It's been a terrible two days to be a woman on the internet. It's been an even worse two days to be a woman on the internet who generally aligns with progressive values and politics. /

Excited to learn about how roughing a woman up and confining her in a room that you do not allow her to leave, between bouts of voicing weird elaborate rape fantasies, is the kind of working class authenticity that the Democrats really need and a reason to like him *more* actually.

some men aren't even NOTICING the story is about classic domestic abuse, that's how little they care about women

NEW: We obtained a not-yet-public FARA filing revealing how Brad Parscale has directed $13 million from Israel to Republican digital strategy firms run by some of his long time allies/ with @nickclevelandstout.bsky.social theintercept.com/2026/05/28/i...

NEW: After I tracked down a passenger from the MV Hondius traveling through several countries after leaving the ship after the hantavirus outbreak began, I discovered New York hadn't been alerted to the Manhattan resident as a possible contact case. theintercept.com/2026/05/15/c...

NEW: I discovered that a second American woman jet-setted around the globe after leaving the MV Hondius in late April, traveling through at least four countries before attending an international conference in Vietnam. jacquelinesweet.substack.com/p/a-second-w...

Told you this first here yesterday! Public Health said it is also aware of a third King County resident who was a passenger on the MV Hondius cruise ship. That resident is asymptomatic and is being monitored for symptoms...national quarantine center at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

If anyone is in or knows anyone in New Zealand news or media or public health and can get me in contact, reach out, because I can answer this question (but have like zero New Zealand contacts) www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Radio New Zealand reports an American citizen who is a “hantavirus contact case” flew from San Francisco to Tahiti to remote Pitcairn Island on Thursday without telling anyone and has now been quarantined there after authorities became aware she arrived.

Took it upon myself to identify counties returning cruise ship passengers are from since we aren't being told. We know three in New York from Hochul (Orange, Westchester, NYC) and the doctor from Bend, Oregon I also identified two more: one in Las Vegas, Nevada and one in King County, Washington.

Two more cruise ship passengers test positive for Andes Virus on way home to France and America—HHS tweets scientifically nonsensical claim that the PCR test was “mildly positive.” Still no mandatory quarantine. In 2018 Argentina outbreak people caught this by passing someone on way to bathroom.

No mandatory quarantine and no testing: abcnews.com/Internationa...

The problem with this story is that the judge found Doe fabricated sonograms in her evidence diaries and she and her lawyer were sanctioned for repeatedly lying to the court in a 76-page ruling and even other Epstein plaintiff’s attorneys have said she never met Epstein or Black yet this piece /

Don’t worry everyone, HHS is totally ready to handle a terrifying new disease outbreak, the last deputy director prepared by (checks notes) watching Nick Shirley viral videos

Recently, @dropsitenews.com @jsweetli.bsky.social exposed Canary Mission's secret website. This site proves that CM is based in Israel, with paid employees whose job is to digitally stalk people exercising political speech half a world away. Today, we're sharing it with you: blacknestfiles.org

Back on True Anon! where we talked everything from hasbara to bronyism

NEW: After years operating in almost complete anonymity, the top content producers of Canary Mission have been identified. www.dropsitenews.com/p/canary-mis...

NEW: I found two "news" websites active on X and other platforms—Al-Fassel and Pishtaz News—that are in fact U.S. government-operated anti-Iranian military propaganda mills. Both appear tied to U.S. Central Command. theintercept.com/2026/04/20/p...

Trent Pool, who worked for RFK Jr.'s presidential campaign, got his Manhattan criminal charges dismissed. He was accused of assaulting and choking a 25-year-old woman at a hotel in 2024. /

Over 30 women have come to Cheyenne Hunt with Swalwell stories, she told CBS: "Hunt says she has heard similar accusations from two women, and that more than 30 women have reached out to her with some form of misconduct accusation against Swalwell since she posted her initial video."

As a noticer of things I can’t help but notice a strong positive correlation between men who have been creepy to me in the past and them defending other men’s creepy behavior

Well, I am pretty sure I got the JDL 613 Brotherhood president's real name (and that he lied to The Guardian about his identity) -- Michael John Murphy of Trenton, NJ, age 41, with a felony history. /

Important story about how new DHS head Markwayne Mullin helped coordinate a meeting with election deniers claiming Venezuela interfered in the 2020 election and the Trump campaign in 2024. "Both Byrne and Berntsen said Mullin helped open doors for them at Mar-a-Lago."

Update from David Corn on the DOJ continuing to file in support of Alexander Smirnov’s appeal. I reported in November he had been quietly furloughed even tho judge said he was a flight risk.

Why...did CNN do this

Great

This is a wild, must-read to find out some of the people the Trump pardon-seeking cottage industry is benefiting

Daily Wire reports a doc shows a third company (out of only four) allowed to bid for the Noem ad campaign was a company owned by Kash Patel’s longtime personal publicist and spokesperson.

Time to pull out Jim O'Neill's kidneys walking around seasteading clip, as Nature is reporting Trump plans to nominate him as next leader of the National Science Foundation. Story link below

Following this story's publication, a local reporter found that Rakhi Israni only recently registered as a Democrat from “No Party Preference" in Nov. 2025 and infrequently voted. Someone else tipped me off to the fact that she was endorsed by the 4th largest donor to MAGA Inc/

Here’s Brian McGinnis’ last Instagram video from before the protest

NEW: A Democratic candidate in the primary in Eric Swalwell’s district raised $2M in the first two weeks of her campaign from unknown donors. Rakhi Israni’s personal political donations have gone to over 10 MAGA and far right candidates including Laura Loomer. theintercept.com/2026/03/04/c...

Push from Saudis, Israel helped move Trump to attack Iran www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

As U.S. and Israeli bombs started to fall, Trump took to social media to link the unauthorized military actions with the Big Lie. Trump posted an article asserting that “Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump, and now faces renewed war with United States.”

The second case is an absolutely WILD case about a postal service employee refusing to deliver someone's mail because they are Black. The majority is a conservative win, 5-4, with Gorsuch joining the liberals to dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

ICYMI: We obtained the missing three FBI interviews with the woman who said Epstein and Trump abused her in the early 1980s. The FBI memos reveal unsubstantiated and at times outlandish claims. House Dems opened an investigation earlier this week into why the files were missing from the public files

UPDATE: The plane was towed to the terminal around 3pm. Migrants are reportedly "at the terminal," though it's unclear to me if that means still on the plane or off of it. And if off, unclear if they are still shackled. gillianbrockell.ghost.io/breaking-sha...

This is an interesting story @nytimes.com It was even more interesting when I broke it a week and a day ago in The Intercept which you did not cite or mention.

People who want a fairy tale that they will find some hidden memo of Trump raping kids somewhere emotionally don’t want to contend with the fact that people voted for Trump and all that means and that his banal evil won’t be magically vanquished by some secret revelation to save us all

Jesus Christ. The Susan Hamblin who wrote this 2014 email was not a Mormon woman married in a Seattle temple in 1987. That's who runs the adoption agency, Susan Hamblin Lawrence, a widow with four kids.

ICE plans to lease offices throughout the US as part of a secret, monthslong expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

This story is wrong. It combines two separate women-- the woman Kimbal dated and another anonymous victim from a lawsuit who is seven years younger, as seen in the very documents the story cites. Epstein had more than one female pair marry each other.

A Leonord Leo-linked watchdog group, Americans for Public Trust (APT) did a report on several nonprofits and their grant-making on climate. Then state AGs--led by the chair of the Republican Attorneys General (RAGA) Montana AG Austin Knudsen, a group funded by Leo and big energy-- wrote this letter/

Had to pull out my pencil on paper of Ralph Nader from 10th grade for this one

When Rep Scanlon asked Pam Bondi about NSPM-7 and if she had a list of domestic terrorists in a Congressional hearing this week, Bondi replied by pointing out Kyle Wagner's cyberstalking case.

Update: The federal indictment against Kyle Wagner confirms our reporting, that Wagner was arrested and charged with cyberstalking right-wing agitator Jayden Scott (who allegedly stalked a Minnesota reporter before this) and NOT federal agents. /

NEW: Reps Khanna and Massie pushed the DOJ to unredact a file in the Epstein files. Then Khanna read four men's names from it in a House floor speech, calling them "wealthy and powerful men that the DOJ hid for no apparent reason." / www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Is Extinction Rebellion NYC on Pam Bondi's Secret Domestic Terrorist List? After the DOJ dodged questions for months, Bondi acknowledged in a House Judiciary Committee hearing that she had a list of targets under NPSM-7. theintercept.com/2026/02/12/p...

Trump’s EPA repeals landmark climate finding in gift to ‘billionaire polluters’. Endangerment finding rollback will make families ‘sicker and less safe’, environmental advocate says. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

SCOOP: An FBI counterterrorism agent spent weeks pursuing a nonviolent climate activist, and showed up at his door. The visit suggests a possible probe into the climate group as the Trump admin increases surveillance of activists, calls them domestic "terrorists." theintercept.com/2026/02/12/f...
