Despite knowing Clint Massie was abusing girls for years, church leaders never reported him to police. It felt like “a group of people who are not just trying to protect someone — but something,” the DA said. “They have enabled something awful here.” (Published Nov. 2025 with @startribune.com)

The director of the Texas summer camp where 27 campers and counselors were killed by a devastating flood in 2025 said he did not see early federal and state warnings sent the day before the storm hit and that staff had no meetings about the pending danger.

Saudi Arabia does NOT want this war to end until there's a regime change. The US sends Jared Kushner, who is on the Saudi's payroll to the tune of many, many millions (!), to negotiate with Iran. These people are NOT serious about peace. 😡

The Constitution and a court order both say that the Everglades detention facility must allow people access to their attorneys. Instead of complying, guards are cutting off people’s phone access and beating people who speak up.

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

For more than a week, Amazon has managed to keep a death at its Troutdale, Oregon, facility out of public view. Workers I spoke to are pissed.

Breaking: ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota county investigates ICE arrest of Hmong American man as a potential case of kidnapping and false imprisonment.

Last year, Congress approved $75 billion for immigration enforcement. That money has allowed ICE to operate nearly unfettered during a record-long shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security.

CARDINAL CUPICH: “We’re dehumanizing victims of war by turning the suffering of people and the killing of children and our own soldiers into entertainment. It’s sickening.” No wonder Trump lashed out at the Pope today.

Super Typhoon Sinlaku is now peaking at Category 5 strength and is likely to make landfall on Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands in about 36 hours. The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands is a US territory. They're going to need all the help they can get after this storm.

Among the many awful aspects of Orban’s government and the many good things about its defeat: Its targeting of universities to push right-wing politics and policy was the Heritage Foundation’s explicit model here. And for JD Vance when he said “the professors are the enemy.”

With 90% reporting, Tisza is leading by 16 percentage points and projected to win 138 of 199 seats — above the 2/3rds majority. Crushing defeat for Orban.

(AP) — Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán conceded defeat on Sunday after what he called a ″painful″ election result, ending 16 years in power for a powerful figure in the far-right movement allied with U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. apnews.com/article/hung...

With printed media, you can just store it in a warehouse. When some company says "we never said that," you can go to the archives, fetch a newspaper, and that ends the argument. When the companies on their websites change stories, there is no archive outside the Internet Archive.

This picture should haunt Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat and the National Security Advisor, who is complicit in this disastrous war (cc @dandrezner.bsky.social). The NYT reporting shows he had reservations and did nothing to try to stop it. And gutted the State Dept.

Orban was the first in the modern populist wave, the prototype, and he operates now as a crucial international lynchpin. There's a reason the White House and the Kremlin are so desperate for him to win.

Prophetic 2020 cartoon by Rob Rogers. Rogers was sacked by the vile Trumper owner of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in 2018. Since then, his work since has never been better. The idiot owner ran the P-G into the ditch. It's bankrupt and will cease to be on May 3, after 240 years.
