"Why aren't reporters asking whether the president has the legal right to launch another Middle Eastern war?" From my Zeteo piece/newsletter today: zeteo.com/p/an-illegal...

So, uh…when do we take to the streets?

“Democrats are trying to impose guardrails on how Trump’s fascist paramilitary force looks and operates, and how Trump can deploy his fascist paramilitary force, when the truth is that his fascist paramilitary force must be eliminated.” From First Draft: zeteo.com/p/reforming-...

Emerging from his viewing of the UNRELEASED Epstein case files at Justice Dept, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) says: "The Dept of Justice has been in a cover-up mode for months... trying to sweep the entire thing under the rug"

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

Idk who Ai.com are but they legit took/stole the old Saturn car logo

FUCK ICE

Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024 UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M. HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

It’s free, but subscribe to @wired.com.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

$1 BILLION per nation to stay on the Gaza “Peace Board” — with Trump controlling the money. Obscene, indefensible corruption. Monetizing the slaughter. There is no bottom. finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-w...

This is a quote that’ll be in The Big Short 2. His entire history is getting rich off insider stock bullshit, and OpenAI has spent more than $8 billion in OpenAI stock buying other companies too. Fake money spent like it’s real

the racism coming from the entire conservative movement targeting the somali community is so goddam disgusting and its just being completely ignored

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

What would be great is if Dem members in multiple states showed up at multiple ICE facilities at 10 a.m. tomorrow armed with this injunction.

I learned about the DoD investigation by tweet, and I learned they’re “escalating” it the same way last night. This just shows again how Pete Hegseth is not a serious person. And there's nothing he can do to stop me from fighting for this country.

Read this. Then read it again.

Waste. Fraud. Abuse.

BREAKING: The DOJ has filed its opposition to my motion for expedited processing of the EPSTEIN TRAINING VIDEOS. They're arguing that there's NO WIDESPREAD PUBLIC INTEREST. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-doj-re...

FUCK ICE

AT&T just cut DEI in order to get deals done, just like TMobile, Verizon and others. FCC now stands for Fuck Citizens of Color.

Q: You said this suspect was flown in under the Biden admin. But was he granted asylum under your administration? TRUMP: Uh, when it comes to asylum, when they're flown in, it's very hard to get them out no matter how you want to do it. But we're gonna be getting them all out now. *slams table*

We found more than two dozen cases of immigration agents using "less lethal" weapons in ways that appear to flout the government's own rules, including by aiming at someone’s head, spine or groin or deploying chemical agents near children. With @frontlinepbs.bsky.social

FUCK ICE

1/ THREAD: This year ICE has sent a record 600 immigrant kids into federal shelters, more than in the previous four years combined. Data suggests some are being separated from their families. For one 15-year-old, it began with a cracked windshield 👇

Jamal Khashoggi's widow, Hanan Elatr Khashoggi: "Try as much as you can to save democracy and freedom of the press and speech in America. Do not be a copy of a Middle East dictatorship. We look to you as a role model of Western civilization—please maintain it."

yet another case of U.S. Citizens arrested by immigration agents on serious charges — then the government drops those charges A common trait in many cases of citizens detained by immigration agents that @propublica.org reviewed www.propublica.org/article/immi...

Saw X is down. My anxiety rose because that was my first indicator of the Cloudflare crash that also shutdown the website of the org I work for (I manage the website). I see everything seems to be fine on our end… and every other website. Just another case of twitter/X being 💩 since Elon.

In the richest city on Earth, 40% of NYC families can’t afford weekly food costs, and food prices are up 33% over the past decade. It’s time for a city government that puts affordability at the top of the agenda.

FUCK ICE!

reminder that Donald Trump said on the record that he partied with his buddy Jeffrey Epstein and women “on the younger side” and yet we’re pretending like the natural of their relationship is some big mystery

Never forget Jamal Khashoggi and the two animals responisble and complicit for his murder and dismemberment..

Meiselas this past Monday: Halligan says the grand jury rejected the 3-count indictment, so she brought back a 2-count version they supposedly approved, but that part is missing from the transcript. Judge Currie warned the grand jury may never have seen it. If true, that’s criminal.

What happened to going after the "worst of the worst"? Under this admin, the DHS has pursued 33% fewer child exploitation cases, instead opting to harass & abduct pastors, small business owners, & others in our communities.

Looking forward to this after I am able to tear myself away from the infinite loop.

Managed to tear myself away from the Parrott goal on infinite loop long enough to write about Ireland’s madcap week. A remarkable resurrection. www.nytimes.com/athletic/681...

"Trump’s Unpublished National Security Strategy Is Stephen Miller’s Far-Right Wet Dream" The president’s new draft natsec document rants against migration and cultural “erasure” – and endorses far-right political parties abroad, sources tell Zeteo.

"There is so much about the draft papers that have caused some who’ve seen it to privately complain that it reads like openly fascist European rantings from the first half of the 20th century." Zeteo scoop on a "bonkers" national security strategy draft:

Sorry Mike Johnson, so are you saying that you can’t do anything about grocery prices like you promised OR that your policies have led to inflation and higher prices? Both seem bad for you.

🚨A federal judge just ordered Trump to release FULL November SNAP payments. Once again: it should not take a judge's order to compel Trump to feed hungry Americans, but this news is a relief to families in need. Trump must follow the law and join us to reopen the government NOW.

This is brilliant

Matchday. And a new UWS. In the sun! This is the only home game we can sell the mag at. Not been in this situation before. Our sellers will be there early. All subscription copies posted yesterday. If yours has '362' on label then it's your final issue - so renew asap. Thanks

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers: “We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Hey wait a second. Isn’t OpenAI meant to convert to a for profit by end of year? There’s not a lot of year left, and Microsoft and OpenAI are yet to come to an agreement. That “memorandum of understanding” was a statement of nothing and this story taking off is going to make things even more sour!
