Justice Department whistleblower Erez Reuveni says he was fired after refusing to lie to the court. He sits down with Scott Pelley in his first television interview. Tonight on 60 Minutes.

when i say that i yelped in shock at this kid’s sign

This is Idaho 💙

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

I literally just saw an elderly woman using a walker dressed head to toe as a frog.

They joined Bluesky because they can’t live without your attention. They don’t want to govern, they don’t even really want to “win” in a conventional sense, they just want to play online all day owning libs and it drives them crazy when they lose access to your one wild and precious life.

A federal judge has lifted travel restrictions for Mahmoud Khalil, allowing the activist to speak at rallies and other events across the U.S. as he fights his deportation case brought by the Trump administration.

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today issuu.com/idsnews/docs...

This season of Hush is something increasingly rare in podcasting as the industry has consolidated toward celebrity chat. If you miss the old days of deep reporting, great narrative storytelling and a focus on craft, consider subscribing to Hush! Latest episode here:

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly. Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested. Stay safe out there.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

Glad to see @thedartmouth.bsky.social, oldest student paper in US, & one for which many of my students have worked, has joined Student Press Law Center's amicus brief challenging Trump laws targeting international students' speech, including on student papers. www.thedartmouth.com/article/2025...

Federal judge in Chicago demands testimony on whether ICE immediately violated her order 🔽

Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?” @aoc.bsky.social : “That’s the difference between us & Trump. I don’t care if you voted for me, I want you to have health care.”

I would never even dream of betting against someone who claims to be a liberal and tells rich wingnuts whatever they want to hear. Those people simply cannot fail. Easiest grift in the world.

the good news is the Trump administration knows they don't have enough U.S. Nazis to retain power. the bad news is they're recruiting Nazis from abroad to help.

tfw your 1,000-word tweets aren't working

JD Vance (41) defending hate speech from 40 year olds by saying "kids will be kids" is some weapons-grade telling-on-yourself

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Of course the guy shielding Trump from a vote on releasing the Epstein files is threatened by transparency

“Treat these GOP chats like you would if a random person with vaguely with lefty politics posted them on the internet” challenge.

Hey news people: I know you like to pretend this doesn't exist, but you need to pay attention to the Nazi drama on Twitter. Basically, it seems as if Elon just restored two major neo-Nazi accounts that were banned by his product head, and might be about to fire the product head for banning them

the buildup to this Jeffries bit in the piece is really well done, and manages to impart real depth to a standard no-comment www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/m...

Local food distrib center that distributes food throughout the region especially in underserved rural areas was outgrowing their warehouse. Without asking, McKenzie Scott donated several million to build a larger distribution center. She has a person who investigates orgs with needs, cuts check.

This is why the inflatable costumes works so well -- it works the same way calling them "weird" or "creepy" did. It disrupts their narrative, and makes them seem pathetic rather than cool-and-cruel.

Today, House Republicans will take their 70th day off with pay in the last 82 days.

Christ, I had completely forgotten about this clown.

Unfortunately the warnings were ”being cops” and “having tear gas”

Send every ICE employee to the fucking Hague.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

Andrew Cuomo is incapable of speaking clearly and directly about Trump’s authoritarianism.

Once American democracy made it possible for a Black man to be elected president, American conservatives decided that it had to be destroyed

Yes, if a male grifter like Chris Rufo or Ben Shapiro were named the head of CBS News, yes, the reaction would have been just as fierce. No one is objecting because she's a woman. Jesus, get a grip.

How Trump plays you: He posts a claim undermining the facts about January 6. YOU ALL DISSEMINATE IT!!! You don't mock that he's complaining that the FBI responded to a terrorist attack. You instead "fact check" re his claim that Joe Biden was in charge of the FBI--which is abt tribalism, not truth

We will need Nuremberg-like trials

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

Oh, does it benefit the US to provide aid to foreign countries? That would have been good to know back in January and February.

A few minutes ago in the House: - Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week - House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week

I give shit to Jeffries (and Schumer) when they suck, so it’s also important to recognize when they’re doing it right. This is doing it right. More of this, indeed. *Everyone* involved in the corruption of this administration MUST face consequences for their actions.

The importance of this question cannot be overstated: Trump has been communicating directly with Bondi through Truth Social about indicting his enemies. How this question is resolved is critical.

This is the lesson of 2025

🚨

Quick follow up for the senator -- who is they?

Once again, I’m wondering why Democrats aren’t running with a straightforward message of “despotism is un-American and unaffordable” right now and all the way into the midterms.

I thought this was a parody post making fun of Ro khanna.

This is literally the only interpretation of these things. Rs could end this in whatever time it takes to do a voice vote in both houses, but they chose not to (because they don't have the votes). None of that is the responsibility of the Dems to fix.

They largely want the studios & sports and don’t care about the news org. In fact, they would love it gone. Why? Because rich men, especially tech men, think they deserve no criticism and also need constant fluffing. They value a mirrortocracy over a meritocracy and welcome a mediocrity.

I suspect a party platform of 1) turning back every Trump action and policy, 2) arresting every employee of ICE for involvement in or abetting of crimes against humanity, would do very well.
