Senator Menendez is sitting in his cell at Allenwood right now because he took a 1kg gold bar from the Egyptians, among other forms of “lobbying.”

Some inspiring words on cinema in the streaming era from the Pope. Yes, THAT Pope.

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..." Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

NEW: Using his clemency power, Trump has undone prosecutions made by his own DOJ during his first term. Experts say the actions show a broad contempt for the justice system: “He’s rejecting ... the work of people he appointed but didn’t fully control.” By @jeremykohler.bsky.social

If you say you like "modern" building designs, you're going to have to be more specific.

ICE are just arresting anybody that doesn't look white enough ICE tries to deport Native American woman Leticia Jacobo, a member of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, was born in Phoenix, Arizona

Wow! Pain and difficulty is not a side effect, absolutely the intent! apple.news/Av-oRHacQRci...

Having been involved as an expert witness in three documentary proof of citizenship cases I expect DHS will find there are 1,000s of naturalized citizens who haven't updated their drivers' license citizenship status but they'll claim they are noncitizens

The furor over the death of a Colombian fisherman has ignited a feud over the huge U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean and the legality of the deadly attacks on nearly 20 vessels since September.

This is America today. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Weird not to lead with the item most people will immediately glom onto: they let her have a pet puppy.

I thought the earlier news from A&M was bad, but this is incredibly bleak. It’s close to the point of not having a functional university.

A campaign that could evolve into bombing a nation thirty times the size of Panama, larger than Ukraine, and home to nearly 30 million people cannot be slipped past either Congress or the American public as an extension of drug policy. www.thebulwark.com/p/no-venezue...

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally. Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.

In Bovino's upside down world, there is no difference between an armed gang member preying on others in his community and a guy working 12 hours a day washing cars, flipping burgers, or installing sheetrock to feed his family — and he wants you to hate and fear both men equally.

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

This article is utterly damning for the New York Times and also for Vanity Fair and ABC, whose editorial teams were apparently intimidated into silence by a mix of legal and violent threats. Virginia Giuffre did not stand a chance against all this.

Letter: Let’s talk about Salt Lake County Council’s abrupt decision affecting a silent, vulnerable population

Amazing to see conservatives, especially in Utah, describe state-level zoning reform as a leftist policy. How is freeing the market from excessive local regulation leftist? Where have the property rights people gone in the GOP?

This is the greatest story ever told: A person in Hamilton, ON stole a city bus and then proceeded to make the stops along the way, allowing passengers to board and exit freely. The person actually refusing someone looking to board with an expired pass. 🔥🔥 hamiltonpolice.on.ca/news/police-...

In the situation room?

A direct email exchange from 2011 between Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, just released by House Oversight Committee Democrats.

no question that hegseth hates guys with beards because they make him feel insecure

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

for some reason, i don’t believe them

Folks have been telling me they’ve noticed I’ve gotten “a lot more political” on social media this year. Of course I have. The circumstances have gotten nightmarishly worse, and the consequences of inaction and staying silent infinitely more obvious. Everyone needs to get “a lot more political.”

Governor Cox should read the judge’s ruling which explains the authority she has to designate a map when the legislature refuses to enact one that complies with the state Constitution and statute. He shouldn’t just ad lib a legal fiction.

Trump is making our global position weaker every day.

Ah yes. Infamous radicals. Civically engaged Mormon women lol

I hear that was a lot more alpha if you read it in the original Greek... *I'll walk myself out*

If you're just waking up, Utah has a new congressional map. A judge rejected the legislature's proposal in favor of a map drawn by voter-rights groups who sued. Here's your new congressional boundaries for 2026: www.fox13now.com/news/politic... #utpol #Utah

JFC is this bad. Straight up cash transfer to the shadiest Republican senators and an assault on the rule of law.

Seriously, is there nothing happing in United States federal politics that ISN’T filled with layers upon layers of corruption? It’s like an evil parody of real governance.

Like something out of an Adrian Tchaikovsky (@aptshadow.bsky.social) novel 👀

My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY Please read this entire excellent piece by Caroline, which points out that a judge ordered the Feds (again) to stop doing **this exact kind of thing** and they are still continuing to do it all over Chicago

Here’s video of federal agents doing a drive by pepper spraying that hit a father and his one-year old on Saturday when the Feds were hitting Little Village and Cicero

I'm sorry, but nutrition is universal, and people will feel better, have more energy, and live longer if they can eat healthier. Let's focus on the ways that we CAN make healthy eating more accessible and affordable instead of buying into a corporate narrative that "McDonald's is good, actually."

In the last week the 5-4 Republican controlled Salt Lake County Council has shutdown daycares and a Senior center while we are facing an affordability crisis. They screwed our future and our elders. You aren’t a damn budget cut. Get Dems in and we’ll restore these services

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond

As Salt Lake County Council continues to deliberate on the county budget in the wake of a proposed tax increase, the council voted to close a senior center in Salt Lake City.
