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

#GVerse #Veterans US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.

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!

'In response to HuffPost’s query about who suggested Budapest, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded, “Your mom did,” and White House communications director Steven Cheung replied: “Your mom.”' Everytime you think they can't sink any lower:

My issue (again) is that no one grills him on his sudden yet repeated amnesia. How hard is it to say follow up with, “shouldn’t that be concerning that this is occurring and you are unaware of it?” Everyone in the press corps seems so afraid or hesitant to continue to take a step further.

At the end of the movie The Big Short what did they say Micheal Burry (Christian Bale) invested most of his money in? 🤔

What an insanely racist thing to say. Wow…

I’ve never heard a bad word about the movie Spotlight and despite that I think it might be the most underrated movie of the last 25 years. Every time you watch it, it just hits. Also telling the story of dedicated journalists not cowering to an institution seems especially pertinent now.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

I’ll do it guys. Hey @jakeall.bsky.social how you holding up?

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

We take a break from our regularly scheduled programming for this important announcement I just tried the French Onion Soup burger from Shake Shack. It is phenomenal.

FUCK ICE

FUCK ICE

Still waiting on all those “anti cancel culture”, “free speech” podcast comedians to be up in arms about Kimmel being taken off the air… it’s almost as if all along they were being “canceled” because they refused to adapt to actual culture shifts and weren’t talented enough to adapt 🤔

“The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States.” www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...
