Just a few weeks ago, the administration cancelled all remaining department of energy grid resilience projects in Puerto Rico. All of them. www.latitudemedia.com/news/the-end...

By late Friday afternoon, the Department of Homeland Security put out a statement saying authorities had received Abreu-Vasquez's medications and that ICE would work to ensure he received them. But on Sunday afternoon, his wife told MPR News that he still hadn't received the life-saving medication.

What… race?

Why is the Trump Administration fighting harder to arrest 5-year-old children than pedophiles in the Epstein files?

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress. “She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me. But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

You may recall that in January of 2025, artist Ann Telnaes announced that she had quit The Washington Post after editors killed a cartoon that depicted owner Jeff Bezos, among others, genuflecting to Trump. This cartoon feels even more relevant this week.

The Washington Post—for which I wrote editorials for nearly a decade—has closed its Kyiv bureau. @lawfaremedia.org has not—and we will not. We now employ more people in Kyiv than the Washington Post. Let me tell you about what we have done in Ukraine over the past year and why we are not leaving

WCK is working with local partners in Morocco to support communities impacted by devastating flooding. More than 140,000 people have been forced to evacuate and schools, businesses, and roadways have closed in some areas. Read More: wck.org/news/morocco... #ChefsForMorocco

CIA responds publicly to Sen Wyden's cryptic letter of concern, calling it a "badge of honor," something staff in the past might have said in jest, quietly, behind closed doors, but never in a release by the public affairs office! Congressional oversight, from both parties, is vital to our security.

I don’t like this

How strange.

I’m actually quite moved by how swiftly she pivots away from her own grief and trauma - real and justified though it is - to remind us not to take our eyes off the women who were assaulted

Troublemaker is my middle name.

A non-journalist friend asked me — is losing 300 people from a newsroom a lot? I pointed out there are about 200 journalists at the Philadelphia Inquirer and about 100 at the Baltimore Banner. Imagine losing both those publications in a day.

This country is going through an IQ test and it’s not going well

Total meltdown. Unbelievable, yet believable!

From January 6 to Alex Pretti, Republicans have continued to twist reality in service of one man and to the disservice of the rest of us and our democracy. We need to continue to speak the truth and call them out on it every. single. time.

And why the hell don't they speak up for each other? Why doesn't the next person up ASK THE SAME QUESTION? Or ask about why the question is being evaded? Or ask why it's okay to speak to someone that way? But nope, most important to stay in DJTs good graces and to get to ask *your* question

Martinez ends her testimony with this: "If there's not justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government."

This is the second public forum hosted by Sen. Blumenthal and Rep. Garcia as part of their ongoing inquiry into allegations of Department of Homeland Security abuse and overreach. You can watch the first public forum from Dec. 9 here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Urg4...

Marimar Martinez, shot by federal agents in Chicago, testifying in Washington today:

Hello. Do you know that African Asylum seekers - two of whom are people I know, one who escaped enslavement and the other saw her father killed in front of her - are being told in court that they will be sent to Uganda for processing? And now their attorneys have to fight that?

The children that were imprisoned from Liam Ramos’ school at the time he was imprisoned are still imprisoned as far as I know.

Ukraine was rocked by a massive overnight Russian assault, with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles slamming into the country’s energy system. Rescue and recovery operations are continuing across the country.

and despite doing this for so long she was adamantly anti-doomerism

Up at Silverwood Park in St Anthony, MN, they built an ice carousel. Drill a hole in the ice, put in an outboard motor, cut the ice in a big circle, fire up the outboard, ice carousel. People do fun weird shit outside in Minnesota all winter long. Park was packed. It’s delightful here.

Massive win for the people: a federal judge granted a restraining order in our Members’ lawsuit against ICE’s unlawful effort to obstruct congressional oversight. This is a big victory for accountability and we’re going to use our rights and keep fighting for all Members' right to conduct oversight.

From FB regarding Pizza Luce in Minnesota. I like it when I can do something to help people displaced by ICE and then after I do that thing I get to eat a pizza.

Stunning details in testimony submitted by @vermontgmg.bsky.social to the Illinois Accountability Commission. It concerns the history, record and culture of CBP and Border Patrol. Worth a read, from beginning to end. drive.google.com/file/d/1y0im...

In many of the first generation of modern concentration camp systems (near the turn of the twentieth century), the vast majority of deaths were caused by disease and malnutrition. Most of the victims were women and children.

@anntelnaes.bsky.social Succinct. Powerful.

In 1995 Mariah Carey wrote and recorded ‘Someone’s Ugly Daughter,’ a grunge/alt-rock album inspired by L7 and Sleater-Kinney that was released under the name Chick. Last night Foo Fighters and Taylor Momsen reunited to cover two songs from it. stereogum.com/2487285/foo-...

This reminds me, did we ever find out what happened to all the historic and culturally significant things that were in the east wing of the White House? Did they get reduced to rubble?

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

"When in doubt, draw a distinction." Not sure where he got it, but in grad school one of my teachers taught me that. This (long) thread is about the key distinctions I rely on as a critic. There's a Twitter version from 2021. This one builds on that one. I will post them one at a time. Ready?

If some guy stole my shit and made millions off it while wiping out my job prospects, and you, as my friend, bought that guy's cheap mass market replica of my shit, you and i would for obvious reasons have a problem. It being a massive company, not a guy, actually makes it even more of a problem.
