I’m pleased to announce that following our reporting, multiple people have reported that a formal inquiry is being made into SEGM’s accreditation, and that the CME courses are at least temporarily pulled down.

China bought 27 million metric tons of soybeans from US farmers in 2024. But somehow this “deal” to buy significantly less is a huge victory.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Trump: “…BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE GONE STONE COLD “CRAZY,” THE CHOICE IS CLEAR — INITIATE THE “NUCLEAR OPTION,” GET RID OF THE FILIBUSTER AND, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

BASH: “You’re not gonna bring anything up on the house floor even if the senate finds some sort of compromise?” SPEAKER JOHNSON: “Yeah. Because they’re trying to play games and we’re not interested in doing that.” (He then makes it clear these are Trump’s orders) #AmericanDuma

Trump's executive orders are working their work.

Who would've thought building a $300 million gold-plated ballroom as kids go hungry and health care costs soar would be unpopular?

You may not believe that new supply pushes down rents, but your landlord does.

Catholic leaders seek reforms in Florida — an epicenter of support for Trump’s ICE agenda

There's a concerted push to weaponize medical billing against trans people and their healthcare. Using alternate billing codes for coverage is ubiquitous across the medical system for all kinds of care. This is not unique to trans healthcare but it's being portrayed as such to target access to it.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

As Noah recounts, Trumpers have descended headlong into Orwell's dark parody of Stalinism, exemplified by a desperate attempt to penalize Canada for (accurately) reminding us that Ronald Reagan - the mythified spiritual father of the GOP - was an outspoken advocate of free trade and immigration. 3/

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine. My latest @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/ice-is...

“In 1985, there were over 70,000 nuclear weapons ready to be fired at a moment's notice. After forty years of the most difficult and delicate negotiations imaginable, there are now around 12,300 nuclear weapons in existence, with fewer than 4,000 deployed for use. … still a horrendous number.”

odd to watch the United Airlines CEO at the White House speak at the White House and sound like a Republican member of Congress

This is literally Nazi shit. This is what the Nazis did. If you support this, you are a Nazi, and if that makes you upset, then STOP BEING A FUCKING NAZI

Masterful save.

Look, Vance might be a gutter racist who knowingly spreads vile conspiracy theories but I bet Jeremy Peters and the NYT are fine with it all because he’s not pronouncing “Haiti” as naturally as that scary brown Islamist terrorist Mamdani

dude will be a wet blanket if he is the nominee. the full extent of the problem isn't clear yet because a lot of moderately engaged liberals don't realize how conservative he is yet. most will vote for him but unenthusiastic base voters always spells trouble for dems.

Whether China will require changes to Trump’s deal will likely become clear soon, but terms allowing ByteDance to retain a 20 percent ownership stake and keep the algorithm are widely viewed as favorable to China.

JD Vance lies shamelessly: "We're inheriting a healthcare system that has suffered some real problems under the Biden administration. Because of that, you're seeing health insurance premiums skyrocket."

Pay your taxes and rents to your lords dear serfs.

If you're worried about Trump trying to ban trans healthcare for youth across the country, I highly encourage you to revisit this piece. AIDS activism, which saved millions of lives, has shown us that queer people can win our healthcare if we fight for it, even when the government wants us dead.

Vance brings up the idea of common community, which I think is legit on some level. In his book Bowling Alone, Robert Putnum finds that social capital often goes down in multi-ethnic areas. But these issues are not insurmountable. We know this because Vance married an Indian, Hindu woman.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

As I’ve explained: one of the best ways to protect your heart health is to keep up with your Covid and flu vaccinations. Don’t listen to antivaccine activists they don’t care about you or your family www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/w...

DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

This statement by JD Vance is no different from the people who claimed it’s “totally reasonable and acceptable” for white folks to not want Black people in their neighborhoods Or to enact covenants which exclude Jews and Italians It’s blatant racism-coming from the very top of the US government

A huge congratulations to our friends at @obsidian.net on launching THE OUTER WORLDS 2! To those in Arcadia, we wish you great wealth, stealth, and healthy knees. P.S. - Even in the farthest reaches of unknowable time and space, and long after humanity, some things persist...like Auntie's Choice! 🌝

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

in Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone plays a supercop from the violent 1990s frozen in time and sent to the future. He winds up fighting a group of terrorists until he realizes they're just trying to steal food, at which point he refuses to continue attacking them

We've hit the point where a lot of our dystopian sci fi now feels hopelessly optimistic

Dems need to do more to broadcast that they're taking actions like this.

New in PN: The triumph of bullshit "We’re a long way from 'covfefe' and tumescent hurricanes Sharpied on a weather map. This is an era of lies as policy, where government priorities are based on right-wing conspiracy theories and fear-mongering."

JUST IN: Trump says he has instructed the Department of Defense to start testing our nuclear weapons

i can't claim to know Kat as well as I'd like but there's never been a shred of doubt in my mind that she believes what she says and is willing to put her body on the line for that belief. I admire her.

DHS just posted a Lord of the Rings meme as an appeal to join ICE

ICE are thug trash.

The U.S. is experiencing its highest wave of layoffs since 2020, with close to a million workers losing their jobs this year.

Just incredibly, unnecessarily cruel. And I’d be shocked if there wasn’t wanton corruption going on here, too.

Clearing up those "had a stroke" rumors with some impeccable StrokePosting™. Masterful gambit sir!

Cool, they're formalizing the insider trading business they've got going on, where massive options/crypto bets just-so-happen to appear right before Trump posts yet another sudden change to our international trade policies.

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview. This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association. I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.
