When journalists asked me "where we will see the effects of DOGE on outcomes?" one of my responses was "during crises...as long as media connect the dots." Well, dots connected: www.wired.com/story/cdc-cy...

Stories behind those dramatic photos of folks fleeing wildfires by boat. The real drama may be what comes next.

This @nicolefroio.bsky.social feature on hedonistic tourism in the Global South is one of my all-time favorites of hers, and a read on destructive tourism I recommend all the time. So glad we're reprinting at @theflytrapmedia.com as part of our Bitch Media reprint project.

So, in order to Dodge Epstein

Can we never let go of the fact that DOGE was one of the biggest scams in American history?

It’s 2026. Trump is president and once again he spent an entire speech talking about losing in 2020, when he was president, before complaining about how he might lose the midterms, when he’ll still be president. Apparently, the deep state only exists when he’s in charge.

Like….everybody shut the fuck up and stop fighting. You are taking the wrong fucking lesson from this border-crossing smoke nightmare. The lesson is *all of earth’s ecosystems are entwined, borders mean nothing, all emitters are culpable, this is an EARTH PROBLEM NOT A COUNTRY PROBLEM*.

NEW: Sports betting companies DraftKings, FanDuel, bet365 & Fanatics dropped $29m into a super PAC called Win for America in the 2nd quarter, bringing the total raised to $70m this year.

Also, issues with smoke exposure aren't always respiratory. You might notice brain fog, irritability, fatigue, and feeling just overall prickly and gross. Stay inside as much as possible, stay hydrated, and support mutual aid orgs serving unhoused people and outdoor workers!

BREAKING: A teen Chicago police employee resigned under fire after they wore a Nazi uniform and “goose-stepped” at their high school while performing a “Sieg Heil” salute. Another CPD member was fired for showing photos of the teen dressed as a Nazi at work, records show. @wttw.bsky.social

MAGA believes the Reflecting Pool was destroyed by invisible vandals, not Trump's motorcade—even though we have pictures of tire tracks in the freshly laid sealant. MAGA believes the 2020 election was stolen—even though there is ZERO evidence of this. These are not people tethered to reality.

Marina Lacerda, an Epstein survivor, pushes back on Todd Blanche “He has not met with any of us. And today he was asked if he was going and was willing to meet with us, and he said it was illegal for him to meet with us without legal counsel. Which I find it obnoxious.”

Facebook memories popped up today reminding me of this trip.

This is Joan Sebastian Guerrero, the 26-year-old Colombian father and husband murdered by ICE fascists in broad daylight in front of his 3-year-old daughter. He was NOT the target of the ICE warrant. He was documented. He did everything right. ICE murdered him anyway. And yet… 1/2

Rachel Maddow’s description of Juan Sebastian Guerrero killed by ICE in Maine is a must see. She explains what happened w/out being graphic, and somehow that makes it even more powerful. Remember Alex, Pretti, and Renée? There have been no prosecutions. Still no justice. We know how this goes.

There's no reforming this rogue and monstrous agency. The only way forward: Abolish and prosecute ICE.

After a cost of more than $1 billion, the Everglades concentration camp has been removed from the airstrip where it once stood.

ICE killed another person.

A russian guided aerial bomb killed a 13-year-old Ukrainian athlete Ulyana Vorona. Meanwhile, the International Olympic Committee lifted all restrictions on russian athletes that had been in place since 2022. ==============

The Thorn Birds

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Specifically, a protest song about how the sons of the rich were able to avoid fighting, like fighting-age Donald Trump who got four deferments for being in college and another for bone spurs.

The natural history collections at the University of Texas, holding maybe 5 million specimens, is partly closed down because our buildings are falling apart and UT is doing the bare minimum of life support. We could fix it for 1/5th the price of a vanity purchase of a single dinosaur specimen.

what a welcome home for the NORWEGIAN national team i still believe that 1 pass that was NOT made in that game would have sent the team into the SEMIS if it wasn't for jealousy towards HAALAND but for a population of 5.6MM...they definitely punch above their weight 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano keeps sending field offices packages of chocolate-covered pretzels made by his daughter's company, Pretzables. Staff say the gesture isn't increasing morale, but it is raising ethics questions.

Sen. Roger Marshall is not an intelligent man. This is painful to watch. I have no idea why he agrees to go on CNN and make clear to everyone that he's a fool.

Sorry, all! I got the day wrong. Before Trump makes his announcement THURSDAY (not tonight), please read this gift article about the last time he tried to seize voting machines, and notice which guardrails are no longer in place. www.nytimes.com/2022/01/31/u...

Hm, are we going back to dudes in loincloths ONLY for sports?

I’m just going to point out that many, many, many people have been predicting for literally years that this was the next step after the fake trans panic. You cannot endorse the policing of anyone else’s body and expect that yours will remain free.
