Warning: ICE may be present at FIFA World Cup matches in the U.S. when the international tournament gets underway next month.

In the last couple weeks, we've seen a remarkable number of food recalls due to salmonella contamination. So many, in fact, that it's worth our time to take a deeper look at some of the reasons why. 1/10

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

HAHAHA

1/ New @Nature! We study how powerful institutions shape the information environment for LLMs. Commercial LLM training is opaque, so we trace a path from state-coordinated media -> training data -> model responses.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

reminder that one of the most promising emerging treatments for glioblastoma, the most lethal of all cancers, is customized MRNA vaccines, which HHS under Trump now refuses to fund: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

A win! Florida will shutter “Alligator Alcatraz” migrant detention facility.

Look, he's not even pretending at this point. He DOES NOT CARE if you can't afford anything or get by because of his war. And this war wasn't even about the threat of Iran having nuclear weapons because there was NO imminent threat.

This would constitute one of the most brazen, most appalling acts of corruption in U.S. history. I know we’re numb to all of this but this is a seven-alarm fire. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

Reminder that Cleveland Clinic, Mount Sinai, Nebraska Med, Tampa General and more US orgs also use Palantir. #medsky, do you know if your org does? They may be considering it, considering contacting your admin if this matters to you!

Got my booster two weeks before my trip to the Bay Area (where my office is)

Just out here writing midterm ads for Democrats

I would have at least studied up since these hearings are planned in advance

Thanks to @maddow.bsky.social for covering my report on the decimation of the voting section of the Justice Department and the dangerously inexperienced lawyers who now work at what was once call the "crown jewel" of the DOJ You can read it here: www.wired.com/story/the-ju...

look, you absolutely should not deface election signs. this is a crime

Yep. This is the best way to understand the events of the past couple weeks. They have to dispense with the artifice of principle, because the risks of Dems winning and coming to power bent on accountability are simply too great. www.offmessage.net/p/republican...

A Shark Tank investor just got a three-person county commission to approve one of the largest data centers ever built and the people who actually live there found out about it the same way you did.

Maybe this is just the aspect of AI which hits closest to home for me, but I continue to believe that what it is doing to our reading and writing brains is the single most pernicious part of the whole thing. DO NOT LET ROBOTS WRITE FOR YOU www.404media.co/your-ai-use-...

In the @bostonglobe.com's Salute to Nurses, @danafarber.bsky.social nurse Brianna O’Brien notes how AI cannot replace human connection. “When patients trust their nurses, they might reveal a new symptom or ask hard questions. And that honesty can drive better outcomes,” O’Brien said. bit.ly/3PayMJO

As someone who has cared for children with cancer in their last days, surrounded by those they love, relishing final moments together, I cannot even put into words the terribleness that those responsible for this deserve.

Yeah because the kids are definitely going around and wreaking havoc 🤬

The U.S. Forest Service isn’t managing forests anymore. It’s running a timber operation and poisoning everything else to do it. A yearlong investigation by Mother Jones found that the Forest Service and private logging companies are systematically spraying thousands of

Babies were found with dead brain tissue similar to what follows cancer and the kind of bleeding seen after a stroke. Their autopsies all came to the same conclusion: Their deaths could have been prevented with a long-standard vitamin shot. By @deldeib.bsky.social

So Texas, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, and Tennessee can redraw districts without a referendum and that stands, but when Virginia lets voters decide directly at the ballot box, it gets overturned?

We didn’t realize how much controversy this one would stir up.

sorry but I’m not taking advice on how to beat death from a Kennedy

🤦‍♀️

This has to be the funniest question AND response I've ever seen in a poll. Less than half of Republican men think they could beat Trump in a fight. What a bunch of pathetic losers.

This was a hard story to report. Newborns who don’t get a vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop a condition where they bleed uncontrollably. But more and more families are declining the shot. And babies are dying. www.propublica.org/article/more...

Sea water batteries offer a potential platform for several applications. This Perspective explores the technology and the advances required to increase their scale.

I know I’ve already reposted but…Trump I demolished a global refugee resettlement infrastructure in the name of vetting. Biden, somehow, genuinely rebuilt it. Trump II hasn’t just redemolished it but made a farce of it, by building an active recruitment pipeline which is the opposite of vetting.

Ugh
