Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.

This Week in Mets: “But there’s no denying how frustrating it is for the fan base to hear the same the-talent-is-here rhetoric one year after the Mets cited it endlessly while giving away a postseason spot over the final months of the season to the 83-win Reds.”

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about tribal sovereignty, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I authored the majority opinion in McGirt v. Oklahoma, and I’ve been involved in numerous statutory interpretations of the Major Crimes Act, and I have done over 300 land acknowledgements.

Headline from the Icelandic news: “United States Does Not Seem to Know What They Are Doing”

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

Last year, the U.S. was the only major destination to see a decline in international travelers. With increased scrutiny at the border, ICE violence and unpredictable policies, the new year isn’t looking better. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/t...

NEW: ProPublica went inside the detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of what comes next.

The largest federal prison in the nation is Fort Dix, which has a rated capacity of 4,600 people. The largest of these warehouse camps may hold more than twice that number of people. The federal government hasn't operated a prison camp inside the United States that large since Japanese Internment.

NEW: Records reviewed by WIRED show DHS’s facial recognition app (Mobile Fortify) isn’t designed to actually "verify" identity—despite DHS claims and its agents relying on its matches to support probable cause in the field.

BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.

For this post to be about the United States and not Russia shows that there has been an absolute diplomatic revolution.

Literal Immaculate Reception

This guy gets it

The first US sale of Venezuelan crude was to a company whose senior oil trader donated to Donald Trump’s re-election campaign and attended a White House meeting with the president last week. www.ft.com/content/da74...

It’s been about 90 minutes since the news broke, and we already have all this information about Kyle Tucker’s business. We should have this same level of information about every team’s paper, too. It would change everything.

Holy shit. Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

“Huge internal concern” among CBS staff over that “internal bleeding” story. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

SCOOP w/ @dell.bsky.social: the FBI is warning law enforcement to look out for people impersonating ICE to facilitate other criminal acts Plus, some odd details I got via FOIA about a March incident in which an aspiring prank YouTuber allegedly impersonated ICE: www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

Scoop: Status has obtained the termination letter The Washington Post sent to @karenattiah.bsky.social, in which it informed her that she was being fired for social media posts "about white men." Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/karen-atti...

The Israeli military launched the early stages of a ground offensive to seize Gaza City overnight, an Israeli military official said Tuesday, as Palestinians in the enclave said they faced a night of relentless heavy bombardment.

"The visible health problems of the oldest president in American history barely registered in mainstream coverage," writes @passantino.bsky.social for Status_. But @nytimes.com 🐔, @wsj.com 🐔🐔 & other major outlets published dozens of stories about Biden's physical fitness while he was in office.

Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one child per hour during Israel's war in Gaza. “A whole classroom of children killed every day for nearly two years,” UNICEF’s executive director said. Here are some of their stories: wapo.st/3UCiAjn

Exclusive: The Justice Department told President Trump in May that his name is among many in the Epstein files.

I can’t believe the media covered up the fact that a clear mental incompetent was running the government while out of his mind on drugs, despite it being widely known in DC circles, to preserve their access to the White House. There should be huge recriminations for this.

At least 27 are dead in Missouri in Kentucky after severe weather alerts were delayed overnight because of DOGE cuts. www.mesoscalenews.com/p/tornado-wa...

Oh I saw it. Looked like he'd just fallen while water-skiing.

@davidjroth.bsky.social you’re almost certainly watching something better but I feel like you should know Dedniel Núñez just pitched a real good Wet Guy inning

This is the last thing Cardinal Bob saw before he went into the conclave and they made him pope lol

This is driving me crazy too. Not long ago 10% universal tariffs were considered the worst-case scenario, something even Trump wasn’t crazy enough to impose. Now have those PLUS 125% tariffs on China. Together, these raise raise inflation by about as much as original “Liberation Day” tariffs did!

Keep sharing this because it is vital to understanding this moment. The timing of his entry into politics after this trip, the one position he’s held firm on (at odds with past presidents of both political parties) and the unraveling of the post-WW II world order. www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them. There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

1. The DOGE website is garbage. The claimed savings has no relationship to the data provided. And the data that is provided grossly inflates the savings from each canceled contract. So we just launched our own site — the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker — that breaks everything down.

My single favourite piece of polling of the last 2 years

Mahmoud Khalil, a graduate student who was a leader in talks between demonstrators and Columbia University officials last spring, was arrested by Department of Homeland Security agents Saturday night despite having a green card, his attorney said.

You can watch Christiane Amanpour realize in real time on CNN just how seriously Canadians are taking the annexation threats.

hey, can one of the reasonable centrist writers condescendingly explain to me again that it is overblown to call these people segregationists?

Scoop: Scott Jennings is in the final stages of negotiating a new contract with CNN—and he's set for a big pay raise. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/scott-jenn...

When the Trump administration abruptly terminated ten thousand foreign assistance contracts and grants last week, it ended funding for programs around the world – including those that had been granted waivers by the State Department to continue their lifesaving work.

A top USAID official was put on leave after a scathing memo detailing Trump political appointees' moves which blocked life-saving humanitarian work, which will “no doubt result in preventable death, destabilization, and threats to national security on a massive scale” www.cnn.com/2025/03/03/p...

this appears to be the new regime oped page at wapo. WOW. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
