When Admiral Alvin Holsey raised concerns about the legality of the strikes on the alleged drug boats in the Caribbean, Pete Hegseth gave him an ultimatum. “You’re either on the team or you’re not,” Hegseth reportedly told Holsey. “When you get an order, you move out fast and don’t ask questions.”

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

having worked on vaccine education initiatives for a considerable part of my career, i can attest how much Wakefield alarms medical experts because of his recklessness & willingness to lie. to call this dangerous is an understatement...

This. This is precisely why I requested an independent investigation into the excessive use of force by Trump's agents in Chicago. Read some of this stuff Trump's agents are doing and how DHS is lying about it to mislead the public. It's harrowing.

If any school can claim the title of America’s “college of influencers,” it’s the University of Miami. Plenty of schools funnel marketing dollars toward student creators as a recruiting tool. But influencing can also be messy and unpredictable. https://wapo.st/4oeU98k

And yes, I wrote a full book about Jamal Khashoggi and his murder. Delivered edits, everything. Until my editors at Harper Collins completely disappeared and stopped work on my manuscript, forcing me to pull it. www.thedailybeast.com/harpercollin...

“Lots of people will actually die,” @zekeemanuel.bsky.social warns now that Obamacare subsidies are set to expire at the end of the year. “Republicans have had 15 years since the passage of the [ACA] and haven’t come up with a replacement.” #Velshi

i use em dashes so gotdamn much when i write because they *are* the perfect offset mechanism (who needs a mothafuckin' set of parentheses)... I'm about to start leaning heavily into ellipses...see how your dumbasses like that....

If you have to get permission to teach in your area of expertise from people who are definitionally not qualified to adjudicate your expertise then you are no longer working at a university. You’re working at a state propaganda factory.

Alvin Bragg has won a second term race for DA of Manhattan. The Democrat, who prosecuted Trump last year, was facing two challengers who were targeting him for going too far toward criminal justice reforms. (The Republican nominee here was a prominent anti-trans voice.)

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

some (unnamed) political party should be careful not to squander this potentially short moment of public-inspired momentum...

i really wish whoever shaped the "Introducing MSNOW" ad campaign really wrestled a little harder with the tension of leading off every TV ad by saying there's a big change afoot, w/ the rest of the ad detailing that everything is staying the same...minus the name... ...🤷🏾🫠

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I grieve that I have to reiterate this, but it is his actual job to pay attention to things like this, and the next question should be about whether Johnson thinks it’s acceptable not to do his job and be aware of key details of the president’s actions and behavior.

I would like for national political reporters to place a moratorium on “But what will voters in the rest of America think about New York City’s socialist mayor?” We don’t care! Red states are notably full of psycho politicians yet rarely do you see pundits asking Brooklyn people about them.

New @politico.com poll: 24% of American believes that there are some instances where political violence is justified. There was little partisan divide in that belief. But younger Americans were more likely to say violence can be justified.

jaw dropped when i read this. the gall to assert that using military equipment to murder civilians wouldn't be characterized as "hostilities"...
