New Hampshire, where her campaign hopes to break through.

Haley is still down almost 30 points compared to Trump though, who’s polling at 46 percent, so seeing somebody sporting a supportive cap shouldn’t have been anything but a good sign for her in Hooksett.

“I love your hat,” Haley said to the girl.

“Thank you,” the girl replied, pausing for a beat. 

“One of your guys gave it to me for free.”

Haley was mocked online for the moment, particularly by Trump supporters who view Haley, who was Trump’s UN secretary, as betraying the former president by running.

“Please clap,” joked one, a reference to a viral moment where Jeb Bush seemed to beg for any form of acknowledgment during the 2016 primary which he lost to Trump.

“Priceless honesty,” said another, picking up on the theme others also hit on that kids will tell you the truth even if nobody else will.

Others just memed the moment, which drew a loud bellow of good-natured laughter from the crowd at the event.

Haley went on to tell the girl she looked "cute in it," and then answered a question from her about her first act in office.

"Strong girls become strong women, strong women become strong leaders," Haley started, before saying she would send people into every federal agency to "clean it up" and eliminate bureaucracy.

Haley has been campaigning with New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sunnnu (R), since the beginning of the month. In August he wrote a New York Times op-ed saying he planned to “endorse and campaign for the best alternative to Mr. Trump.”

With almost every candidate challenging Trump running far behind him, maybe he’d be better off backing some random 9-year-old girl.

“Kids are so unintentionally savage,” reacted @DaWhiteWolf1776. “They must be protected at all costs.”

Over the weekend, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was pushed out as head of the company by his board, as four of the six members voted to oust the longtime face of its AI efforts and biggest success, ChatGPT. 

Since then, a string of rapid developments about the company have ricocheted across the headlines of the tech press and Twitter feeds about what comes next.

While the details about Altman’s departure aren’t clear yet (though theories have abounded), rumors have flown around about what will happen next.

First, it seemed like Altman would go to Microsoft to lead a research team there, according to an announcement from both Microsoft and Altman. But Altman also was in touch with OpenAI’s board, including Ilya Sutskever, an OpenAI cofounder and board member who is Chief Scientist for the company.

The move would have been a coup for Microsoft, which already plays an important role in AI, notably in providing the computing power for OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Microsoft invested a billion dollars in the company in 2019, and used tens of thousands of chips to build a supercomputer to handle the load from OpenAI’s projects, reported Bloomberg in March. 

Altman’s seemingly forced departure from OpenAI and move to Microsoft precipitated an employee revolt at OpenAI, with a wave of protests posted on X over the weekend, including many OpenAI employees claiming on their feeds that “OpenAI is nothing without its people.”

That followed employees reacting to a tweet by Altman announcing his departure with heart emojis and was followed up by Altman reacting to the tweets from the employees with hearts of his own.

Then today, Sutskever, who some speculated may have been behind the ousting over concerns about AI safety risk, posted his own tweet apologizing for his role in the events.

“I deeply regret my participation in the board's actions. I never intended to harm OpenAI. I love everything we've built together and I will do everything I can to reunite the company,” he wrote.

Over 90% of OpenAI’s employees, including Sutskever, have since signed a letter calling for the board to resign and Altman to come back to take charge of the company. If that didn’t happen, they'd open letter read, they’d all leave the company and potentially join Altman at Microsoft. 

And at around 2:30pm on Monday, The Verge reported that Sam Altman and his co-founder Greg Brockman, who had quickly resigned after the news of Altman’s departure came out, were willing to return to OpenAI if the remaining board members who’d voted Altman out stepped aside.

“We are all going to work together some way or other,” Altman said in a tweet, the added that "the openai/microsoft partnership makes this very doable," implying he might still be leaning towards leaving.

But who knows?

@breakingbaht, an X user who goes by the screename “The Artist Formerly Known as Eric,” attracted viral attention yesterday for an antisemitic tweet Elon Musk endorsed.

@breakingbaht wrote that Jewish communities were pushing “dialectical hatred” against whites and that he wasn’t interested in giving “the tiniest shit” about Western Jewish people “coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don't exactly like them too much.”

"You have said the actual truth,” Musk replied. 

“The ADL unjustly attacks the majority of the West, despite the majority of the West supporting the Jewish people and Israel,” Musk continued. ”This is because they cannot, by their own tenets, criticize the minority groups who are their primary threat. It is not right and needs to stop.” 

Musk didn’t clarify which minority groups he thought were a primary threat and needed to be criticized, but in the context of the discussion and the Israel-Palestine war, it’s likely a reference to Muslims and Arabs.

“You right that this does not extend to all Jewish communities, but it is also not just limited to ADL,” Musk said in another tweet.

“And, at the risk of being repetitive, I am deeply offended by ADL’s messaging and any other groups who push de facto anti-white racism or anti-Asian racism or racism of any kind,” Musk said. “I’m sick of it. Stop now.”

Musk and @breakingbaht were referencing a common idea in more radical right-wing circles that flirt with antisemitism that the ADL and other Jewish groups push “hatred” against whites by criticizing racists and antisemites, and by some of their involvement in refugee resettlement programs in the West.

Robert Bowers, for instance, who massacred eleven people at a synagogue in Pittsburgh in 2018, said he was motivated by an opposition to HIAS, a Jewish-American refugee resettlement agency, claiming they “bring invaders in that kill our people.” 

After coming under the spotlight of a slew of journalists and progressives on X, @breakingbaht clarified his message by challenging the idea that “whites can never have any form of identity group or movement again because of any violent white identity group .... Did blacks have to shut down the entire black rights movement due to the Panthers?"

“What I criticized is groups like the ADL, activists, and journalists who push anti white propaganda,” he wrote in another tweet. “Jewish people are not bad, in any ‘conspiracy,’ or any other stupid nonsense. It's simple myopia. Anyone who misrepresents my opinion has plenty of chance to see follow-ups clarifying this. They simply choose not to because labeling someone who's defended Jewish people their whole life as a 'Nazi' fits their childish worldview.”

But despite posting tweets affirming a Jewish right to self-defense, he also claimed that Jewish activists were playing a role in whipping up hatred against white people.

In one tweet, he claimed Jewish-based activism was trying to “unofficially start” a white holocaust in the U.S. “to the best of their ability.”

“Every major institution in the West has been manufacturing anti-white hit pieces for years,” he claimed in another tweet.

“I support Jewish people's right to self defense literally and ideologically,” he said in another tweet, “But I also, as a white person, have to acknowledge that it's been depressing to see Jewish communities not take a stronger stance against anti white dialecticism that is basically just repurposed antisemitism.”

His basic line is that he isn’t a racist, but is actually fighting against racism by pointing out Jewish efforts in the United States to attack white people, as well as highlighting his belief that “hordes” of minorities are actually the biggest threat to Jews in the country.

The thinking, which is common on both the mainstream and fringe conservative movement in the United States, is at least partially inspired by a former Reagan administration member turned internet radio polemicist who went by the name Robert Whitaker. Whitaker, whose real name was revealed to be Tim Murdock by an SPLC investigation, pushed a document called the “Mantra” which popularized the phrase “anti-racist is code word for anti-white.”

That phrase flipped the idea of anti-racism, a movement that seeks to address racial hatred, on its head, claiming it was in fact a sinister movement aimed at undermining white people by making them feel guilty for “natural” feelings like racism.

Elements of the theory are now repeated by right-wingers like influential conservative pundit Tucker Carlson and Turning Point USA president Charlie Kirk.

Musk has also recently tweeted in favor of Israel and against critics of the state.

“‘[D]ecolonization” necessarily implies a Jewish genocide, thus it is unacceptable to any reasonable person,” he wrote in response to one tweet calling decolonization “the woke version of jihad.”

Musk's comments, though, provoked a tacit acknowledgment and pushback from X CEO Linda Yaccarino in a tweet.

"X’s point of view has always been very clear that discrimination by everyone should STOP across the board -- I think that's something we can and should all agree on," Yaccarino wrote without mentioning Musk. "When it comes to this platform -- X has also been extremely clear about our efforts to combat antisemitism and discrimination. There's no place for it anywhere in the world -- it's ugly and wrong. Full stop."

The post X CEO says ‘everyone should STOP’ being racist and antisemitic on the site after Musk endorses anti-Jewish post appeared first on The Daily Dot.

A shocking House ethics report into Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) was released today, detailing a staggering level of alleged self-enrichment from campaign funds, as well as a host of ethical irregularities. 

According to the report, Santos used campaign money to pay off his credit cards, subscribe to OnlyFans accounts, and shop at Hermes.

In a tweet posted on X, Santos denounced the ethics report as a “disgusting politicized smear that shows the depths of how low our federal government has sunk.”

“Everyone who participated in this grave miscarriage of Justice should be ashamed of themselves,” Santos wrote, before calling for the states to rise up in a new constitutional convention.

However, the report must have had some impact, as Santos’ post also pointed to his next step: not running for reelection in 2024.

“My family deserves better than to be under the gun from the press all the time,” he wrote, while promising to finish his term and “maintain my commitment to my conservative values in my remaining time in Congress.”

That prompted a troll from the other side of the aisle, from the representative who first went after Santos. 

“George Santos, who illegally spent campaign funds on porn sites and Botox, has announced he is no longer seeking re-election,” reacted Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) the Bronx congressman who filed an ethics complaint against Santos in January. “I will be the sole surviving Jew-ish gay Latino Congressman from New York.”

Santos, who was elected in 2020, took office as the first openly gay Afro-Latino congressman. Santos is a rare openly gay Republican, the first one to win office campaigning openly. (Jim Kolbe, an Arizona representative, came out in 1996 after already serving in office for a decade).

Santos, who made headlines for years due to his frequent fabrications and fabulism about his background, also once claimed he was “Jew-ish” as a “joke” because, while he was raised Catholic, he comes from a Jewish background.

“I believe we are all Jewish, at the end—because Jesus Christ is Jewish,” Santos said in 2020. “And if you believe in Jesus, and we’re all brothers in Christ, I mean.”

Torres isn’t Jewish but has been a fervent advocate for Israel online and in office. Since the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas, Torres has frequently accused critics of Israel’s government of antisemitism.

Torres spoke at the March for Israel protest in D.C. on Tuesday against calls for a ceasefire in the current conflict, which has killed nearly 13,000 people in Israel and Gaza, with the bulk of those deaths (around 11,300) coming from Palestine.

“Not everyone calling for a ceasefire wants Israel to cease to exist. But everyone who wants Israel to cease to exist is calling for a ceasefire,” Torres said at the march. “Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Islamic Republic of Iran are all calling for a ceasefire.”

Torres’ “Jew-ish” remark was a clear tongue-in-cheek joke that was appreciated by some people.

“On behalf of the Jewish community, mazel tov!” wrote one.

But others didn’t find it as funny.

“You are not Jewish you weirdo,” wrote another.

An opinion published by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit yesterday overturned a 2022 ruling by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) that let employees in a Tesla branch wear United Auto Workers (UAW) T-shirts as part of an organizing drive by the union in Tesla’s General Assembly plant in Fremont, California.

After UAW filed a successful unfair labor practice charge against the Tesla when it threatened to send employees home for wearing the union T-shirts, the company appealed the decision to the Fifth Circuit, which has jurisdiction over Louisiana, Texas, and Mississippi. 

The new ruling claimed that the 2022 NLRB ruling violated Tesla’s dress code policy and would make all company dress code policies presumptively unlawful.

That 2022 ruling held that “wearing union insignia, whether a button or a T-shirt, is a critical form of protected communication.”

They found that Tesla would allow employees to wear their own black T-shirts while on the job if approved by supervisors, but not the union shirts, and were therefore unlawful.

The new ruling by the Fifth Circuit contradicted that idea. Employees who work at Tesla’s plant, known as the GA for short, are given four black shirts and a sweater with the Tesla logo when they start working there, which is called “Team wear.”

According to the new ruling, when Tesla employees started wearing the black cotton UAW shirts in Spring 2017, Tesla tolerated it at first.

After a few months though, the company started enforcing its production standards to the letter. That meant that all clothes were required to be “mutilation free,” meaning without anything which would cause “abrasions, buffs, chips, cuts, dents, dings, or scratches to the inside or outside of a vehicle." Suddenly, the union t-shirts were no longer allowed.

Critics say leaning on production safety conditions were just a pretext to crack down on unionization efforts.

“Tesla adopted its uniform policy in 2017 to help kill an organizing campaign by the UAW,” reported More Perfect Union, a non-profit left-wing newsroom. “Company leaders also illegally interrogated, disciplined and fired workers who wanted to unionize, federal investigators found.”

But the Fifth Circuit denied that the shirt ban had any negative effect on the organizing campaign, saying that the company still allowed workers to wear UAW and union organization stickers on its company-issued uniforms.

UAW has had its sights set on Tesla’s Fremont plant for years.

“We can beat anybody,” union president Shawn Fain said recently. “I believe it’s doable.”

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has railed against unionization efforts at the plant though, calling them “morally outrageous” and going after an employee, Jose Moran, who tried to organize the plant in 2017, reported Jacobin.

In 2019, a California judge ruled that Tesla and Musk had violated U.S. labor laws for sabotaging a unionization effort at the plant.

One tweet from Musk in 2018 said that unionization would have employees “giv[ing] up stock options for nothing.” The judge ruled that he’d have to delete that tweet, but the decision has been appealed, and the tweet is still up.

Republican Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) told FBI director Christopher Wray that his “day is coming” after Wray denied any role by the FBI in inciting the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot.

Higgins claimed at a Homeland Security Committee meeting on Wednesday that “our government’s highest levels of law enforcement coordinate organized campaigns of weaponized oppression, harassment, investigation, arrest and prosecution and imprisonment of free Americans. That … is the primary threat our homeland indeed faces today.”

“If you are asking whether the violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6 was part of some operation orchestrated by the FBI’s sources and or agents, the answer is an emphatic 'no,'” Wray, a former President Donald Trump appointee, said in response to questioning from Higgins.

“Do you know what a ghost vehicle is?” Higgins asked next. “You’re the director of the FBI, you certainly should. Do you know what a ghost bus is?”

When Wray said he didn’t, Higgins, a former police officer, explained that it was a common term in law enforcement.

“It’s a vehicle that’s used for secret purposes. It’s painted over,” Higgins said, pointing to a photo of buses he claimed were the first to arrive at Union Station in Washington D.C. on Jan. 6.

“These buses are nefarious in nature, and were filled with FBI informants dressed as Trump supporters deployed into our capitol on Jan. 6, and your day is coming Mr. Wray,” Higgins finished.

The FBI infiltration claim is at odds with how most MAGA influencers responded before and immediately after the riot broke out. 

On since-deleted social media posts, attendees and supporters cheered the invasion of the Capitol. Then, as backlash spread, they began blame it on antifa infiltrators and a government-orchestrated conspiracy.

The narrative of antifa infiltration was whipped up in viral posts across Twitter, Gab, TheDonald, Telegram, and other social media.

“Although large sections of this content have been deleted during the post-Jan. 6 purge by social media companies, much of it remains as snippets of threads—the rest can often be found in the archived internet,” reported The Odd Post.

The Odd Post also traced the claim about so-called ghost buses to a video where a man with a face tattoo and a denim jacket said that state troopers escorted unmarked buses carrying antifa members “front and center” to the riot. 

The claim of "ghost buses" appears to have metastasized in the right wing, going from antifa infiltrators hoping to frame Trump supporters to an out-and-out move by the FBI to bring the buses full of people into D.C. to cause chaos.

Higgins, however, did not provide much in the way of evidence that the FBI was behind the buses in his testimony.
