NYT confirms — with new details: Last year, Navy SEALs used two boats to escort Kash Patel and nine others on what a Pentagon email called a 'VIP Snorkel' next to one of the military's most sacred sites, the underwater tomb of the U.S.S. Arizona. One Navy vet called the swim "horrifying."

@nicollewallace.bsky.social @deadlinewh.bsky.social I've been watching you for years and am a big fan. I'd like to see you cover the Eric Swalwell accusations. I don't want to see @ms.now ignore the accusations just bc he's a democrat and has been on the show. That's something FOX News would do.

I did not know this about Stephanie Ruhle, who I've always admired. I didn't know that DJT said what he said, though I'm not surprised. But I know plenty of ppl with a variety of disabilities, and they do not deserve this kind of bullying, certainly not from the leader of our country.

How long till @darthbluesky.bsky.social comes out of hibernation? I miss him terribly.

The Jan 6 plaque has finally been hung at the U.S. Capitol Happened at 4am Happened three years late due to politicized foot dragging

We are now 36 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Follow Scott if you don't already. He's objective, tenacious, and fair in his reporting.

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day. Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me. 🧵

Good for them.

@jarvm.bsky.social MARY! I'm so happy to reconnect with you! I can't remember why I deleted Threads (probably pissed at Zuckerberg), but I sure did miss the baseball community there.

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family. No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Share this with the ranchers and farmers and federal workers not getting paid and the people who just lost SNAP benefits.

I'm the English dept chair at my high school. I have recommended that my dept read this so we can discuss it. I have spent countless hours of my life over the last 19 years reading, commenting on, and grading student writing, all with the goal of helping them to become better writers. (1)

Look what’s chalked all over the sidewalks of Bloomfield, NJ. Free speech is a power we should use while we can. Chalk is cheap. #NoKings October 18.

If you're not totally aware of how bots try to sway minds, here's a good example.

It hurts my heart to see a human being thrown to the ground for exercising her 1st amendment right to protest. It's hurts more to see a TV personality celebrate that mistreatment. You know damn well that Laura would call for firings if the woman being physically mistreated was MAGA.

On the morning of 9/11/2001, it wasn’t Democrats or Republicans that were attacked, but the United States. Today is not just the anniversary of one of the darkest days in modern history, but a reminder that we are all Americans first.

We've launched a new D.C. campaign demanding that federal agents take off their masks — because public servants should face the public. Our posters and mobile billboard will be blanketing the District, demanding accountability.

Of all the things they SHOULD HAVE talked about...I mean, they only had a few hours to talk peace deal, and they talk about THIS? I call BS.

Uh oh.

I'm a public school teacher. If I don't like my year-end evaluation, can I fire the person who gave it to me?

Wow. Good for Senators Padilla and Booker. They certainly got an education.

Posting this as a general note: I continue to see people responding to my posts with suggestions that ICE and CBP officers are deputized right wing militia, or J6ers, or things like that. I want to emphasize again that there is NO evidence for this. Not a single credible source has confirmed it.

My goal is for everyone to read Haidt's book and follow him.

Congress eliminated public media funding. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together. Help keep it strong. Join our monthly donors today: n.pr/458sOhq

Wow. History still repeating.

One of my state's senators is against the Big Bullsh*t Bill. Good for him. Thank you, @fetterman.senate.gov

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

I need to remember this. I'm learning about AI as a teacher, the ways it can help me to do my job, and the ways some of my students use it to avoid having to think. But it is a technician at best...not the origin of unique ideas and creativity.

•••••BREAKING••••• Army Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla — who leads U.S. Central Command — used a secure U.S. government system to send Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth classified information regarding Houthi attack plans that Hegseth promptly turned around and leaked on his personal phone via…

Cool photo. Prescient message...in rhyme, no less.

Read the book and watch the video whether you're a parent, a teacher, or not. We are ALL affected by distracted, anxious children.

I’ve been sort of idly keeping track of all the points in the Declaration of Independence’s bill of particulars that arguably apply to the Trump Admin. This is the first four-in-a-row I’ve hit. www.archives.gov/founding-doc...

The first happy event in a very long time. Darth is out of hibernation!

Come on, America. It's time.

America, let's do this.

Isn't it time for @darthbluesky.bsky.social to come out of hibernation? The world needs him.

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. Zelenskyy said a deal with Russia is pointless w/o security guarantees. Here’s why: Kyiv made this mistake before. Moscow broke ceasefire after Minsk agreements. International lawyer Oleksandr watched it all unfold.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.
