Today, we filed a lawsuit to compel the federal government to return Newport’s search-and-rescue helicopter – a critical step for community safety. This helicopter was recently removed without public notice, community consultation, or risk assessment required by federal law.

Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.

thinking about how my parents escaped vietnam, where the CIA destabilized my family's home country by spreading misinformation, and they landed in the united states, which is now getting destabilized bc someone in vietnam is spreading misinformation

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.” www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Today is the anniversary of JFK's assassination. Also today, his granddaughter, Tatiana Schossberg, publicly revealed her terminal cancer diagnosis and berated her cousin RFK Jr for his reckless reign as HHS director. Tragedy all around.

FDA delays left recalled ByHeart baby formula on store shelves, food safety expert tells Healthbeat. Nearly a week was lost clearing bureaucratic hurdles before all state and local food safety officials were told where formula was being sold. www.healthbeat.org/2025/11/22/b... #IDsky #Medsky

Jesus H Christ on rollerskates, Nuzzi is neither interesting nor a good writer. She's someone who plays off men's vanity, a grift that is as old as time. It's no different than what Bari Weiss does in a slightly different variation. Y'all are willing marks for a con job.

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

it won't get as much attention because the U.S. press doesn't care about infrastructure, but the Trump admin is also threatening to withhold billions of dollars in infrastructure bill broadband grants if states pass laws focused on making broadband affordable or try to enforce net neutrality

NEW: The White House intervened on behalf of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate during a federal investigation. “It was so offensive to what we’re all here to do, to uphold the law and protect the American people,” one official involved said. www.propublica.org/article/andr...

LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language. It doesn't make the claims more credible to us, it just tidies them up.

It is Prince tribute night on #dwts and my Gen X heart is shrieking with delight!

ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it. The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” will take away food from 4 million people.

While Republicans celebrate their new law, millions of families will struggle to put food on the table.

This isn’t beautiful — it’s cruel. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

The Trump administration is trying to sell federal student loans to private companies. This sale would be a giveaway to wealthy insiders at the expense of working-class borrowers and taxpayers. It’s a tremendous mistake, and I’m fighting back.

Evil isn't just banal, but it's also cheap as hell. If you're willing to sell your soul for three hundred bucks, my guess is you probably already sold it once. Or several times. Three hundred bucks. My god that's bleak.

NEW—US Park Police w/ DHS officers near DC are increasingly pulling over Black and brown men, leaving their work vans on the side of the parkway + immediately calling a local towing company to take them. Families who just lost their breadwinner are stuck with the bill. @melbuer.bsky.social reports:

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte. ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018. We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

Before ACA, I regularly had patients who bought insurance they thought was "best for them". I've seen $50k annual max, $500k lifetime max, plans w/ no Rx coverage, plans *carving out* cancer treatment, plans that denied leukemia treatment because prior iron deficiency anemia was a pre-existing. /1

President Donald Trump has continued his purchases of municipal and corporate debt this fall, including bonds of companies affected by his administration’s policies

Don't be evil? "Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, and tell local cops whether to contact ICE about the person, while simultaneously removing apps designed to warn local communities about the presence of ICE officers..." www.404media.co/google-has-c...

Devastating piece on the human toll of Kavanaugh Stops. Especially infuriating to know that rich white guys like Brett K can simply close their eyes to the human suffering their racist jurisprudence has unleashed.

bringing this statement over from Alice’s Twitter. it appears the below was Alice’s last post before passing. I am heartbroken

Border Patrol has been targeting the elderly heavily. Today in Santa Ana, that’s almost all they took, including this man and his cane.

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

Google has now admitted that they will tap into users' personal data within Gmail and Drive in order for their upcoming AI search to "be more helpful". For years, Google has advertised their services as "encrypted" and "secure", which begs the question: are they really? 1/5 🧵

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Earlier this year, OPB joined a group of young Indigenous kayakers paddling down the Klamath River, flowing freely after four dams were removed. The "Oregon Field Guide" team captured that multi-day journey in a newly released documentary.

🧵Did you hear? Tucked into the CR is a measure that would allow 8 Republican senators to sue the US govt for $500k each over Jack Smith investigating them for Jan 6 & searching their phone records. A measure that would pay them half a million dollars each for breaking the law.

My ACA current plan is going from $385/mo to $821/mo.

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Astonishing: Bovino and his agents showed up at the Bean this morning to pose for pictures. While Border Patrol snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’” The neighborhood where they are least welcome and most acutely felt. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/10/b...

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...
