And we’re off!

My coauthor Jay Falk's postdoctoral fellowship was terminated by the Trump administration for documenting the hummingbird example in this paper.

His most famous quote is still on Twitter x.com/lindseygraha...

it remains fascinating that you keep hearing from manosphere types that women need to stop going to college in order to get married doesn't seem like that's the issue 🤔

WATCH: When her son Chris was 7, Mary McGonigle-Martin gave him raw milk, as it promised to treat allergies and digestive problems. A month later, he fell gravely ill. Now 27, he’s still dealing with the effects of kidney damage and other health issues. This is their story.

Force a response by announcing that you're appointing a replacement Monday. Then do it. They'll challenge in court & the whole thing will have to come out. They will have to prove that he's not only alive but functioning mentally - will all be over before the 8/3 deadline they're holding out for.

It's official. My provision banning private equity from mass purchasing homes is now law. This is an INCREDIBLE victory for Georgia and the country.

what they learned from minneapolis was not “don’t do this again” but “keep it quiet next time”

political candidates should be tripping over themselves to run on this message (and we know why they aren't)

these are pretty fucking serious allegations, holy shit, lol

It would have been nice if @bloomberg.com had acknowledged I’ve been reporting on these planes for months — like they did for WaPo, my former employer, in another part of the story — but I guess I’m just glad Congress might acknowledge their existence now? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

"The Department of Motor Vehicles requires Taco Bell outlets to have fresh sour cream." That makes as much sense as this.

I’ll share it, because I think this rampant anti-Muslim and anti-Arab bigotry is not only accepted by a dying wing of our party but being used to win primaries (see Abdul). It’s on us to see it, shun it, and protect our coalition.

The Maine secretary of state says Graham Platner *has* formally withdrawn from the Senate race. This is ahead of the Monday deadline, and so the Democratic party will be authorized to replace him, by July 27th.

KEY: all three witnesses are being detained apart, and their story is consistent. They say that there were agents along the side of the vehicle but none in front. When you add the videos showing a lack of evidence of damage to the front despite ICE's ramming claim, ICE's story is falling apart.

These kinds of laws have an invisible ripple effect across the country. A good number of corporations will just change their policies instead of making a NYC-specific protocol. A lot of the consumer protections we have started in one state or big city.

Guys I can’t keep doing this independently. I need a job. If you know of a place—advocacy, OSINT org, think tank, left media, etc—where I could take this work in-house, pls let me know. I admire the folks making independent work for them, but I am collapsing under the weight and the lack of impact.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

starting to detect a pattern here

In case you missed it, Utrecht, Netherlands has begun building the largest Dutch “car-free” neighbourhood. With: 12K people 6K homes 1.8K social rental homes 1.5K mid-range rental & affordable owner-occupied homes 21K bike parking spaces 250 shared cars 2 parcel hubs Parking structures on the edge.

I was back in Immigration Court this week, this time for the hearing of a sweet little three-year-old girl, I’ll call her Estrella. She’s been in federal custody, separated from her family for more than 10 months – even though her mom lives here in NYC. The cruelty is truly mind-boggling. 🧵

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

NEW: He was picking up a work crew to take them to construction site at 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning. ICE showed up. And now this small business owner, the father of three American citizens, is dead. www.thebulwark.com/p/he-lived-h...

"she asked for it"

absolutely insane story, and yeah, just looking at this chart... with the exception of maybe two people, this entire class was cheating like motherfuckers

I wish just one NATO leader (or all of them) would say, "This is unacceptable. The US president has lost his mind. America come get your boy. He's broken and needs to be under a doctor's care back home." I wish someone would tell the damn truth about what's happening.

Trump: "We had 11 missiles shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan"

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is asking for an update from Sen. Mitch McConnell: “As Governor, I request that you fully update Kentuckians regarding the current status of your health.”

this how a true American celebrates the fourth, with his trophy mistress in the former mother country

"Aussie boys are on a bender! Donald Trump is a sex offender!"

I’m sorry, but this video of Belgium’s squad mocking Trump in their locker room after demolishing the USMNT is hilarious.

it's not a secret that @marisakabas.bsky.social is talented — but this in particular captures something important about the misogyny on the left. www.thehandbasket.co/p/graham-pla...

Private equity is buying America's hospitals and nursing homes. The playbook: pile on debt, sell the building, cut staff. The result, one landmark study found: patient deaths up about 11%. #news #information #privateequity

New AP polling of Jewish Americans— Mamdani (+5): 44% Favorable; 39% Unfavorable Netanyahu (-27): 32% Favorable; 59% Unfavorable Trump (-42): 29% Favorable; 71% Unfavorable Where's all the breathless wall-to-wall coverage on Netanyahu & Trump making Jewish people feel unsafe?

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

Live your life so that at the end, when you are hospitalized and people are debating if you are dead, very nearly dead, or brain-dead but still breathing restfully, the matter isn't an endless source of internet comedy, contempt-filled criticism and weekend-at-Bernie jokes.

We could have this all the time, routinely, but in the end we always prioritize cars.

I double dog dare u, Maine

Belgium’s overwhelming defeat makes it hard for Trump to lie the match was rigged. A lesson for us midterm voters.

One thing about a bartender: they can spot a Type

let this be a lesson to deal with your feelings of gender anxiety and masculine inadequacy with a hobby or therapy or something and not a high stakes senate election

This is a really moving and thoughtful interview

people need to go to jail over this, its the only thing the democratic party should be saying right now. all of them, in unison, no matter the question or topic, needs to be saying “insider trading is against the law”

This alone should be a decade-defining political scandal resulting in prison sentences.

Trump is watching the Fox News feed of himself watching Fox News

100 years ago.

lol Threads banned the new Infowars. Silenced for TRUTH. Everybody go yell at them.

It’s really hard to overstate how certain the various institutional actors were that Trump was cooked in the immediate aftermath of Jan. 6. It informed so many bad choices, like Pelosi not moving to impeach day-of. Everyone trying to make everyone else do anything controversial.
