CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was. You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

Connecticut Attorney General William Tong on the latest suspension of Revolution Wind:

This is plain obstruction and demands consequences.

Just incredible how underwater Trump is on tariffs.

If you spin the coverup of Trump's pedophilia then you are actively engaged in the coverup, too

Why do MAGA republicans want children to die from preventable diseases?

Allow a genocide to wipe out those pesky residents and then Jared and the rest of the oligarch class can build their playground and make money off rich tourists and tech bros. Got it. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Breaking: Rep. Ro Khanna says the Trump DOJ's production "does not comply with" the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Khanna says he and Rep. Thomas Massie "are exploring all options" — including impeachment of DOJ officials, inherent contempt, or referring individuals for obstruction of justice.

Nothing surprises me anymore with regard to the White House, but this is weird:

Vaccine rates are low and the state's respiratory epidemiologist notes increased vaccine hesitation due to confusion over CDC messaging. At this point - ignore the politicized CDC. Talk to your doctor. See what your state's health department recommends. wisconsinexaminer.com/briefs/as-va...

1. In Alaska, the right wing govt handpicked doctors to the Medical Board to ban trans youth care. A month after after, one anti-trans doctor was arrested for child porn. The day after he was bailed out, his home burned down, with reports suggesting he was found deceased. Our latest wild story.

Officials in Tennessee aren't just banning books, they're now demanding information on who checked out contested (largely LGBTQ+) books, including names, addresses, and "household composition." A librarian who was given the directive has come forward asking for whistleblower protections.

Instead of addressing the real problems facing families, Republicans are inserting themselves between families and their doctors as they make the most personal and private decisions. I will never back down from fighting this sick and calculated attempt to erase trans Americans.

The right's go to for people they disagree with is increasingly calling for public executions. Violence is not the land of the free.

RIP Peter Arnett. One of a rare breed of journalists.

While everyone under the sun appears to be jumping on the 'wrapped' bandwagon (GoFundMe - I already know my contributions. I love you, but I didn't need that email) the @contrariannews.org is sharing its wrapped I'll call "Americans Without a Backbone". Here you go:

People wonder why so many 'sane' Americans align themselves with a lawless regime. A tale as old as time, and across many administrations - but this one takes it to previously unknown heights. It's the money. Our money.

Why did Trump distance himself from Project 2025 during the campaign? He knew voters wouldn't like it. But it is the blueprint for his regime. (When he's not focused on retribution and self-glorification.) www.snopes.com/news/2025/12...

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.

JFC. They want us to suffer. Also, they're idiots.

Trump believes oil fields in Venezuela were once part of the U.S. and somehow Maduro snatched them.

So now the EPA will just relay on what polluters tell them. Oh, and vibes.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Trump has pardoned 17 drug dealers and nearly 1600 people who attacked Congress on January 6, 2021.

I guess the first rollout didn’t work. Now they are officially cool with swastikas unless someone complains.

She's considered to be one of his closest advisers. What the WH Chief of Staff has to say about the president, the people around him and what they are doing is hardly comforting. She also apparently has no line he can't cross. (GIFT ARTICLE) www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/u...

Oooof.

Communities that want to fight back against (or consider building) data centers will find this article useful. A line of questioning all city leaders should be asking tech companies coming their way: www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/chandle...

The reality is many Americans don't care if people are dying elsewhere. They only see their tax dollars disappearing. (They don't seem to mind if their taxes help rich folks). They don't consider the concept of soft power - and neither does T. He reveres mobster power.

People have seen huge price hikes for power as tech companies build more data centers. As data centers suck up huge amounts of energy, residential customers foot the bill. Oregon passed a law to make data centers pay their own way. One power company is trying help tech bros skirt the law.

"Trump Is Already Discussing Preemptive Pardons For His Lawless Administration" The revelation comes as Pete Hegseth faces scrutiny for a possible war crime, and as a judge pursues a contempt inquiry into the defiance of his order. Read/share/subscribe:

The president is now trying to assert he has pardon authority over state level convictions. What are the odds the SCOTUS majority is busy trying to find a way to allow it?

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

🚨Judge Xinis finds that, incredibly, Mr. Abrego Garcia was never ordered deported in 2019. She notes that every since this saga began all the way back in March, the government has NEVER been able to produce any evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.

This is what government censorship actually looks like: defunding entire fields, deporting researchers, and quite effectively chilling speech that helps people understand how our information systems are being exploited and calls out powerful people and platforms for their bullshit.

Reader, he is, in fact, making this stuff up
