One of my favorite parts of this project was scooping up the www.nytimes.lgbt domain and using it to host the data dashboard. Check it out!

NEW: Trump administration officials earlier this year killed a federal criminal investigation into the coal empire owned by Sen. Jim Justice, the Republican former governor of West Virginia and a close ally of the president’s. By @justinelliott.bsky.social @josh-kaplan.bsky.social

Trump's Department of Homeland Security has awarded more than $19.4 billion in border wall contracts in the past six months — compared with $2.1 billion from 2016 to 2024. Most of it has gone to two firms that have ties to the White House and the Republican Party, according to a WaPo analysis.

That's not even his final form

New: Regretful cities are literally covering their Flock cameras with black trash bags because they cannot figure out how to immediately exit their surveillance contracts or get the cameras taken down: www.404media.co/cities-are-c...

the trump official — who led the siege & occupation of Minneapolis — admitting to having an ongoing dialogue/rapport with Martin Sellner, a straight-up Nazi who influenced the Christchurch shooter, while speaking at a conference about remigration (read: ethnic cleansing) is a pretty big deal!

This New Yorker cartoon is accurate but a gut punch.

From the reporter who scooped the news that Treasury's GC was quitting, IRS wrote a 25-page memo about why Trump's IRS lawsuit was dogshit. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/a...

via @hissgoescobra.bsky.social Listen to the judge at Tina Peters's trial give a searing condemnation of her crimes and behavior in Court. Compare this to what Polis is trying to spin today, in order to justify the bended knee to Trump and his shortcutting of the judicial process:

Little Steven Van Zandt is on Fallon at the same time as Dave Grohl on Colbert. Boomer dilemmas!

It’s telling that absolutely nobody can convince him to not brag about constantly being administered dementia tests.

As a political holiday, May Day began in Chicago after the Haymarket Massacre in 1886 when workers demanded an eight hour workday. It’s “as American as apple pie.”

There is absolutely no way anyone in the administration will understand a joke about the French and Indian War. That’s half the joke.🔥🔥🔥

“Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery—the greatest material interest of the world,” Mississippi’s 1861 Declaration of Secession declared. Once again, the Mississippi governor has declared April as Confederate Heritage Month. buff.ly/1JqEwko

Billions in foreign real estate deals while serving as head of state. Billions in crypto deals while gutting regulation of the industry. Suing his own government and negotiating a settlement funded by the taxpayers. We're so numb to Trump grifting off the presidency that hardly anyone notices.

New: We found out how much money Nick Fuentes makes from "superchats": $900,000 since the start of Trump's second term. Here's the story of Kristine in Ohio, a food-truck operator who became his most frequent donor, despite not making much money herself: wapo.st/4mERkhv

It's reverse Robin Hood.

Was so pumped to get into the #LA28 Olympic queue today. So, no tickets AT ALL to basketball, swimming, gymnastics, cycling, beach volleyball, tennis, fencing, ping pong. Some track for $682 on slow days, $1,116 for days with finals. Each session half a day. Went in '84 and '96, not sure about '28.

Remember when Senile Satan was a “nurse” last June?

I'm going to take the win. I have a lotta quibbles and two major critiques, but this is significant. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/u...

The latest “innovation” from the Wash Post editorial page: a newsletter on the horrors of govt regulation, like the “inexplicable” cancellation of the Keystone pipeline, by both Obama and Biden.

Happy War Crimes Day to all who celebrate.

HAPPENING NOW: ❌👑 Thousands of people in DC are marching to Fort McNair where Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi, and other leaders of this regime are living #NoKings #NoKingsDC

I pity the fool who has to break this to Nancy Mace

Boy @theonion.com is bringing the heat.

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining. A senseless, criminal waste

“No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.” www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...

It’s obscene to have this draft dodger whose children *never* served and whose father never served and whose grandfather was kicked out of Germany for dodging service, wheezing platitudes about the unnecessary deaths he caused to other people’s children who did serve their country.

It looks like DC is selling out Nats Park for the Bruce Springsteen “No Kings” tour finale. (Except for the irrationally priced “platinum tickets.”) He did not sell it out last time he was here. This is gonna be good.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

House Speaker Mike Johnson denied a request for the late Jesse Jackson to lie in honor at the U.S. Capitol. “Mike Johnson will defend a president who wants to unlawfully nationalize elections but won’t authorize a civil rights legend to lie in honor,” said NAACP President Derrick Johnson.

Scoop: "Judge" Jeanine has empanelled a grand jury in DC to indict Supreme Court Justices. Charges to be determined later.

Hello, I’m from the government, and I’d like to see what it’s going to take to get you and your community into one of our lovely new ICE immigrant detention facilities! www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

A warrant “every time”? So unfair! So, uh, legally required.

Friends, please track down and watch “The Apostle,” a film Duvall worked for many years to get made and will truly blow you away.

I want to weep for Ilia Malinin. Seems like such a good kid. Just wasn’t his day. Man that was tough to watch. #quadgod #2030olympics

Feel obligated to report that I am in The Epstein Files. A reference in someone’s resume to a story I wrote in 2017 about sex trafficking and Backpage. My career is now complete.

With the cuts at the Post, had to talk w legendary @tomjackmanwp.bsky.social about the importance of covering local crime and courts. I chased his stories for years — nobody did it better. wtop.com/local/2026/0...

Democracy dies of heatstroke. What a tool Bezos is--imagining having that kind of money and still being afraid of Dear Leader. www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/washington...

Jeff Bezos said this in Feb. 2019, when his words often gave us reassurance that he had everyone's back, even after several years of Trump I. What happened?

What an atrocious, disgusting act by Bezos, Will Lewis and Matt Murray. Crushed for all my friends and colleagues wrongly laid off today, sad for all Post readers who lose so much quality journalism.

A retiree wrote this email to a DHS attorney. Within five hours, DHS demanded Google turn over records for his account. A Kafkaesque form of domestic surveillance, intimidating Americans for lawful speech. New from us at the Post: www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio... @johnwoodrowcox.bsky.social

It's excruciating to watch Jeff Bezos dangle massive layoffs over the immensely talented Local and Sports staffs of the @washingtonpost. The Local staff has been steadily reduced for years, despite constantly great reporting, and Sports is the reason I buy the paper. #SavethePost
