Nothing they like more than putting the bulldozer in charge of the henhouse www.gravityisgone.com/a-collective...

Halfway done which means you still have time to tune in for 25 new songs Bubbling Up on @krclradio.bsky.social as I count down the top 250 most played artists on my show this year

Stunning development: Senators now confirm the Trump admin’s 28-point “peace plan” for Ukraine wasn’t a U.S. plan at all. It was a Russian wish list. Follow along. This is crazy. 1/

NEW: As Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick drives billions of dollars in foreign payments to help build AI data centers in the US, his sons help run a company earning tens of millions in fees helping finance AI data centers. A NYT investigation. (Free link) www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/u...

Where we are as a country

I just wrapped up two projects with students working on automated license plate reader tech in the context of abortion and this is still more dystopian and horrific than anything we uncovered. The US is now a surveillance state with border patrol as the Gestapo. apnews.com/article/immi...

"never in modern U.S. history has the office intersected so broadly and deeply with the financial interests of the commerce secretary’s own family, according to interviews with ethics lawyers and historians."

More and more corruption....

Brendan Carr's latest completely bogus "investigation" is just a blatantly political threat to public media. The censorship czar is back, baby! I'm not sure how Carr's expanding his jurisdiction to the BBC, but then the point is always just spreading fear and scoring cheap points with Trump.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Check out Bubbling Up on @krclradio.bsky.social tonight 7-10pm mst for 50 new songs.

Absolutely no way to read this and not conclude that the Department of Justice has been deeply corrupted. And this is from a time when career lawyers were in place, pushing back against illegality. With firings and resignations, the politicization will just get worse. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

Everyone needs to read this thread. Everyone.

The great @timkarr.bsky.social explores why our nation's legacy media outlets are so allergic to covering protests in the newest edition of Pressing Issues. pressingissues.org/to-the-natio... (You'd already know how great this piece is if you were a subscriber!)

Uh oh, the FCC Chairman is podcasting again. Brendan Carr’s supposed efforts to “reinvigorate the public-interest standard” are really about bullying timid media executives and transforming their newsrooms into Trump mouthpieces. New Pressing Issues out now! Subscribe!

Thank you, Chicago.

New: The Pentagon confirms to CNN it will funnel $130M from an anonymous Trump “friend” toward military pay. Asked about the donor’s identity and any foreign or domestic entanglements, the WH referred questions to DoD. DoD then referred questions back to the WH www.cnn.com/2025/10/24/p...

This is Trump’s make-believe story to justify murder. The Times never says so. The closest the Times gets to anything like that in the first eight grafs is calling it “legally questionable” in graf four. Link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/u...

Phang: One man has single-handedly disenfranchised 813,000 voters in the state of Arizona, all because he wants to kiss the ass of convicted felon Donald Trump.

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

So "soliciting" leaks is not protected newsgathering, according to this administration. Do they think leaks grow on trees? Journalists aren't stenographers who wait for the government to tell them what they can print. We wrote about this here.

Tune in to @krclradio.bsky.social tonight 7-10pm mountain time for Bubbling Up with 50 new songs including soul, jazz, electronic, hiphop & psychedelic sounds...

Fascinating thread thanks to @annabower.bsky.social of lawfaremedia.org

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

We can't settle for Republicans’ promise of later negotiations. Because every time this Administration says something, they go back on their word. If Republicans need Democratic votes, they need to keep health care premiums from skyrocketing for the American people.

I want to be clear: there is no need for military troops on the ground in the State of Illinois.

Oh he can just unilaterally pass unconstitutional laws now huh ok

This passage nearly broke me.

This is a VERY well crafted lawsuit. 1) Plaintiff is natural born. 2) He was detained 2X in a fast-growing part of Alabama, not in a city that Brett Kavanaugh could be easily duped into believing was all migrants. 3) Unwarranted detentions were on private property. 4) He showed Real ID both times.

IF ANY CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY SIGNS THIS RADICAL AGREEMENT, THEY'LL LOSE BILLIONS IN STATE FUNDING — INCLUDING CAL GRANTS — INSTANTLY. CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, RESEARCHERS, AND SURRENDER ACADEMIC FREEDOM.

“This case is chilling for us all,” said Free Press’ senior counsel Benavidez. “And that’s the point — the administration will stop at nothing, not even the First Amendment, to bully people into silence.” cpj.org/2025/10/jour...

This is the moment Republicans have been dreaming about…🤢

Imagine saying this with zero irony.

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

These are all horrible, but this is just disgusting.
