BREAKING: Judge Cobb finds that Sec. Noem's second and third efforts to restrict congressional oversight access to federal immigration facilities still likely violate Sec. 527, issues an order blocking both during litigation.

As the U.S. officially breaks 1,000 measles cases in 2026, experts say that the rate of infections is accelerating much faster this year than it did in years past

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

Glad this is getting covered, but also… Completely surreal to read the NYT report on this as recently disclosed info, and just an allegation. This happened to every observer I know! It happened to me twice! I have it on video both times! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/u...

According to public Department of Justice records, about 2000 staffers left DOJ from 2024-2025, including about 1000 lawyers. The last time there were there this few staff was 2010. no-little-plans.ghost.io/2000-staffer...

Federal agents cornered Marimar Martinez, shot her several times, boasted about it, arrested her, lied about her to the public and in the police report, and falsely charged her with assaulting them. Now the government wants to keep evidence of their lies secret to protect these agents' "privacy."

What is going on w/Bondi's DOJ & Pirro's US Attny's Office? They are repeatedly missing court deadlines in new lawsuits against USG & facing possible default. I had two w/i last few days. Admin has gutted these offices. I feel for lawyers still there. Workload is unmanageable.

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

Mommy Mondays with Tony Dokoupil

perhaps the first Nuremburg defense of the Trump administration? Certainly won't be the last

who's excited for the new CBS segment "Phrenology Phridays"

This is an important paper on social class barriers among faculty in academia. First-generation college grads earn less and are placed at lower prestige institutions despite being just as productive as other faculty. Faculty from upper class backgrounds are overplaced for their research records.

TIL Dell supplies ICE.

America has a housing shortage. Every single housing proposal you see that is not "build more housing" will have the primary effect of pushing up the prices of existing housing, and is therefore, in reality, a plan to enrich current homeowners. In conclusion, build more housing.

The newest course in the SABR Analytics Certification on-demand program is now available, "Applied Statistics for Baseball", led by instructor @robarthur.bsky.social. SABR members get registration discounts and your work will be reviewed by @baseballprospectus.com staff: sabr.org/analytics/ce...

NEW: Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government won’t say if any agents have been punished.

Today on All Of It: Amanda Holden on 'How to Be a Rich Old Lady'💰; Karolina Wydra on the sci-fi drama #Pluribus; director Kaouther Ben Hania on 'The Voice of Hind Rajab'; plus @benlindbergh.bsky.social & @robarthur.bsky.social on why TV seasons now take so long. At Noon on @wnyc.org!

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

WAM had @robarthur.bsky.social run a report for us that found that fielders in stadiums with closed roofs were, on average, positioned a foot closer to where fly balls landed than in outdoor venues. Theoretically, you could use WAM's data to position your fielders better and save a few runs a year.

"Individual liberty" is when conservatives decide everything. Their concept of liberty is just domination, not freedom to do what they want, but freedom to force everyone else to do what they want. bsky.app/profile/donm...

whenever I see this topic, I think back to @robarthur.bsky.social's two-parter from 2021 on fielding and how much better it had gotten. First part covered how defenders were playing deeper, removing a bunch of hits thanks to better athleticism and throwing ability in particular:

"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call. I'd add Republicans too if I thought any of them had the courage to actually cross Trump on this.

BREAKING: Trump is again separating kids from families The govt isn't releasing info, but we found ICE has sent record # of kids to shelters. One family went to govt office , only to have parents detained while the children—aged 5, 11 and 1--went to shelters www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

"underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy" is such absolute horseshit. There's no doubt, there's no "orthodoxy"--vaccines save lives, that's a simple fact, and what he is doing will end lives.

Grok gave me a side by side comparison of how Elon Musk would improve upon Jeffrey Epstein's private island logistics, including how he would avoid getting caught. Not alt-txting that one bc Jesus Christ

What this shows yet again is that DHS's "official version" of events simply shouldn't be believed without verification. In video after video, claims made by DHS officers and DHS itself were shown not to have occurred at all — or to have occurred in a substantially different way than first described.

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos. I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

I asked Grok whether Elon deserves the prestigious title of Biggest Douche in the Universe.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

Check out our story here, which was a big collaborative effort from @melissa-sanchez.bsky.social, @jodiscohen.bsky.social, @tchristianmiller.bsky.social, Sebastian Rotella, & me. Data & research from Nick McMillan, @kirstenberg.bsky.social, & Gabriel Sandoval www.propublica.org/article/chic...

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

I’d started to wonder whether the Epstein files were a bit of a macguffin, but no no they implicate the President of the United States in a pedophilia ring—and show the entire Republican Party as well as much of the federal government has been baldly covering it up. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The amount of work the Trump administration is putting into making sure people starve is staggering. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b...

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

They send armed goons to kidnap parents in front of their children and then get mad that we don’t thank them for “keeping us safe.” Hell isn’t hot enough for these assholes.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

How many Republicans objected to a Trump nominee with an acknowledged "Nazi streak"? Four (4).

2 million more than June and now basically 2% of the entire US population. Which is huge. It may not seem like a big number, but one in 50 people suggests to me that almost everyone in the US personally knows someone who attended.

If universities fight, they'll win. If they negotiate, they'll lose. It's pretty simple. share.google/Sx4rRygspcx2...

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.
