NEW: We reported two years ago that Chicago police had made 200,000 secret traffic stops, failing to disclose them as required by law. Chicago police then admitted the problem, & promised to 'fix' it in a legislative hearing. We just investigated again: The problem... got WORSE.

Donald Trump took 18 months to release documents that he now claims show election activities that would have taken place on his watch in 2020.

Trump was in charge in 2020 when all the foreign interference he alleges happened

If Taylor Swift truly, TRULY, wanted you to be at her concert, and she only did it for the love of the art, then her tickets would never be expensive. She could pay to play by subsidizing her shows with her own billionaire wealth, reducing costs. But she doesn't. No good billionaire.

doot. #comic #webcomic

cyclospora turns people into human shit geysers. Bobby Brainworms Jr killed the program that tracked it, because he was too fucking ignorant — and stupid — to understand the ramifications of what he was doing. thank you for your attention to today's extremely angry post. link is here: bit.ly/4hcewTt

NEW: Months after FCC Commissioner Olivia Trusty cast a decisive vote approving Paramount’s historic $8 billion merger with Skydance Media, she and a guest accepted Kennedy Center gala tickets from the company worth more than $12,000.

You know who you don't mess with while on public transit? 1) don't mess with anyone, what's wrong with you? 2) anyone who's carrying a traffic cone or other "caution" material

New York, another heatwave is on its way this week. Temperatures are expected to feel like the upper 90s Tuesday, with the heat index climbing into the low 100s Wednesday before cooler weather arrives later this week. Here’s a reminder of what you need to know to stay safe: youtu.be/egBMr07NSF0?...

“Everyone deserves healthcare” “But how will you pay for—“ “Shut the fuck up” ⬆️ ideal candidate interview

I hope to see a continued wave of elected officials who say normal shit like "I think our tax dollars should go to education instead of missile defense systems for Israel” it's going to be a wild ride watching every talking head short circuit while trying to undermine them

WHOA DHS does not say that the agent feared for his life… just the vague concern for “public safety.” So he killed him just because he did not want him in America, not because of any specific threat to agents?

Thanks to an EXTRAORDINARILY generous donor, we have a DONATION MATCH up to ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!! If you’re wanting to donate, now is the moment. It will support our legal and Hill efforts to stop this awful rule. 5/ Standupforscience.net/donate

NEW: ProPublica investigated the attack on bestselling author Alice Sebold and the wrongly convicted man who lost decades of his life. Here’s what we learned about the failures in the justice system — and the consequences still being felt today.

You ever yawn so hard, you drool a little?

My goodness, I'm just gonna keep forgetting and then remembering that today is the first day without Lindsay Graham breathing our oxygen and it's gonna be great

“If this can happen to an American member of Congress, imagine what life is like for Palestinians who have no smartphones, no security, and no national platform.”

Holy shit! Some good fucking news, finally!

Women want a guy who looks like this, not whatever gigachad memes look like

BREAKING: the clock struck midnight and our bipartisan housing bill is now law. Trump refused to sign it, but he couldn't stop it. This law is GROUNDBREAKING. It will build more housing, bring down costs, and for the first time, stop private equity from buying up homes.

@hankgreen.bsky.social I would really like to get a Complexly jersey of some kind. What with the World Cup moving on soon, I'm thinking this could be a great merch opportunity (I dunno how that would affect your general operation costs, tho). And if it could arrive before August 8th, 2026...

We insist that our library kids get to grow old. Protect them at all costs. Let them play, let them learn, let them be loved, keep them safe 💛

Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled a new plan to speed up New York City buses by improving service along 50 priority corridors across the five boroughs, beginning with Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn.

With each of these killings by ICE, the administration is telling us: they decide who is worthy of citizenship, they decide whose lives have value.

So when is Israel gonna get strung up for war crimes? tube.xy-space.de/w/9upkw84kwL...

If we don't have our own Nuremberg-style trials for the current admin and their flunkies (with unpardonable life without parole sentences), then we're cooked as a country with no capacity to rebuild. You and others need to start working to make this happen. Or the USA is officially done.

“It’s a large, unmovable mass on Mars that appears firm to the touch, with jagged edges,” said astrobiologist Bryce Varden, noting the location of the growth on the underside of the planet, which he stated “often goes unchecked.”

This new housing will be in my neighborhood & I support it. It’s being built based on state housing laws we passed. Across the street will be 16 story affordable housing focused on low income LGBTQ seniors. All within blocks of subway & bus service. Step by step we are tackling our housing crisis.

The reason Trump screamed “RIGGED!” about the 2020 election was so that he could cheat and rig the 2024 election as much as he wanted. Because if anyone says the word ‘rigged’ now, even if it is, you sound like him. This is an old Nazi tactic.

Federal immigration agents who killed a man during a traffic stop in Houston on Tuesday had been searching for a different person, according to a Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman.

The Trump admin continues to attack whatever they deem as “woke” with no basis, suppressing those who are most vulnerable. This rule change would attack research on black maternal health, LGBTQ+ health, and much more. Fight back by leaving your public comment here: zurl.co/OcDQM zurl.co/DrBw8

Affordable housing? Too expensive. Affordable healthcare? Too expensive. Spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer money retrofitting a luxury jet illegally gifted to Trump by a foreign government? Apparently that’s in the budget.

Under Trump: -An ExxonMobil lawyer runs DOJ's Environment division -An Amazon executive runs OSHA -A crypto and prediction markets lawyer runs the CFTC -A private prison executive runs ICE The list goes on... The revolving door is spinning out of control.

NEW The Justice Department is threatening to prosecute election officials across the country for failing to remove noncitizens from their voter rolls, an escalation of the Trump administration's attempts to prosecute election fraud, according to letters I obtained with Andy Mannix @propublica.org 🧵

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment. Here’s what experts say you need to know.

What we already know is horrific. Imagine how bad discovery would be if the government is willing to pay our fees (something the government doesn’t readily do) just to avoid it.

My five codefendants and I were dragged through the mud, accrued months of attorneys’ fees, and suffered the stress of a possibly decade-long prison sentence because of this corruption. And it’s almost certainly worse than we know. Transparency and accountability should be our #1 priority.

Yes. Reform the Supreme Court. Term limits. Expand the Court. Enforceable code of ethics. It’s time we address corruption on the highest court.

I have only 2 real desires in life: 1) funnel as much dairy into my gullet until I must stop due to a distended stomach, and then add a few more servings on top 2) attempt to break Rip Van Winkle's record (and also die, but that's the depression)

Happy 250th birthday, America 🇺🇸 ! We continue the struggle for a ‘more perfect union.’ And I continue to agree with James Baldwin: “I love America more than any other country in the world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.”

Patriotism isn't about building walls, punishing immigrants, cutting taxes for the rich, attacking the press, or dividing us by race & faith. True patriots don't pander to divisiveness or hate. They work to confirm the "WE" in "We the People of the United States."
