SLOW LEARNER/BOTTOM STORY OF THE DAY: Mark Cuban is moving on from Kamala Harris.

When asked at POLITICO’s Health Care Summit Tuesday whether he wants to see the former vice president run for the nation’s top job again, Cuban quickly responded, “No.”

“Don’t remember, don’t care,” he said when asked to recall her health care message during her short-lived 2024 presidential campaign. “Those days are gone.”

Harris signaled earlier this month she’s seriously considering entering the 2028 Democratic field.

“Listen, I might, I might. I’m thinking about it,” Harris told the Rev. Al Sharpton at the National Action Network convention in New York.

Cuban, a Harris surrogate during the last campaign cycle, said he’s not trying to promote a specific candidate now.

“I’m trying to change how fucked up this health care industry is right now, and that’s all I care about,” he said.

Cuban said he’d be open to supporting a Republican who shared his reform goals and praised President Donald Trump and his health department’s efforts to lower drug prices and speed drug trials.

“They’re trying to make it easier for folks like us,” he said.

Us?

BIG HAUL: Two Armed Robbers Steal $1.8 Million From Brinks Armored Truck in Philadelphia.

GOOD LORD: COVID scientist accused of using ChatGPT in alleged poisoning plot against rival.

Investigators said 41-year-old Makoto Kuroda felt slighted after his friend received a promotion, and Kuroda felt he started treating him differently. It ended with Kuroda allegedly tainting his former friend’s water bottle with numerous toxic chemicals and handing his co-worker a note that said “I did it” in Japanese.

Kuroda admitted to using chloroform, paraformaldehyde (PFA), and Trizol to poison his co-worker’s water bottle and shoes, according to a Dane County Court criminal complaint.

A research scientist for IRI, Kuroda had published multiple papers on the Ebola virus and SARS CoV-2, better known as COVID-19. In his position, he handled and had access to a wide variety of toxic chemicals.

In the days leading up to his alleged contamination, Kuroda reportedly used ChatGPT to “find the harmful amount of PFA and Trizol for both humans and animals,” according to a police report cited in the complaint.

The alleged victim, identified in the document only as TM, was once a close friend to Kuroda, but their relationship had deteriorated.

From there, the story gets weird.

CORN, POPPED: Southern Poverty Law Center says it faces a Justice Department criminal probe over paid informants.

“Although we don’t know all the details, the focus appears to be on the SPLC’s prior use of paid confidential informants to gather credible intelligence on extremely violent groups,” CEO Bryan Fair said in a statement.

The Justice Department had no immediate comment.

The Southern Poverty Law Center previously paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups and gather information on their activities, often sharing it with local and federal law enforcement, Fair said. It was used to monitor threats of violence, he said, adding that the program was kept quiet to protect the safety of informants.

“When we began working with informants, we were living in the shadow of the height of the Civil Rights Movement, which had seen bombings at churches, state-sponsored violence against demonstrators, and the murders of activists that went unanswered by the justice system,” Fair said. “There is no question that what we learned from informants saved lives.”

That was a long time ago. This is the SPLC’s present: However Bad You Think Biden’s DOJ Was, New Documents Show It Was Even Worse. “Imagine a leftist group with ties to Antifa puts conservatives and Christians on a “hate map” with defunct chapters of the Ku Klux Klan, and that map inspires an act of terrorism and would go on to contribute to the demonization of Turning Point USA ahead of the Charlie Kirk assassination.”

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Two More Years of ‘Scorned John Fetterman’ Should Be Fun to Watch. “We know that the Democrats — or any lefitsts for that matter — don’t handle rejection well. This probably won’t end well for Fetterman. I’ve always maintained that the easiest time to oust an incumbent United States Senator is after his or her first term. After that, too many favors have been doled out. The last Democrat in the Senate to hover anywhere near the center was Kyrsten Sinema. She became so toxic to the Dems that she registered as an independent before becoming a one-term casualty. There are already signs that Fetterman may soon be getting the Sinema treatment.”

THE DEEP STATE: Secret ‘Witness 2’ was anti-Trump intel officer pushing Russiagate, Ukraine impeachment.

Since he left the National Security Agency and the National Security Council, Gavin Wilde has hit the podcast circuit and penned articles suggesting Donald Trump parroted Russian propaganda while reportedly lamenting “MAGA conspiracy theories.”

Just the News has confirmed that Wilde is the unnamed “Witness 2“ identified in the Ukraine impeachment documents released this month by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The 2019 claims by Witness 2 were critical in helping the intelligence community watchdog push the whistleblower’s complaint forward, and his Russiagate-linked biases were concealed from House investigators during the impeachment saga.

Wilde isn’t just your average spy agency retiree with an anti-Trump chip on his shoulder. He played critical roles inside the intelligence community in furthering the now discredited claims that Vladimir Putin helped Trump win the 2016 election, and he pushed claims that Trump later improperly tried to extort Ukraine’s president to investigate the Biden family.

After leaving government in 2021, Wilde wrote for the Council on Foreign Relations in 2022 that “during the 2016 and 2020 elections, Ukraine was a key theme of Russia’s interference activities. Numerous Kremlin operatives had ties to Ukraine or to past Russian interference in Ukraine […] Members of Congress and President Trump himself parroted these narratives.”

Read the whole thing.

Almost every penny came from out of state.
They broke laws.

They ran tv spots for two months, nonstop.
