An investigation by ProPublica and @texastribune.org found more than 60 instances of nepotism, self-dealing and conflicts of interest among 27 private schools that likely would have violated state laws had the schools been public. By Lexi Churchill and @emsimani.bsky.social

President Trump vowed to boost beef imports from Argentina as the US faces soaring meat prices, though the increase may provide little relief to American consumers.

A new Kinsey Institute study finds 18.8% of men would rush marriage versus 13.7% of women.

Jamie Dimon really thinks Congress and the American people will believe that only one top exec at his multi-billion dollar bank enabled Epstein. Be serious. Today I’m giving Dimon and JPMC another chance to explain why they appeared to enable Epstein's trafficking for years.

New developments in my 3 year Epstein investigation, this time regarding JP Morgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon. This is a long thread, but worth sticking around for.

New: Here's a chart of the top conservative / liberal accounts on X. See that small blue dot? That's @acyn.bsky.social. His fast-cut clips of political combat get hundreds of millions more views than major news sources - and basically no one knows who he is. So I profiled him. wapo.st/3RpEvJ7

Seattle No Kings from the monorail

No Kings in Portland Oregon!

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

The world joined us and said, “No Kings.”

OMG! Who invited Kristi Noem to #Sequim ? Ohh hell no! Get those pups away from that puppy killer! Hide your dogs. We don't want her here. We love our dogs in our town. Go away Puppy Killer!

Let’s go! Who else should I block? I love tbt follow lists—- can we create maga lists so we can block them in masse?

Happy No Kings Day, America. It couldn't happen at a better time.

But I was told by everyone on the right that the only person who could deploy the National Guard (or prevent the deployment of the National Guard) was Nancy Pelosi.

Best laugh of my day!!

More of this, please.

Massachusetts bill seeks to ban ICE agents from wearing masks. buff.ly/wndgW5x

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

“With fear for our democracy, I dissent.” “In sadness, I dissent.” “With deep disillusionment, I dissent.” What’s next?

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.  A new generation that gives meaning to the “we” in “we the people.” Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as the future.

This is the line from the horrific SCOTUS decision today that will stick with me. “Sure, the president should follow the law - but the courts can’t force him to do it.” Rendering the Constitution a dead letter if the president decides he’d rather not deal with it.

An astute #SCOTUS @msnbc.com reporter pointed out on @anacabrera.bsky.social today that the #birthrightcitizenship decision reminded her of #Dobbs in the way it effectively divides who you are and what your rights are by what state you live in. It feels to me like civil war by a thousand cuts.

There is a major player in the Israel Iran mess being ignored. His name is Ambassador Mike Huckabee. Yep the former Governor and preacher , probably still preacher and end times fanatic. He is our ambassador to Israel. This is important and wrong.

Congress didn’t just lose its power it gave it away. On war, trade, and policy, lawmakers have willingly let the executive branch rule unchecked.

Today's Supreme Court opinion in US v. Skrmetti is a devastating outcome for trans young people and their families. But we aren't finished fighting for trans people's rights and autonomy here in South Carolina — far from it. Read more here: www.aclusc.org/en/press-rel...

Once again, Donald Trump’s Supreme Court has inserted itself between patients and health care providers.   This decision puts political ideology over the freedom and judgment of patients, parents, and providers. As a result, the court has denied access to what is often lifesaving health care. 1/2

Iran: Weeks away from having nuclear weapons since 1995

Trump’s pardons of white-collar fraudsters, GOP ripoff artists & unrepentant cop-beaters cheated the victims & taxpayers out of $1.3 BILLION in restitution & fines. Not content to steal from the poor to give to the rich, Trump’s now stealing from victims to give to criminals.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

This is now an almost daily occurrence, and one that receives limited attention, particularly as Gaza has been eclipsed by the Israel-Iran war. The U.S. seems to have shifted its already diminished focus entirely.

Iran's plot to retaliate against Israel for starting the latest round of escalating violence in the Middle East may hit the world worse than Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine and Covid-19 combined, an economist has warned. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Final thought for the night: Our world is full of wonders. Talk to you tomorrow. <3

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him disclosing he had a legal firearm. Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.
