What does the car sound like with Liam inside? Does the ICE agent stay quiet while he sobs? Does he try to comfort Liam? Or get frustrated and lash out at the five-year-old’s despair? Does the agent secure his seatbelt? Is Liam big enough to not need a car seat? sahanjournal.com/education/ic...

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center. Read the full story here: www.propublica.org/article/vide...

Hey y’all! REMINDER: I am LEGALLY OBLIGATED to award at least one scholarship to a Louisiana woman. And no Louisiana women have applied. This happens every year where we have to beg women in my own state to apply and Idk why. We’re in our 6th cycle! Come get this money! ThurmanPerryFoundation.org

"What a year for the ultra wealthy. The world’s 500 richest people added a record $2.2 trillion to their collective fortunes in 2025’s… booming markets, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. And about a quarter of this year’s gains went to just eight billionaires.” — Bloomberg Morning Brief

Dr. Thomas C. Weiner, the oncologist who was the subject of my 2024 ProPublica investigation, will never again practice medicine in the state of Montana. One victim’s widow: “It’s definitely welcomed news — very happy to hear it — but with the caveat that this whole thing took way too long.”

I think people are trying to apply cultural scripts that don't fit the facts. Nuzzi isn't a victim of RFK or Lizza. She was the agent of the wrongdoing at play here and faced basically zero consequences (a year off, a book deal, a Vanity Fair gig). This isn't an Unfairly Maligned Woman story.
