WHOA. Lewandowski is accused of demanding fees from a private prison company to steer them ICE contracts, at a time when he was widely known to be running DHS on Kristi Noem's behalf, then punishing them when they didn't pay up. Congress should conduct a full and bipartisan investigation into this.

The Wrap is reporting Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav is set to make $887 million when the deal closes for Paramount to buy his company. So I guess that's the going rate for selling out democracy and a free press. https://loom.ly/2gJjJoI

This is a lie on a scale of Elon Musk saying he would cut the deficit to zero. Just insane. Not just untrue, but the opposite of the truth, which is that immigrants are lowering the deficit. www.cato.org/white-paper/...

Having a hard time believing this ides of March story, you're telling me senators did something other than send out fundraising texts

This is such Mickey Mouse nonsense.

Can’t believe nobody wanted to read the articles nobody bothered to write

Can anyone explain how this is not a quid-pro-quo bribe? Especially since US law demanded the transfer of TikTok’s US operations as the one way to avoid a ban. Big donors to the president got the company as the govt forced the sale, and he gets $10 billion. If not a bribe, why so bribe-shaped?

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

This is straight out of fallout.

what a fuckin video game

The UN's Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine has concluded the the deportation and forcible transfer of Ukrainian children by Russian authorities, as well as enforced disappearances, amount to crimes against humanity. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

Cities in Vermont and Maine are experiencing some of the same tactics that ICE has been using across Minnesota since December, and facing lots of resistance.

Tarrio is, quite literally, a pardoned terrorist.

Reasons a cis women might have Y chromosomes: - Twin brother - Gestating a child with a Y chromosome - Bone marrow transfusion from someone with a Y chromosome - Being intersex (we know of XY women who have naturally conceived and given birth)

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946. In 2007, the US president was born in 1946. In 2017, the US president was born in 1946. And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Somehow we went 10 years without having a lengthy discussion about Malört.

this is hell

People are being disappeared from Massachusetts jails

Today I conducted an oversight visit at the Whipple building. We were required to give 7 days notice. When we arrived, ICE had moved every detainee out of the facility. They don’t want us to see what’s really going on here. I won't stop pushing to hold ICE accountable. Minnesotans deserve answers.

No, go after them because they're bad for society, like arsenic in the water. A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.

The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires

“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:

Aaand there you go: Trump’s sudden about-face on the most important Canada-US border crossing came after meeting with the billionaire family that owns the rival bridge. Nice scoop, confirming suspicions of everyone who has followed this file and is familiar with Trump www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/w...

People on Reddit are getting Amazon to refund their Ring products because of their partnership with Flock and that creepy Super Bowl ad www.reddit.com/r/FlockSurve...

Kind of gives away the whole game that all the crypto ads this year have been replaced with gambling and AI ads.

More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market. Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply. A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

This is Very very funny omg

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

*spacex guy voice in six months*: No listen this is a TEST merger. These are supposed spectacularly explode. That’s how we learn if we can explode a dog on the way to Mars.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

I need y’all to know Japan is going to see a release of Hundreds of Beavers soon And they’ve called it FEVER BEAVER Localization is cool, actually

Kelly Vargas writes about what happened to her, her husband, and their 6yo daughter in the family camp in Texas. Filth, illness, medical abuse—her child has lasting complications from being injured by a staff member. We don't know the half of what's happening in the camps, but we know enough.

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023. The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets. https://ow.ly/jy8a50Y8kM3

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

governments put people on the moon before most people on this website, myself included, were even born private space travel is wasting billions on exploding rockets and ferrying celebrities to the edge of the atmosphere

Nicely done, America

When every extremism expert and historian on bluesky is telling you not to celebrate political violence, maybe just don’t do it.
