An absolutely insane story from @telliotter.bsky.social about a US government employee who exposed Elon Musk's DOGE for accessing and exfiltrating sensitive data. Days after he went public, he was driving his car and discovered his brakes had been cut.... www.wired.com/story/he-ble...

CBS News has fired 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley.

The Trump administration is lying about Delaney Hall. Here's what's actually going on.

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

This will be the first book length analysis of a single comics panel, by @glennf.com based on my Mr. Gotcha comic w/ remixes, essays, and new comics. We have 10 days left in this Kickstarter with $20k to go. If you're curious (!) now is the time to back it: www.kickstarter.com/projects/gle...

Just insane. New Jersey Gov Mikie Sherrill says DHS just denied state health inspectors full access to Delaney Hall. She's calling for it to be shut down.

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

Incredible quote from Wyden, that it is time to "start treating the adtech industry as a national security threat."

The Treasury Department is designing a new $250 bill with Trump’s face on it for the 250th anniversary of America. Under federal law, no living person is allowed to appear on US currency, so either Trump is planning to die or they plan to break the law to honor the first criminal as president.

Newsmax host on alleged hunger strikes in a ICE detention facilities: “If they want to not eat, that's on them. I don't really care. Saves us some taxpayer money, I guess.” www.mediamatters.org/immigration/...

“I don’t know how to explain that.” Outside Delaney Hall ICE detention center on Day 3 of the hunger strike, an anonymous single mother talks about her elderly father detained inside — and how her kids keep asking when he’s coming home. WATCH @jordanchariton.bsky.social LIVE ⬇️

Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov issued the following statement after Speaker Johnson postponed a vote on his Iran War Powers Resolution:

I am not a lawyer, but the conduct described here seems very bad to me! For example, presenting a case to a grand jury which refused to indict, then *kicking out the jurors who voted against the charges and trying again.*

HOLY SHIT prosecutors kicked off grand jurors and then re-presented the case against the Broadview 6, then altered the grand jury transcripts to hide it from the judge. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

VAN HOLLEN: An individual who was pardoned by Trump went on to molest 2 children, & he tried to buy their silence by saying he would give them funds from your slush fund. Can you commit to not making that person eligible for a payout? BLANCHE: You're obviously lying V: I am reporting what he said

Trump doesn't think about regular Americans' economic woes, so what is he focused on? His stock portfolio -- a stunning 3,700 trades in just 3 months, in firms entangled in his government like Palantir, Nvidia, and Boeing Let's make this a big deal. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

incredible reader email. genuinely shocked that some of these people can breathe.

Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂

If a Democrat is elected president in 2028 they will be blamed for social security just like some low-info voters punished Biden for the Dobbs decision

Texas limits eligibility for Medicaid to families living below 15 percent of the poverty level, meaning that a family of three earning more than—get this—$4,098 annually is not eligible for any benefits. trib.al/5Jne2ri

NEW: The Supreme Court has frequently admonished lower courts for intervening too close to elections but is now facing accusations that it is doing exactly that in a way that helps Republicans draw new districts at breakneck speed: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

I gave an interview recently about the importance of making nightlife more affordable for young people, and some of the feedback was, what a woke interview. And I think: so much of the current moment is just indulging people who don't want anyone else to have nice things.

Roberts dropping that “we’re not political actors” quote and doing this 96 hours later is nasty work

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has allowed Alabama to select a different map for this year’s congressional elections in a stunning, last-minute move to interfere with another state primary election that has already begun. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It is wrong and criminal for government agents to kidnap someone, send them to die in a concentration camp, and disappear them, regardless of immigration status. But it's still worth noting she has a green card. The government doesn't even pretend this is about deporting undocumented people.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito leaned on an erroneous claim that Black voter turnout now tops white voter turnout, in his Callais v. Louisiana ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act, reports The Guardian. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Kevin Gonzalez has died just hours after reuniting with his parents, NBC Chicago/Telemundo Chicago reports: www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/c...

Abolish ICE in its entirety and deny everyone working for them any future government employment.

Bloody hell.

We are losing our best and brightest. Trump’s immigration policies will have an effect on immigrant scientists like Shirley Meng. She is stepping down as director of Energy Storage Research Alliance and will be relocating to Singapore. 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...

In my area when they took people from school bus stops, ICE did a big long campaign wirh help from most newspapers and the sherif office saying that ‘ICE says it didn’t take anybody from school bus stops.’ They do take people from school bus stops. Bcz they are hunting and they know easiest places

🚨🚨🚨“A leaked audio recording points to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, Javier Milei, and Donald Trump as attempting to create a platform to spread fake news about the administrations of Claudia Sheinbaum, Lula, and Gustavo Petro.”🚨🚨🚨

this VA decision is actually perfectly consistent with the Republican Party's theory of politics leaving things up to the will of the voter and following procedure is woke and gay, instead you should just do whatever you want and tell everyone else to eat shit

I'm somehow old enough to remember when SCOTUS in March halted a Democratic gerrymander in New York because it was racist against white voters. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

I think naming names is important here. Democrats should go after Virginia Supreme Court justices who ruled against redistricting publicly, in press conferences, in TV and radio ads. Tell Virginians who they are and what they did.

VA SC decision is a setback, NOT the end! White Christian nationalists WANT us to give up. Americans are fed up with high prices, and a war that no one wants, while GOP hands out billions in tax cuts for the rich. FIGHT BACK. Vote. Organize. Our democracy depends on it!

Oh its complicit... because they're invalidating citizens... while taking positions that deny citizens their rights.

that the virginia supreme court allowed the referendum to go forward - they could have stopped it - and then ruled this way really gives up the game the only difference between now and then is that the we know the result and they didn't like it

A must-read from UCLA law prof Dave Marcus, who was actually in the room when it happened. www.dorfonlaw.org/2026/05/mean...

1. Remember what I said about how if they can strip folks who look like me of our representation and political power they can do the same to you. 2. Black folks tried to warn people that this was a thing the republicans wanted to do and would do. Too many at all levels of power ignored us.

its true that i dont understand how the supreme court operates. for example do you get the free RV and house for your mom before or after issuing favorable rulings? is it a *wink wink* deal or more explicit? these are the things the general public doesnt understand

NEW: ProPublica identified at least 79 children who’ve been left screaming, unable to breathe, or otherwise hurt by tear gas and pepper spray during Trump’s historic immigration crackdown.

The Billion-Dollar Bunker: Why America is Fueling a Gilded Hunger Games As our wallets bleed at the pump and the middle class evaporates, the “Billionaire Class” is building high-tech fortresses under the guise of public works—and we’re picking up the tab. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

Ag secretary confirming 1 in 4 US farmers has no fertilizer secured, American Farm Bureau survey says up to 70% can’t afford enough fertilizer for the season under the spiked costs Honestly shocked this isn’t bigger news. 25% of farms are just not planting at all this season. Farm bankruptcy up 46%

7 dollar gas. Well, I guess I'll buy an electric car. Oh those are 60 thousand dollars? Well at least electricity is cheap. Oh the government won't build solar panels because it's "Too transgender"? Well at least wages are going up. Oh the idea of jobs is fake now? Well at least everyone is happ
