The progress comes even as the police department remains 20% below its budgeted staffing levels, with about 1,200 fewer officers on the force than 10 years ago.

“A chatbot designed to be “less restricted,” owned by a man who thinks content moderation is censorship, generating child sexual abuse material on a platform with hundreds of millions of users. And the press response? “Grok apologizes.” “

"For too long those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty." - Mayor Mamdani.

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”

People were just waiting for the bus. ICE agents grabbed them without explanation or papers. A 73-year-old U.S. citizen volunteer was tackled to the ground for witnessing the raid. This is fascism. State violence used to terrorize civilians. No due process. No accountability. Just force.

So sick of these BS “influencers.” And we should not help make them more famous. We should just refer to them as the “influencer” and not by name. Biased influencers trying to get you to think a certain way. F— that!!

The GOP’s midterm strategy is literally just Comet Pizza

When Nick Shirley arrived to "test" if he could enroll his son "Joey" in Minneapolis day cares, his viral video omitted that he showed up with an entourage of masked men acting like security, multiple vehicles including vans, cameras, and men who wouldn't identify themselves. One day care owner /

Still mind-blowing that a top admin official was revealed to have taken $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from people looking for government favors, the reaction of the administration was "Whatever losers, this is how it works now" and bigshot news media said "If you say so, we'll forget about it"

NYT just ran a bizarrely credulous piece about New College, the school that DeSantis and Rufo have turned upside down. There is one good outcome of the article: This @donmoyn.bsky.social post, which is one of the best pieces of media criticism I've read all year. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

A South Park writer saw Trump’s ego warming up, bought trumpkennedycenter.org months early, and waited. That’s not trolling. That’s satire with a calendar. Toby Morton just understands narcissism and timing. 😜

We need Nuremberg trials for the Trump administration officials who illegally sent these men to a torture camp. No "forward, not backward" BS. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.'

Ezra Klein is cashing in the right way

The utter perversion of the #BrokenTimes' both-sidesing compulsion: Here it equates the right-wing ruin of New College with (checks notes) liberal (in any sense of the word) education, which it dismisses as just another "ideological bubble." Just fuck off.

Amb of Israel to UN Danon: UN Sec Council will convene on Mon for urgent session following Israel's recognition of the Rep of Somaliland There are UNCONFIRMED reports that Israel and US are planning to move Palestinians to Somaliland. As I reported, Netanyahu is meeting Trump at MAL on Mon, 12/29.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I remember the phrase "they can't be allowed to melt back into society" re: the de-Baathification of Iraq after the war there. Like everything about that experience, the attempt was cynical, stupid, and botched. But there really should be a plan about what we do with guys like these in the future.

“We want to make sure that Santa is being good. Santa’s a very good person,” Trump said while speaking to kids ages 4 and 10 in Oklahoma. “We want to make sure that he’s not infiltrated, that we’re not infiltrating into our country a bad Santa.” He didn’t elaborate. apnews.com/article/trum...

Hello @nytimes.com

Trump just posted almost 200 times in a row. Most of them are just old debunked lies. But one stood out - this one where he is now openly calling for Pam Bondi to arrest Barack Obama.

Heroes. “Mr. Redd said seven musicians were scheduled to perform on Wednesday. The concert had been held at the Kennedy Center for 20 years and was previously hosted by the jazz bassist Keter Betts, who died in 2005. Mr. Redd took over in 2006.”

Appa again, this time helping so much.

tiktok what the absolute everloving shit is this

It’s past time for the DOJ and FBI to follow the money on Epstein as I've been doing for 3 years. The bankers who looked the other way, Epstein’s accountants and lawyers who controlled his cash flow, and the billionaires who funded Epstein’s criminal network.

Donald Trump is awake at 1 AM calling for the murder of Stephen Colbert, in case you're wondering how his award show hosting gig went.

They got caught. They’re backing down. But this isn’t over. There needs to be a class action lawsuit. Instacart admitted it was using AI to charge different people different prices for the exact same items. Algorithmic price gouging. That scam could cost a family of four $1,200 more a year.

This is darkly funny. They had evidence that he committed suicide, but they couldn’t release it because it also makes Trump look terrible.

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

Expect a "revolt" among 60 Minutes staff over Bari Weiss pulling the CECOT segment at the last minute, one network insider told me. Another CBS News reporter added that a Rubicon had been crossed with this decision, which 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi called "political" and not editorial.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

Bari gets a heavily promoted 60 Minutes story that would be bad for the Trump administration killed:

This thread comparing Vance’s disgusting statement today at CPAC to this of past white supremcists. 👇

This may be the first president whose name will be removed from things after he passes instead of added to them.

The New York Times reports that Trump would discuss girls’ pubic hair with Epstein. This is the vile pig that Pam Bondi is happily and willfully covering up for. @meidastouch.com

Remember, JFK voluntarily served in the military during WWII even though medically exempt & a war-hero while captaining PT-109 in the Pacific theater? Trump dodged the draft 5 times based on bone spurs in his foot & could not recall which foot when questioned. Trump has to put his name on fame.

I can't get over how extremely weird this is!

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

They're so transparent they're removing photos of Donald Trump. And now I'm getting an "access denied" message when I go back to look.
