Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

So after Trump pardoned Honduras's narco-president, the admin didn't just let him out--they canceled an immigration hold and sent a specialized team to **chauffeur him to the $1k/night Waldorf Astoria.** “It's "absolutely fucking nuts,” said one official www.propublica.org/article/trum...

I’m starting a lifelong campaign to topple Italian American simping for Christopher Columbus and replace him with Damian Clara

I CAN FINALLY REVEAL I WAS THERE IN PERSON!!!!

I wrote about the Dilley Detention Center back in 2018 because a local elected official traveled down to offer legal support to asylum seekers. It seemed chaotic back then; I can't imagine what it's like now. (idk why the photo is Ben Jealous, it wasn't him)

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

I cannot stop laughing

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

today someone on here said we need AI because having talent is ableist and I am barely exaggerating what a website

i'll say it once, i'll say it for the rest of my life: everything, even hockey, comes back to Pennsylvania 😈

you know it's a colossally stupid blunder when even my sister, who is a nurse with more pressing things to do, calls me and is like "what the fuck is going on with the washington post"

Jeff Bezos gave $75 million to support Melania Trump's vanity film, but he doesn't have the money for the hundreds of journalists he laid off at The Post today. Democracy dies with Bezos – unless we fight back. Here's how you can help: newsguild.org/mass-layoffs...

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

On the same day the Washington Post announces their layoffs, ProPublica of all places is ready to strike. How has journalism gotten to the place where the people who power the best newsrooms in the country are treated so poorly by the people that run them?

ICE has been buying up warehouses across the country, including one in Berks County, Pennsylvania just north of Reading. www.spotlightpa.org/berks/2026/0...

this is a lovely tribute, but it shoulda been T-Pain

now i get why weird rich dudes think everyone needs a robot to write good emails

I do need everyone to know that I got a big laugh today from this botched press release announcing the prosecutors coming together as “FOFO”

This is one of the most touching and heartbreaking things I have ever read.

now this is just me, but i personally am wondering what people who are in charge of journalism think journalism is

me: trying to look up an old mob wives reference the billion dollar super computer:

ICE detained a 2-year-old girl in Minneapolis and put the child on a flight to a detention center in Texas, despite a court ordering her release: www.startribune.com/agents-detai...

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

Sam Ersson might be the worst goalie in hockey, but he’s OUR worst goalie in hockey

with all disrespect, why are we still losing ourselves over Patrick Kane in 2026

Federal immigration agents forced open a door and detained a U.S. citizen in his Minnesota home at gunpoint without a warrant, then led him out onto the streets in his underwear in subfreezing conditions, according to his family and videos reviewed by The Associated Press.

what if we gave Dan Vladar some of that Bryce Harper blood

I can't believe it was the Habs, the least fun team in the whole league

On Tuesday, I had never heard of Dr. John O'Brien II, Gov. Shapiro's new pick for the Board of Pardons. Today, I am aware of more than two dozen cases where Dr. O'Brien was paid hundreds of dollars to say essentially the same thing: The defendant cannot be rehabilitated.

Pennsylvania's opioid trust approved settlement money for a public defender in Bucks County, a slight reversal from their previous position which discouraged local governments from spending on defender's offices. www.spotlightpa.org/news/2026/01...

I know the Flyers are losing this game, but I do love that they’re being as annoying as possible while doing it

eagles blew it fed chair might get indicted wine mom crimes golden globes polymarket pbs news off the air ha ha HA HA

well I certainly know what my first records request of 2026 will be for

AI hallucinations are showing up in Pennsylvania's highest courts, mostly in filings from pro se litigants. But one filing from attorneys with the Thomas More Society, a firm that was active in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, included fabricated quotes and citation errors.

A week before Renee Good was killed, an off-duty ICE agent fatally shot Keith Porter in L.A. DHS called Porter an "active shooter," yet no one else was hurt. Porter's family says he was no threat. What really happened? Latest w/ @liborjany & @cbuch03 www.latimes.com/california/s...

In English: The NLRB and Third Circuit ordered the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette to provide certain health insurance benefits; the paper’s owner tried to get a SCOTUS shadow docket order stopping that; when that failed, they announced they were closing the paper.

Outdated and inflexible because the Blocks spent a DECADE trying to ignore federal law, because they thought they would win. And now that they've lost, they're pointing at the consequences of their own bad behavior as a justification to damage their community. Ghoulish cry bullies.

ok but what NHL team will be the first to even acknowledge heated rivalry and will it be the flyers

heated rivalry stans, this game is big drama! there’s a juicy storyline involving a guy named Cutter, there’s been a fight, there’s been a scary hit and a big injury, no one has kissed yet but we’ve got a lot of ice to skate yet

there are hockey games and there are Hockey Games and this flyers/ducks is a damn hockey game

I was unaware of the hockey romance renaissance, but as a veteran of the Hockey Online of the 2010s, I feel it's my sworn duty to draw attention to the O.G. of wholesome, gay hockey romances, Check Please. Respect the foremother @ngoziu.com!
