More extrajudicial murder. I believe this now puts them up over 140.

DOGE allegedly used ChatGPT to identify 1,400 NEH grants it said were DEI. Grants were terminated April 2025, according to a court filing. E.g. Film: 1873 Colfax massacre Film: first female pilots flying for U.S. military in WWII Film: “Untold Story of Jewish Women Slave Labor in the Holocaust"

Donald Trump’s unbelievable year of pardons, visualized.

👀 A federal judge has ordered the disclosure of a roster of DOGE employees and affiliates, as well as a text message revealing a top NEH official’s views on “woke” and “progressive” grants. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Swalwell: ICE agents shot Alex Pretti and Renee Good. And the only person in the world who has been held accountable by DHS is the pilot who somehow forgot to move Kristi Noem’s blankie.

DP World Chairman and Chief Executive Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, the man who "loved the torture video", has resigned. Seems there's still shame everywhere but here. #EpsteinPedoFiles thehill.com/policy/inter...

BREAKING: We're filing a lawsuit challenging Ohio's new law that seeks to purge voters from the rolls based on outdated citizenship data. This law sets up eligible voters — especially recently naturalized citizens — to be wrongly stripped from the voter rolls on the day before the election.

I mean, I wouldn't have expected her to admit that she procured girls for prostitution, but this is nonetheless interesting. (again, reminder, it's not hypocrisy with the Epstein class (including Trump)-- it's hierarchy) open.substack.com/pub/migranti...

DHS is shutting down. Why? Because Democrats took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution and ICE is lawless and out of control. We cannot fund an agency that is murdering our citizens, tear gassing school zones, and disappearing legal immigrants.

Holy crap. New investigative reporting out of Arizona finds voucher fraud is 20x worse than the voucher lobby claims. www.12news.com/article/news...

The financial crisis created by the ICE surge will not disappear immediately even if the ICE officers go away (which they have not yet).

"'She is dead,'" Officer Auderer told Officer Solan, before bursting out laughing. "'No, it’s a regular person,' Officer Auderer said, adding: 'Yeah, just write a check — $11,000. She was 26, anyway. She had limited value.'"

There should be more lawsuits like this.

BREAKING: Judge Nancy Brasel, a Trump appointee, has issued a TRO in the Minnesota access-to-counsel case about treatment at Whipple. "It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees."

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Epstein survivor Haley Robson: I’m so tired of having this administration just completely dismiss us. They’re supposed to be the party of, you know, family values and protecting children. And I just feel like if that’s the party you are, it seems like Thomas Massie is the only one showing up for it.

“Last Wednesday, TikTok creators, finding none of the mayhem they expected to see in Springfield… concocted a conspiracy theory that the churches & nonprofit organizations were, in fact, working to deport Haitian parents to take their children.” The war on trafficking, now nearly wholly imagined.

Working people should not have to sell their PLASMA to make ends meet. In this economy, corporations and billionaires are getting richer, while working people are scraping for crumbs. A union contract is how we start to level the playing field.

Every sentence is like a Russian nesting doll of weird

This is the second time I've heard of ICE/CBP taking someone's DNA without a warrant. What databases are they trying to fill and why?

This appears to be a "talking to the tape" scenario. @gettheflick.bsky.social @rustysunshine.bsky.social

Analilia Mejia, a longtime progressive organizer allied with Sen. Bernie Sanders, has emerged victorious in a crowded Democratic primary in the special election to fill the U.S. House seat formerly held by New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill.

ICE contracts increased private prison company GEO Group's revenues by 800% in 2025, according to an earnings call attended by @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social. But none of that money seems to be going to oversight amid a spate of sexual abuse & physical assault complaints against GEO Group guards.

I was willing to risk my life for this country. And if some draft-dodger thinks he’s going to intimidate me, or threaten me or my family, he’s got another thing coming.

Sen. Murphy: “So, your belief is that white Americans face more discrimination. at least prior to the Trump administration…than Black Americans?” Jeremy Carl, Trump's nominee to be assistant secretary of state for international organizations: "Yes, that's correct.”

I think Senator Murphy did a great job here pinning down Carl and forcing him to flail on his white nationalist beliefs One thing I think we don't do enough is confront them on issues of morality, and allow me to explain what I mean (🧵)

These cases continue to arise, reminding there’s seemingly no ‘correct’ way to dispose of pregnancy remains that will protect us from criminal investigation—not while abortion bans and fetal personhood laws exist:

This is important. The head of CBP says here that his agency did NOT provide the assessment that led DHS to label Alex Pretti a terrorist looking to inflict mass casualties. That appears to contradict Stephen Miller's claim that the initial assessment was based on CBP reports:
