A hat trick of Kavanaugh stops www.propublica.org/article/immi...

In this clip, Kash Patel says the grand jury heard evidence that Comey deleted the '8647' post and apologized. Neither fact appears in the indictment. Hmm. Did the FBI director just disclose evidence presented before a grand jury?

"What is especially galling, some victims said, is that their compensation for years of fighting for justice will boil down to a day’s pay for a Purdue attorney like Huebner, who charges $2,935 an hour." www.propublica.org/article/purd...

To be clear eyed about this: It's not just that this is the most anti-science crew ever to head the federal government. It's that they view both the people who produce science & those who think it ought to guide & constrain policy as their *enemies*, so destroying US science is a blow against them

When a white state trooper killed a black man in a traffic stop, law enforcement reacted: comfort and aid the shooter, harass and investigate the shooting victim. The only people detained? The parents entering the ER to see their dying son www.themarshallproject.org/2026/04/22/n...

In 2020 Alysia Santo & I wrote how private prison company Management & Training Corp. was ripping off Mississippi taxpayers by billing for ghost workers, making more profits MTC and making prisons more dangerous for staff and prisoners. Now the state auditor is demanding MTC pay back $7.4 million.

Especially considering that ProPublica is a non-profit that was founded to create a professional home for investigative journalists.

I took a lunch break with my @marshallprojectguild.org colleagues in support of @propublicaguild.org's strike. No comrades in Durham, so I took my lunch at the house where Pauli Murray grew up. She would support the guild's action! @paulimurraycenter.bsky.social

$20 at CVS. Pay in cash and make calls (to a reporter, say) that are totally untraceable. You can also take photos of documents or emails and text them. Just make sure to buy your minutes in cash too.

In case you think losing 95k scientists in a year is normal, it's decidedly not.

I cannot adequately explain how fucked up the World Cup situation is wihen the president of a host nation *threatens the safety* of one of the participants (Iran). The USA should be removed as a host nation and if it's not, the games shoud be boycotted and ANYONE WITH A MORAL CENTER should see that.

Those of us in NC who've been represented by Thom Tillis for years wish we'd seen this version earlier. Perfect example of how not running for re-election freed him. Also a perfect example of how cowed he was for all the years before.

The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:

nysfocus.com/2026/02/17/h... Gov. Hochul wants to eliminate all state funding for the Correctional Association of New York - $3 million is six one-hundreths of one person of the prison budget

This could be a big step in Mississippi following great work by @calebbedillion.bsky.social @dajaehenry.com www.themarshallproject.org/2026/02/04/m...

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Local reporting at its best www.themarshallproject.org/2025/11/25/l...

The @washingtonpost.com has changed its slogan again, from “Democracy Dies In Darkness” to “Know Your Place.”

Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, and education instead of lining the pockets of the military industrial complex?

I'm horrified to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot at an event in Utah. Democratic societies will always have political disagreements, but we must never allow America to become a country that confronts those disagreements with violence. Mark and I are praying for Charlie's recovery.

This isn’t bad luck or coincidence or predestination. This is our choice. To live in a nation where our leaders teach hate, and military style guns are everywhere.

One of these things is not like the other #washingtondc

To say that seeing these kinds of concerns coming from journalists at **The Marshall Project** of all places is dispiriting to say the least. But like…especially weird move to violate Weingarten given, uh, the name of the organization? Is one of the justices who joined the Weingarten opinion??

See the man circled here? That's E.J. Antoni, Trump's Bureau of Labor Statistics nominee, walking through a crowd of Capitol rioters. #ICYMI, we've got an archive of 500+ Parler videos taken during Jan. 6. You can spot Antoni starting at around 1:41 here: projects.propublica.org/parler-capit...

Colorado became the first state to mandate polling places inside all county jails—and turnout among voters who are detained in jails skyrocketed. It grew by roughly 900% between 2022 and 2024. boltsmag.org/jail-vo...

Underrated tweet.

Despite evidence of his innocence, Texas has set an execution date for Robert Roberson - Oct. 16. If this goes through Texas will be the first state to execute someone based on a shaken baby diagnosis

Hospitals routinely report parents to child welfare authorities based on error-prone drug tests. Some hospitals are changing policy as a result.

“Palantir’s selection as a chief vendor for the project was driven by Elon Musk’s DOGE, according to government officials. At least 3 DOGE members formerly worked at Palantir, while 2 others had worked at companies funded by Peter Thiel, investor/founder of Palantir.” Is this “draining the swamp?”

So many layers of corruption.

Super helpful breakdown of the new EO on policing 👇🏻

Griffin’s challenges have now included 1) false accusations (aka lying), 2) racism (targeting disproportionately Black counties) and 3) utter contempt for democracy. Any one of those three mark him as unfit to be a judge.

Last night on ABC News, Trump doubled down on his lie that Abrego Garcia has the letters "MS-13" on his hand. Two weeks ago I noted Trump was making this claim but corporate media instead said Trump was saying the tattoo was "code" for MS-13. Nope. I was right, they were gaslighting us!

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

This is what ardent NYT _conservative_ Bret Stephens is saying. Anyone with any sense knows that today was an absolute disaster and disgrace for the United States.

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

🚨 I know it’s been a long day, and I know you are all tired and numb, but unfortunately we can’t look away. NPR and PBS, media critical of the 🍊💩 and J6ers, are now under investigation by the FCC under the 🍊💩’s order. This is straight from the fascist play book everyone.

mazeltov to @keribla.bsky.social on getting an oscar nomination for the super powerful and nuanced #IamReadyWarden
