White House rolls out an obvious distraction and here’s the most powerful Democrat in the country clapping like a seal

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

Targeted Small Drone Attacks on Civilians: A Global OSINT Picture

TSA workers have gone without pay for more than five weeks as the partial shutdown stretches on.

New Mexico got a historic $375 million jury verdict in the first of several cases nationwide against Meta. The jury decided against Meta on every count, though it declined to award a penalty as high as the state sought, which would have been closer to $2 billion.

ICE is supposed to be helping TSA at American airports. We didn’t see that at JFK. Read more: www.theverge.com/policy/89985...

BREAKING: Iranian military spokesperson mocks U.S. attempts at a ceasefire deal, insisting that the Americans are only negotiating with themselves. The comments come shortly after the Trump administration sent a 15-point ceasefire plan to Iran through Pakistan.

US senator seeks perjury investigation into Kristi Noem over DHS spending

The thing about the U.S. and Israel is that both of their leaders are trying to stay out of prison.

Seems to be the pattern…

Happening now: a protest in Chicago's federal plaza is underway in response to US and Israeli strikes on Iran earlier today. Chicago Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez just addressed the crowd, which I'd put at a couple hundred people strong. A lone counterprotestor is also posted up across the street.

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls. But since she asked, "Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States." www.militaryonesource.mil/education-em...

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now. Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

I am closely monitoring the ongoing military operations in Iran. International military actions have a direct and profound impact on Maryland’s families and communities. I served in Afghanistan and I’ve seen who pays the price when Washington rushes into conflict.

Never gets old.

They all just wanted in on it. “Swamp,” my ass.

Somehow, I missed this movie when it came out, wow, it’s bad in so many ways. So much money spent and so much worse than the original.

NEW: The FDA has removed a webpage warning about dangerous therapies claiming to treat autism. It’s part of a series of actions the agency has taken under RFK Jr. to discredit long-established science. By @megomatz.bsky.social

NEW: The DOJ built its case to seize Fulton County’s election records on recycled, debunked conspiracy theories, experts say. Former prosecutors and election experts are questioning how in the world a judge found probable cause.

NEW: Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff ‘joked’ with employees who had traveled to the United States for a Salesforce all-hands meeting that ICE agents were in the building keeping tabs on them, 404 Media has learned.

As more files from the Epstein case are released, I'm sickened by the extent of his depravity and his connections to so many powerful people. Governments around the globe are being shaken by the mentions of their leaders in the files, and the U.S. should apply the same scrutiny to our leaders.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Several fall ‘deathly ill’ from suspected Las Vegas bio lab

While there have always been dubious pardons for political cronies, “unprecedented” doesn’t begin to describe how Donald Trump has corrupted the power of presidential forgiveness.

The guy who owns Amazon shutting down the books section of the Washington Post is beyond parody

Online Culture Is the Whole Culture — Angry Planet overcast.fm/+AAznUL59B3c There was a time, just before the pandemic, when folks would say “Twitter isn’t real life” as a means of dismissing the horrors of social media.

Bernice King has it absolutely right. We are facing a moral crisis in this country. And we must all act together to end it.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

DOJ has since killed this link. This is what was there:

The Trump Administration claims the agents who shot Alex Pretti have been put on administrative leave, notwithstanding Greg Bovino’s prior short statement that they were simply reassigned. There is no reason to credit this assertion as truthful. /1

Important. There has not been a deescalation.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization. This is a shameful move that puts both Americans and people all over the world at greater risk from disease outbreaks, which require international collaboration to contain.

“I started screaming with everything I had, because I couldn’t even breathe,” 10th grader Arnoldo Bazan told ProPublica, showing where the agent’s hands had closed around his throat. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die.” By @nicolefoy.bsky.social and @mckenziefunk.com
