Cyanide was never toxic. It’s in apple seeds. We eat apples. Beautiful apples. We thrive with more cyanide. A cyanide a day keeps the doctor away. We’ve always said that. American cyanide.

Howdy folks, I've never shown my ID to ride the Amtrak, let alone commuter rail. If you don't choo choo regularly you might not know this is just a straight up lie.

When you're sitting in a public meeting, taking diligent notes and hear a county commissioner go "maybe the media isn't interested anymore..."

People just don't realize how beautiful Davenport, Iowa really is

"Images obtained by CBS News appear to show the zip ties and bruised wrists of Anabel Romero's 14-year-old daughter SueHey, a U.S. citizen who was tending to her 6- and 8-year-old siblings when the agents descended on the crowd in military-style gear and herded them into a confined area."

You are allowed to say, "this performance was not to my personal taste, a thing that sometimes happens in a free society," and move on with your life.

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship. Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

Who could've predicted the correct score? Just one person out of around 4,000: Alex, @datboiial77 on X. Congratulations to Super Bowl Sunday's Washingtonian of the Day!

I stand for the flag 🇵🇷

U.S. Rep. Kelly Morrison said detainees at the Whipple Federal Building outside Minneapolis are sleeping on the concrete floor with tinfoil-like blankets. Morrison was able to tour the immigration detention facility to observe conditions after a previous attempt was denied. Video by Alex Kormann

Man, there sure are a whole lot of people close the president of the United States of American doing some pretty racist things these days I sure wonder what sort of effect it has on this country's direction and the policies/actions proposed by the president of the United States of America

Buckle up, folks. Looks like we're in for a doozy. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Fact check: We are.

Great work by Greg Sargent. We are, right now, deciding whether we want to be a land of giant concentration camps and ethnic cleanings. newrepublic.com/article/2060...

Jeff Bezos wants the Washington Post brand but not Washington Post journalists. He trying to buy credibility and an audience while avoiding accountability

And yet still nearly a decade younger than Chuck Grassley

My wife sent me this video because she (rightly) thought it was ridiculous. Unbeknownst to her, however, this is literally the bowling alley I grew up with and I remember seeing these on live television as a child. Shout out to Colonial Lanes in Iowa City Freakin’ Iowa

we used some expiring flight credits to escape to the big island in a desperate attempt to briefly escape the horrors and find the sun, and just, wow. it is a privilege to visit such a beautiful place. so grateful to the people of Hawai'i for stewarding such an incredible part of our planet

Today in unexpected weather news: Cliff Mass is mentioned in the Epstein files. It's just his blog being sent to Epstein by former Microsoft employee Tren Griffin but still pretty wild.

Exactly. A lot of people rightly note that Bezos could easily afford to fund the Post until infinity, but that misses the point that those in the ruling class have generally, correctly assessed that quality, righteous journalism is a problem for them

MacKenzie Scott has the chance to do the funniest thing right now.

If you are able, The Post's union has started a layoff fund for those fired by the world's fourth-richest man today. gofund.me/a310d0286

Unbelievable

Once more the president of the United States avoids questions about a pedophile ring (the leader and members of which he’s heavily linked to) by insulting the journalist asking them

The western U.S. faces its lowest snowpack on record despite average or above-average rainfall. Warmer temperatures mean more precipitation falls as rain rather than snow, and will worsen droughts in areas like the Pacific Northwest and the Colorado River Basin. science.nasa.gov/earth/earth-...

And today the Treasury Department told me it wouldn't expedite processing of a FOIA for the agreement allowing Qatar to hold the money because it couldn't identify an immediate public interest. To help out Treasury: It rhymes with corruption. It's also spelled the same as corruption.

Colorado coal plant owner says Trump's Energy Department emergency order to keep the plant running violates the Constitution - calls an "uncompensated taking." @sambrasch.bsky.social @cprnews.bsky.social www.cpr.org/2026/01/30/c...

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017 and now wants $10 billion because a leaker pointed that out www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Welcome to a world where America First is coming to mean America Alone, whose friends are searching for alternatives to what increasingly feels like an abusive relationship and whose enemies are gloating. www.wsj.com/world/how-am...

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society. How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.

Very interesting developments in LA and Portland. It will be interesting to see if the feds are forced to send agents from Minnesota to other places they're now under pressure. Follow @opb.org and @alexbaumhardt.bsky.social on the ground for developments.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order Saturday ordering Chicago police to investigate alleged abuses by federal immigration agents for potential felony prosecution.

Today I announced an initial set of actions to protect city residents in the face of increased federal immigration enforcement activity. #thisisyourcity

As of today we have a new record low snowpack for the Upper Colorado River basin for late January.

hey, y'all. my name is madi and i'm a reporter for the minnesota reformer. i cover the trump administration's impact on minnesotans, which means i've been out on the streets covering ICE in the twin cities. let me walk you through how we got here:

Seattle schools “shelter in place” amid reported ICE activity www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

"Battalions of armed federal agents are moving thru neighborhoods, transit hubs, malls & parking lots & staging near churches, mosques & schools. Strangers w/guns have metastasized in spaces where daily life should be routine & safe... like a military occupation." www.startribune.com/editorial-mi...
