Trump hung up on a ProPublica reporter after being asked whether his Florida mortgages were similar to those of others he had accused of fraud. Read our full investigation here 👇

They’re not hiding the brutality anymore. They want you to see it. They want you to get used to it.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Excellent article. Paragraph after paragraph is damning.

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved. Don't look up!

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

Essential viewing for your Sunday. On individuals & families pushed into homelessness: “This is an engineered neglect and at every turn, there are entire business models that are set up to capitalize on their predicament.” - @brian-goldstone.bsky.social

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

a lot of people regretting the 'this shoulda been an email' advice rn lol

I’m constantly amazed at how many families in my Minneapolis neighborhood have 3 or 4 kids. I think it is because they can afford a house that fits said kids, send them to our zoned public schools through high school, and lean on local family and friends. 🎁: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/o...

I've often wondered why it seems some college students seem to struggle so much with vocabulary and reading comprehension. It makes a lot more sense when you understand they've been taught to guess and assume rather than read.

It feels a bit weird to post right now in light of what has happened to @teenvogue.com and so much of the incredible team there. What sources shared here is important, & I’m grateful I got to work on this. I reported on how young people are being impacted by delays to SNAP: “It’s about survival.”

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

The Oregon Department of Justice submitted multiple videos as trial exhibits that show federal officers using force against what appear to be nonviolent protesters outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building on various nights since June. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP. A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify. I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

Border patrol agents deployed tear gas on the 3700 block of North Kildare where residents say a landscape worker, a resident, and a woman on a bike were detained. Video from a resident.

*uncontrollable screaming intensifies*

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

Donald Trump knocked down the White House East Wing without notice and before approvals —a developer move known as ‘anticipatory demolition,’ where you tear down a building before the preservationists can intervene. His dad did it too.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys. "I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man." It's a must-read:

This is true and they are super endangered by poachers who shovel them up by the hundreds and sell them at flea markets and shit. You should not buy the plants and if you happen to kick the poacher in the shins on accident, no one will hear about it from me.

We've heard from many people who are interested in attending memorials in the United Kingdom or the United States – but Dr. Jane's wishes were that people honour her locally. We're planning an official memorial event, which the public can attend in person and online. Photo: Vincent Calmel
