I was fighting fascism with the power of love and kindness and just really getting my ass handed to me. proteanmag.com/2025/11/01/w...

@chrisdangelo.bsky.social and I first reported in 2020 that Trump hired him to a top role at the Interior Department. I can confirm he was not very bright. www.huffpost.com/entry/interi...

404 Media just had an ad during the #SuperBowl! We Googled "smallest TV markets in the United States" and bought an ad for $2,550 that only ran in Ottumwa, Iowa, population 25,000. That still counts www.404media.co/watch-404-me...

NEW: Luigi Mangione wasn't happy with a judge's decision to set his state trial for June 8, months before his federal trial. “It’s the same trial twice. One plus one equals two. Double jeopardy by any commonsense definition,” he said as he was leaving the courtroom, dressed in a brown jail uniform.

I asked Ron Wyden what his cryptic letter to the CIA was all about. He wouldn't say. "I wrote it for a specific reason. That’s all I can say.” He did a similar thing before, in 2011, and illicit spy activities were later revealed by Edward Snowden www.huffpost.com/entry/ron-wy...

One of the best interviews I've had about my book, with @mattshuham.bsky.social, just published at @huffpost.com, my old stomping grounds (where the @huffpostunion.bsky.social deserves a fair contract!) www.huffpost.com/entry/to-cat...

We could not have pulled off this incredible deal without each and every member of the unit standing together. We are so proud and grateful to work alongside such brave and compassionate people. #SolidarityForever

“I’ve been working to the edge of sanity this year and so, once my kids head home after Christmas, I really want to hit the party scene in St Barts or elsewhere and let loose. The invitation is much appreciated, but a peaceful island experience is the opposite of what I’m looking for.”

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Jen is on the scene in Minneapolis, braving the tear gas and blistering cold. www.huffpost.com/entry/video-...

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:

BREAKING: James Rodden, an ICE prosecutor who the Observer identified last year as the operator of an X account that posted “America is a White nation," “‘Migrants’ are all criminals,” and apparent praise of Adolf Hitler, appeared to be back at work Tuesday. www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

this man drinks michelob ultra and you can't convince me otherwise

Update: Betar, the racist, ultra-Zionist group that encouraged the Trump administration to target pro-Palestine demonstrators, is winding down operations following an investigation by the NY Attorney General. OAG found that Betar's harassment violated state civil rights law ag.ny.gov/press-releas...

I’ll be in Minneapolis briefly, until Tuesday morning. I’m available at 646-397-4678 by cell or Signal, if anyone has tips or other things they think HuffPost readers ought to know. Ty!

One of the core purposes of right-wing media is to rewrite your memory and reprogram your moral response to an event you saw with your own eyes. George Floyd died of a heart attack. Jan 6 was a peaceful picnic. This process has already begun

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...

> An investigative journalist has infiltrated the white supremacist dating website WhiteDate and exfiltrated over 8,000 profiles and 100GB of data. Photos and other sensitive details have been made public, and the full “WhiteLeaks” data is available cybernews.com/security/inv...

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather. “No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!” “No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

So for months they have tried to blame the entire fentanyl crisis on Venezuela and the indictment only mentions cocaine, which they pardoned a different guy for weeks ago

Trump just posted this photo of the sharpest minds in our intelligence community hard at work during the Venezuelan operation.

An Epstein file that shows an open desk drawer with photos of President Donald Trump inside appears to have been quietly removed Saturday, with no explanation as to why from the Justice Department.

404 Media zine has apparently outsold American Canto. Help continue that trend here: 404media.myshopify.com/products/pre... www.404media.co/behind-the-b...

Loving you Isn't the right thing to do

BREAKING: Tremane Wood, who was moments away from being executed for a killing his brother admitted to committing, received a last minute clemency grant from Gov. Kevin Stitt www.huffpost.com/entry/treman...

For the first time since it's founding there's an actual conspiracy that indicts powerful elites and there are actual documents that actually prove it and Infowars is like "nah"

Do yourself a favor and read this fantastic journalism from @sebastianmurdock.bsky.social & @taiylersimone.bsky.social !!!

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground. "That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks. "It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

Check out my latest with @sebastianmurdock.bsky.social for @huffpost.com: Spring Ridge Academy, an isolated all-girls boarding school in Arizona, promised to help "troubled teens," but former students said the facility abused them and left them traumatized instead. www.huffpost.com/entry/troubl...

Doubting any horror story from one of these places is like being a gravity truther

Six former students of a now-closed "troubled-teen" facility in Arizona told HuffPost they were abused. The facility's founder, Jeannie Courtney, told HuffPost she believes her accusers are making it all up. From @taiylersimone.bsky.social and I www.huffpost.com/entry/troubl...

A must-read, from HuffPosters Sebastian Murdock & @taiylersimone.bsky.social: > “There was nothing else I could do. I couldn’t refuse.” > “It’s like brainwashing.” > “I had to describe my own rape, and then they made me read it to my parents over the phone.” www.huffpost.com/entry/troubl...
