The U.S. Has Murdered More Than 190 People in Boat Strikes. Two more were killed on Friday and one remains missing. We’re tracking them all, @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/11/17/t...

Pete Hegseth Secretary of War Crimes & Serial Killers

The U.S. killed two more people in a boat strike in the Pacific Ocean yesterday. One person is still missing. 193 people are now dead from extrajudicial boat strikes.

The DOJ is now treating evading a records request as a crime, a stunning act of hypocrisy from the Trump administration.

It's just one example of many of the crypto sector trying to elect industry-friendly officials.

Trump and Hegseth can't get enough of their murderboat snuff films

Given the Trump admin’s "open hostility to journalism and its novel legal tactics to attack the press, it’s entirely possible that the next target of financial censorship could be a news outlet," @reitman.bsky.social, FPF board president, wrote in @theintercept.com.

SCOTUS's fatal blow to the VRA has sparked a new wave of redistricting. In quick succession, Southern states began redrawing their maps to eliminate majority-Black districts. Journalist @ariberman.bsky.social and Tennessee Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social explain the right’s “power grab.”

Blocking donations to the SPLC based on this bogus indictment is wrong on every level. My new article in the Intercept: theintercept.com/2026/05/08/s...

“We had believed we were there for a high moral purpose. But somehow our idealism was lost, our morals corrupted and the purpose forgotten.” He wrote one of the great American Vietnam War memoirs and was an exceptional war reporter. RIP Philip Caputo. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/b...

Is your war going south? Do you need to change the narrative? Time to trot out the 👽👽👽👽

“One of Trump’s standard plays with respect to Iran is resorting to belligerent threats of potentially illegal violence in the hopes of coercing Tehran,” Brian Finucane, a senior adviser for the U.S. Program at the International Crisis Group, said.

"Misogyny is not a secondary issue. It is foundational to the entire right-wing project."

Sightline Intelligence, a firm focused on AI video processing, has made at least 10 shipments of hardware to the Israeli weapons giant Elbit Systems since 2024, according to investigators with the Movement Research Unit. interc.pt/3PdloV0

A former EEOC chair said, “They’re putting out their best facts in this complaint, and the facts are pathetic.”

This is a total lie. The Pentagon's own statistics - courtesy of Acting Assistant Secretary of War for Homeland Defense and Americas Security Affairs Joseph Humire - contradict Trump's claim that “drugs entering our country by sea are down 97 percent.” Full story: theintercept.com/2026/05/04/t...

Subtle.

Of course he did....

Meanwhile on Truth Social, more ridiculousness Plus, as @bcfinucane.bsky.social has pointed out, Trump's State Department says that the Iran War is actually "part of an armed conflict with Iran that has been ongoing for years and, at the least, since June 2025.” www.justsecurity.org/137097/state...

Tired: "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" Wired: "He thinks it's going to lead to things."

oh my

From "unconditional surrender" to "So I think we won... It's very possible we'll make a deal."

"We have to make an excursion down to Iran"

That's actually true. They signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1968.

Am I really living through this?

"A president for peace" An analysis by @theintercept.com found that the “peace” president has embroiled the U.S. in more than 20 military interventions, armed conflicts, and wars. theintercept.com/2026/03/30/t...

We discuss the ruling in the podcast this week, and what it actually means to live in a country where the states are allowed to disenfranchise voters of color en masse.

A reminder: these murders aren't even accomplishing the Trump administration's stated aims. The boats are NOT smuggling fentanyl The strikes have NOT halted 97% of cocaine shipments Trump’s Killing Spree Is NOT Stopping the Flow of Drugs to the U.S. theintercept.com/2026/05/04/t...

The Pentagon has launched a cover-up of the casualty count in the Iran War, The Intercept reports. 15 casualties are now not included and at least one reported death Major Sorffly Davius is missing from the official tally. The system tracking casualties may be omitting hundreds of injuries.

Trump Has Already Spent at Least $4.7 Billion Attacking Latin America

What a big fat surprise. We all thought extrajudicial murder was going to solve everything. Stupidest timeline ever.

“The claim that sinking each cocaine smuggling boat saves 25,000 lives makes no sense,” said retired Rear Adm. William Baumgartner. “That would probably be more than the number of cocaine deaths in the last five decades combined.” theintercept.com/2026/05/04/t...

The buck stops... over there.

People are paying more and out of cash. Is this the "so much winning" we were promised?

The war is over! Or it isn't! Or we're in a ceasefire! Or we're not. Well, we haven't ceased fire. And neither have they. Anyway, Epic Fury is done. Or maybe not. But Project Freedom has started. And now it's paused. But we're going to break their blockade. By imposing a blockade.

NEW: Trump's claims that attacks on civilian boats are curbing the drug trade are "laughable," experts say. “We don’t use missiles to address a public health problem,” IPS scholar @sanho.bsky.social tells @nickturse.bsky.social in @theintercept.com. "Being tough is not the same as being effective.”

A crypto mogul gave $2.5 million to a candidate running against state Sen. Nicole Cannizzaro in the Nevada attorney general race.
