Say "weak on crime" again. I dare you.

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

"The actual public endorsement of these acts is ... is an embrace of those atrocities — past, present and future — that turns the country into a rogue state and a villain on the world stage." 🔥 from @paulblumenthal.bsky.social

I don’t think people who aren’t regularly covering the reproductive rights beat realize how common it is for women to be incarcerated for miscarriages.

NEW: Even the strongest anti-abortion advocates don't want to punish people for pregnancy loss. Police and prosecutors are finding ways to do it anyway. Here's what happens when miscarriage is recast as murder:

NEW: Israel is escalating a war in Lebanon that's killed 10 kids/day — with Trump's blessing, US officials seeing no offramp & fears of Gaza-style devastation Far less humanitarian capacity than 2024 & little sign Hezbollah will blink like then given experience since www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

🚨 NEW: “They are promised a 200-mile-long river that is four-and-a-half feet deep filled with nothing but the blood that their weaponized version of Jesus will spill at the Battle of Armageddon,” Weinstein said. “That’s a lot of blood." www.huffpost.com/entry/troops...

Before the war on Iran, Trump dismantled teams at the Pentagon that focused on limiting civilian casualties in conflict Upon entering the war, the admin says: “no stupid rules of engagement” Big fear of war crimes among sources familiar with military discussions www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

This week, @nicolefroio.bsky.social explores the power of activism + creativity and connects with a community of nail artists who are telling ICE to get fucked. (Oh! And it's a FREE POST!)

Every day, at least 300 immigrants land at La Lima airport in the northwest region of Honduras after being deported from the US. Many have arrived without their children – having no idea where their kids are or who is taking care of them.

I had a chance to interview former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn. We discussed ICE and his plans for the agency, his new bid for Congress and how he is uniquely made to meet the moment America is in. Read the interview here: www.huffpost.com/entry/100-pr...

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

NEW: It’s difficult to account for the abuses trans immigrants face in ICE custody after Trump destroyed safeguards, oversight agencies, and data about detainees. But 3 trans migrants told me what it’s really like: Medical neglect. Solitary confinement. Harassment. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

O'Hara starred in the 2000 mockumentary "Best in Show."

always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post

HuffPost Union just delivered a strike pledge signed by 100% of our members. We are united and prepared to do whatever is necessary to reach a fair deal. #faircontractnow

Q for anyone who works at the VA: Has the VA secretary or leadership said anything internally addressing the fucking elephant in the room that one of their VA colleagues was just shot to death by a federal agent? Hearing from one source it's been a cone of silence in there, no comms to staff.

"Last week, ICE agents detained a parent ... while her child and others were waiting for the school bus. ... 'The kid ran to the bus. She was mentally shaken. This is a 9-year-old.'" 💔

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Feels like a goddamn war zone out here. The constant sound of helicopters, people loudly shouting and cursing at ICE, flash bangs, tear gas, so many people in gas masks and/or face coverings. There's also a drone hovering above the crowd now.

More tear gas. More flash bangs.

I'm on site where a federal agent shot a Minneapolis man this morning. It's bad. Dozens of federal agents are facing off with hundreds of outraged residents. People being tear gassed, helicopters above, I keep hearing pops, and lots of loud BANGS. This smoke is from tear gas:

“The genocide in Gaza was a rehearsal for abandoning the principles of law, humanity & respect…The experiment went well and is now being applied elsewhere, as in Venezuela, Greenland & the streets of Minneapolis” - EU official to me on what they see as the broader forces behind this week’s crisis.

With ten days until our contract expires, our unit is not willing to settle for less. We're standing together until we reach a fair deal.

New: I went to Minneapolis and saw a brutal federal occupation. I also saw neighbors fighting back. www.huffpost.com/entry/minnea...

an eyewitness to the Minneapolis ICE shooting told me the victim appeared "obviously scared" and "was going to leave" before an ICE agent fired multiple shots "right into, it seemed like, her face" www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-sh...

New year same L train

NEW: Trump got a fair number of his judicial picks confirmed in 2025, but more interestingly, he was stymied all year by retirement-eligible judges not retiring, denying him lots more court vacancies to fill. “One of the biggest stories this year." www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Susie Wiles told NYT she didn't call Elon Musk "an avowed ketamine" in one of her ELEVEN interviews with Vanity Fair. "That’s ridiculous. I wouldn’t have said it and I wouldn’t know." Vanity Fair: Cool here's a recording of you saying that. www.huffpost.com/entry/brown-...

“God has used them before. God can use them again." Of the six people in Oklahoma who have had their death sentences commuted, two — Julius Jones and Tremane Wood — shared the same federal habeas legal team. I spoke with the team about their live-saving work www.huffpost.com/entry/treman...

EXCLUSIVE: For years Donald Trump has evaded responsibility for the Jan. 6 insurrection. And for years, he has tried to kill a lawsuit that could hold him liable. He has failed. Again and again. This is it. This is the last chance to see Trump held to account: www.huffpost.com/entry/lawmak...

I asked SouthCom why it used a Jerusalem Cross in a post about an operation in which the Trump admin has killed at least 87 people in Caribbean/Pacific missile strikes. “There is no other communication intent for this image” except showing soldiers “in a ready posture,” Col. Emanuel Ortiz told me.

The conservative justices have their talking point -- what if Congress turned every department into a multimember commission -- and it is totally absurd considering that has never happened under the existing law.

Exclusive: ICE has developed a plan to arrest undocumented migrants who try to voluntarily leave the U.S. via the Mexico border, so they can face formal removal. Why bother? Possibly to juice deportation numbers. It's being referred to as "Operation Irish Goodbye." www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-pl...
