The betting site Kalshi emerged as a dominant sports betting platform during the World Cup. But the company avoids billions of dollars in taxes by insisting it is not a sports gambling operator.

Bathrooms were never just abt bathrooms (but rather the ability to exist in public). Health care was always abt bodily autonomy the same as abortion. And at core, this is abt forced compliance + control for everyone. Anyone who thinks they're exempt is deluded. Even the boys with their T shots.

The most pro-deportation people in Washington just had a yacht party. The boozy gala drew conservatives who've served in Congress, the DOJ and ICE — all of whom share a goal of deporting 1 million-plus people a year.

In April, we reported on the MSG surveillance machine–an operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more. You can now read it for free.

This month, we published another article revealing that MSG kept a database of VIP event attendees, labeling some of them as LGBTQIA and assigning a “risk score” to others. This is also now free to read:

If you are keeping track, this is from today.

The Secret Service is "protecting" Trump's failson by "protecting" him from being served with a subpoena from BBC. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.

NEW with @carolinehaskins.bsky.social: ICE is renewing its contract with Thomson Reuters for accessing some their suite of proprietary databases. In the description, ICE says the tools will be used to ID "unaccompanied minors" and identify fraud. www.wired.com/story/ice-un...

"the government says it can summarily execute anyone who they’ve singlehandedly determined is a threat to 'public safety.' Given that the administration has also made clear that it believes all immigrants and all of those who oppose ICE are threats to public safety, you can see where this is going."

What a graphic. @cnn.com #$NVDA #$TSLA #$AEO

Trump mentioned Maduro tonight as part of his election conspiracies. I stand by my prediction that he is going to make a deal with Maduro where he will say Venezuela was part of a conspiracy with China to rig 2020 in the US. That line tonight was another step to that happening.

I want people to understand the full impact of the devastation that First Nations in Canada are facing. It's NOT just that people and wildlife are losing their homes...it's the history that is being lost for generations to come.

In April, we published our first story about the surveillance machine at Madison Square Garden—an operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more. Read that here:

Statement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche: "After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General. "I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors."

The Justice Department appears to have included a fake AI-generated. citation in an ICE detainee's case. Judge Jarbou, a Trump appointee in Michigan, called it out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Truth Social will sell Wall Street firms quicker access to market-moving posts from Trump, the company said

ICE has killed another person, this time by depriving him of life-sustaining medication for a known medical condition. Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva was detained on Thursday. He was dead by Monday. Per @detentionwatchnetwork.org:

“This data included the user’s birthdate, birth control type, reproductive goals, and specific symptoms that the user was experiencing, and it tied that record to a unique identifier in place of the person’s name.”

This is the Federal Government weaponized against political dissenters. It’s a direct attack on the Constitution. It means the vital resources of branches meant for defense WILL BE TURNED AGAINST CITIZENS who criticize this regime. Watch for them trying to bypass the courts, that’s the real danger.

He reportedly called his ex-wife to ask her to "lie for him" and to "cover for his character."

Wow. The ICE shooter in Maine asked his ex-wife to "to lie for him and to cover for his character." She said he was abusive and had previously reported concerns about him to his military superiors. He was also a volunteer firefighter, but was removed after several spats with department leadership.

The teleprompter guy! This is actually kind of a genius scam. I'm impressed.

ABC NEWS: ".. Trump's longtime teleprompter operator is believed to have made tens of thousands of dollars by placing bets on that speech and more than a dozen others .." abcnews.com/US/white-hou...

Fascism is here. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. “Left-wing political terrorism” will mean those who oppose the regime — while actual right-wing extremism is allowed to grow and thrive. We are very far off the cliff, folks.

1. NEWS Secret Service agents assigned to JD Vance are “fed up” after the vice president planned to use Marine Two, the military helicopter reserved for transporting the vice president, to fly his elementary-school-aged son to a golf lesson.

Kash Patel uses government jets to attend concerts and sporting events. JD Vance asked that a $16,000+/hour helicopter take his young son to a golf lesson. These people are supposed to SERVE this country, not treat it like a personal luxury for their own frivolous use.

There's nothing more populist and middle America than -- checks notes -- getting one's son to a golf lesson on a military helicopter. www.ms.now/news/veeps-s...

JD Vance sought last week to use a military helicopter to ferry himself and his son across Washington for a golf lesson, one of a number of allegedly unusual travel requests that has left his Secret Service security detail “fed up.”

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov: “Here’s what’s gonna happen tonight — the world’s most famous sore loser will deliver a primetime presidential sour grapes 🍇 address to pursue his 6yo grievances about the 2020 election while his war spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise.”

They don’t care about fertility any more than they cared about women’s sports. They want to own women and children as property. The only real fascist goal is domination. They have no other. The rest is just whatever lie they’re currently telling to disguise that fact.

The ACLU has just detailed hundreds of cases of misconduct by immig agents: -kneeling on necks 52x -Agents choking people 10x -smashing car windows 47x -ramming cars 14x -Hit people w/ car 6x Report repeatedly cites ProPublica's reporting B/c transparency takes a village--when the govt blocks it

“The US state department is offering grants of up to $3mn for Maga-aligned European groups that combat ‘censorship’ and develop ‘civilisational bonds’ between the US and the continent.”

it's the biggest technological revolution of our lifetimes and you almost never hear about it (because it threatens to bankrupt many of the fossil fuel interests who currently run our society)

Massie: "I don't think the problem is that our elections aren't secure because we control the House, Senate, White House, and to some degree we control the Supreme Court. So I ask my Republican colleagues, why are you complaining about election fraud? We won all the damn elections!"

Muslim Man in Utah Stabbed. The Suspect Said He 'Intends to Kill Muslims' The horrific attack has barely been covered by the media, and most U.S. politicians remain silent. Read: zeteo.com/p/muslim-man...

There were 71 ICE flights yesterday, and 60 of them were domestic. ICE is still surging. Protect your neighbors.

As bad as this article sounds regarding cheating and genAI, the reality is so much worse. Here we go: The value of the university degree, the main way we certify academic *and professional* competence, is being destroyed because genAI usage degrades skills and it‘s endemic. Students know this.

NEW: A woman who sexually abused a minor. Boxer Mike Tyson, who served time for rape. Both of these people successfully launched private schools that collected public money. As the voucher system grows more popular, few states have guardrails in place.

Hey, remember that video Trump posted showing him shitting all over the country? prospect.org/2026/07/16/h...

The historic 160-year-old antislavery documents on loan for a new exhibit under the Lincoln Memorial are being removed after exposure to unsafe temperatures, a spokesperson said.

28 years of cyclosporiasis testing Screwworms eradicated in the US in 1966. Measles eradicated in the US in 2000. All are back because of this science denying administration.

Isn't it weird that this week a currently sitting president had to pay a woman MILLIONS of dollars for *raping* (and defaming) her—and the media has forgotten all about it? There was a time that this would have been the ONLY story—until the rapist was driving from office.
