The Data Doesn’t Lie: How ProPublica Reports the Truth in an Era of False Claims, by @propublica.org Editor-in-chief @sengelberg.bsky.social

Holes is an understatement. “A federal judge's blistering 233-page ruling…outlines in detail what the judge called repeated lies by Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino about clashes between agents and protesters.” DHS lies every bit as much as 47 does. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

Checks and balances have been replaced with ass-kissing and ball-gargling.

Good morning to everyone who didn’t extort a corrupt sporting body into creating a fake medal for them because they’re still in their fee-fees about getting repeatedly spurned by the Nobel Peace Prize committee.

Suozzi: Prices are up. Why? Because of the tariffs. Prices are going up in health insurance because of the cancellation of the premium tax credits. Prices are going up in energy because there’s new demand for energy at the same time they cut supply.

RELEASE THE TRUMPSTEIN FILES

this shit is just beyond parody, man

So he’s saying when he was a podcaster he was being paid to lie and invent conspiracies for his listeners but now he has to tell the truth.

"I can't deal with the news. " Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil. And the evil continues unabated.

A new CNN report uncovers that the IDF knowingly: •Shot starving Palestinians trying to collect flour •Bulldozed their bodies into shallow, unmarked graves •Left them to decompose, scavenged by dogs •Never documented these murders & tried to hide them This is what genocide looks like. Horrific.

One year down. Three to go . . .

NYT: Most immigrants arrested in a Trump’s authoritarian invasions by his racial profiling goons “have no criminal record” www.wsmv.com/2025/12/06/l...

NEW: Carol Loennig tells Nicoll Wallace on MSNOW that the DOJ intends to try and indict Letitia James a THIRD time. The trouble with that is these multiple tries help James prove her vindictive and selective prosecution bid, and bolster a case to get the grand jury materials.

It happened again: The Trump administration has admitted illegally deporting a man to Guatemala despite an immigration judge's order that he was likely to be tortured there. A judge has ordered the administration to facilitate his return by next week.storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

New in PN: A war criminal without a war "We’re watching the flimsy justifications fall apart in real time. They can try to shift the blame. They can try to say that people clinging to wreckage for dear life are somehow an active threat. But in the end, it’s just murder."

The city starts getting electricity next month from hydrogen made at a Utah plant – and stored beneath it in a vast salt cavern – to help get to 100% carbon-free power.

My remarks to the Metropolitan Airport Commission on Monday: ICE’s actions must be resisted peacefully, safely, legally, and creatively by everyone - we need to step up because this isn’t someone else’s problem.

Small companies just aren't able to keep up with the prices from the tariffs. This is why Learning Resources - a toy company - sued the federal government. And SCOTUS is just sitting on that case. All the while, small businesses are losing out massively. SCOTUS must act. youtu.be/Q5b3A7cV3hc

He'll put out a tweet on truth social today about how the US has the hottest economy ever and unemployment is at all time lows and rw media will run it all day every day for a week.

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

NEWS: The Institute of Museum & Library Services has restored ALL previously canceled federal grants to libraries, following a ruling by a federal judge in Rhode Island last month. This is a massive win for libraries & communities in every state & territory! Learn more: www.ala.org/news/2025/12...

Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami. They are lying to us.

Believe it or not, there appear to be some inconsistencies in Hegseth’s story But hey “fog of war” Right?

The normalization of this madness is so quick that we’re debating whether a second illegal strike was wrong after an initial illegal strike with no proof of any crime and we’ve already seen just random murders of fishermen normalized with the excuse they’re running drugs, which isn’t legal either.

“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

ICE is moving from illegal raids and brutality to ethic cleansing, just like any good Gestapo would do...

Let the courts do their job. This was ridiculous.

America: Did you order the code Red? Hegseth: YOU’RE GODDAM RIGHT I DID! America: Uhm, it’s a crime. Hegseth: Ok, someone else ordered the Code Red.

I hate them all.

Take a moment to watch performance artist Guillaume Juncar. You won’t regret it.

The poor are getting poorer, and this administration is making it harder to help. It's a violation of the values we claim to have.

I'm mostly trying to stay out of US politics rn but the whole Sec of War doing the example of an illegal order to bomb drug dealers and start a war for oil whilst the Prez pardons a drug dealer is a pretty impressive shitstorm

If blowing up survivors in the water was the right thing to do because they are “narco-terrorists” (trust us, bro) and deserve no quarter, why did we rescue two other survivors in a different strike, fly them home, and let them go free?

W T A F

Q: You said that second strike was in accordance with the law of armed conflict, but the Navy's own manual says that firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime LEAVITT: I would reiterate that the strike was conducted in accordance with the law of armed conflict

Trump’s stated justification for every single one of his despicable pardons of multiple drug traffickers, wealthy fraudsters, people who beat up cops, cronies, violent criminals, and politically connected Republicans is always the same: “I heard they were treated very unfairly.”

Remember in May when Trump gave asylum to 17 family members of the Sinaloa cartel after making a deal with El Chapo’s son? And did you know in 2013, El Chapo bribed Juan Hernandez- who trump just pardoned - in exchange for protection in Honduras? I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.

The wholesale murder of people in international waters, without due process, is a crime. If left unchecked, it will lead to more such crimes. This is how things work. Letting them get away with it is the same as giving them permission to keep doing it.

3 more years . . . ?

Two good reasons right there.

Pete Hegseth Confessed To A War Crime — America Shrugs

Some quote about the goose and the gander . . .

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. It’s that simple.

Marcy, this is very interesting in regard to the shooter, and more so since Google has deleted it from their history www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9mC...

Reup: We know that Afghan counterinsurgency veteran Rahmanullah Lakanwal passed multiple vettings before he allegedly murdered Sarah Beckstrom. The Afghan counterinsurgency veteran who FAILED his subsequent vetting, before murdering, is Whiskey Pete Hegseth. www.emptywheel.net/2025/11/29/m...

Her sister in law is in a Louisiana prison after her brother turned her into ICE so he could gain custody of their child (they had split). But they’re enjoying Thanksgiving.
