the boca raton bowl is drunk

Being a stupid loser isn’t an effect of cocaine. Some people on cocaine act stupid and some people are losers but Marco Rubio is just trash and it’s tiresome to continue to use the “he must be on drugs” to describe the choices of craven losers who are not demonstrating any signs of drug intoxication

i have seen this error made enough times that I have to ask if people know that the thing that slows your car down is spelled "brake"

The DOJ seized my newsroom 960 days ago. They indicted me 677 days ago. My felony charges were dismissed 90 days ago. The DOJ filed its notice of appeal 57 days ago. Has it filed its appeal yet? No! And they were just granted ANOTHER 30 DAYS to file it. (They still have my newsroom.)

Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group.

I'm not the only person to have written it, and Parker in particular also did it well, but this was a lazy work the whole time. You can make a whole rancid career in the conservative politics biz just by knowing who you can get away with trying to hurt and then doing it. defector.com/the-conserva...

Hello, a moment for earnestness this holiday season: It was miraculous when we scraped together enough money to launch a newsroom 16 months ago. I had a clear vision of what @thebarbedwire.com could be, but it required a lot of things to go right. Many did not! thebarbedwire.com/2025/12/23/2...

Hi.

A comprehensive and maddening history of Color Star, would-be titans of just about anything: defector.com/a-comprehens...

The Atlantic had to get the "it was OK for Harlan Crow to have Nazi memorabilia" guy off the bench for this one

CBS News may not want you to see its CECOT reporting, but I'm happy to share this powerful video that our team produced this year.

I worry that CNN is getting out over its skis with this, tbh.

a fifth grade honor roll student with the same name in Dundalk, MD existed ten years ago so the ages match up

What I believe is actually happening here: The robots are set up to identify what content gets engagement, read FB auto-gen text description, & feed that into the generative AI. Post, comments, iterate. hundreds of seemingly real comments on these, most of them incorporating some form of "amen"

if they're retroactively tying this to the election you know this info is REAL REAL

Among the newly-released Epstein files. This Justice Dept email from Jan 2020 'I wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported"

this is my take, the fact it's postmarked three days after Epstein died and anybody can get mail returned to a sender that isn't them, and it reads too clumsily on the nose

Holy shit, was googling around to find out if this could possibly be real and came across this Rolling Stone June 2023 story about the EXISTENCE of this letter, but the content wasn’t known — until now www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

some of my favorite things found so far behind the redactions

We at ProPublica obtained internal government data in May that showed the Trump administration knew the vast majority of Venezuelans sent to El Salvador had not been convicted of violent crimes. Our reporting is featured in Frontline. Read our full coverage: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

If you know who is sending out the takedown notices at or for CBS tonight, let me know! Signal: crg.32

Bari’s complaint was “there’s nothing new here” and while that’s untrue it’s also irrelevant “we intentionally sent people to be tortured in a hellhole and bragged about it and The Hague is too good for everyone involved” is a story that simply cannot be told enough

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

Wonder if this will end up being one of the most widely watched 60 Minutes packages

this is not what happened

yeah Bari lied

i know Mobile gives bowl visitors a mini-Mardi Gras parade (i still have a smashed moon pie from it) did we even do that for the Gasparilla Bowl? Did we even have a mini Gasparilla parade? I mean, I figure I'd have heard about it? Seems like something we should be doing! it's in the bowl name!

TIL Nelly Korda is Petr Korda's daughter, which I think is a real testament to her superstardom as a golfer that I never even thought about the same last name (or heard it in commentary?) until this weekend when she played with him at what used to be called the Father/Son Challenge

Here's some video from a shoot that was part of the yanked 60 Minutes CECOT story last night Reporter Monica Guy, who has done international freelance assignments for CBS before, was at CECOT five months ago and shared this video (not clear on whose behalf she was there afaict)

The DOJ's position is that this is wiretapping, 404 reporters can be indicted for it, & forced to prove they had the consent of the people who appear on the videos. Their appeal of Judge Mizelle's ruling that they are wrong is due at the 11th Circuit today. Help me fight to keep journalism legal.

A reminder as the vice president of the United States openly spews white supremacist talking points that NBC cut all ties with Donald Trump after he said this

No contract, no coffee. Starbucks workers are still on strike.

If you are confused about why saying "not all Somalis are criminals" is racist, try rephrasing it as "Tom Emmer doesn't get a DWI conviction every time he gets behind the wheel."

I thought they passed a law that federal officials can only buy domestic vehicles?
